Lindsay Lohan to Strip for Sex-Crazed Waitress Role

Lindsay Lohan is not what you'd call everybody's favorite actress.

New Mortal Kombat Movie, New Failure?

It seems that not only Uwe Boll can ruin a great video game by creating a very poor movie, but other people appear to be great prospects, too. For example, take the next Mortal Kombat movie set for a 2010 release (that's an approximate date, since the producers don't even have a full cast yet). It is going ...

I must confess I honestly thought Jessica Simpson couldn't get any more pathetic than she already was.

Sienna Miller had developed a reputation for being somewhat of a troublesome party-going drunk.
