Searching for her own perfect acting roles may not be in the best interest of actress Lindsay Lohan. With her career on the downward slide, we now discover that she passed up the part of Jade in the hit movie The Hangover. Heather Graham ended up being cast in the role.
This might not be saying much for me, but I have seen it three times and laughed just as hard each time. Gotta say, I don’t know if I would have been as enthused about seeing Lindsay in the role.
Lindsay declared that the screenplay had “no potential” and that she wasn’t interested in playing a stripper. Thus far the movie has brought in $205 million…sounds like a blockbuster hit to us!
What’s even worse is that Lindsay’s manager urged the director to give Lindsay a shot at the role and then when they did, she turned it down.
We are guessing she was too busy with a new enterprise – sunless tanning spray. She teamed up with Vegas business woman Lorit Simon to create and market Sevin Nyne, an airbrushed tanning formula. There is trouble on that front because a Florida chemist, Jennifer Sunday is suing both women for stealing her secret formula.
The lawsuit is for breach of contract, theft of trade secrets, civil conspiracy, intentional interference with contractual relations and deceptive and unfair trade practices.
It turns out Lohan and Simon, who launched their product in May, were attempting to negotiate a working agreement with Sunday to purchase her formula but talks broke down. That apparently didn’t stop the pair from moving forward with the product, which they claim they have been formulating on their own for three years.
Sunday, doing business as White Waves International Labs, has a signed confidentiality agreement with Simon that was inked in January 2009. According to the chemist, her formula contains goji berries, caramel, chardonnay extracts and a sugar-coconut base.
The Sevin Nyne product retails for $35 and is being sold through beauty chain Sephora and the Florida chemist intended to recoup any profits that Lohan and her partner make on the product.
