The Lindsay Lowdown: Lohan Crosses Her Fingers for 'Just My Luck'


By Scott Huver, Hollywood.com Staff

Lindsay Lohan is an hour and a half late.

And just as Hollywood.com was starting to really grumble about how Miss Thang probably had to stop off at The Lobby to kiss a boy and dance on a table or some other adventure to be breathlessly reported in Us Weekly, the redheaded starlet arrives, hobbling into the Four Seasons with a heavily bandaged ankle.

“It's a hairline fracture,” she explains. “Yesterday morning I was coming out of the shower and I slipped. I can't wear heels--that’s the bad thing."

And just like that, all is forgiven. It’s either one of the more clever Hollywood PR stunts we’ve seen in a while, or Lohan’s actually a lot more like her character in Just My Luck--a beautiful young girl whose ridiculously charmed life is upended when her luck turns disastrous after a kiss from a sweet but jinxed guy--than we suspected. “Lindsay was walking along with me on the street and turns a corner and walks smack dab into a glass wall,” confirms the film’s director, Donald Petrie. “She was laughing. I said 'Okay, that's going into the movie.’”

“When we did the washer dryer scene that we shot all night, I got a rash,” Lohan added. “I started breaking out in hives all over from the soap.” And then there was the time she accidentally took a stunt punch for real…Okay, we’re sold. Life’s not as easy for Lindsay Lohan as we’ve been led to believe. So we sat down and got the scoop on everything that’s going on with Lohan, with a little side commentary from her friend and co-star Samaire Armstrong.

Hollywood.com: We hesitate to ask, looking at your foot, but do you consider yourself lucky?
Lindsay Lohan: I think I'm very lucky.

HW: Did you ever have a real run of bad luck like your character?
LL: If I did, then I don't know about it. You have to go through highs and lows in life to learn to appreciate things, just like Ashley Albright in the film.

HW: Do you have any good luck charms?
LL: My sister. And my bracelet [from the Sunset Boulevard store Caviar & Kind]. You can see it on the cover of W Magazine.

HW: Are you superstitious?
LL: I'm superstitious. No hats on the bed. I'm psychotic when it comes to hats on the bed. And for some reason, everyone puts their hat on my bed. It’s bad luck.

HW: A romantic comedy like this is a little bit more grown-up than your previous roles.
LL: It's kind of like a coming of age thing for me. And the characters that I'm doing after this are my age or older and maturing. You can only act as if you're in high school for so long. It was the perfect thing for me because it's not a dark film. It's a really lovely film. It was my first romantic comedy and I get to kiss Chris [Pine] in it. I still have a young audience to look out for, and this is acceptable for the younger audience and for people that are older than me.

HW: The broader physical comedy is for your previous fans.
LL: Slapstick comedy tends to be more effective. At first it’s nerve-wracking but then you think, “I want to make this as funny as I can.” This was the first time I did a lot of physical comedy and I really enjoyed it.

HW: Did you do any girly bonding with your cast mates Samaire and Bree?
LL: They were with me when I got [my tattoo] La Bella Vita during the shoot--it was for my grandfather and it means “A Beautiful Life.” People said it meant “The Beautiful View” because it was on my lower back, which was really mean.
Samaire Armstong: And we shopped! We cleaned out Urbanoutfitters.com.
LL: We decorated the trailers. It was like a sorority. I'm a girl's girl. We took a lot of road trips, too,
SA: We drove to Baton Rouge.
LL: We played The Cure. I remember that.
SA: We found a really good mix CD.
LL: We didn't find it, honey! We stole it. We went on a treasure hunt.
SA: We figured we'd stay out of trouble. It would be good to have an objective when going on a road trip.
LL: We went to a college
SA: We made a list of things we had to accomplish: A picture of a dog, something gold.
LL: Someone's basketball.
SA: We found everything on it, including a mix CD which we listened to all the way home. It was Salt N Pepa….It was good!

HW: Was it hard to keep a low profile when you were in New York?
SA: There was a radio station where they'd get a prize if they took a picture of you.
LL: Oh yeah, I remember that. When I was shooting the [Robert] Altman film [A Prairie Home Companion], they had a big billboard up--“Lindsay, please call the radio station!”--right next to the Fitzgerald Theater. And I was standing outside with Lily Tomlin, Woody Harrelson, John C. Reilly dressed in their cowboy getup from the film, and they're chasing me. It happens for like three days and then they'll come back here because something's going on in L.A. or New York. Or they'll just make it up, man.

HW: And did you ever call that radio station?
LL: I did. I've done a lot of radio interviews with them. And a premiere there next week.
