Don’t call it a comeback…
I would, but Lindsay Lohan might not take kindly to reference in regards to her acting career.
Fresh off her stint in the murderous movie “Chapter 27,” the 21-year-old rehab queen has just confirmed that she will be starring in the new flick “Manson Girls.” E! Online is reporting that Lohan will play one of Manson’s cult followers, Nancy Pitman. Her new gig is in addition to her work recording a new album and costarring in the upcoming Jack Black movie, “Ye Olde Times.”
Now that his run for the president is over Fred Thompson is going back to his day job.
The actor turned politician announced that he will be heading back to TV and will simply pretend that he is the commander in chief in Hollywood instead of trying to make a go of it as the real deal in Washington.
The former senator from Tennessee most recently appeared as district attorney Arthur Branch on NBC’s “Law & Order” and has appeared in films such as “The Hunt For Red October,””Die Hard II” and “In the Line of Fire.”
Thompson dropped out of the race for the Republican presidential nomination a few weeks ago.
Finally, producers of the upcoming “Star Trek” movie may have dissed William Shatner, but apparently they thought Simon Pegg was good enough to appear in the new flick.
The 38-year-old British actor confirmed he would be playing starship Enterprise’s chief engineer “Scotty” in the J.J. Abrams-directed movie, which is expected to debut in theaters nationwide next year.
Pegg revealed that he just finished shooting the film last week. The new “Star Trek” movie stars Chris Pine as Captain James Kirk and Zachary Quinto as Spock. And you can look for the entire cast to reunite if fans like what they see next year. Pegg says he and a few other cast members already signed up to star in three potential “Star Trek” movies.
