It didn't take the producers of the Dylan Thomas flick The Best Time of Our Lives long to find a replacement for departed star Lindsay Lohan. Sienna Miller, reports Variety, will be stepping into Lohan's stinky, puke-filled shoes, tackling the role of Caitlin MacNamara, Thomas's wife, who reportedly has a lesbian moment with his lover Vera Phillips, played by Keira Knightley.
So here's the scorecard for Lindsay's dropped parts:
- Bill. Dropped out because the director wasn't famous enough. Replaced by Jessica Alba.
- A Woman of No Importance. Dropped out because she was concerned about her health (ha!). Replaced by Jessica Biel.
- The Best Time Of Our Lives. Dropped out because of a contract dispute. Won't admit the real reason - she didn't want to curb her partying for the duration of the shoot, as the producers undoubtedly demanded. Replaced by Sienna Miller.
Crabbie has no particular sense that Alba, Biel or Miller is necessarily more talented than Lohan, or sexier. Each is certainly more professional though. What Lindsay needs to learn is this - when you're competing for parts with women who are by-and-large as accomplished as you, if not more accomplished, the one thing you definitely need to project is reliability. You are not the greatest thing since bread came sliced, Linds. And frankly your looks are already going. The only question I ask is, why would any producer take you in the first place? I'd rather have Alba, Biel or Miller (even if Miller has that "tourette's" problem of hers). You'd better shape up fast, Linds, or you won't have the parts to drop in the first place.
