Lindsay Lohan Acts for Two in a TV Movie — Labor Pains, an ABC Family comedy airing July 19, stars the onetime Mean Girl as a secretary who falls for the boss’ brother (Luke Kirby, right) while faking a pregnancy to keep from getting fired. Lohan had no qualms about swapping her usual designer duds for mommy gear, says director Lara Shapiro. “She’s so unselfconscious. We wanted to accentuate her stomach, and Lindsay was very game for that.” Their solution? “A no-muumuu policy.”

While it’s a shame that Lindsay’s big movie got downgraded to a mere TV/DVD release, at least we’ll get to see Lindsay in action in a new project. I am absolutely not expecting to be blown away by this new flick but I am hoping that it erases all memory of her horrid movie I Know Who Killed Me (the last movie she made that I paid money to see). Will this be a hit a la Mean Girls (which is entirely possible) or a stinker (which is prolly more likely) … I guess we’ll find out come July 19.

Fans waiting to see Lindsay Lohan’s latest movie won’t have to leave their living rooms. Lindsay’s new film, “Labor Pains,” will not be released in theaters, Access Hollywood has learned. Instead, the comedy will premiere on ABC Family, a source for the film’s production company, Nu Image/Millennium Films, confirmed to Access. The movie will debut on the cable channel in July 2009, with a DVD release coming in August. In the film, which wrapped production in August 2008, Lindsay plays a woman who fakes being pregnant to save herself from being fired and is then forced to keep the lie going for nine months. However, the source did say the movie would hit theaters internationally. No release date was available. Lindsay was last seen on the big screen in “Chapter 27,” opposite Jared Leto. Her other recent film credits include “Georgia Rule,” “I Know Who Killed Me” and “A Prairie Home Companion.” She has reportedly lined up a new as-of-yet untitled romantic comedy, alongside Nick Cannon about a girl trying to make it in New York’s fashion world who gets set up on a date with a guy who is blind.

HMMM … it never bodes well when a production company decides to cut its losses and scrap plans of a theatrical release for a cable/DVD release … do you suppose the change has anything to do with the quality of the film? Nah, can’t be. I gotta say, tho, that the concept of her movie with Nick Cannon (where Lindsay’s character goes on an actual blind date) sounds pretty terrible, too. Might that one be headed for the USA network? Only time will tell, only time will tell.

Dang, Lindsay’s got a great bod. A few summers ago, Lindsay was rail thin with bones protuding from every part of her body (you may recall that she had been spending a lot of time with her then joined-at-the-hip BFF Nicole Richie who was also rail thin — I had dubbed them The Skeletwins^TM) but these days she’s lookin’ healthy and happy … and hot, literally. It can’t be easy filming scenes like this for a movie when the temperature soars into the high 90’s (like it did yesterday). It looks like Linds is hanging in there like a champ. I like the healthy new Lindsay, workin’ hard when it’d be easier to just bail and skip out on responsibilities (like she did last summer while working on Georgia Rule). I hope all this hard work does pay off for her in the long run. The positive reinforcement would do wonders for her continuing health and happiness.

Heh … looks cute. I’m really hoping that this new movie is a return to Lindsay’s comedic form (a la Mean Girls) and doesn’t turn out to be another lemon (like pretty much every movie she’s made since Mean Girls). I have faith that Linds has more hits up her sleeve … I just want her to start unleashing them before folks stop caring.

HMMM … is this a new love interest? An old love interest? A dude she met randomly on the street on her way to Starbucks?

Actually, Lindsay was snapped smoochin’ with the co-star in her new movie Labor Pains. Filming for this new movie has been all over the valley this week … they started out in Glendale and then made their way to Sherman Oaks and again moved on to Encino. While Linds raised eyebrows and set tongues wagging the last time she was snapped kissing someone this time around she’s just workin’ … like a good girl should. [Photo credit: INFdaily]
