Lindsay Lohan out of ‘The Other Side’

Lindsay Lohan is out from the director David Michaels’ new film “The Other Side”.

“Our team simply chose to move on from Lindsay and we’ll soon be announcing a replacement,” usmagazine.com quoted writer-director David Michaels as saying.

The 23-year-old actress was set to play a student working on a deserted island. The film’s financial backers were nervous about relying on Lohan and didn’t think she was “bankable”, a source said.

Another source said that the film’s failure to get financing had “nothing to do with Lindsay. It was because it was an unknown director. All the major stars in this film dropped out,” reported the website.

The cast of the movie will have Woody Harrelson, Giovanni Ribisi, Dave Matthews and Alanis Morissette. Brittany Murphy was also attached to the project before her December death.

Lohan was last seen in 2007 film “I Know Who Killed Me”. Her next role is in thriller “Machete” that will release in September this year.

Lindsay sparks about swine flu fear on Twitter

Lindsay Lohan sparked fears that she had contracted swine flu on micro-blogging site Twitter.

The Hollywood actress posted a note on her twitter page last week asking fans, “What are the symptoms of Swine Flu?”.

“I never said I have it or anything, I was just reaching out to ask because everyone here may know different things about it. Isn’t this what Twitter is for? I don’t (know if I have it) and my doctor is coming now. I didn’t Google it bc (because) this seemed more convenient,” hollywood.com quoted Lohan as saying.

The “Mean Girls” star wrote, “Achey? My friend had it and I am sick and I’m now concerned!!!!”

The actress played down fears for her health after receiving messages from fans, but admitted she had asked a doctor for a check-up.
