Lindsay Lohan the actress has been flying under the radar recently. She has been mostly just traveling from Coast to Coast on the US map following her former girlfriend Samantha Ronson on her dj gigs.
She has not starred in a film since 2007’s “I Know Who Killed Me.” She filmed a movie in 2008 called “Labor Pains” but it went straight to USA Map cable.
Lohan has become marginalized as an actress on the world map; instead she is now just a target of tabloid fodder and “I can’t believe what she did this week” stories.
It has come out on People.com that Lohan has landed herself a role in an independent fantasy comedy called “The Other Side”. Her co-stars are set to be: Giovanni Ribisi, Alanis Morissette, Dave Matthews and Woody Harrelson.
Variety Magazine reported that the plot will be this:
The film focuses on “a grad student [Lohan] who must spend the summer working at a scientific institute on a remote island,” Variety” reports. “She discovers an eccentric community of characters who are hiding a secret about a tragedy that took place many years before.”
Hopefully Lohan’s comeback will be a successful one. She has had scandal in the past of being difficult to work with. On the set of her movie “Georgia Rule” she showed up to work late a lot and a movie studio exec even wrote her a letter commenting on her professionalism.
Since she has not been in a real movie role in quite sometime its time for Lohan to again establish herself as an actress again. She has really not had a successful movie role since 2004’s “Mean Girls.”
Perhaps Lindsay has learned that fans have grown tired of her antics and it is time to move back to the thing that made her famous, movies.

Looking at a map of California can be daunting. Not only is the Golden State the world’s eighth largest economy, it’s the third largest state in land area on the United States Map. Although, the freeways can be intimidating a road trip to California is quite easy and a lot more affordable than paying for airfare for an entire family. The key to making a road trip a success is to be prepared. If you already live on the Western half of the United States, it is fairly simple to navigate your way to beaches or National Parks in California.
The essential for any road trip and especially a road trip to California is a good USA map . Don’t simply rely on internet maps because they can sometimes be quite unreliable. Visit your local bookstore or AAA branch to pick up an up-to-date one. Be aware that drivers in California can be quite aggressive, so it is advisable to have your route planned out so you do not miss any turns or off-ramps. Unlike in some other states, California has a good number of exits that allow cars to get off on the left, which can be confusing to someone who is from out of town. If you do miss your exit, don’t get frustrated, there will most likely be a way to turn around.
Allow your car to be a no frustration zone, and remember to switch the driver from time to time. Driving on California highways or anywhere for that matter is not a good idea when you are tired, or sleep deprived. Also, beware of the toll roads as you enter Southern California, only people who live in the state can apply for access to the toll roads, and because they are blocked off from the rest of the freeway there is no better way to spot an out-of-towner, then seeing a car try to escape from the toll lanes.
As long as you have a good US Map in hand and a need for a vacation, with gas as cheap as it is now, it’s time to take a weekend in California.
