Lindsay Lohan has reportedly been fired for her latest film because she is not "bankable".

The troubled US actress was to play a student working on a deserted island in 'The Other Side', but sources close to the film told website TMZ she was let go from the project because her name isn't enough to guarantee box office success.

The film's writer and director, David Michaels, was diplomatic about Lindsay's departure, saying: "Our team simply chose to move on from Lindsay and we'll soon be announcing a replacement."

Other actors involved in the film include Woody Harrelson, Giovanni Ribisi and singer Alanis Morissette.

The lead role in which Lindsay was cast was also at one time associated with late actress Brittany Murphy, who tragically died of pneumonia last year aged 32.

Enjoying her time in New York City, Kelly Clarkson was spotted grabbing a quick salad at a Manhattan deli yesterday afternoon (October 5).

And it looks like the “American Idol” champ may have given her stylist the day off, as she looked a bit rough in a pair of hot pink shades with a red and black plaid shirt.

Tonight, Kelly will be taking the stage for a concert at the Hammerstein Ballroom with support acts Parachute and The Veronicas.

A few days ago, Kelly surprised a Connecticut crowd when she busted out her version of Alanis Morissette’s “That I Would Be Good” blended with Kings of Leon’s “Use Somebody.”

Ally Sheedy Mum On "Wartime" - Hot Fun With Alanis Morissette

Award-winning filmmaker-provocateur Todd Solondz has sworn the cast of his "Life During Wartime" film to secrecy -- to the point that the only thing Ally Sheedy will say about it is that she'll be on hand for the feature's debut next month at the Toronto Film Festival.

"Todd does not want me to talk about that movie," says Ally, but she does allow that it's bound to be talked about. "Life During Wartime" has been described as a dark comedy of sexual obsession. Solondz has said it's a companion piece to his controversial "Happiness" and "Welcome to the Dollhouse."
The movie is the latest venture into the avant-garde for Sheedy, who rose to fame in such '80s fare as "The Breakfast Club" and "St. Elmo's Fire." Her career took a bold turn with her Independent Spirit Award-winning portrayal of a drug-addicted lesbian photographer in the 1998 "High Art." Now Ally is used to going back and forth between art house indies and mainstream film fare, episodic TV ("Kyle XY," "Psych") and theater.
She has the Hallmark Channel movie "Citizen Jane" -- a true life murder story -- bowing Sept. 12. She has "Steam" coming out Sept. 29.
"That's another independent, and it's gone straight to DVD. But again, it was a wonderful experience because it was a chance to work with Ruby Dee," she informs.
She has a role in the forthcoming "Welcome to the Rileys" with James Gandolfini and Melissa Leo. "Amazing actors," Ally says.
Of her unusually eclectic credits, she explains, "When I was in my 20s, I was trying to figure out exactly what it was I wanted to be doing -- how did I want to structure my career. I knew I did not want to stay in Hollywood. I wanted to play a huge range of characters, and work in every single medium possible. It took a while to figure out how to do this, but it's exactly what I wanted."
HOT FUN IN THE SUMMERTIME: Alanis Morissette is taking a break from touring at the moment to focus on acting, but the singer tells us it hasn't kept her from writing music. "The summertime really brings out the semi-party animal in me so it inspires the fun, loving songs, which I'm not typically known for, I realize," says Morissette with a laugh.
"I have two records basically written internally. I often think that the actual execution of making the record is the last 20 percent. My producer would punch me in the face for saying that," she adds. "But for me, the heavy lifting is done now. I have a bunch of journals full. I just want to take a hot minute, though, before I get back into it."
IF THE NAME SOUNDS FAMILIAR: Trina Dolenz knows a thing or two about celebrity so adjusting to life in front of the camera has been an easy transition for the English therapist who is starring on VH1's "Tool Academy," which is returning for a second season Aug. 31. "I was married to Micky Dolenz of the Monkees and I was also his manager so I was used to all of that celebrity, but it was for my husband, not me. I've been in that sphere for so long that it all seems normal and it's nothing that would bother me. I'm kind of tickled pink and my children find it funny when anybody recognizes me. It just means people are watching the show," says Dolenz, who is helping the "toolish" guys become better people and better boyfriends.
"I always knew couples therapy would have a great appeal on television because people love watching other people's relationships. Individual therapy can be very boring," notes Dolenz, who has run private practices for couples therapy in London and Los Angeles. "I'd like to be the couples therapy version of Dr. Phil in the future," she adds with a laugh. "I certainly get loads of emails from people who say they benefit from watching the show and they learn things about themselves so that's one of the huge advantages to doing therapy on TV."
In the meantime, Dolenz is branching out into other media in hopes of helping many more couples. "I'm doing a book for the girlfriends to buy. It's basically therapy that you do on your guy without him knowing it. Hopefully that will be a big hit."
HELLO, AGAIN: Devin Ratray has been remembered as Buzz, the big brother bully in "Home Alone," for years, but after a break from the business to go to film school, the actor is taking it to the next level with a part in Bruce Willis's movie "Surrogates." Hopefully it will give audiences a chance to see a much more mature side of Ratray's acting.
"It was one of the motivating factors that helped me get back into the business because I knew I didn't want to always be known as Buzz. I'm supposed to say it's flattering but it gets a little frustrating," admits the 32-year-old actor. "I can't get annoyed at the people who ask me if I'm Buzz, though. They've never met me before and they're genuinely curious, and it turns out they actually like my work. They're not saying, 'Are you Buzz? Well, you suck!'"

