The Lindsay Lohan situation takes another interesting turn, this time away from the courthouse and into the penthouse, if you will.
TMZ is reporting that Lohan is in the process of shooting photos for Playboy magazine, the culmination of a deal that has been in the works for quite a while. What’s the going rate for some Lohan nudes these days? Apparently, $1 million.
According to the sources, Lohan was originally offered $750K, but turned down that paltry sum. One million was apparently enough, as they say shooting began last weekend.
If you remember correctly, Lohan was dealing with some legal issues this past weekend as well.
Of course, the Playboy spread wouldn’t be the first time that the world gets a glimpse at the celebrity in the nude. A few years ago, Lohan did a spread of semi-nude photos for New York magazine. The series of photographs was taken to mimic “The Last Sitting,” an impromptu 1962 photo shoot with Marilyn Monroe. The same photographer that shot Monroe, Bert Stern, also shot Lohan.
Maybe it’s the fact that they’ve seen it before, or maybe it has something to do with Lohan’s recent antics and behavior, but an interesting Twitter hashtag has taken off today. Here’s the best of #PeopleIdRatherSeeInPlayboyThanLindsayLohan –
Upon further review, it looks like the hashtag is the work of @EricStangel (executive producer and head writer of The Late Show with David Letterman) and brother Justin_Stangel (also a head writer).
