Yeah, it really is. I love the song as Ashley sings it but Lindsay could've carried it so much better, plus Ashley has even said in the past that she can't relate to the song at all personally, whereas Lindsay clearly could.

It sounds like it was written for Lindsay. I never thought about it, but after hearing that, it is perfect for Lindsay.

'Rumors' doesn't surprise me, but 'ILFTD' and 'Bossy' have been getting more airplay than 'Over'? Wow.

Apparently Lindsay turned down Heather Graham's role in The Hangover because she didn't like the script . Bet she's kicking herself now.

It's such a shame because it would've been the perfect comeback role for her. Yes, the role was a bit brief, and yes, she would've played a stripper (not the first time, I Know Who Killed Me ) but it was an extremely likeable character.

IMO, Lindsay needs to do supporting roles and she doesn't need to take any roles that remind people of her personal life...she is talented but she needs to earn people's trust again

Yeah, her supporting roles ("Bobby" "A Prarie Home Companion" "Chapter 27") have given her more praise than her leading roles ("Just My Luck" "Georgia Rule" "I Know Who Killed Me") in recent years.
I hope "Labor Pains" doesn't disappoint (in terms of being a fun comedy).

JULY 15, 2009, 11:30 AM ET What Were They Thinking? Drugs, Pregnancy and Lindsay LohanBy Michelle Kung Is this really the most tasteful marketing campaign for a Lindsay Lohan film? You decide. “Labor Pains,” which stars Lohan and Cheryl Hines, began life as a feature film but ran into problems, and now debuts Sunday as an “original” television movie for ABC Family. The actress stars as a young woman who feigns pregnancy to avoid being fired. Hence, apparently, the slogan: “All her career needs is a little bump.” Well, no, maybe not, when “bump” also means, to many, doing a line of cocaine. As Lohan tries to rescue her own career, is it really helpful to have these ads in the same magazines and on the same Web sites which have so gleefully chronicled her theatrically squalid struggles with drugs, rehab and jail? For a movie on a kids’ channel? Just saying.

Early reviews...TELEVISION REVIEWS Labor Pains -- TV ReviewBy Randee Dawn, July 15, 2009 04:20 ET Bottom Line: Parental guidance is advised.Disney -- and by extension ABC Family -- is Lindsay Lohan's spiritual home. Sure, she might have earned her celebrity success outside the Mouse bosom, but lately her most widely seen appearances have been courtesy of "Access Hollywood." So perhaps it's appropriate that she returns to her home base with "Labor Pains." Glad that she did: "Pains" succeeds because of Lohan. As Thea, a publishing-house secretary living on the financial brink who rashly lies that she's pregnant just before her boss fires her, Lohan is a bright light in the center of an otherwise a fair-to-middling telefilm (once destined for feature release). When paired with the delightfully sardonic Cheryl Hines, the two provide a chemical camaraderie that lifts the script from its "Three's Company" premise. Now, "Labor" was never going to be a neorealistic treatise on society's emphasis on breeding. We are in Disneyland, folks, the place where Thea can get away with stuffing her belly for months (even the younger sister she's raising is unaware; their parents are dead). But what was a single-episode subplot on ABC's briefly lived "In the Motherhood" (also featuring Hines) doesn't stretch well. As Thea's colleagues get into the prospect of her single parenthood -- baking brownies, knitting booties, offering marriage -- what was a slightly demented lark turns ugly. When Thea starts buying into the delusion, the script enters a weird area: Is this a comedy or a look at someone whose cheese has slipped off her cracker? To her credit, Lohan plays it all straight-faced, firm-jawed; we believe that she believes she's pregnant. But the dissonance between the story start, where it goes and where it ends (in a nice, Disney-esque bow, I promise) is bewildering. Perhaps the writers did start out with a treatise on breeding that made a gradual descent into darker depths rather than a trip into the abyss. But when Disneyland comes calling, you have to enter the land of make believe. So pretend this is a true comedy. Enjoy the inappropriate reveals, the casual violence toward animals, the misogyny-as-humor and the poo jokes. As Billy Joel once said, It's just a fantasy. It's not the real thing. But sometimes a fantasy is all you need. Airdate: 8-10 p.m. Sunday, July 19 (ABC Family)

