Blake Lively agonizes over projects

It must be difficult when your career is going so well that you can’t decide which awesome job to take next, but this is exactly the situation that Blake Lively is finding herself in this summer. While she’s on break from Gossip Girl, she wants to use her time wisely and do a movie, but she’s been offered two projects that are both so tempting, she’s having trouble deciding between them.

On one hand, she could join Mila Kunis and James Franco for the remake of The Wizard of Oz (she’s looking at the role of Glinda), or she could star in the new Oliver Stone movie and do something serious and gritty. Oz will probably net her more cash, but the Oliver Stone project sounds more interesting.

Lindsay Lohan finally gets some work – in a book

Okay, so it’s not a role in a movie, but at least it’s something - Lindsay Lohan has signed a book deal that’s set to net her $3.4 million. But don’t worry, she’s not writing her memoirs… in fact, she’s not writing anything at all, as the book is going to be a collection of photos featuring full frontal nudity and graphic poses.

I know Lindsay’s hard-up for work, and porn does seem like a natural next step for someone like her, but this still seems like a strange choice. At least the book will also feature actor James Franco, who might bring some class to the project, and according to photographer Terry Richardson, the whole thing will be tastefully executed. So if he’s going for tasteful, why on earth would he want Lindsay Lohan?
