Lohan to star in pregnancy flick

08 May 2008

Lindsay Lohan has been named as the star of a new film about a fake pregnancy.

The troubled movie star will appear in the new comedy Labour Pains from producer Rick Schwartz, behind such hits as The Aviator and The Departed.

Lohan's character in the movie reportedly pretends to be pregnant in order to avoid getting fired from her job.

A source told the New York Post: "When she's (Lohan's character) treated better by everyone in her life, she tries to keep up the lie for nine months."

Lindsay is currently filming a guest role in hit television series Ugly Betty as a bitchy former classmate of Betty's.

The 21-year-old actress is joining the series for a total of six episodes, in an attempt to reignite her career following a turbulent few years.

Dina Lohan, 45, Lindsay's mother has won the Long Island Top Mom award, despite her daughter's very public battles with drink and drugs.
