Prisoners may be permitted to appear in Superman

Lindsay Lohan, who earlier today was charged with felony grand theft for allegedly stealing a necklace worth $2,500 from a jewelery store last month, is said to be in discussions for the [pause for dramatic effort] new “Superman” movie (remember, Warner Bros is an equally opportunity employer).

According to the snap-happy gang at TMZ, actress turned convict Lohan (“Machete”, “Freaky Friday”, Spew-by-the-Curb fame) will be catching up with those involved in the new Man of Steel movie to discuss the possibility of her signing on to play a “major character”.

Which character? TMZ doesn’t know, only that it’s one that will apparently showcase Lohan’s acting skills.

I’m smiling but will reserve further comment and leave it up to you guys to do so: Firstly, are you laughing or nodding your head in approval in regards to this item? Does anyone think Lohan’s publicist leaked this to get her client some rare good press? Or if you believe the news is true, who do you think Lohan is up for in the film? Post your thoughts in the comments box below.
