As is the case today.
NEW YORK (AP) — Lindsay Lohan will portray Elizabeth Taylor in a Lifetime film about her love affair with actor Richard Burton.
Lifetime on Monday made official a casting decision rumored for months. The network says Lohan will star in "Liz & Dick," with production set to begin in early June.
There was no mention of who will play Burton or when the film will air.
Taylor and Burton met as co-stars of the 1963 epic "Cleopatra." They fell in love as the world looked on, left their respective spouses and got married. Then they divorced, only to remarry and divorce again.
In recent years the 25-year-old Lohan has gained her own measure of notoriety. "Liz & Dick" represents a step in her attempted career comeback.
Phelpspeak is proud to speak on behalf of all of those who have been so unjustly villified as petty, mean spirited and/or petulant in response to remarks they may have made to the effect that Hollywood has de-evolved into a pile of pandering sycophants, incapable of having an original thought and/or unwilling to show even the slightest signs of intelligent life, existing only, for all intents and purposes, to serve the mindless masses by stubbornly insisting on making celebrities out of nobodies while demeaning the time honored art and craft of quality film making by casting the same five rehab rejects in every project that comes down Sunset Blvd in the pathetic and mistaken belief that notoriety and artistry are synonomous.
And, at the same time, is happy to provide irrefutable evidence that said remarks, far from being petty, mean spirited and/or petulant are, in fact, precise and bullseye dead center accurate.
Said evidence to be found above, in italics.
6 to 5 and pick em, there has been serious discussion about the role of Richard Burton being offered to Charlie Sheen.
The next sound you hear will be....
the scraping at the.....
