Elizabeth Taylor's Sons Are Not About Lindsay Lohan Playing Their Mother
Lindsay Lohan will start shooting Liz & Dick (aka I Can't With That Title) next month in L.A. and while she has the blessing of Lifetime obviously, Elizabeth Taylor's friends and family aren't endorsing that shit. The chances of White Oprah eating something other than gin and Adderall stew for dinner are greater than Elizabeth Taylor's sons blessing LiLo by giving her their mother's good luck earrings before sprinkling her forehead with White Diamonds. That's what Pulitzer nominee The National Enquirer (via Celebitchy) says anyway. Their inside source says that Lifetime should've reached for the stars instead of reaching into the gutter in front of Chateau Marmont:
“Liz’s sons, Michael and Chris Wilding, feel there are many other actresses who are far more qualified to play their famous mother. They think gorgeous and talented stars such as Cate Blanchett or Emily Blunt should have been short-listed for the role. Liz’s children feel their mom deserved better! Liz was not only a great movie star, but a great philanthropist, and it’s a slap in the face to her memory to have this errant party girl play her. She’d be screaming bloody murder over this whole fiasco!”
There's more similarities between my asshole and a monarch butterfly than there are between Lindsay Lohan and Elizabeth Taylor, but the more I think about this the more it works for me. Yes, LiLo's old ass is more suited to play Grandma Anthony in Lifetime's Casey Anthony movie starring the male Meredith Baxter, Rob Lowe, but her as Liz has all the makings of a beautiful mess. It's going to be like watching a freckled train slowly crash into a stack of cue cards. The Razzies are going to open up a special basic cable category for this mess. And sometimes you have to ask yourself, "Will Joel McHale throw hate on this on The Soup?" If the answer is yes, then it's the right thing. When all else fails, think of Joel McHale.

I think Delta Burke looks like Liz Taylor or Suzan Phlachette did. Delta would have did good !
Many website are selling the Gucci Bags On Sale at a attractive price,who claim they are real gucci items from gucci outlet. But all of them are always the replica of gucci ,because there is not a Gucci Outlet Online at all authorized by gucci company.
loving that 'when all else fails, think of joel mchale' comment....couldn't be more insightful.
WHAT are the producers thinking? Maybe they need a tax write off?? Nobody is going to waste their time watching this crap.

This bitch is a disgrace not only to actors, but to human kind altogether. She's not even worthy of playing Linda Lovelace, so who in their deluded mind ever thought of offering to play Liz Taylor?

HAHAHA ESE. You kill me!!! I'm going to assume that you're being sarcastic, so I'm already considering switching back to either my Alain Delon or Klaus Nomi avi so I can get some respect around here.

Ewwwwwww, she's so fug
Why didn't they fix the wonk eye? She doesn't look anything like Elizabeth.
She doesn't look anything like Liz. And her voice is all raspy. Liz was probably a bit of a mess at 25 but nothing like Lindsay. That Lindsay comes from Dina and Michael Lohan probably assures her of never over coming her issues or becoming a healthy mom or a humanitarian. Liz had a hell of a bumpy ride until she was no longer a sex symbol. But she also had a hell of a career and money to fall back on. I don't see Lindsay ever being Liz but its also called "acting" oh well.

i actually agree with you on Linds. Maybe because we're so close in age, and i can still remember quite well what my early twenties were like
-------------------------------------------------
Ya PL I think that does have a bit to why I kinda feel for her, you're bang on as far as wondering what would have happened to ourselves with that much cash AND no one to stop you especially in HW and being famous where everyone wants to get high with you. So many actors we know went through the same thing she is but they didn't have hundreds of gossip sites, cell camera and the 24/7 immediacy of the internet to show every ugly misstep. Having said that ultimately it's up to her to get her shit together and lord knows she's been given more chances than she rightly deserves. She is getting to the age where you can no longer give her a pass for being young but in spite of ALL this I STILL kinda fell bad and would like her to grow up and get it together lol!
Ok, yes Taylor was boozy and a pill hound BUT she could actually act as a child and an adult! She could smolder and be heart broken. She had a seductive charm and voice. The Cracken is a stunted actress. You can tell she is trying to act (see Georgia Rule). And as for Liho's voice, sore throat grit is not sexy. There are plenty of unknown actresses out there and a larger pool of known actresses that they could have looked at. But they didnt. This is a joke and only to pull us in to watch this mess.
If you were getting banged by one of the Hiltons, Mickey Rooney, and Eddie Fisher, you really got no business calling Lindsay Lohan names.
Lindsay looks more like Liz circa 1984 than her early years. Also? I think we need to stage an intervention with the Enquirer's exclamation point abuse. It! Doesn't! Make! The! Gossip! Any! More! Shocking!

