Lindsay Lohan cut out from porn star picture: Looks like Lindsay Lohan won't be starring as porn star Linda Lovelace after all. After months of waiting for the troubled actress to get out of jail and rehab, director Matthew Wilder says she is no longer in their plans for the biopic "Inferno" about the woman who starred in "Deep Throat."
Wilder said that he and the producers of "Inferno" had come to the decision to recast the film, according to the L.A. Times. He denied a TMZ report that Lohan had quit the project, but declined to elaborate further, saying he wanted to avoid "mudslinging."
It's a different tune than Wilder was singing in July, when he made it clear that he was going to stick with Lindsay. "Not moving on, not recasting, not under any circumstances," he said then. More recently the filmmaker said he was frustrated by the delays in filming. Lohan is not expected to leave the Betty Ford Center until January. T.I. says his drug problem started when he received prescriptions for Oxycontin and hydrocodone after a series of dental surgeries this year.
"After the pain went away, I kept taking it. I had like five, six prescriptions. So, I had, like 80 pills. Everybody else might drink or smoke a blunt; I took a pain pill," the 30-year-old says in an interview win the December issue of Vibe magazine.
T.I. said he is now clean and sober, thanks in part to his September arrest in Los Angeles. Police found ecstasy pills on him, and while the case was eventually dropped, a judge found him in violation of his probation stemming from a 366-day prison stint for trying to buy illegal guns and sentenced him to 11 months in jail.
Prior to going back to jail, the Atlanta rapper attended one-on-one and group therapy sessions to help kick his addiction to pills and codeine, which he was drinking to get high.
He says he's now learned his lesson. "If you rationalize putting yourself in harm's way, risking your well-being, your health, your freedom, your family's well-being and livelihood in order to be high, that's the rationale of an addict," he said.
But while his wife, Tameka Cottle, was arrested with T.I. and faces a misdemeanor drug charge for possession, he would not say she had a problem with drugs. "I don't know. She went with me to some meetings and counseling. She ain't got no problems," he said. "Her thing is she smokes. Smoking weed is different than taking pain pills. You can smoke weed today and not smoke another blunt for another three months."A week after Eva Longoria filed for divorce from Tony Parker, he's filed back at her. TMZ obtained the dueling divorce docs Parker filed last week against Longoria.
The documents, which were stamped at the court in Texas on Friday, were filed using initials only. Unlike Eva's docs, there is no mention of a prenup. It is unclear how lawyers for Eva and Tony will work things out — where they get divorced, San Antonio or Los Angeles. Will Ferrell is fine with Forbes magazine rating as "most overpaid" actor. With his animated movie "Megamind" taking in mega-millions and topping the box office for a second week in a row, Ferrell's fine with that distinction. "Isn't that the whole point?" he asked People at the launch of 7-Eleven's "Coffee Cup With A Cause." "I mean, aren't we all striving to be overpaid?"
Apparently, it's not just about making it anymore - it's about making it and then having someone say your overcompensated for doing so. "Apparently I'm living the American dream without even trying," Ferrell, 43, says with a chuckle.
