Days after showing off her her Lohans to the world, Lindsay has lined herself up a brand-new, fully clothed, A-list project.

Producers have exclusively confirmed to E! News that the tabloid queen is resuming her day job, signing on to star alongside Jack Black in Ye Olde Times, a comedy tentatively set to start rolling this April.

A source at Patriot Pictures, which is producing the yukfest, told E! News that the film follows two rival Renaissance Faire troupes as they make their way through the competitive circuit. It's unclear whether Lohan will be one of Black's repertory players or a member of a competing Ren Faire faction.

Lohan's mother, Dina, also let slip via a phone call to E! News from her Long Island home that her firstborn was currently in talks to star in two other big-screen projects, though she did not reveal any details about them.

The 21-year-old star most recently has been shooting the tango-themed romance Dare to Love Me, her first feature since completing an extended stint in rehab.

Lohan, who is currently in Milan for the city's Fashion Week but will be back in Los Angeles to make the pre-Oscar rounds this weekend, is also recording a new album that sources say has a hip-hop vibe.

Still, her biggest hit of late is her Marilyn Monroe-channeling New York Magazine nude photo spread.

Dina Lohan was quick to defend her daughter's participation in the shoot.

"She's an artist and is back on her feet and working. She's on the cover of a respected magazine. How can that be a bad career move? It is not!" she said.

"We had no idea it would blow up like it did," the elder Lohan continued. "She was just doing a project connected to someone near and dear to her heart with an amazing photographer. Marilyn Monroe has always been someone close to her heart...[Lindsay] just wanted to honor this icon she had never met. She wanted to keep [Monroe's] memory alive."

New York published five additional photos of the naked star, leftovers from the shoot, on its website Wednesday. The highly publicized release drove such a high amount of traffic that it effectively froze the site.

"I had no idea about the outtakes," said Dina Lohan. "That's the one part of it that I'm not thrilled about, because the photos in the magazine are what, from an artistic perspective, were meant to be out there. But you can't control that stuff. I'm just happy with the finished product."

The mother also took a crack at coverage of her comeback-minded daughter, while seemingly taking a whack at another A-list member of young Hollywood.

"Scarlett Johannson goes to clubs and no one cares about it," she said. "But if Lindsay goes to a club, it is world news!"

I wouldn't really call something involving Jack Black big right now, seems like he's going down a bit. His position is also not being helped with his new movie being criticised for being a rip off from a the Amanda Show skit.

And what has Scarlett Johansson ever done to Dina? At least Johansson doesn't get full out drunk and doesn't crash cars, there's far less known about her private life anyway. She likes to keep private and manages to do so.

Jack Black and Renaissance Faire troupes... sounds like an odd match. But hey, it's a job.


And as for Dina and the whole letting things "slip" and randomly bringing up ScarJo:

oh, dina is just telling the truth!
when scarlett does something no
one cares. oh but when linds does even
a little bitty thing...Its the end of the world!
just like all these other stars, eva, kirsten
going to rehab. no one gives a damn
honestly. they just love to attack lindsay.
I dont no why.

told you she would be back for the oscar parties. i just know her to well!

That's not the point. What good does it do to bring Scarlett up like this?

When was the last time Scarlett got busted for a DUI or went to rehab then? Oh wait, she never did.

So Dina is telling the truth in that respect, nobodoy ever brings it up because there simply isn't anything to bring up.

Adrianna, some members here are a fan of Scarlett, so yeah, don't offend them.
Anyway, at last! New movie project!

two other big-screen projects

Alice in Wonderland *crossed fingers*
Barbarella *double crossed fingers*

I read this movie imdb boards and so far the people there like the idea.

First one very unlikely and it would be wrong.
Second one already cast, Rose McGowan got the role.

what dina said was the truth but there was no need to bring up her name but i think she just used her as an example

Again, not the point lol

I'm not even a Scarlett fan, but I don't think Dina has any business commenting on other people's lives. It's bad enough when she comments on Lindsay's affairs. Taking a random hit at Scarlett Johanson takes the merit off her statement, even if it's true.

WOW

Ann-Margret is in the cast

her real idol

oh, well for the scarlett
fans, I didn't mean to offend you all
but thats just what I think is the truth
so I wont apoligize. In my oppinion
dina was correct. its only my
oppinion so I guess it doesn't really matter
any how right? no one should get offended.
but anyways


Ann-Margret is in here! no way!
thats is her real idol. the first icon who
hollywood ever compared her too!
her and linds in the same movie. 2gether.
...amazing!

I don't think anyone was offended, but it was unnecessary to bring up Scarlett. Dina could've easily said that Lindsay gets more flack for the things she does than other artists, without naming names. End of story.


Cary Elwes is also attached to the project, Ann could grab a bat at some point in the movie and beat the crap out of him (c'mon you know that was one scene seriously missing from Georgia Rule lol)

it would be cool... I think Jack Black is funny as hell!!

There's nothing wrong with own opinions, the problem in this case just is that the argument is based on nothing at all. I would have said the same thing if she had used another celebrity as an example who hasn't actually been in trouble, doesn't matter if I liked that celebrity or not. If she wanted to defend Lindsay that way she should have used an example of a celebrity who actually did get into trouble.

Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! ANN-MARGRET! Haha Linds probably will ask her so many questions

She met her like 3 years ago in Young Hollywood Awards, lol
