Judd Apatow has a pretty good resume with comedies, yet when Lindsay Lohan was offered the lead in “Knocked Up”, the role that went to Katherine Heigl, Lindsay turned it down. Todd Phillips also has a pretty good resume with comedies. His latest, “the Hangover”, has made $270 million worldwide in 4 weeks. Oh but you’ll never guess what savvy actress decided that script “had no potential”.
A source tells Us that director Todd Phillips approached Lohan to star in the hit flick after their mutual agent campaigned on the actress’ behalf.
“The agent tried hard to get Phillips to consider her,” says the source, “and when he finally agreed, Lindsay said she didn’t like the script!”
The role went to actress Heather Graham.
This is all good news for “the Hangover”, because Lindsay would have been a pain in the ass. I’d rather having something stolen from one of the pyramids on my set than Lindsay Lohan. Like a mask or something from a pharoahs tomb, one with a warning that a curse will strike down all who lay eyes on it. There’s no way that could be any worse than Lindsay Lohan.
