Lindsay Lohan Not A Total Wad (Huh?)


Somebody out there thinks Lindsay Lohan isn't a total bitch-monster. I know, it came as a shock to me too. But, there it is - testimony to the concept that Lindsay may have some capacity to behave like a professional.

The unlikely report comes to us from someone working on the set of Lindsay's movie I Know Who Killed Me (you know, the one that's on hiatus while Lindsay dries out). This source - possibly someone Lindsay paid off - says the train-wreck/actress is "great on the set" and "friendly," and further says that the film's producers are very impressed with the work Lindsay has done thus far.

First of all, the issue of whether Lindsay is any good or not is separate from that of her conduct. The girl obviously has talent. The problem is that, if she doesn't learn to comport herself better, that talent is not going to amount to anything. Second, I'm a tiny bit dubious about the report of Lindsay being "great on the set" and "friendly." Not that I doubt she is those things - I'm sure that Lindsay is on her best behavior in the company of those who hold her professional fate in their hands. But that's just it - she's only behaving that way because she thinks she has to. We all know that Lindsay can turn on a dime. One minute she's your friend, the next she wants to tear your throat out. These people she's being so friendly to - I wonder what she says about them behind their backs? I'm sorry, but I don't think it matters what impression Lindsay leaves on people. She's obviously a master at affecting different personae according to the situation. She is an actress, after all.