TV Review: ABC Family's 'Labor Pains'By Paige Wiser on July 15, 2009 4:58 AM 'Labor Pains'Two stars7 p.m. Sunday, ABC Family In extreme cases, I have a hard time separating the actor from the role. This is why I can't watch Woody Allen movies anymore - for the fear that he might write himself another part where he kisses a young starlet. Too close to reality for comfort. And Lindsay Lohan has reached that point for me, too. Clearly I have read too many Us magazines. As I was watching "Labor Pains," my mind kept wandering, as I scrutinized her for self-tanning streaks, or hair extensions, or hickeys. It was hard to hear Lindsay say, "I'm officially a pathetic loser," or to have another character say, "I didn't want people to think that you're a wayward skank." Too close to reality for comfort. But "Labor Pains" - originally intended for theaters - deserves an open-minded review, and so I will try. The concept of the movie is insultingly stupid: An office screwup, about to be fired, lies and says that she's pregnant. The company's legal department backs her up, and so eventually there is an excuse to film a scene where Lindsay is wrestling in her lingerie with a fake pregnancy belly. (Was this before or after her flirtation with anorexia?) (Focus!) For what the movie is, there is some good writing. I always enjoy a joke about APGAR scores or recycling breast pumps. I liked the cast, too. Lindsay's love interest is played by Luke Kirby, who is more from the Jonathan Silverman school of endearing cuties than the expected straight-up hottie. And her office best friend is played by Cheryl Hines, who can do no wrong in my book. It's startling, actually, how many recognizable faces are in the movie. If I were to suggest a drinking game for viewers - which would be wrong, considering the pregnancy plotline as well as Lindsay's past alcohol troubles - I would advise you to drink some sort of girly shot each time you see actors who have most likely since fired their agents. Janeane Garofalo! Chris Parnell! Tracee Ellis Ross! Willie Garson! Creed Bratton! Jay Thomas! Ana Ortiz! (You could also chug some hard lemonade each time you spot Lindsay wearing leggings from her own line.) (Focus!) If you don't think too hard about it - and don't mind seeing every single romantic movie cliché crammed in two hours - then you will find "Labor Pains" to be less painful than actual birth. If only there were a mental epidural to go with it.

Jul 10 2009 11:21 AM EDT Lindsay Lohan Launches Production CompanyThe actress and her fashion partner are reportedly developing TV and movie projects. By Jocelyn Vena Lindsay Lohan and her fashion-line partner are set to start their own production company called Unforgettable Prods, according to the Hollywood Reporter. Kristi Kaylor, who runs Lohan's 6126 clothing line, and the actress plan to expand their empire with Unforgettable Prods. According to the report, they're developing several projects including a TV show called "Faux Real," described as " 'Entourage' for the fashion world. The team is also looking to get into the dating-show game with a show called "That's What Friends Are For." They are also looking working with a charity to produce a "docu-cause" series and trying to option a couple of books for TV and film projects. "We're taking a 360-degree approach," Kaylor told THR, noting that they plan on integrating digital media into the brand. "Lindsay is 23 years old, and she's so plugged in to mobile media." It was recently rumored that Lohan — whose latest flick, "Labor Pains," debuts on Lifetime later this month — passed up the role of Jade the stripper, eventually played by Heather Graham, in "The Hangover." According to Us Weekly, Lohan passed up the role thinking the script "had no potential," despite her agent's campaign to get her cast. "The agent tried hard to get ['Hangover' director Todd] Phillips to consider her," a source said. "And when he finally agreed, Lindsay said she didn't like the script!"

Lindsay Lohan finally finds a project no one can faultJun 22, 2009, 11:21 AM | by Jennifer Armstrong God knows Lindsay Lohan has been struggling for some time to do anything right. There was that unfortunate the-recession-really-is-bad Fornarina ad. Plus her most recent movie project, Labor Pains, going straight to cable. And there's the apparently crippling boredom that led her to post topless photos of herself on Twitter. But she's finally stumbled upon a project no one can argue with -- not without feeling like a jerk, anyway. She and Ryan Seacrest are both saying on Twitter that they're working on a TV project together: a reality show that would give a contestant $1 million to turn his or her life around. Seacrest writes, "Met with Lindsay last night about a show idea I have for her... it helps people and gives others a second shot! Still putting it all together." And Lohan says, "Working on a really great project for television -- I am excited! Something meaningful like (reality TV show) Extreme Home Makeover on ABC... :)" TMZ says she'd sit on the judging panel to determine who deserves the second chance -- which seems, well, kind-of like her greatest expertise. Maybe a reality show isn't the best message to send about her career, but if she's already at low-budget-ad-campaign/TV movie/topless photo level, you can't argue with some good-deed-doing. What do you think, PopWatchers? Could this be a good starting-comeback vehicle for Lindsay? Or should she compete for the prize herself?

07/13/2009 12:00 AM Liz Smith: Lindsay Lohan – Nobody's 'Over' at 23By Liz Smith "Is Lindsay Lohan’s Career Over?" That was one of the screaming headlines on AOL’s homepage last week, an outlet given to hysteria and misleading snippets on any given day. Apparently AOL took a poll, and 77% of people think the beautiful former child star’s career is kaput. I say all 77% are wrong. The girl just celebrated her 23rd birthday; it’s a little early to be hanging crepe on her and her livelihood. All of this mean-spirited sniping stems from the fact that Lindsay turned down the female lead in one of this summer’s big hits, "The Hangover," which has taken in over $200 million. She didn’t like the script. Heather Graham took the part. Lohan did like the script of "Labor Pains," a movie that went straight to DVD. Oh-kay! LL’s making some bad choices, but that hardly means she’s down for the count at 23! Listen, every actor makes bad choices. Hollywood history is full of stars turning down the ace role. Who knows if "The Hangover" script she reportedly saw was the same thing that went before the cameras? It’s not like she turned down "Gone With the Wind." I’ve been in this talented young woman’s corner since she first broke out as a sexy and glamorous teen star, grown up physically, if still emotionally immature. She’s been through a lot but it hardly helps to go around predicting the worst. How about allowing her to come out on the other side of her substance abuse issues and that very emotional relationship with Samantha Ronson without dooming her career? I’m betting on a comeback – or a "return," as Norma Desmond preferred. After all, even former co-stars such as Meryl Streep and Jane Fonda have praised Lindsay’s talent and foresaw great things for her. P.S. Lindsay looked just fine with Ellen DeGeneres the other day, and said "I didn’t get into the business to be in the tabloids. I’m really not that interesting … they follow me to the grocery store. What am I supposed to do?" Oh, and despite the bad rap that Lindsay’s mother, Dina Lohan always gets, Lindsay vigorously defended her mama to Ellen. So there! The girl’s taking it on the chin herself. Keep on keeping on, Lindsay!

