Lindsay Lohan is Marilyn Monroe

Lindsay Lohan is Marilyn Monroe

Lindsay Lohan bares all and does her best Marilyn Monroe, recreating Monroe’s last (nude) photo shoot for New York Magazine.

In 1962, photographer Bert Stern shot Marilyn Monroe in “The Last Sitting” photo shoot and 46 years later, he revisited his classic shots with Lindsay Lohan. Here are some snippets from Lindsay’s interview with NY Mag:

On comparing Marilyn Monroe and Heath’s Ledger’s tragic deaths: “They are both prime examples of what this industry can do to someone… I don’t know. I’m not them. But I sure as hell wouldn’t let it happen to me.”

On posing nude: “I was comfortable with it… I didn’t have to put much thought into it. I mean, Bert Stern? Doing a Marilyn shoot? When is that ever going to come up? It’s really an honor.”

On the Monroe photos Lohan revisits: “Here is a woman who is giving herself to the public. She’s saying, ‘Look, you’ve taken a lot from me, so why don’t I give it to you myself.’ She’s taking control back.”

Lindsay is Marilyn … what every she smoke she should stop it.
She’s nothing like Marilyn, not in her wildest dreams
Marilyn is unrivaled. unique.
I wonder why wanna be starlets try to copy the one and only Marilyn.

What the heck is she trying to prove? The word “wrong” does not adequately convey the wrongness of this photo shoot…

Girl, do something credible! Quit trying to force your fame….you are absolutely ruining any chance for yourself. And your comments about Heath and Marilyn? Please save it…sometimes it’s better to just keep your mouth (and legs, for that matter) shut.

i don't think so @ 02/18/2008 at 11:29 am

I have to agree with most of the posters so far…she is NO Marilyn. I think she looks silly in these pictures. Marilyn was far prettier and exuded sexuality, where Lindsay just kind of well….doesn’t

She can’t compare herself with Norma Jeane… She’s not even close…

she looks so stupid

This spread is disastarous! She looks so bad! I cannot believe that her management let her do this.

yikes! these pix are on pretty much every popular gossip site and MAYBE 1 out of 75 comments are pro-lindsay. she’s gonna be hating life after today…..more then she already probably does. sucks to be her!

Lindsay is hideous. Why would they disgrace Marilyn by creating these pictures? These pictures are an abomination.

Why would New York magazine even approach Lindsay to do these pictures? What were they thinking trying to mimic an iconic photo shoot with such a trashy celebrity? How is she anything like Marilyn? They should have at least picked someone credible like Scarlett Johansson. Lindsay looks gross and gives stupid comments about Monroe and Ledger. I just can’t understand why they would try to elevate her status when she keeps doing ****** moves, is a *****, and clearly lacks intelligence.

WTF? MY GRANDMA WOULD BE BETTER IF WERE SPEAKING OF
“MARILYN MONROE” PHOTOSHOOTS.

OH LORD, LA LOHAN JUST DONT DRINK ANYMORE AND GO SOMEWHERE. YOUR CAREER IS JUST ABOUT OVER ANYWAYS.

NY magazine is really reaching. These pictures are embarassing.
First, Heath Ledger did not commit suicide. Ms. Lohan might want to crack open a newspaper once in awhile. To compare the two in any way, sounds ignorant.

Second, the photos being emulated were of Marilyn Monroe at about 35-36 years old. How old is Lindsey now? MUCH younger than 36–and she certainly looks older than 36 in these pictures.

Also, the biggest reason these pics don’t work is Lohan certainly doesn’t come near Monroe’s charisma or star power. The Stern photos have been done and done much better.

This is embarassing for the Lohan “team” and NY mag…they all come out looking ridiculous. Bad choice.

I bet Lindsay weighs all of 110 pounds, and I don’t think Marilyn weighed that ever.

Marilyn never went to rehab or “forgot” to wear underwear, or had pictures taken of her falling down drunk.

Marilyn’s image now is a good model for what girls should aspire to be…not underweight with ribs poking out, but normal with more than skin and bones.

Lindsay is not.

horrible
and pathetic

That’s pretty odd, as a photoshoot- why would they want to draw the comparison between these 2 troubled, lovely starlets? One of whom killed herself, and one of whom is recovering from her problems, hopefully.

This photoshoot is pathetic and the biggest insult to Marilyn Monroe..What’s with these actresses trying to conjure up their inner Marilyn..that weirdo Nicole Kidman did her Marilyn version for W. …Ugh!

eeeh. so wrong :( nice try, but marilyn is marilyn. :)

The logic of this escapes me. A young starlet with serious drug and alcohol problems agrees to do a photo shot where she pretends to be a actress that downed a bottle of pills and vodka and killed herself in the process. Weird.

No way, not even close.

That’s a nasty wig.
Next time she should try to look like Marilyn Manson …

Lindsey can’t pull this off anymore. She looks too hard and beat down in the face now.

linds is a ho too @ 02/18/2008 at 12:10 pm

This ***** Lilo needs to give it up. She is nowhere in any league close to be beautiful, much less gorgeous like Marilyn was.

Sheesh, wtf is wrong with Linds. She’s pasty white and a sl ut taboot.

Not impressed. Nice breasts but that’s about it. Nothing erotic or sexy about these pictures. Lindsay is trying too hard to get noticed. Sometimes less is more.

And It’s never the actresses I want to see naked doing these kind of photo shoots.

Wow look at Lindsay!!!!
