Behind The Lindsanity

Filed under: Lindsay Lohan

Earlier today we showed you Linday Lohan's latest acting gig - playing herself in a new Funny or Die video.

Now, the FoD video director, Eric Appel, is speaking out about Lindsanity and her clip, praising the trainwreck nonstop. He says Lindsay "wanted to do a Funny or Die video with all the stuff that everyone's saying. She wanted to respond to it in a funny way, show that she gets it."

And according to the people at FoD, it was La Loca Lohan who reached out to them last Wednesday about shooting a spoof.

She probably only agreed to do it if they said it was her idea!

Then, by Thursday, they were going over ideas, had a script the next day, and by Saturday she filmed the less than 2 minute clip in just under two hours after arriving 5 hours late. Appel addis, "She came up with the stuff about being a threat to all security guards — she improvised while doing it. She threw in a bunch of fun, funny stuff."

That's the secret. When you forget your lines, just improvise! We're guessing she improvised almost all of it?

Appel continued, "She came in, did her thing, was really professional. People forget Lindsay Lohan's, like, a good actress. There's so much attention [to everything she does], but…you forget this girl has really good comic timing."

Seriously, who are you trying to kid?

      Seriously this is so stupid! How can you guys say this is funny? "she is embracing the negativity with a sense of humor." HELLO ALL THE NEGATIVE THINGS IN THE MEDIA ABOUT HER ARE TRUE!!! You don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure that one out.

      Stop hating her. It's actually funny, she does get it. Shes not going to "pull out the pink wig", shes smarter than you give her credit for…This is probably the best thing she could've done in her situation and I give the girl props.

      her voice!!! see what happen's when you chain smoke, people? Lilo, please keep the lindsanity going. I lovers it but i can do without your phlegm-y voice BB.



    12. 112

      Re: goodtasteishardtofind – her voice wasn't always like that. her voice is NOT sexy , it's a classic chain smoker's voice. yuck!



    13. 113

      how about you lay off her already. she was funny. ppl like perez only give her a bad rep.



    14. 114

      well that's the saddest part is that she actually IS a good actress. She's messed her personal life up so badly that no matter how much talent she has, the public will not be able to look at her without seeing the tabloid stuff. Too bad.



    15. 115

      Why do you hate Lindsey so much? She is just a troubled girl trying to do her best. You cannot say a nice word about her. She is trying really hard to forward her career and be taken seriously, but you and other celebrity stalkers mock and insult her constantly. This wasn't even done in good fun the way some of your other things are written. It is cruel and unnecessary. This is taking it too far. I can't wait for Lindsey to prove you wrong and make a comeback.



    16. 116

      her heavy smoker's voice is so not sexy. Just call her Empha ZIma.



    17. 117

      Perez you can hate on Lohan all you want. But the girl can act. This spoof proves it….she's talented. Now stop stomping people who have already fallen to the ground. Karma is a b…itch and she's waiting right around the corner for you sweetie. Enjoy your time in the limelight….eventually we all grow tired of the same..including your blog.



    18. 118

      perez your taking the piss by saying she improvised most of the lines but considering the vids really funny the jokes on you LMAO! :D

      lindsay is hot and she rocks and FYI this vid is way better than that song you did about your maggot dick! (which you probably havnt seen for years anyway :P )



    19. 119

      Hahhah thats funny, everyone else tries to cover it up, at least she admits it and embraces it hhahhaha I like it



    20. 120

      Wasn't funny. And it sounded more like an autobiography. Will somebody PLEASE take the girl to rehab so she can get some solid work?

      I'll show sympathy and support when she goes and seeks the help she truly needs.



    21. 121

      LOVE LOVE LOOVEEE IT!