I can only imagine how much worse things woulda been if i'd also had tons of money, been raised a spoiled cunt, had a million ppl making excuses for my shit behavior, and had absolutely no support system, just a buncha ppl encouraging my dumbassery, no matter what i did. I actually hold out hope chick can get it together. 25's young
I keep coming back to look at this pic. It's SUCH a trainwreck!

That being said, Lifetime movies are a campy hoot.
Cate is in another universe and shouldn't even put a toe on a Lifetime soundstage.
I might get flamed for this but I really hope Linds shows up and does a good job on this, I think if she did it might help her get her shit together. Even after all her fuckery I still find myself rooting for her a tiny bit.

Linds is perfect for this role...both were/are druggies and drunks.
Also Liz never paid for any of her jewelry either!
No to Cate Blanchett, she has a very unique different brand of beauty. But I think Kate Winslet would work.
I still think Lifetime is hoping that Blohan will get arrested or in a scandal before shooting starts, so they can cast someone else and still get the publicity.

Hahahahhaha!
And excellent observation about Julie Christie. Gorgeous woman, great actress.
That photoshopping is a masterpiece.
Cate Blanchett? Forgetting for a moment that this is for Lifetime... what? She's beautiful in a unique way, but doesn't even remotely look like Elizabeth Taylor.
I avoid Lifetime as much as possible, but I might actually tune in for this. As said already, I'm sure it will be a delightfully campy mess. Lindsay can't tarnish Liz's name, because no one is going to take this shit seriously.
And yes, please! to Steve Buscemi. Wouldn't it be awesomely disgusting to have to watch Lilo and him makeout? Not that he would work for Lifetime, either. That would be like, number two to that disgusting kiss between Liza Minelli and David Gest.
MK photo whooof! Another actress Julie Christie was capable of great ugliness in front of camera. Obsession with always a pretty face now, we are losing soul. Does Lindsay still have one?
edited * above not said to be mean.
btw -? Ashton Kutcher as Sir Richard Burton
That pic is priceless.
Blohan probably thinks she will have to do "method acting" to relive Liz and her life which includes the famously alcohol fueled "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?"
Linds isn't in Liz's league. It's like having Paul Reubens do Richard Burton. Actually, I think he would do a better job at Burton than she will do as Taylor.
Our only hope is for Lindsay to wrap herself around a telephone pole after a bit too much "Columbian White" as Robert California would put it.

I completely agree with Michael K on this and have mentioned it before. If this tv movie provides the fodder we all believe it will provide, we are in for a treat.

I'd watch that
They could cast Steve Buscemi as Richard Burton at this point and it would not detract from the suspension of disbelief AT ALL.
Stan...they haven't cast Dick yet.
On the Gotti movie they finally realized that Hohan has more mug shots than John Gotti...scared I guess.
Thanks Stan!
I agree with @parissucksliterally, it's a bloody cable show, this mess can't be much worse than Jennifer Lover Hewitt playing Audrey Hepburn. Wrong actress choice? Yes. Awkward fun to watch? Also. And... let's wait and see, everybody deserves a chance, even Lilo.
@Deb, I'm going to HK too next week! Go there a lot for work. What about those huge bags of dried duck tongues they sell at the candy stores? Yummy. The Chinese restaurant at the Marco Polo in Harbor City is good, a bit pricey but worth it!

Liz was a dumpy skank too but she was in some good flicks in her youth. I think they should have hired a heterosexual girl to play La Liz. Lindsay is a big old dike lesbo.
