It's nice to see that despite her recent troubles, Lindsay Lohan has managed to retain her sense of humour as well as some gainful employment.
The 24-year-old star is appearing in Underground Comedy 2010, in a spoof role as Marilyn Monroe.
Dressed in a gown similar to the Hollywood starlet's trademark white frock, Lohan recreates Monroe's famous pose over a breezy subway grate and battles to keep her skirt from flying up.
n the next scene Lindsay is seen getting her revenge on the paparazzi by pulling out two handguns and shooting at them.
But Lindsay does make manage to make light of her current predicament.
In one lighthearted moment, one of the characters tells her, “You look like Marilyn Monroe,” to which Lindsay replies, "“Marilyn never had to wear a SCRAM bracelet!”
The movie was shot only weeks before Lindsay was sent to jail for violating her probation and co-stars Vince Shlomi, better known in the US as 'the ShamWow guy', and famous for his television adverts selling absorpant towels.
The pair are said to have met in Cannes in May, when Lindsay famously missed a court appearance, according to TMZ. The alcohol-monitoring SCRAM bracelet Lindsay was court-ordered to wear on May 24 is clearly visible around her left ankle, which tarnishes the glamour of the shots.
The rest of the movie includes comedy sketches starring Pineapple Express's Bobby Lee and The Green Mile's Michael Clarke Duncan.
Vince Shlomi, 46, has had his own run-ins with the law.
In February 2009 he was arrested for felony battery after an altercation with a prostitute in Miami Beach, Florida.
Police later declined to file charges against him.After being released from jail, Lohan will check into Morningside Recovery in Newport Beach, California, to complete the rehabilitation portion of her sentence.
But in the meantime, her ex-girlfriend Samantha Ronson has shown she really does still care for Lindsay Lohan with a third visit to see the star in jail in just over a week.

Lindsay Lohan will check into a rehabilitation centre by a sun-kissed California beach once she completes her jail sentence for probation violation, according to an online report.
The Mean Girls star is currently serving part of a 90-day term at the Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood, California after breaking her parole terms relating to a 2007 DUI arrest.
She is expected to walk free from her jail cell as early as Sunday but must report to rehab within 24 hours of her release, as ordered by the judge, to seek treatment for an alleged prescription drug addiction.
The location of Lohan's rehab centre had not been disclosed until now - and TMZ.com reports the troubled star will be able to battle her personal demons while sunning herself in Newport Beach, at a facility which specializes in alcohol and opiate detox.

Everybody is probably interested how 24-year-old Lindsay Lohan has been spending her time behind bars. One thing is definitely clear that her life in jail can’t be called glamorous.
When the star entered Century Regional Detention Facility located in Californian Lynwood at about 10 a.m., first of all, she went through a thorough strip search, was given sheets and towels together with an orange jumpsuit and was directed to her single cell. An hour later she was permitted to make a phone call from the recreation room which lasted an hour. PEOPLE learnt from a source inside the jail, that the star left the recreation room in tears. Her lunch consisted of orange juice, packets of mustard and mayo, bologna sandwich and bag of Fritos. The star’s dinner comprised two slices of bread, cabbage, milk, cheese, broccoli, and Mac.
On the following day, the star was allowed to take a shower after she was given a “fish kit.” Her sister Ali, mom Dina and business manager paid 30-minute visit a bit later.
Samantha Ronson visited poor Lindsay Lohan on the next day in the afternoon.
On Friday Lohan was given a new jumpsuit, bedding, and a set of shoes. After that her personal doctor visited her.
We see that the star is doing her best to adjust to new conditions.

Lindsay Lohan has found some ways to bide her time while serving her jail sentence at the Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood, California. And she's even found a snack that's helping her cope with her time in jail.
"She's good," her attorney, Shawn Chapman Holley, told People.com after she visited Lohan in jail on Wednesday. "She's eating some Twizzlers."
With her time in jail almost over, Lohan will likely be released Sunday or Monday, only serving part of her 90-day sentence before heading off to court-appointed rehab for another 90 days. Holley said that Lohan has been using the time to explore her artistic side.
"She looks gorgeous. ... She's writing a lot. She's creating art," Holley said. "She's a beautiful, talented, creative woman, and she's going to come out and surprise you all!"
Holley's comments mirrors a report last week noting that Lohan was working on music while behind bars. "Lindsay is going to spend her time in jail writing new songs that she will record the second she gets out," a source said. "Her emotions are so raw at the moment the material will be her best ever. It will definitely get nominated for a Grammy."
A number of celebrities have come out to support Lohan since her incarceration, including "Hills" star Stephanie Pratt and rapper Foxy Brown.
"My heart goes out to Lindsay Lohan. I watched her being taken to jail and it brought back tears and memories. It wasn't all negative, I have to say that," Brown told MTV News earlier this week. "People just automatically think that prison stereotypically is the worst place. I was unlawfully sent to prison for a year, but I kind of welcomed the serenity when I was sentenced and I knew I had to deal with this."

