Lydia To Act Like Lohan

Filed Under: Lindsay Lohan Film Flickers Dina Lohan Lydia Hearst

Model Lydia Hearst's landed her first mayjah movie gig!

The 26 year old is set to star in Dogs In Pocketbooks, where she'll play "a bratty movie goddess in and out of rehab, in trouble with the law, and hounded by greedy agents, predatory paparazzi, off-the-wall stalkers and crazed media — a role obviously based on Lindsay Lohan."

Screenwriter Charles Casillo says of Lydia:

"She's one of the few supermodels who can actually act. She's smart, well-read, charming and very beautiful. We looked at a lot of actresses for this role, and I was really knocked out."

And before you go and pick up the phone to complain ,Dina Lohan, Casillo says the film "is in no way mean-spirited towards Lindsay. It's the kind of thing she has spoofed about herself in the past."

We'd say that's fair.

Shooting for the film, which also stars Joan Collins as Lydia's agent, begins in February.

We're dying to see the trailer!
