Stopping by Good Morning America this morning to support Bobby and to fulfill her biweekly quota of image-rehabilitating public appearances in which she assures the world that partying until 6 a.m. on a nightly basis has no deleterious effect on her work ethic, Lindsay Lohan claimed that she had never even seen the now-infamous letter from Morgan Creek head James G. Robinson informing the actress that all hangover-obscuring, exhaustion-related excuses for skipping work on Georgia Rule would no longer be tolerated, a missive read by roughly every living person in the entertainment industry within ten minutes of its publication on The Smoking Gun. We suppose it's possible that she never received it, as it was originally addressed to her temporary home at the Chateau Marmont, and not to a location where she spends the majority of her time. Accordingly, we'd suggest that any future employers needing to communicate urgent messages about unacceptable set absences have their letters delivered by hand to Lohan's favorite bathroom stall at Hyde, or to the emergency room at Cedars Sinai, the two places she'd most likely be found on days she misses her call times.

Fresh off the flop of My Super Ex Girlfriend, director Ivan Reitman convinces a financial backer to contribute $200 million to co-finance ten films over the next five years through his Montecito Picture Co. Producing partner Tom Pollock explains the economics of their hit-and-miss, mid-budgeted comedies: "The kinds of movies we make are in an exceptionally sweet spot in the studio system; we tend to make comedies at a price. When they work, like with Old School and Road Trip, they make a lot of money. When they don't, like Eurotrip, they don't lose much. From a Wall Street standpoint, that's a good risk." Here's to throwing shitty comedies against the wall and seeing what sticks! [Variety]
· Morgan Creek determines that a few more dollars might fall out of his pockets if they hold Ace Ventura's corpse by the ankles and give it a vigorous shake, then hires some writers to whip up a third installment centering around the pet detective's son. Given Jim Carrey's recent struggles getting a project off the ground, don't rule out the actor making a cameo as Ace and then finishing out the rest of the movie playing his own kid. [THR]
As the media wonders why Viacom didn't buy MySpace when it had the chance, rumors are circulating that Sumner Redstone ordered Tom Freston to go to San Francisco to make a deal, but Freston never went.
