Can Lohan's Acting Trump Her Troubles?
Highs and LiLos
Reflecting on the troubles that landed her in rehab last year, Lindsay Lohan told PEOPLE "I was putting myself in the wrong situations and I didn't have the focus in the right place." Now the actress is trying to reinvigorate her film career. "I think this is what I love to do," she told the magazine. Here she poses during a March 6 photography exhibit she hosted.

Later this month, Lohan's new film 'Chapter 27' is due to be released. In it she plays a John Lennon fan who befriends the ex-Beatle's assassin, Mark David Chapman, played by Jared Leto.

Talking about her past hard-partying ways with Paper magazine, Lohan said the life of an actress is "go-go-go, and the easiest thing was to run away from it, going out and drinking at night." She then turned apologetic, saying "I didn't realize it was getting in the way of my work -- what I've worked for my whole life."

On the eve of this year's Oscars, Lohan was awarded three Razzies for her work in 'I Know Who Killed Me,' in which she played two roles. She won two by finishing in a tie with herself for Worst Actress and won another for Worst Screen Couple for a scene in which her two characters meet.

Many thought Lohan's recreation of Marilyn Monroes legendary "last sitting" for the Feb. 25 issue of New York magazine was inappropriate, citing the substance abuse that has plagued Lohan and killed Monroe.

In January, video surfaced of Lohan taking a drink from a bottle of champagne during a New Year's Eve party in Italy. "The good news was that Lindsay stopped herself that night, called her sponsor, and got herself immediately back on track," said Lohan's lawyer, Blair Berk.

Though she first went into rehab in January 2007, Lohan's problems really started to spiral out of control on May 26 of that year. That day she told ELLE magazine she would never drive drunk. Just a few hours later, she hopped the curb and hit a tree while inebriated.

Two nights later, she had to be helped out of the nightclub Teddy's, where she had been partying with her friend Samantha Ronson.

That night, paparazzi found Lohan passed out in the passenger seat of her car, with Ronson at her side. There was speculation that Ronson tipped off photographers as to Lohan's state and location.

The following week Lohan found herself embroiled in yet another scandal, as photos of her partying and playing with knives surfaced on the Internet.

Comeback from what? Just because they did a media blitz on some personal problems she had , now she's considered an outsider that has to kiss ass to get back in good graces with the Hollywood mafia.

This is a great idea. Lets make a hero out of mark chapman for murdering John lennnon. I know it is wrong to make a movie about someone who took a great artist away from us all at a young age, and a great time in his life. This should be illegal. Even if none of the $$ goes to chapman, this movie shouldnt be made.
Now alot of sickos WILL go kill some famous person to have their movie made too.
Way to go hollyweird. fools
