Lydia to play Lindsay Lohan

Model Lydia Hearst Shaw will play Lindsay Lohan in a comic film,

Dogs in Pocketbooks

, based on the troubled starlet.

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

New York Post

quoted screenwriter Charles Casillo as saying.

“Lydia is perfect. She’s one of the few supermodels who can actually act,” he added.
