Lindsay Lohan Puts Gun To Her Head in Terry Richardson Photo Shoot

This week in ill-advised moves by would-be comeback starlet Lindsay Lohan : A photo shoot with skeeze-photography specialist Terry Richardson in which Lohan plays with what appears to be a real gun, putting it to her head and even in her mouth. Fun! Richardson, who of late has cornered the market on jiggly Kate Upton coverage, posted the Lohan photos to his Tumblr ” Terry’s Diary ” today but has since apparently taken them down. Of course, this being the internet, nothing’s ever deleted fast enough, or permanently. The photos that remain up feature Lohan in a sheer bra, which might be headline-making enough on their own if the gun pics weren’t so much more disturbing (via Oh No They Didn’t ): After making their way around the blogosphere, the pics have disappeared from Richardson’s Tumblr, and for good reason; this is the last thing Lohan’s team needs as they attempt to explain away her brush with paramedics the other week, and her car accident before that. It’s unclear when these photos were taken, though the original post says they were taken at the Chateau Marmont. And what does it mean? Cavalier art shoot or red flag? Meanwhile, Richardson’s Tumblr features a bounty of titillating artsy-exploitative photos and videos of Upton, including the palate-cleansing, strategically-featured distraction GIF entitled ” Kate Upton getting out of a pool. ” And for more fun with starlets, you can see basically all of Paz De La Huerta ( NSFW ) as photographed by Richardson.

After Magic Mike, Still-Retiring Steven Soderbergh Looks to TV and Less ‘Important’ Movies

The Magic Mike director gave insight into his future endeavors once his hard stop to movie making begins in six months. He told Reuters that a book and even television work may occupy his interests, following in the footsteps of a number of filmmakers who are crossing over to the small screen in the past several years. “I’ve been planning this for five years … I gave myself an out date and I’m right on schedule. I turn into a pumpkin in January,” Steven Soderbergh told Reuters . He also noted that he’s over making what he dubbed as “important movies,” adding that Che satisfied that desire. Following his latest, Soderbergh will finish off the thriller The Bitter Pill starring Channing Tatum, who also stars in Magic as well as Rooney Mara. And he also has the Liberace biopic Behind the Candelabra with Michael Douglas and Matt Damon shooting this summer. Candelabra may be a window, in fact, into the Oscar winning director’s future since it’s an HBO production. “After I take my self-imposed sabbatical, if I’m going to come back and do something, I think it’s more likely that it would be on television than it would be a movie,” he said.” What do you think of Soderbergh’s move to TV?

Charlie Kaufman’s Frank or Francis A No Go?

Bad news, Charlie Kaufman fans: While some cast members had been hopeful in recent months that Frank or Francis would move ahead, Elizabeth Banks (doing the press rounds for People Like Us ) spilled news to the contrary. “I honestly don’t know where that film is at,” she told AICN. “We were supposed to make it sooner, but it’s been pushed. I think they’re waiting for everybody’s lives to come back together…I don’t really know anything about it.” Speaking with Moviefone, she elaborated that things “fell apart” before the Hollywood satire/musical could move forward into production: “We didn’t get to shoot that movie. It was ready to go, and, as many movies do, it fell apart at the last minute.” UPDATE: Over at The Playlist , the filmmaker’s reps say that the project’s not completely dead — it has just been “postponed.” [ AICN , Moviefone ]

Which of These Three Actors Makes the Most Believable Movie Blogger?

Today in news that doesn’t relate to Comic-Con: Deadline reports that Steve Carell, Jack Black and Nicolas Cage are in various stages of negotiations to star in Frank Or Francis for director and writer Charlie Kaufman. Details on the film are slim, but when it was first announced back in March , Frank Or Francis reportedly dealt with a filmmaker and the blogger “who takes delight in berating his cinematic talent.” (It sorta sounds like that movie Pitchfork that Jonah Hill was rumored for ; bloggers, they’re not just for blogs anymore!) Assuming Carell, Black and Cage sign on for Frank Or Francis — and assuming at least two of them are in talks for the lead roles — this news raises a fairly legitimate question: who among them is believable as a blogger?
