Lohan
Lindsay Lohan has asked to remain in the indie project "Poor Things" despite having entered rehab.
"Poor Things" producers Shirley MacLaine and Rob Hickman are revamping the shooting schedule to accommodate the thesp's wishes.
"In the spirit of helping Lindsay Lohan and her rehabilitation, we have been asked by Lindsay to comply with her wishes to continue working on 'Poor Things'," MacLaine and Hickman said in a statement Thursday. "We are trying to rearrange the shooting schedule to facilitate her working at the end of the shoot to coincide with the completion of her rehabilitation. We wish her love and the blending of mind, body and spirit."
Lohan was arrested in Beverly Hills on suspicion of driving under the influence Saturday after her convertible struck a curb, and investigators found what they believe is cocaine at the scene, police said.
Lohan, Rosario Dawson and Channing Tatum recently joined the cast of "Poor Things," a dark comedy starring MacLaine and Olympia Dukakis as a pair of con artists and directed by Ash Baron Cohen.
