Hard to believe Lindsay Lohan was only paid $100 dollars a day to film The Canyons!

In a New York Times interview with the movie's director Paul Schrader, he reveals that Lohan was paid "$100 a day and an equal share of the profits, but no vote in decision-making', with the sex scenes described as 'non-negotiable'."

In the interview with NY Times writer Stephen Rodrick, the director admits that the 26-year-old starlet was terrified with the racy scenes in the movie which included a four-way sex scene. To make her more comfortable, the 65-year-old director says he took off all his clothes.

Rodrick, who was granted access to the set to watch the filming, recalls:

"Lohan dropped her robe. Schrader shouted action, and they filmed the scene in one 14-minute take. About halfway through, Lohan looked directly into the camera and flashed a dirty, demented smile at Schrader."

Before filming on The Canyons even began, the director admits that Lilo was fired then rehired. Rodrick references the moment Schrader threatened to fire Lindsay.

"Lindsay said she couldn’t make it today, and I told her that was fine, but I have an actress in Paris waiting by the phone."

The NY Times story goes on to say that "Lohan panicked, and showed up at Schrader's Los Angeles hotel, pounding on the door to his room, sobbing and begging him to take her back for 90 minutes in the hallway."

The movie had a budget of $250,000.

Matthew McConaughey still looks super thin, but at least he's put on some weight!

McConaughey was nominated in the Best Supporting Actor category at the Critics' Choice Awards, and threw on a tux for the ceremony. Too bad he lost the award to Philip Seymour Hoffman.

The 43-year-old actor dropped more than 40lbs for his recent role in Dallas Buyers Club to play HIV victim Ron Woodroof.

Sounds like the daddy of three will be scoring nods for this juicy role.

Ben Affleck won big at the 18th Annual Critics' Choice Movie Awards ... scoring Best Director for Argo. Argo also won Best Picture.

Good news for the father of three who wasn't nominated in the director category for the 85th Annual Academy Awards.

The 40-year-old was announced as the winner by presenter and actor Ray Liotta. Affleck told the crowd:

"Thank you very much. I would like to thank the Academy . . . I'm kidding, I'm kidding! This is the one that counts. I do want to thank the Broadcast Film Critics Association. It actually is very, very cool for me. There was a time where the Ben Affleck Critics' Award was a Saturday Night Live sketch, so this is a very, very cool and exciting thing, particularly to me, because there are so many unbelievable directors in this category who I can only look up to, and so many who didn't get nominated, and I'm really humbled by that."

Affeck won the award over fellow directors Kathryn Bigelow, Tom Hooper, Ang Lee, David O. Russell and Steven Spielberg.
