The Interweb is buzzing gently over the idea that Tarantino, following his friend Roberto Rodriguez’s steps, wants to put Lindsay Lohan in a film. The website Absolute Now thinks it would be a great idea:
“Lindsay is just the kind of character Quentin loves. No one expects her to do anything significant on film ever again but he has at least one role he feels she would be perfect for. It’s a shocking, hardcore character but it will put her back on the map much as Quentin did for John Travolta.”
Lohan and mother Dina will appear in Rodriguez’s upcoming Grindhouse reboot Machete although it’s never been clear exactly how much screen time these two messy women get to have. And before you dismiss Lilo into the ingenue ether, always remember, everybody thought John Travolta was washed up by the time he shimmied back into rotation in Pulp Fiction.
But wait, there’s more! Tarantino also has his eye on the ubiquitous Diet Coke & mobile phone pop-shill Lady Gaga. A source in Tarantino’s camp says he has made his admiration of her known, and believes she will be a “natural” onscreen, perhaps for a role as an assassin.
Who knows for certain if Tarantino really said this stuff, or if he truly is a bit of a gossip page junkie, since both these girls are tabloid staples. And if these are just rumors, I hope they don’t start branching out into other lesser pop culture entities. What’s next, Tarantino and Kardashian? Tarantino and Heidi Montag? Uggggh, I just made myself very sick.
