Lindsay Lohan may be about to bare all in a new Playboy spread

As if the week has not been dramatic enough for the actress – her probation revoked! Working at the morgue at 5:30 AM! – Lindsay Lohan is purportedly going to appear on the cover and as the featured centerfold of an upcoming Playboy spread.

Amidst the crumbling edifice of Lohan’s career, she has chosen to cope with the dire state of affairs by posing for Playboy. Is that a move up – or further down? This is a difficult call to make. It is true her paycheck is allegedly in the $1 million range, which will doubtless help pay for the bills, unlike her stint at the morgue doing janitorial services, an unpaid gig enforced by the stern, running-put-of-patience Judge Sautner. Lohan has apparently chosen to limit any further inroads on her personal freedom by showing up for her assigned janitorial duties at the coroner’s office. Her appearance there determines whether she can be free until her November 2 hearing on the probation revocation.

Her appearance in Playboy should be less of a surprise than the one at the morgue. The actress, after all, is not known for her modesty. She is also a worshipper at the Marilyn Monroe temple, of which the goddess herself also posed for the mag. She has named her company 6126 after Monroe’s birthdate, and her platinum-blonde locks and self-destructive, booze-and-pills infused lifestyle must surely be part of the identification.

Of course, it is good to keep in mind that Monroe’s life devolved into a barbiturate-in-champagne stupor a little further down the line than the tender age of 26, Lindsay. And she got to sing to the President before the final curtain call. You might be putting the cart before the horse here, sweetie.

Lohan’s childhood did not necessarily point to the Monroe-inspired drug haze that her current life seems to have become. Family on her mother’s side were Irish Catholic stalwarts with her great-grandfather, John L. Sullivan, a co-founder of the Pro-life Party in Long Island. Lohan herself attended high school until the 11th grade, where she did well in science and mathematics. Since Dina and Michael Lohan, her parents, were very ambitious for their children’s entertainment careers, however, she began homeschooling midway through high school to make room in her schedule for more important matters – like a starring role on Disney’s remake of The Parent Trap.

Her early performance in 2003’s Freaky Friday was critically acclaimed and earned her the award for Breakthrough Performance at the 2004 MTV Movie Awards. Critic Roger Ebert wrote that Lohan "has that Jodie Foster sort of seriousness and intent focus beneath her teenage persona."

Lohan aimed to become a triple threat as actor, singer and dancer, and to that end sang the theme song to Freaky Friday and signed several album deals with major music industry figures. Her role in Mean Girls in 2004 was again a critical and commercial success for which Lohan received four awards at the 2004 Teen Choice Awards, including Breakout Movie Star, Best Female Performance and Best On-Screen Team along with several other cast members.

Over the next few years, however, her life, despite a few more commercial successes, spiraled further out into chaos, marred by frequent car crashes, a DUI arrest and a shoplifting conviction. Paparazzi have been pursuing the actress relentlessly, partly because she makes for dramatic copy.
