MovieFone - She's still facing significant jail time and is in no way out of the woods just yet, but Lindsay Lohan is not-so-quietly mounting an attempted comeback in an effort to remain somewhat relevant. The Monday after the 2011 Academy Awards has produced two pieces of Lindsay Lohan news that, surprisingly, don't involve her violating parole or copping a plea deal. First up is news that Lohan has reportedly signed a deal to appear in an "explicit photography book" that, if true (this report comes from the Mirror, so, you know ...) sorta sounds like Madonna's 1992 controversial-at-the-time coffee-table book 'Sex.' Making this whole thing just a bit stranger is the additional news that Lohan will be posing for "graphic" shots full of "full-frontal nudity" with -- wait for it -- James Franco, of all people.
Which would have been exciting news 2 years ago, you know, when she didn't look like a burnt out coke addict like she does now. And I'm no PR specialist but maybe the best way to rehab your image isn't exposing your goodies for the world to see in a hard bound book. Maybe just lay low for a bit, do some charity work, a couple play it safe movies, and I don't know, work on not getting arrested for a good 6 months or so?
And is there anything James Franco won't do? Don't get me wrong, I find him cool as hell, I'm just curious what kind of job offer it would take for him to say no? Offers to pose nude with a burntout, kleptomaniac, junky (and presumably walking STD) apparently don't scare him off.