Comedy About a Pregnancy Spices Up ABC FamilyBy EDWARD WYATT Published: July 5, 2009 Before Selena Gomez, Demi Lovato, Miley Cyrus and Hillary Duff took their turns as the Walt Disney Company’s reigning adolescent queen, Lindsay Lohan was charming children and their parents as the impish twins in Disney’s 1998 remake of “The Parent Trap” and as a blossoming rocker in 2003’s “Freaky Friday.” Lindsay Lohan stars as a secretary who pretends to be pregnant to avoid being fired in the film “Labor Pains” on ABC Family. Once Ms. Lohan left Disney’s embrace, however, she quickly became every parent’s nightmare — car wrecks, rehab, cocaine possession and, infamously, 84 minutes in jail. Now, after three years of being seen more on tabloid covers than on movie posters, Ms. Lohan returns to the Disney family this month when her latest film, “Labor Pains,” has its premiere on the ABC Family cable channel. ABC Family, the cable channel that was founded as the Family Channel by the evangelist Pat Robertson and that is contractually obligated to run his “700 Club” talk show in perpetuity, has been tarting up its image with series like “The Secret Life of the American Teenager,” about a pregnant 15-year-old, and “Greek,” about the fraternity scene at a preppy college. It stepped up to buy television rights to “Labor Pains” from Nu Image/Millennium Films after the producers decided to take the project directly to television and then to DVD release. The film, which features Ms. Lohan as a publishing company secretary who feigns pregnancy to avoid being fired, was originally considered for theatrical release. But Ms. Lohan’s box-office potential has ebbed with the middling performance of her three most recent films — “Chapter 27,” “Georgia Rule” and “I Know Who Killed Me.” Tom Zappala, senior vice president for acquisitions at ABC Family, said that he saw an early script and felt that the romantic comedy “was a good match” for the cable channel. “We felt like this is a movie we would have commissioned,” Mr. Zappala said, comparing it with the channel’s recent “Another Cinderella Story,” which starred Ms. Gomez. “We kept tabs on the production along the way,” he said. “She showed up on time and she knew her lines.” Asked if ABC Family, which will broadcast the movie at 8 p.m. on July 19, might see itself working with Ms. Lohan again, he replied: “We’re open to it, I think.”

I was really disappointed with "Labor Pains." Lindsay didn't have that charm that used to have, some of her lines weren't believable, the beginning was dreadful, but luckily it picked up near the middle.
Here's hoping her next film will be better.

Somehow I was expecting more, since this was a return for Lindsay in a comedic film, but I thought it was just all right. I did kinda felt the 'low-budget/made-for-tv' vibe of the film, but overall I liked Lindsay. Sure there were moments of plausibility and some undeveloped characters, but hey, it's a movie. It's not the best of her career, but it does give us a chance to see her act again. I just hope the next two films that she's filming blow us away and makes people give her more major roles again.

Can this thread be retitled and moved out of the music forum? She is quite clearly not going to release another album anytime soon.

So, Did That Lindsay Lohan Movie Bomb?Tue., Jul. 21, 2009 12:00 PM PDT by JOAL RYAN Millennium Films; Nu Image Films Did you watch Lindsay Lohan's straight-to-cable movie?1. Who will Lindsay Lohan not soon be confused for? Harry Potter. The Lohan-led Labor Pains premiered before 2.1 million viewers, per the latest Nielsen rankings, about half of what ABC Family Channel scored the previous Sunday for an offering of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. 2. Who else will Lohan not soon be confused for? Lindsay Lohan. The previous week's Disney Channel airing of 1998's The Parent Trap, featuring original-recipe Lohan, also scored twice as many viewers as Labor Pains. 3. So, did the movie bomb? Nah. While it was by no means one of the hotter all-new cable offerings (it ranked in the 300s), Labor Pains did score a better-than-average prime-time audience for ABC Family, and per the network, was the week's top cable movie among coveted female demographic groups, meaning, yes, Lohan proved herself to be hipper than the seventysomething Angie Dickinson. (Um, Labor Pains and Dickinson's Mending Fences aside, it was a light week for new cable movies.) Still, if Lohan's chick-flick comedy had been a theatrical release, and every TV viewer had bought a multiplex ticket at the nationwide going average of $7.18, the movie would have grossed $15.1 million, which is more than any Lohan film has opened to since forever (read: post-Mean Girls).
