It would seem that of all the things that people can bet on when they go to online gambling sites, some are definitely more contemptible than others, and then some are just mean or hateful to bet on. Online casinos and other online gambling sites are starting to take bets on whether Lindsay Lohan will appear in a hardcore x-rated film in the next twelve months.
The latest distressing comments come directed at Lindsay Lohan. The online gambling community is betting on whether or not she will appear in a porno over the next year. They say that this is the only way that she will be able to make money and that her entering into the realm of X-rated films is a logical and good step for her.
Online gambling sites in England and across Europe often offer odds on social events, including American Idol competition, the Oscars, and the Presidential election. The latest hot tidbit open for betting is the rumor that actress Lindsay Lohan will do a porn shoot. While pundits have said for some time Lindsay Lohan's ruined career leaves her pornography as the only way to continue to get movie roles, no one really believed a one-time A-list performer would cross the adult taboo. But Lohan is out of money, still living an extravagant lifestyle, and virtually unemployable after wrecking her working reputation.
Lindsay Lohan was seen driving a Maserati belonging to a porn producer over the last week or so. Dennis DeSantis, producer of such films as "Butt Sluts", lent Lindsay Lohan the car while pushing her to make what might be a record-selling porn flick.
Celebrity website What Would Tyler Durden Do says the plan being pushed for Lindsay is to film an amateur-style sex tape, release it as a personal item that was stolen, and then pay her millions in the public disguise of a legal settlement. This format has already been used to boost the public recognition of no-talent D-listers Kim Kardashian and Paris Hilton.
But Lindsay Lohan is already far more famous, and notorious, than either of those attention whores. And Lindsay was known as a talented actress before her drug and alcohol problems stemming from her shocking parenting overwhelmed her career. Surely a scripted movie, shot by a name studio like Vivid, would pay Lindsay Lohan the money she needs, allow her to act, and not even dent her reputation more than her personal antics have done. Ex-Miss USA Kelli McCarty, a regular for years on daytime TV, just recently did exactly that.
Online casinos have posted numbers from 3-1 to as high as 6-1 on LiLo's porn adventure. But it could be easy money for a thoughtful player. After all, who's higher right now in public esteem, Lindsay Lohan or Jenna Jameson?
Esteemed director Steven Soderbergh of "Traffic" and "Erin Brokovich" fame is making a new film starring Sasha Grey, the 20-year-old star of over 100 hardcore films. Perhaps after Lindsay's made 100 x-rated films, she'll be ready to work with someone like Soderbergh.
About Lindsay Lohan: With such a showbiz and money-making background, it should come as no surprise that the Lohans were quick to make use of their first child's precocious nature and red-haired and freckled good looks. Actually the first red-head to be signed by the Ford Modeling Agency, from the age of three she was appearing in TV and print ads, working for Abercrombie and Fitch, Gap, Pizza Hut, Wendy's, Jell-O (with Bill Cosby) and Calvin Klein. Taking dancing and singing lessons from the age of four, she boosted her employment possibilities even further, eventually scoring over 60 commercials.
Perhaps the biggest market to have been recognized and tapped by major studios in recent times is the tweenie girl market, females who are still children but moving quickly towards maturity. Naturally, new stars were required to front the films and, predictably, there were many, many applicants. Many applicants but only two clear winners - Lindsay Lohan and Hilary Duff.
Both would score smash hits onscreen, and both would engage in parallel careers in music. But it was Lindsay Lohan, perhaps because of an already impressively lengthy CV, who'd come out on top. In 2004, Rob Friedman, Vice President of Paramount would say of her "Right now she's the reigning teen queen. Lindsay is identifiable. She's not an unreal personality. Audiences can relate to her".
And how Freaky Friday was a massive hit, she then headlined another in Mean Girls, then shared top billing with the world's most famous VW Beetle in Herbie: Fully Loaded. And she was smart about it, too. Though her stock had risen to the point where she was paid $7.5 million for playing the lead in the light comedy Just My Luck, she also cleverly sought out adult movie-making experience by taking a bit-part as Meryl Streep's daughter in Robert Altman's A Prairie Home Companion. The reigning teen queen was clearly preparing herself for the long haul.