Showtime's Weeds Helped Singer Alanis Morissette 'Detox'

Singer Alanis Morissette says that working on Weeds - a TV show about selling pot - helped with her real-life addiction to food. The 35-year-old Canadian, who is currently making guest appearances in the comedy about a marijuana dealer, says: "Weeds was my solace and respite in the back of the bus on tour. "I was in the middle of detoxing at the time, and it was my replacement addiction for food.

"Weeds helps me. The irony is hilarious." She will appear in seven episodes as a doctor who cares for Mary-Louise Parker's character. The singer enjoys the storyline based on the exploits of a suburban mum turned drug dealer. "Somehow, they make very fantastical things seem very mundane and commonplace, which I love," Morissette says, "and anything that pushes the envelope politically.

"Touching on legalization just by having a show called Weeds is amazing." Acting is not the former child star's only project. She is also working on a book that, she says, "is decidedly not a memoir". But the book will include questions and answers, anecdotes and humor about body-image - significant for someone who has wrestled with her own in previous years. Morissette is also training for a marathon.
"I'm doing it on behalf of eating disorders." "My thought is, on great way for people to heal their relation to food is treating the body as an instrument rather than an ornament."

Alanis Morissette starred in 'Weeds' because it helped her detox.

The 'Ironic' singer - who is about to play doctor Audra Kitson in the US TV show about a marijuana dealer - jumped at the chance to star in the comedy series because it helped her overcome the unhealthy eating habits she picked up on tour.

Alanis said: "'Weeds' was my solace and respite in the back of the bus on tour. I was in the middle of detoxing at the time, and it was my replacement addiction for food. 'Weeds' helps me. The irony is hilarious."

The Canadian rocker's character is a doctor who helps look after the show's main character, a pregnant drug-dealer called Nancy who is played by Mary-Louise Parker.

Lindsay Lohan quit these pages some time ago in favour of more tabloid sites, but we're glad to see that she's back in film, with the news that she's signed up for "indie-fantasy-comedy" The Other Side, which is set to start in October on an island off the coast of Massachusetts.

The film sees her play a graduate student who has to spend her summer on a remote island, working at a scientific institute. There, she meets an eccentric community who are hiding a secret about a tragedy of years ago.

The film also stars Woody Harrelson, Giovanni Ribisi, Dave Matthews and Alanis Morissette. David Michaels wrote the script, with Happy, Texas scribe Phil Reeves, and will make his feature directing debut on the film. Let's hope this marks a return to the Lohan we saw in Mean Girls.