Hollywood star Lindsay Lohan sparked a near riot overnight in jail as unrest grew over what inmates claim is preferential treatment.
They furiously chanted threats and hammered on their cell walls, while others refused to leave their cells for recreation or meals.
A source at Lynwood Prison, Los Angeles, said: “Wardens are being easy on Lindsay. She has her own cell and doesn’t have to mix with other inmates.
“She is crying and talking to wardens and keeping others awake. Her preferential treatment is causing a lot of resentment.” Lohan, 24, is said to be shunning carbohydrates but has made demands for Ben and Jerry’s ice cream.
The actress was sentenced to 90 days for breaking probation terms following two drink-driving offences.
But she could serve just 14 days and be out by Sunday before mandatory rehab.

This is a sketch of how Lindsay looks in jail (Maybe not how exactly but just to give us the rough idea.) What do you think? Leave comments.
Can't tell which fashion violation Lindsay Lohan finds more humiliating: The orange jail jumpsuit she's wearing or the one-size-fits-all "granny panties" that a source says she has to knot at the sides to keep from falling down.
In Touch weekly has even more details on Lindsay's current stint inside the Lynwood jail in Los Angeles, where she's cooling her jets until at least next week for violating her probation on a drunk driving charge.
"She’s been crying all day long and is a total mess," the mag's source says. "She’s now in a catatonic, out-of-it calm."
Sleep is hard to come by because it's so cold in the jail, the source says. But at least Lindsay reportedly got a real bed, unlike the other inmates who sleep on jail-thin mattresses.
The preferential treatment doesn't stop there, the source says. Lindsay has her own TV, special phone privileges and special food.
Jailhouse officials set the record straight on one rumor: Unlike most other inmates, Lindsay got to keep her hair extensions only because they were too hard to remove because they were sewn so close to her scalp.
Apparently gang leaders in the jail are none too happy about the special treatment.
"Lots of girls in here would love to clock her, just to be known as ‘the girl who decked Lindsay,'" says the insider. “She’d better watch herself.”

Lindsay Lohan's prison days are numbered, which means LiLo watchers are already predicting her first post-pokey moves.
Rehab will definitely be one of her first stops once she's released, as People confirms Lohan has been ordered to report to an L.A. rehab centre within 24 hours of her release. And as her lawyer, Shawn Chapman Holley, told the mag, "There's a push now for her to go directly to rehab from jail."
But she might as well make that trip to rehab as fabulous and loaded with image-rebranding stunts as possible.
Whenever Lohan does exit her cozy current digs in Lynwood, Calif., cameras will be watching. And where there are cameras, there should be a "glam squad."
Popeater reports that Lohan has already picked out what she'll be wearing when she exits prison: It will be something from her leggings line (because we haven't been reminded enough that she's the face of a burgeoning Lycra empire). And the outlet speculates that Lohan will be choreographing her exit — a la Paris Hilton's penitent walk of shame a few years back — for maximum public sympathy.
Should she want to bring in anyone to fuss over her hair and makeup (we're guessing prison-issue toiletries don't stack up to whatever fancy swag she usually applies to her mug), Popeater reports there will be a small facility available near the processing area.
"There is a small, dirty public bathroom in the reception area that she will be allowed to use briefly before she leaves," a source told the outlet. "She will not be allowed to plug in a hair dryer and get a blow-out and she can forget about using a flattening iron. There will be no full-length mirror and only if the corrections officers decide to be nice will they close the area to the public."

While Lindsay Lohan is busy serving her sentence behind bars, her handlers are desperately trying to find the right rehabilitation facility for her. And according to sources close to the troubled actress, that could mean an "alternative" approach that focuses on diet and exercise as a means to recover.
According to TMZ, Lohan will attend rehab in California so that she can be closely guarded by her personal posse. While she is expected to be released from prison as early as this week, it is almost a certainty that the 24-year-old won’t have the “luxury” of an early release from rehab.
“In Lindsay’s case, a 30-day program just isn’t enough for her,” Brenner added. “The Judge knows that, and won’t be letting her off a day early.”
SLIDESHOW: The Wild and Crazy Life of Lindsay Lohan
But while the judge is holding firm to Lohan’s rehab sentencing, we’re told that the Lohan camp has been looking into placing her at California’s Malibu Beach Recovery Center, which offers a somewhat different approach to recovery than the typical rehabilitation facility.
“It’s based on holistic types of treatment – things like yoga, meditation and focus on a healthy, nutritious diet,” Los Angeles-based chemical addiction specialist Marty Brenner told us. “It isn’t a 12-step program, but it is a place that will probably be very good for Lindsay. Right now, any place that’s going to help her detox and get off the prescription medications will be good for her.”
According to Malibu Beach Recovery Center’s website, Lohan’s treatment will include a special diet “based on the finest traditions of French cuisine” that will prohibit all caffeine, white rice, white bread, sugar and potatoes. In addition, she will take a series of “bio-active supplements” to compliment the program’s daily exercise regimen.
And despite rampant reports to the contrary, Lohan isn’t as devastated or emotionally uncontrollable as she has been portrayed.
"Lindsay is doing okay, of course it's not great, but she's okay," a source close to the starlet told Pop Tarts. "She's getting by the best she can and is coping surprisingly well. This is all a step in the right direction.”
Lohan’s legal representative did not respond for comment.

