PopCrunch reports, “Lindsay Lohan is in chats to play a character loosely based on herself in a big screen romantic comedy currently in development.”

The item goes on to say, “Producers John Edmonds Kozma and Richard O’Sullivan are working on a new dating comedy called One Night With You and they hope to land Lohan as their star.”

So how is the part “loosely based” on Lohan?

The role, according to PopCrunch’s piece, is that “of a scandal-ridden former child star who goes to rehab and revamps her career by appearing on a reality dating show.”

We’re not exactly sure how “Lohan is in chats” to do this film, since Lohan herself told Gossip Cop exclusively that she has “not heard of such a thing.”

Whoops.

Gossip Cop was the first media outlet to confirm on August 18 that Celine Dion was pregnant at 41 with her second child. At the time, her Canadian rep told Gossip Cop Dion and her husband Rene Angelil were “very happy.” Unfortunately, Gossip Cop must now also confirm that that is no longer the case.

Her rep told Gossip Cop, “It is true that Celine is not pregnant.” The rep went on to explain, “The doctor at first thought [the in vitro embryo] took but it did not. So she waited some time and tried again with no success… They plan to try again.”

The couple has one son, Rene-Charles, born in 2001.

Once again, Michael Lohan has released to Radar a secretly recorded telephone conversation with ex-wife Dina Lohan, and again, quite understandably, it isn’t sitting well with his daughter.

Lindsay Lohan, who has every right to be angry with her dad for making seemingly private conversations public, exclusively told Gossip Cop: “My father knows nothing other than how to sell stories for money instead of getting a real job like normal people do, including myself.”

And since he’s allegedly being compensated, Lindsay said, “I sure hope he’s planning to pay child support,” which she claimed he’s never done “my entire life… [he] never has paid!”

(Gossip Cop tried to find out how much Michael Lohan was paid, but a call to Radar, which is owned by the same company as the National Enquirer and the Star, was not returned.)

Irrespective of his reasons for releasing these secretly recorded tapes, the effect is still the same. Lindsay told Gossip Cop, “I hate him so much.”

Since Gossip Cop has become the destination for accurate “Twilight” stories, a production source came directly to us with details of the stars’ drama.

There’s a reason you haven’t seen much of Robert Pattinson, other than on the set: “Twilight” filmmakers are trying to protect the handsome young star from the prying lenses of the paparazzi. “Every time anyone from the cast emerges from the hotel they’re swarmed by paparazzi,” says the inside source.

And Pattinson is the prime target.

“He’s a prisoner of the paparazzi,” the source tells Gossip Cop. “It’s a nightmare,” adds the source, explaining that Pattinson almost never leaves the hotel except to go to the set. And when he does, the crew has to go great lengths to find ways to transport him from one location to another undetected. Because of the paparazzi, the star has been unable to interact with his many fans.

Gossip Cop hopes the paparazzi will back off so Pattinson and the rest of the cast can concentrate on the film — and their adoring fans.
