And I disagree with your summation of her acting skills too. I think she's a fine actor, how many of her films have you seen? I'm not a big fan of her music at all, but even Stevie says she's a great actor. Plus, she REALLY wants the part... I'm sure she's well studied on it, and has had years of preparing for it. Not to mention her dubious notoriety would bring big buzz if a movie were ever made... and no doubt, comparisons between the two women would be made. Lindsay could really change her image and be taken seriously if she did this movie, and knocked it out of the park.

Bu if you're simply judging Lindsay on her personal life and tabloid blunders, you should consider this: how much of an angel is Stevie? Back in the day, I'm sure Stevie could have done Lindsay under the table in regards to drug intake, promiscuous sex, and general celebrity craziness (such as having your hotel suites repainted and fitted with pianos every night of your tours). I doubt Lindsay has had 4 abortions either. It sounds like I'm a big Lindsay fan, which really, I'm not. I just believe we should give people credit where it's due.
Well, I stand by my statement.

Another difference between the 2. Lohan courts the tabloids and paparazzi. Without her shananigans she'd have no visibility or career for that matter.

Stevie lived her wild life in private. She let her work speak for itself. She has so much talent that she did not have to court the media and beg for attention. And yes I have seen Lohan's work.

I thinl Alicia Silverstein (is that the right last name) looks more like Stevie than anyone and is a better actress than Lohan.

But hey to each their own.

The bottom line is that Lindsay Lohan might slightly pass for a Stevie, but she does not have the voice of a Stevie. They're not even close, and you'd need to find that in an actress above all other things, in my opinion.

Mean Girls was an adorable movie, and Lohan was good in that.

But I do not want to see her try to play Stevie in ANYTHING. If she truly had some respect for Stevie, or was an actual fan of Stevie's music, why the hell did she butcher Edge the way she did? That was completely inexcusable, seriously.

Also, while Stevie did enough blow in her day to fell an army, I can't recall her ever getting out of a limo and flashing her crotch to photographers even once, let alone repeatedly. Be wild all you want, just have some class.

But Lohan loses on all fronts it is not just the looking like Stevie part. You need to have something to play the part, either the look or the a ting/singing chops. Lohan has none of those things.

Yes yes. :-) She has the spinning head thing going for her now she just has to learn to make the body move with it.

Lohan offends my eyes and ears, so to have Stevie say she doesn't want anyone to play her yet, is fine with me. And if someone out there must portray Stevie, please, by all that is sacred and holy, do not choose Lohan. She's crass, can't act, can't sing, and she has zero mystique. She isn't an enigma, she isn't a leader. She's a follower. Stevie most certainly leads people. She's a poet. What is Lohan? A washed up, attention-seeking, junkie 'actress'. I think Stevie deserves quite a bit more than her.

And she looks zero like her. I look more like Stevie and my resemblance to her is nil...

The irony of all of this? Stevie's been playing Lindsey for decades.

Well, I'd LOVE to see Kate Hudson play Stevie! She's one hell of a actress, who could easily pull off "Stevie".. I've said that for ages, as soon as all of this Blohan scandal came out years ago.. LOL..

YES. I would love to see that.

I don't judge Lohan on her tabloid life. She shouldn't play Stevie because she's a lousy actress and a worse singer, imho

Sorry, Lindsay, but I already have a contract. I'm playing Stevie this supposed movie, not you. I AM MORE OBCESSED THAN YOU ARE. GET OVER IT.

LOL, I'm like on sugar high right now, so yes, I know it looks stupid.

Us Magazine, April 9. 2009http://www.usmagazine.com/news/stevi...ad-body-200994

In an interview published Thursday, The New York Times asked the 60-year-old Fleetwood Mac singer -- who battled a drug and alcohol addiction -- about reports that Lohan, 22, wants to buy the rights to Nicks' life story and play her on film.

"Over my dead body," Nicks snapped. "She needs to stop doing drugs and get a grip. Then maybe we'll talk."
