Rosie O’Donnell Slams Lindsay Lohan as “Not Capable” to Play Elizabeth Taylor

Truth rating: 10

VIDEO

(NBC)

Rosie O’Donnell is not down with Lindsay Lohan’s casting as Elizabeth Taylor in the upcoming Lifetime biopic.

O’Donnell, who appeared as a panelist on the “Today” show on Tuesday, slammed the actress, saying, “She’s had a lot of trouble doing every single movie, including ‘SNL.’ She was out and not in rehearsal. I think she’s not in a place to work.”

“I feel sorry for her. I think she needs a lot of time away,” offered O’Donnell.

Fellow panelist Donny Deutsch countered, “She’s our generation’s Elizabeth Taylor!”

O’Donnell retorted, “You’re out of your mind! You’re a crackhead! The last thing she did good she was sixteen.”

The former talk show host added, “I don’t think she’s right for the role, and I don’t think she’s capable at this point to portray that character.”

In response, Lohan’s rep shot back, “I think Rosie should focus on her own career and stop worrying about everyone else’s.”

On Monday, Lohan officially announced she’ll be starring in Liz & Dick, which will focus on Taylor’s tempestuous relationship with actor and two-time husband Richard Burton.

Check out the video below!

Do you agree with O’Donnell? Or do you think Lohan is ready to act again?

    I don’t know anything about Lindsey Lohan but I know that when Rosie opens her big fat obnoxious trap that frogs come out like a plague. Rosie needs to climb back into her cave an hibernate for another decade.

    It is an insult to Elizabeth Taylor to have Lohan play her. The casting agent should be fired.

    I Actually agree with Rosie on this one Lilo being cast to play Elizabeth Taylor is a crime against Cinema History

  • Regina1180

    In al fairness, it’s for a Lifetime movie. They aren’t known to be masterpieces.

    You guys don’t seem to understand, Taylor was a child actress who had her problems too… multiple marriages, drinking, all sorts of problems… The only difference is back then the media didn’t chase around actresses waiting for them to screw up and arresting a celebrity was really really unheard of, especially actresses…. If the Taylor of then was in society now… she would be best friends with Lohan and they would both be getting into trouble…

    You guys just do the classic “Remember Taylor from the last 20 career of her life instead of the first 20″

    Why don’t we wait for the movie to premiere then make judgments. They obviously thought something if they cast her in it. I’m not gonna judge her because this may be the project she needed to prove she’s changed.

    I don’t agree with Rosie saying the last thing Lindsay did well, she was sixteen. It was true until she hosted SNL which was critically well received. For all the problems Lindsay has, she is a talented actress. As far as what place Lindsay is in right now, I don’t know her so I don’t know, but I’ve never heard about Rosie and Lindsay hanging out either so I suspect Rosie doesn’t know either. What I do know is Lindsay finished her probation early and the judge commended her on making real strides in turning her life around. This is Lifetime, a lower rated cable station for goodness sake. Normally the best thing that channel can get in terms of name actresses is a b-list actress for their movies, and rarely someone with Lindsay’s name recognition. With Lindsay, they get high name recognition and talent to boot. It’s a good move for Lindsay to do the movie as well to begin rebuilding her reputation so she can get insured for higher budget movies. Seems like a win for everyone, don’t really get why Rosie is attacking Lifetime for the casting decision.

    Another attempt by Rosie to remain relevant..Lindsay is actually the perfect casting for this role.She and Taylor have a very parallel career and life arch to this point. It was only in the later years of Taylor’s life that she was able to somewhat find normalcy. Her early life was marked by tragedy and triumph, just as Lindsay’s has been. As for Rosie, her greatest achievement in acting was to play and very poorly at that, an undercover operative in “Exit to Eden”….so she probably should not be the one to critique Lindsay’s acting ability.

  • Mary Mary

    I agree with Rosie for once. I will not pay money to see Lilo in anything. I won’t pay for the gas to go if it were free. She needs no fame. She need rehab until it works.

    Rosie sounds very mean spirited. Wonder if it’s because she can’t seem to keep a job even when it is a gift. Jealousy makes people ugly.

    Poor ET, she is dead and left to this Lifetime crap. I think Donnie must be on the good shit to even compare Elizabeth to LL, wow, incredible.

    Technically it was Burton that persued Taylor and both of them were married when they met on the set of Cleopatra. as for the drug addiction Liz’s steamed from an on set accident at age 12 during the making of National Velvet and unlike LiLo she was nominated for 5 oscars winning 2

  • Danny

    These people are so stupid. She obviously couldn’t commit to a film project recently because of her problems so she took the time to put that first and finished her probation. The last film she starred in was Machete, which was an awesome movie! To say you haven’t seen enough of her as an actress or that her last good role was when she was sixteen is insane! The fact that she WAS a drug addict makes her even more fitting for the role since she can relate and put that into her character. I myself am very excited to watch this movie and for all her future projects aswell.

  • churchlady

    Rosie got it right! Liz was a class-act and one of the most beautiful women ever! Lindsey isn’t yet 30 and looks old. Megan Fox would be a better fit!

  • Kelly

    “Fellow panelist Donny Deutsch countered, “She’s our generation’s Elizabeth Taylor!””

    Well, there goes any credibility that guy may have had.

  • Msdannams

    although your remarks are extremely nasty and crude, i don’t like rosie much either; but lindsey lohan is ridiculous … just ridiculous why does anyone listen to her. anyone out there know that this only plays in los angeles area? the idea that she is somehow in aleague with taylor and burton is preposterous
