I was going to lol first but lindsay is actually a good actress – she’s just all kinds of messed up. Howeeeeever, really can’t picture her as Elizabeth Taylor! They’d really have to sell this one.

Sorry to have to tell you this but Deadline is known here in LA to be credible. more often than not, the information posted on their website turns out to be true. but not to worry, Lindsay is only in talks which is way different than actually being offered the role.

She’s talented (or she used to be, who knows about now?) but she’s trash. So my thoughts on Lindsay playing Taylor? F NO

she is not the beauty taylor was………looks NOTHING like her. She might as well be playing Oprah Winfrey.

Perhaps she is in talks with her mother or self–she does have delusions regarding her worth as an actress. Whether any studio would consider hiring/insuring her for any role is questionable. She’s a mess who showed promise as a child but hasn’t produced anything but headlines or mugshots as an adult. It’s ridiculous and an insult to Ms Taylor.

It’s not April fool’s day ok? When was she talented? Mean girls could have been played by a mentally handicapped girl and still have fans. Still we will laugh at that crap of Elisabeth Taylor movie. So disrespectful towards such a good and talented actress.

I think that she’s an excellent choice. I love her acting and I think that as she matures then she will stop with the foolery. We’ve all been through that and she will get through it too.

while they’re considering this, why not just dig elizabeth taylor’s corpse up and pee on it? even that won’t be as insulting as having lindsay play her.

no not her, big mistake.

She may have a chaotic life and stuffs, I agree with that, but she is a good actress. It’s even worth by the way, such a talented actress ruined by her private life… But anyway, she’s talented, she was really good for example in Machete. Let her show what she got, and forget about her private life and public appearances, even if it’s difficult !

@Sabrina: I agree. I think she should have got at least an Oscar nomination for Machete. Like Meryl Strip for playing Margaret Tatcher.
