Sources Say Lindsay Lohan "Devastated" By Bad Reviews of "Liz & Dick"

Lindsay Lohan hasn't been onscreen in quite some time now, so it's not surprising that her latest film, Liz & Dick, which aired on Lifetime this weekend, drew some pretty harsh criticism. The Hollywood Reporter compared it to a skit on Saturday Night Live, and The New York Times opined that Lohan was "sleepwalking through scenes." Needless to say, Lohan is none too pleased by these criticisms, and sources say the actress is "devastated."


The movie was thought to be a potential comeback for Lohan, who has spent the past several years in and out of trouble with the law. Unfortunately, after all the bad reviews, it's enough to make anyone wonder if she'll ever act seriously again—doing a Lifetime movie isn't exactly a great comeback.


A friend of Lohan's told The Huffington Post, "Lindsay is devastated by the response to the film. She has got used to all the negative press around her personal life, but this is the first time she has experienced it about her work. No matter how bad things were going for her personally, everyone would always agree that she was a great actress."
The thing is, Lohan hasn't been very actively acting in the past several years, so what would the press be saying about her acting anyway?


Not everyone is agreeing with the bad reviews, though—Lohan's father, Michael, said her performance proved that she is "right up there with Meryl Streep." We'll let you digest that statement for a second.


Michael Lohan said, "Due to the content, I had to step away from a lot of the scenes, but regardless of what some of these so-called critics, who don't have an ounce of talent in their bones, say, Lindsay proved that she is an amazing actress. She still has what it takes to be the Lindsay Lohan that is one of Hollywood's top actresses."


Neither Lindsay's spokesperson nor Lifetime commented on the matter.

When asked for confirmation,the Canadian singer admitted, "By all accounts it would be true. I just really am a big fan and so myself and my camp, we wanted to do this with her and we were thrilled that she was excited about it too."

Hugh Laurie May Take on Pirate Role on "Crossbones"

You know and love him as TV's famous doctor who insists that the patient never has Lupus, but soon, you might see him in a different light, as Hugh Laurie is reportedly in talks to star in an NBC comedy called Crossbones.


Laurie is currently negotiating with the show, but if he signs on, he'd play Edward Teach, also known as Blackbeard, a sort-of king who ruled over the pirates and thieves in New Providence in the Bahamas in the early 1700s. The show will be set in 1715, and is an action-adventure series.

In an NBC press release, the network wrote:
"It's 1715 on the Bahamian island of New Providence, the first functioning democracy in the Americas, where the diabolical pirate Edward Teach, aka Blackbeard, reigns over a rogue nation of thieves, outlaws and miscreant sailors. Part shantytown, part marauder's paradise, this is a place like no other on earth - and a mounting threat to international commerce. To gain control of this fearsome society, Tom Lowe, a highly skilled undercover assassin, is sent to the pirates' haven to take down the brilliant and charismatic Blackbeard. But the closer Lowe gets, the more he finds that his quest is not so simple."


Since House ended earlier this year, it's not surprising that he's on the hunt for a new role. House ended after eight seasons on FOX, but if he signs on with Crossbones, it'll continue his relationship with Universal Television, which produced House and will co-produce Crossbones.


Neil Cross, who created the BBC's hit show Luther will write and executive produce Crossbones. The show is based on Colin Woodard's book, The Republic of Pirates. NBC has ordered 10 episodes of the show, but there's so far no word of when the show would air. As of right now, Hugh Laurie is the only actor who is attached to the project.
