'Lindsay Lohan to star in first movie after rehab'

Lindsay Lohan is in negotiations to star in her first film since finishing her 3-month court-ordered stay at a California rehab facility.

The 24-year-old actress will return by mid-year for a role in "Escaping the Game," a drama to be filmed in the US and Spain, producer Nathan Folks told RadarOnline .

Folks said contracts are still yet to be signed but expected the deal to be finalized within the next few weeks.

Lohan will play an investigator hired in a case involving missing celebrities who fake their own deaths and create a new life for themselves on a remote island.

"She wants to do it. It's about celebs who become very famous and can't take it," The New York Post quoted Folks as saying.

The movie role comes after Lohan was charged with felony grand theft over a missing 2,500-dollar necklace.

Folks is confident the " Mean Girls" star will stay sober and out of jail, and said he had discovered how to get her insured for his 30 million dollars project.

"We can get her insured if she is with someone who is keeping an eye on her 24/7," he said.

"Lindsay and I've discussed it and she's already agreed to the condition," Folks added.

'Eccentric' Lady Gaga dresses up for her fans

Lady Gaga, who is known for her eccentric fashion sense, has revealed that she dresses up for her fans.

The ''Born this Way'' singer thinks her fans would feel let down if she had a lazy day in comfortable clothing.

The singer also insisted that she never gets the urge to shun her outlandish outfits for something more sedate and comfortable.

"I want to give my fans everything they deserve and they do not deserve sweat pants and sneakers,” Contactmusic quoted her as telling Britain''s Hello! magazine.

"They deserve the real me all the time, and this is who I am."

The ''Bad Romance'' star insists her wacky outfits are a huge part of her life, not just an image she is trying to project to the world.

"They''re my lifestyle, it''s not dressing up, a costume, a show, or a character. It''s my whole life.

"I''ve been dressing like this for more than six years.

"While I was living in New York, I fell in love with expressing myself through clothing.

"I wanted to make a name for myself as a musician and stand out," she added.

Firang girls flock Hindi film industry

American singer, Jennifer Lopez’s cousin, Caterina Lopez, apparently wants to make a career in Bollywood. This admission catapults Caterina in the long list of foreign babes wanting to woo the Indian audience on the big screen. “I am eagerly looking forward to Bollywood. India is soon going to be my second home,” says Caterina. Ask her if she has heard of her namesake (almost), London-bred Katrina Kaif made it big in Bolly land and she says, “Yes, I’ve even heard her latest item song, Sheila ki jawani. I’m glad we share a common name, the only difference being the initial alphabet and the surname.”

Actress Giselli Monteiro, a Brazilian, who was first seen as a desi belle in Love Aaj Kal, says that foreign chicks are probably attracted to B-Town because “India is at the epicenter of the world. In the last decade, India has emerged as the international entertainment hub and the movie business is growing at a very fast pace here.” And what, according to her, attracts the Indian audience to a foreign babe? “Many presumed that I was an Indian because of my Indian character. But at the end of the day, people appreciate the actor on screen and the origin doesn’t really matter,” says Monteiro.

Another actor who became a household name after an alleged link up with Salman Khan and a stint in a reality show, Claudia Ciesla, of German origin, says that the audience wants to experience “something different” in each movie. “People want to experiment different cuisines and clothes and travel locations. I think it is the same with the face they see on the big screen too,” says Ciesla, still awaiting her big break.

Ankush Bhatt, who directed Caterina for an item number in the upcoming film Bhindi Bazaar, says that since Indian movies are now offering more mature and bold content, certain roles require a face that portrays the same in an aesthetic manner on screen.

“Foreign actors are not very conscious about their body and if a girl has an Indian face, she will even connect with the audience and get the extra leverage as compared to an actor who has a typically firang face,” says Bhatt.
