Troubled Hollywood starlet Lindsay Lohan is planning to appear naked in an low-budget film in an effort to revive her flailing career, it has been claimed.
The actress is said to have agreed to strip down for just £40,000 for the indie film Florence to prove herself as a "mature actress".
The 21-year-old, who previously played a pole dancer in the box-office flop I Know Who Killed Me, has reportedly agreed to "full frontal" nudity in her role as a nymphomaniac waitress in the drama.
An insider told The Sun: “Lindsay doesn't care she's getting paid peanuts. She wants to remind people she can act and that she is worth hiring.”
Another source added: “She is fully aware of the potential of her body. Lindsay wants to build up an image as a mature, responsible actress.”
The actress is no stranger to stripping down - she posed nude for New York magazine in March in a recreation of Marilyn Monroe's legendary 1962 shoot by Bert Stern.
Lindsay has previously spoken about her struggle to find quality acting roles following a difficult year which included yet another stint in rehab.
She said last month: "Right now I just want to find a great script, a great role.
"I was so used to working and working and working, and for a good few months there was nothing for me to do. Now I know what it's like to be an out-of-work actor, and how much it scares me."
The actress is also working a new album and she's hoping for big chart success.
In terms of sound, she says: "I want it to be kind of Kylie Minogue-meets-Rihanna. I hope to tour with it and I hope to really promote it."
Ah, so things like morals and such just get in the way of entertainment.
That would take some serious professional acting skills to make an appearance of attractive, or a couple shots and a beer.
Perhaps you’re missing the availability of that script or film part? I don’t think she’s offered that many parts, so she has to take what is offered and make the most of it.
Is this the sequel for Showgirls? Except that Showgirls was actually a good comedy.
I don’t judge others morals, including movie studios. There are lots of movies that I haven’t seen ...besides, I happen to believe that morals are relative. What you consider immoral, obviously some others don’t. Please feel free to boycott anyone you like, just don’t tell others to.
What I watch on TV or what video games I play have little to do with my morals. My morals is how I live my life in the real world.
And yes, I plan on skipping this movie, not because Lohan will be nude, but because she's uninteresting.
My guess is that LilO is offering to do nudity to cash in before a sex tape of her is released. If she’s going to be nude, she might as well, like all good capitalist, make money.
She looks high.
There are plenty of movies with Salma Hayek san clothes.
My comment wasn’t about some “adult”.
I already read somewhere (in an earlier posting) that the producers decided not to go the route of Lohan being all nude.
I agree.
Whew!!! Truly skankalicious, and not in a nice way.

She can stand under my umbrella...ella...ella, eh, eh, eh
"Plenty" is a relative term. Any number less than seventy-five, in this instance, is not "plenty." ;)
Who said she could act in the first place. She was cute in the Parent Trap when she was younger. After that it was all down hill. A serious actress? Please! I cannot stand the sight of her personally. I guess she has fans out there. I for one am not.
