No one would dispute that an upcoming film starring heiress Lydia Hearst playing a wild young ne'er-do-well actress is about troubled starlet Lindsay Lohan. Even the film's writer says Hearst will play a "bratty movie goddess in and out of rehab and hounded by predatory paparazzi—a role obviously based on Lindsay Lohan." That's the problem, says Dina Lohan, who is planning to sue, reports TMZ. "They are using her likeness without her being compensated," she said. Besides, she adds: "Anyone bringing negativity will be dealt with accordingly." Now Hearst is apparently getting cold feet, tweeting that she hasn't yet officially signed on to the project.
