Lindsay Lohan's Liz & Dick Biopic Gets Scathing Reviews
Lindsay Lohan's Elizabeth Taylor inspired flick Liz & Dick premieres tonight on Lifetime, but critics have already weighed in on the biopic with some harsh words for the film and Lindsay's performance as well.
The movie, which tells the tale of Taylor's relationship with Richard Burton, was widely seen as a vehicle for Lindsay's comeback by drawing comparisons between her and the late actress, a feat that appears to have fallen short of expectations.
L.A. Times film critic Mary McNamara weighed in with her thoughts on Lindsay's performance in the film when she stated:
- "Lohan is certainly lovely, but she has never really played a full-grown woman on film and they don't come any more full-grown than Taylor. It would be tough for many contemporary actresses to pull off that mink hat, but even in the trademark slip, Lohan too often seems like a teenager playing dress up."
McNamara also likened the sexual chemistry between Lindsay and co-star Grant Bowler to that of Kermit and Miss Piggy minus the tenderness, but the most scathing comments came from The Hollywood Reporter’s Tim Goodman, who didn't hold back with his harsh criticism.
- "Lohan is woeful as Taylor from start to finish. But, whatever you do, don’t miss Liz & Dick. It’s an instant classic of unintentional hilarity. Drinking games were made for movies like this. And the best part is that it gets worse as it goes on, so in the right company with the right beverages, Liz & Dick could be unbearably hilarious toward the tail end of the 90-minute running time."
"For a short film on two long lives, Liz & Dick truly drags," Goodman adds. "Luckily, you can’t take your eyes off of Lohan playing Taylor, which the producers clearly thought would work because they share similar backstories. Except for the part about Taylor being a gigantic movie star and Lohan not being one."
HALLE BERRY Will Rush to Court for Restraining Order
Halle Berry is taking no chances ... she's going to court early this week for a restraining order against Gabriel Aubry after the blowout fight Thanksgiving day ... TMZ has learned.
Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ Halle and her lawyers are alarmed that Gabriel allegedly started the fight with Olivier Martinez right in front of 4-year-old Nahla. Although a judge issued an emergency order of protection -- requiring Gabriel to stay 100 yards away from Halle, Nahla and Olivier -- that order expires Tuesday.
We're told Halle's lawyers will be in family court asking a judge to extend that protection for an indefinite period of time.
TMZ broke the story ... the bloody fight landed both Gabriel and Olivier in the same hospital ER. Gabriel was arrested and could be charged with criminal battery.
Sources tell us ... Halle's argument is pretty simple -- if Gabriel can't control himself enough to protect Nahla from emotional trauma, it's too risky for him to be around the child, Halle, or her fiance ... with whom he clearly has beef.

Controversies Trail Chika Ike's Age As She Celebrates 27th Birthday At Enugu Trade Fair
Before now, there have been doubts on the real age of Nollywood actress, Chika Ike. To some, the light-skinned make-believe babe is over well 30 while some others see her just around age 30. On November 8, 2012, Chika Ike celebrated her 27th birthday in Enugu in funfare.
Days after her birthday, there have been controversies over the real age of Chika. While some have sworn that Chika is well over 30, others believe that the former heartthrob of a Delta State politician is truly the age she just celebrated few weeks ago, 27.
From her outlook, Chika seems to be over 27 to many, but the Anambra State-born actress is telling those who care to know that she is 27.
Meanwhile, the UN ambassador celebrated her birthday with some of her fans at the just concluded Enugu trade fair where she gave her numerous fans the opportunity to buy from her Fancy Nancy stores with discounts on goods bought.

Duchess Kate Middleton returned clothes sent to her by Kim Kardashian
The British royal is known for championing high street as well as designer fashion, but didn't accept a package sent by the reality TV star and her sisters Khloe and Kourtney from their new Dorothy Perkins range.
A source told The Examiner magazine: "Kate is hardly going to turn up for an event with the queen in a cheap leopard-print miniskirt or gold sequined jacket."
Kim was also said to be keen to meet with Catherine - known as Kate Middleton before marrying Prince William - while she was recently in London, inviting her for tea.
A source said: "The Kardashians want to be as big in the UK as they are in America, and think associating themselves with the Royals, especially Kate, will help them achieve that.
"She hoped Kate might be seen wearing one of the designs out in public, which would give their fashion credentials a huge boost."