LINDSAY LOHAN's father has reached out to stars including ROBERT DOWNEY, JR. and MARK WAHLBERG asking them to step in and help his troubled daughter.
The Mean Girls actress is currently behind bars at the Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood, California, where she is serving part of a 90-day jail sentence for violating her probation relating to a 2007 DUI arrest.
Lohan is expected to be released next week (beg02Aug10) and she will go straight to court-ordered rehab.
The actress' father Michael fears prison will have a negative effect on his daughter, who he claims is suffering from a prescription drug addiction, and he's asking both Downey, Jr and Wahlberg, who have both spent time behind bars, to help.
He tells Tennessee radio station 107.5 The River, "My people are reaching out to Robert Downey, Jr. and to Mark Wahlberg. I know both of them, and Mark is a tremendous human being. Hopefully, they'll see her before she gets out and she'll get in this rehab and get off these prescription meds, and she'll get her life back."
The Iron Man star was jailed on numerous occasions as he battled a raging drug habit between 1996 and 2001. He also spent time in court-ordered rehab before finally kicking his addictions and reviving his career, while Wahlberg battled drug addiction as a teenager and spent 45 days in prison after he was convicted of assault.

Who needs a legal team when you've got a tanning salon behind you?
Not sure if it's the support Lindsay Lohan is looking for, but New York's Beach Bum tanning salon held a "Free Lindsay" rally earlier today outside their Seventh Avenue outpost. A gaggle of professional bronzers (mostly young women dressed in belly-baring shirts and Daisy Dukes) held homemade signs reading "Liberate Lohan" and "We Miss You."
Beach Bum owner James Oliver, who held a similar protest when Paris Hilton was thrown in jail, says the Lohan clan has been getting orange tanning at the salon for over a decade.
No word yet if a similar rally will be held by LiLo's own tanning line, Sevin Nyne.
As struggling star Lindsay Lohan passed her presumed halfway point in jail, the mother of another once-incarcerated party girl stepped forward to commiserate with LiLo’s mom.
“I have sympathy for Dina Lohan right now,” Kathy Hilton explained to RadarOnline. “In fact, I feel bad for any parent whose child is in jail, it can be really tough.”
Kathy Hilton’s “really tough” time came in May 2007, when daughter Paris was sentenced to 45 days in jail after violating the terms of her reckless driving probation. Although Paris’ punishment included less jail time than Lindsay’s 90-day sentence, the heiress was required to serve 23 days. Lindsay’s expected to remain behind bars for about two weeks before moving on to court-ordered rehab.
“Those days when Paris was in jail were some of the most difficult of my life — it is hard for any parent to deal with,” the senior Hilton explained. “Unfortunately, if you do not follow the rules then this is what can happen — it’s part of the rules of our society.”
The Hilton matriarch assured Dina Lohan that Lindsay’s time in the slammer might prove worthwhile, as she believes the 24-year-old could learn a lot from her experience in a “small cage” at Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood, Calif.
Gosselin isn’t invited to ‘Dancing’ dinner
A privately planned dinner reunion for the cast of “Dancing With the Stars’” 10th season will be one person short. According to PopEater, reality TV mom Kate Gosselin won’t make it to the meal because the out-of-touch star simply isn’t invited.
“Her invite must have gotten lost in the mail,” an unnamed “Dancing With the Stars” insider joked. “Of course she was not invited! We all became close during and after the show except Kate, who hasn't returned anyone's calls or e-mails. You know it's bad when even creepy ‘Bachelor’ Jake Pavelka gets invited but she
R&B star Ne-Yo believes Lindsay Lohan's jail ordeal is a wake-up call to celebrities who think they can ride above the law.
The singer knows of several stars who have been given preferential treatment by police over traffic offences, himself included.
But he says Lohan's recent imprisonment proves that those in the public eye can no longer have it their own way.
"I definitely feel there's an unfair advantage given to celebrities, but it's been that way since the beginning of time," Ne-Yo told AAP in Sydney.
"There have been a couple of situations where I've been pulled over and the cop has recognised me and gone: 'You know what, go ahead'.
"That's why some judicial systems choose to make examples of us, because celebrities if not checked will start feeling like they're above the law.
"This thing with Lindsay Lohan is like a wake-up call to celebrities."
Ne-Yo received his own wake-up call when he was arrested for reckless driving in 2008.
He was ordered to serve community service after admitting to the charge.
"You may be famous, but you're a citizen of the world first and there are rules and laws you're expected to abide by," he said.
"If you don't then there are consequences."
Lohan was jailed for 90 days earlier this month for violating the parole terms of a 2007 drink-driving conviction.
The pair worked together on her 2008 single Bossy and Ne-Yo think the 24-year-old actress should still count herself lucky.
"She's still not getting the term she should get so there's still an element of getting off lightly," he said.
"I can imagine female artists get away with even more."
Ne-Yo is in Australia to play the upcoming Winterbeatz festivals in Sydney, Melbourne and Perth.
