The life of troubled actress Lindsay Lohan has inspired the plot of a new comedy movie starring Joan Collins and Lydia Hearst. “Dogs in Pocketbooks” is based on the star’s colourful past which has seen her in and out of jail and rehab over the last few years. The actress will take on the lead role of a young star making her way in Hollywood, while Collins will play a high-powered agent in the picture which begins filming in February. Collins has said the script is a satire on the crazed hysteria surrounding showbiz celebrities. She addsn that Lydia will play a bratty movie goddess in and out of rehab, in trouble with the law, and hounded by greedy agents, predatory paparazzi, off-the-wall stalkers and crazed media, a role obviously based on Lindsay Lohan. She further says that she has spent a lot of time casting for the right actress for this screwball comedy but Lydia is perfect.
