Poor Things, that slightly interesting comedy flick which would see veterans Shirley MacLaine and Olympia Dukakis as members of the ‘grandma gang’ who exploited innocent people through drug scams, insurance frauds and even murder has now been canned according to Page Six.
The reason? Well isn’t it obvious.. Lindsay Lohan.
In early June, we reported that the movie had surprisingly been delayed less than a week after Lohan had signed up to the project because of her need for a 30 day rehab treatment with vocal support coming from her co-star MacLaine. The movie was then expected to continue once Lohan got out of rehab.
However, in an event that every movie blog writer or visitor could have predicted, Lohan went partying last weekend in Las Vegas which is now said to have scared off the bond companies from financing the flick. This means the funding has now gone and the flick is dead.
Lohan herself has declined to comment on the matter but a friend is reported to have argued that she is the innocent victim in all this and that it’s the studio who has the problems with the movie and they are just looking for a scape-goat.
You know what, I’m half inclined to believe that last comment. I mean after all, wouldn’t you just replace Lohan if you couldn’t use her? It’s not like there isn’t a whole bunch of early 20’s young hot women with no talent to choose from. It makes no sense just to can the picture (or wait for her to finish rehab) when you can just go out and find someone else. And besides, she wasn’t even the lead character.
Shame about this movie because I was quite looking forward to seeing MacClaine and Dukakis as the ‘grandma gang’.
Rosario Dawson and Channing Tatum (although some sources are saying he was fired on set, which just adds to the bizarreness of this film) were also set to star for director Ash Cohen, the cousin of Sacha Baron Cohen.
Lindsay Lohan has once again found herself with an empty upcoming schedule.

This girl’s fifteen minutes of fame ran out ten minutes ago. The stupid tweens who kissed her ass in 2004 are moving on to more stable idols. I can’t remember one of her movies that’s made money, other than Mean Girls, and that was a moderate hit at best.
I’m tired of hearing about this junkie-heifer to be honest.
Any studio who signs her to a deal, lets her on the lot, or even talks to her from now on is a group morons who should go bankrupt. Lindsay’s on self-destruct. Let’s just wait for the inevitable -when she ends up like Anna Nicole- cluck our teeth at how money and fame makes some people go nuts, then give our attention to someone who deserves it.
Lindsay Lohan…what a f*cking waste. Between her, Kelly clarkson and Britney Spears we oughta start a running bet on which unstable broad will commit suicide first or attempt a drug overdose first.
I was stunned at how many roles she was offered in the last 12 months (all of which she lost because of her own stupidity). I will be absolutely amazed if she gets any roles of any worth over the next 12 months.
You know of course that one of her former boyfriends (she’s had more boyfriends than Britney’s had husbands) nicknamed her “Firecrotch.” I wish I was making that up. The girl is a total slut. She’s slept with Jude Law (back when he was still trying to pretend not to be a closet gay) Colin Farrel, and she’s even tried being a lesbian.
She could solve most of her problems and do the world a huge favor if she kept her nose, mouth and legs closed!
