14 DAY TRIAL // Former music video director and currently esteemed art photographer Tyler Shields chose Lindsay Lohan for his latest spread, which will be included in his upcoming book, “The Dirty Side of Glamour.” In a few shots, the actress is pictured with a gun to her mouth, which has already gotten people talking as to the appropriateness of such a thing, especially given the ongoing scandal, as People magazine informs.
Of course, there are other glamour shots included as well, some of which show Lindsay doing absolutely nothing controversial at all. With her lips painted a bloody red, and matching finger nails, she’s almost eerie striking her best broken doll poses. Understandably, it’s the gun pictures that have gotten media attention and led to talk of whether this is truly something Lindsay would want people to focus on given the turmoil in her personal life and insecurities as to her career.
“Hard to believe, but Lindsay Lohan’s life just got a bit more controversial. Less than a week after her father brought cops to her house and she was named a suspect in the theft of a Rolex watch, Lohan had the Internet buzzing after posting a photo of herself pointing a gun at her mouth on her Twitter page,” People says. Some celebrity bloggers are even more blunt than that, asking whether Lindsay should do this for attention when she’s become the favorite topic of all the tabloids, and rarely because of good things happening in her life.
“Lohan, 23, wearing a black dress and placing the gun on her lips, says the provocative photo was part of a shoot she did with celeb photographer Tyler Shields. This isn’t the first time Lohan has been caught with a weapon. Back in 2007, photos of the starlet surfaced on the Internet showing her holding a knife to Vanessa Minnillo’s neck and also pointing it into her own mouth,” the mag further writes. Back then, though, Lindsay said the photos had been snapped “for fun” and meant absolutely nothing.
On his official page, Tyler Shields does not explain the meaning behind the Lindsay Lohan photoshoot – he never does that, no matter his client. He does say, however, that much has been written about the actress recently, so he was positively thrilled when she accepted to pose for him.
