"Troubled Hollywood starlet Lindsay Lohan is planning to appear naked in an low-budget film in an effort to revive her flailing career, it has been claimed." That's called a sex tape, right? Whoa, hi-yo! So anyways. [Daily Mail]

The MTV Movie Awards have always managed to deliver one or half a dozen memorable moments worthy of YouTube legacy. But the host of the show has rarely been a factor in determining that year's success story, until the producers' decision to enlist Sarah Silverman last year finally lifted the program's ratings. With last year's success still fresh in their minds, MTV has announced that Mike Myers will helm the 2008 edition, signaling a definitive return to the program's roots. Sixteen years ago, the show premiered with Dennis Miller at the wheel, followed by SNL alum Eddie Murphy, Jon Lovitz, two Jimmy Fallon appearances and of course, Myers' own try in 1997. But recently MTV has rolled their dice with more commercially appealing faces like Lindsay Lohan and Jessica Alba. We took a look back at the show's hosting history to figure out if the show's host, like love, has anything to do with it.

Apparently Lindsay Lohan had such a great time stripping down and showcasing her talents in the pages of New York Magazine that she's overly eager to display the full monty in her next role. Set to play a sex-addicted waitress in the upcoming Florence, Lohan allegedly wanted to turn a topless scene into an opportunity to disprove all the Firecrotch rumors for good. Unfortunately for Lindsay and the rest of the world, producers "nixed that idea." Adding insult to injury, the freshly rehabbed star is reportedly only making $75,000 to take her clothes off prove her acting chops in this role. So why did Lohan decide to take this part at all? As a source tells Star:

An overexcited Perez Hilton fan released a banshee-like shriek that could reportedly be heard all the way in Pacoima after his first major celebrity sighting, Lindsay Lohan. The time that he saw Danny Masterson outside of a Johnny Rocket's didn't count. The man quickly called his friend and asked him if he could e-mail Perez the news of his latest sighting; much to his dismay, the man had very little dish to dish on Lohan other than the fact she wasn't her tights and was with Samantha Ronson. The man quietly realized that it wasn't much of a celebrity sighting after all.

Miley: In three years, all that money is going to be mine and I'm going to get this rad house in Los Feliz and I'm gonna have Lindsay Lohan be my maid. There's going to be sick parties 24/7.

As proven by Lindsay Lohan, there is absolutely nothing wrong with a contemporary actress attempting to recreate the magic of an iconic 60s photo shoot. But while the just-rehabbed Lohan chose to recreate an infamous shoot featuring soft-core nudity, Jessica Simpson chose to ... shave her face? Don't get us wrong, we loves us some Verna Lisi, but this just doesn't have the same Wow Factor.

• Blogger Perez Hilton is claiming he made out with a bisexual John Mayer. This disturbing visual comes a few days after singer Mayer posted a long rambling thing to his blog "about a young guy who maintains a celebrity blog... who has wrestled with a lifelong battle for acceptance as a gay man."

· Times sure are tough for La Lohan these days. With her her bank accounts rapidly dwindling, it appears that she has been forced into indentured servitude alongside the likes of Surfer Dude and Spiky Tips as one of Harvey Levin's minions. All kidding aside, we have a quick note on Lindsay's performance: being able to laugh at yourself is important, but not nearly as important as making others laugh. Makes Pop Fiction look like Candid Camera. [TMZ]

Hey, speaking of TMZ, the gossip outlet for jerks, Lindsay Lohan, a popular subject of theirs, appeared on yesterday's show. She made fun of them and basically called their whole operation stupid, but they didn't really seem to notice or care and just chuckled along like the buffoons they are. Video after the jump.

While Samantha Ronson may do a so-so impression of Michael Jordan in the late 80s, Ronson can't be that much of a positive influence in Lindsay Lohan's life seeing as how she allowed Lindsay to leave the house looking like that. Even if it's a trip to the market, it's okay to say, "Hey, why not give those tights a rest and put on some sweats?" Ronson's job as a friend is to support, but also to step in and say enough is enough.

• Game over, Scientology wins, they have Pete Doherty and Sumner Redstone. Viacom chairman Redstone hasn't actually converted but did have lunch with Scientology bigshot Tom Cruise, probably canceling in his area a personal and business rift with the actor and paving the way for more sweet Mission Impossible money. Doherty has been reading up on the religion and shacking up with a Scientologist DJ who probably hasn't yet mentioned the religion's stance on psychoactive drugs.

Lindsay Lohan will return to the feel-good realm of cold-blooded murderers she's already explored in such previous cinematic outings as Chapter 27, I Know Who Killed Me, and Confessions of a Teenage Homicidal Maniac, as E! News is reporting the actress has signed on to play Manson Family member Nancy Pitman in Manson Girls. So invested is the actress in getting the details just right, expect to see her on red carpets and at area hot spots in the coming weeks sporting styles from the period, with the word "PIG" smeared across her forehead in what we hope will only be pig's blood.

Is Ali Lohan's new look just a matter of spiffing up her hair and makeup for the Living Lohan camera crew, or could she be the latest victim of Ashlee Simpson Syndrome? As you'll recall, Ashlee wasn't able to escape the shadow of her big sister until she went under the knife, and now it appears that lil' Lohan might be following her lead. Some recent shots of her out and about on the red carpet show a nearly unrecognizable version of her former clean-faced, mousy-haired, age-appropriate self. After the jump, we took a look at a few before and after shots to try and figure out if Ali's new hotness is the result of a knife or if she just found herself one hell of a hairdresser.

People boasts 4m visitors to the Time Inc. magazine's web site on the day photos of Jennifer Lopez' newborn twins went up. So, is that supposed to be impressive? Well, it is more than New York magazine drew for its cunningly classy recreation of Marilyn Monroe's last photo shoot, with the troubled actress played by a modern-day trainwreck, Lindsay Lohan. Adam Moss' stunt drew 1.3m US visitors per day at the peak of public interest, according to Quantcast. However, People simply directed web visitors to the print magazine, while New York milked the interest for all it was worth, generating nearly 20 pageviews per visitor. And, while People paid a record $6m to Jennifer Lopez for rights to the actress' babies, New York gave Lohan only a boost to her faltering credibility, which cost nothing, except Moss' reputation for high-mindedness. On the web, at least, People got the poorer deal; and that makes their chest-thumping all the more silly. (Data on New York magazine's traffic comes from Quantcast.)

Ever the upstanding arbiters of non-breaking, debunked news, The Sun today is all over The Lindsay Lohan Sex Tape That Wasn't, going as far as to say Lohan so vehemently protested ex-boyfriend Calum Best's (non-)indiscretion in not just one but two aggrieved phone calls. Because that will show him not to do what he, er, didn't:

• Oprah Winfrey's best friend Gayle King bought a $7.1 million New York penthouse in the name of the talk show host's dead dog, because apparently there weren't enough lesbian overtones in their relationship. The pad is owned by "Sophie's Penthouse LLC." [Observer]

Our closely watched forays into Lindsay Lohan Sex Tape Authentication (and Eventual Debunking) elicited a response late Thursday from representatives for Lohan ex Calum Best, whose D-list member was absolutely, positively, most certainly for sure not the one serviced in the discredited cell-phone short. He should be so lucky — or so his handlers say:

• OMG Paris Hilton is finally saving African kids with her beautiful love, just like she promised! Oh wait, the kids go to a private school and are wealthy. Paris' way too fashionable clothes don't even look dirty. Nice try, liar. [Faded Youth]
