Lindsay Lohan Got Douched

A rumor from the very closed set suggests Stern dangled the possibility that the nudes would be displayed only in a museum or as part of his book and that the tamer shots would go to New York.

Stern did not immediately return messages left via phone and e-mail. Lauren Starke, communications manager for New York tells Radar in a statement, “We’re very grateful to Lindsay Lohan for participating in this historic photo shoot with Bert Stern and we hope that she is as pleased with the beautiful results as we are.”

When asked what sort of career move this might be for Lohan, Howard Bragman of 15 minutes PR says that, given the chance, he would have steered Lohan away from the shoot. It isn’t so much nudity as the wrong kind of attention it inspires, he says. “She needs to get back to acting. I’d rather see her do a student film at USC than take her clothes off in a look-at-me-moment. These shots run the real risk of overshadowing her acting career.” (Lohan stars in Dare to Love Me, due for an ‘08 release.)

“For New York magazine, it’s a brilliant move. For her, it’s a terrible idea,”
Ronn Torossian of 5WPR tells Radar. “For the last six weeks, she hasn’t been in trouble, and then she does this…. It’s okay for her to not be in the news right now.”

Despite the controversy, the shoot does clear up one long-time rumor: Lindsay’s boobs are real. Holla. “Obviously you can see her breasts are real,” Lindsay’s longtime publicist Leslie Sloane Zelnik said.
