Lydia Hearst On Playing Lindsay Lohan-Like Movie Role: "Not Officially Signed On"

We have to admit we're a bit disappointed with Lydia Hearst's twitter claiming she has NOT signed on to play a Lindsay Lohan-like character in the upcoming film Dogs In Pocketbooks based on the troubled starlet's life. Is it because the Lohan family is threatening to sue over the film, or has she simply lost interest in the role?

Either way we're pretty sure there's a string of anxious actresses ready to dye their hair red, paint their bodies orange, and booze it up on camera. Talk about a fun acting job, who wouldn't want to play Miss Lohan? There’s never a dull moment with that life story.

When it was announced this week the famous Heiresses-turned-model was taking the leap into acting and had accepted the role, screenwriter Charles Casillo revealed:

"Lydia will play a bratty movie goddess in and out of rehab, in trouble with the law, and hounded by greedy agents, predatory paparazzi, stalkers and crazed media - a role obviously based on Lindsay."

It really sounded like the whole thing was a done deal, until Hearst tweeted this statement:

"Just so we are all clear.. My hair is Red because I am the new face of Schwarzkopf color. I am a model. I dyed my hair to front the campaign. As for any theatrical roles I am currently filming Two Jacks directed by Bernard Rose. My next project is Catwalk by Tony Hickox...Thank you all for your messages of encouragement during my transition into acting. I truly love and appreciate it. At this time I am ... Not officially signed onto any other projects. Thank you."

Hmm. We're not taking this as a "no" just yet. She could still sign on before the movie starts shooting in Los Angeles/New York in February.

No matter who ends up playing La Lohan, it’s going to be one heck of a film!
