英语文摘:Troubled Lindsay Lohan fired from latest movie

BEIJING, April (Xinhuanet) -- Troubled Lindsay Lohan has been fired from her latest movie, "The Other Side," as she was not "bankable," the movie's director David Michaels told TMZ.com, a popular celebrity news website.

"Our team simply chose to move on from Lindsay and we'll soon be announcing a replacement," said Michaels.

According to TMZ, unnamed sources said the film's investors were worried about having to rely on her. But a different unnamed source told Us weekly that the film's financial troubles had "nothing to do with Lindsay. It was because it was an unknown director. All the major stars in this film dropped out."

The 23-year-old actress last appeared on the big screen in her 2007 flick "I Know Who Killed Me," and she will next appear in the Robert Rodriguez-directed movie "Machete."

Lohan aroused media sensation again this week after her estranged father Michael Lohan persuaded a sheriff's deputy to help him enter her Hollywood home to check on the welfare of Lindsay's 16-year-old sister.

The starlet's father warned that he will "pursue any and all appropriate legal action" to prevent her from becoming "another Hollywood statistic" because of alcohol and substance abuse.
