Lindsey Lohan drank 18 whiskeys, slurred “That must be the record,” showed her vagina, and passed out in a pool of her own vomit at the Chelsea Hotel. Therefore, she had to opt out of the upcoming Dylan Thomas biopic. Too realistic for Hollywood I suppose.
Even less surprisingly, Sienna Miller has signed on to replace Lindsay in the role of Thomas’s wife, Caitlin. Like many of us around here she has dedicated her life to the shameless exploitation of this fabled flophouse (the Chelsea I mean, home to both Thomas and Edie Sedgwick) and its dysfunctional and damned denizens. We are green with envy because, while Sienna has spent, by all account, only a few hours in the hotel, we have had to endure 12 long, years of Bohemian purgatory, to arrive at less than a tiny modicum of her fame. And she’s not even that famous.
It should also be noted that Sienna seems to have a thing for guys named Dylan. At least this one’s dead, so they can use his real name.
Ah well, make a good one this time Sienna. It’s gotta be hard to mess up a movie about this place!
