Lindsay Lohan is Marilyn Monroe

Lindsay Lohan recreates original tabloid queen Marilyn Monroe’s for the new issue of New York magazine. Based on the “Last Sitting”, Lindsay has been photographed by Bert Stern, the same photographer who snapped the original set more than 40 years ago. Though Lohan’s willingness to reprise the photos might seem a sly nod to her scandalous past, the actress offered a straightforward explanation. “I didn’t have to put much thought into it. I mean, Bert Stern? Doing a Marilyn shoot? When is that ever going to come up? It’s really an honor.” No stranger to scandal herself, the thrice-rehabbed Lohan calls Monroe’s suicide “tragic” and remarks to the mag, “You know, it’s also tragic what just recently happened to someone else.” When asked if she’s referring to Heath Ledger she says, “They are both prime examples of what this industry can do to someone.” She is adamant, however, that she will not meet a similar fate, saying, “…I sure as hell wouldn’t let it happen to me.”
