Gossip columnist mocks La Lohan
Lohan stripped down and glammed up to play Monroe in a re-creation of the blond starlet’s iconic photo shoot “The Last Sitting,” which was taken weeks before her death in 1962. Stern, the lens man behind the original shoot, photographed the new pictorial for New York magazine. Lohan told the mag, “I didn’t have to put much thought into it. I mean, Bert Stern? Doing a Marilyn shoot? When is that ever going to come up? It’s really an honor.”
“A blonde actress’ love of Marilyn has got to be the biggest Hollywood cliché since cute reaction shots of dogs,” Musto writes in his essay for the Village Voice. “They go for the obvious — and for the obvious reason: Marilyn was sex on a stick and knew how to promote that to sell product.”
Starlet Lindsay Lohan said she couldn’t pass up an opportunity to recreate sex symbol Marilyn Monroe’s famed ” The Last Sitting” with photographer Bert Stern. Well, Village Voice gossip columnist Michael Musto couldn’t pass up the opportunity either, posing for the New York weekly paper for “Musto as Lindsay as Marilyn,” snapped this time by lensman Howard Huang.
Musto takes on not only Lohan, but a slew of Hollywood starlets in an essay featured alongside the photo shoot. Alluding to not only Monroe’s fate, but that of a recent deceased movie star, Musto begins the essay, “Heath Ledger died in the nude, but most of today’s young female stars live in the nude albeit while teetering on the precipice of oblivion and trying to join him there.”
