Lindsay Lohan in Talks to Star in a Topless Las Vegas Strip Show
Word on the street for quite some time has been that newly-single Lindsay Lohan is strapped for cash and unemployed, but it looks as though the 22-year-old may have finally found her forte: starring in a topless show in Sin City.
Lohan flew from Los Angeles to Las Vegas on Saturday on the private plane of the producer of Mel B. and Kelly Monaco's "Peepshow" to attend the grand opening of the sexy striptease production, but made the trip more importantly because she had a meeting scheduled with director and Broadway big-wig, Jerry Mitchell.

"Peepshow" is designed to have rotating leads and according to very close inside sources, Lohan is in official negotiations to take over from Monaco who wants to move on and get back to work on "General Hospital," however Mel B. reportedly intends to stay on once her three-month contract is finished.
"People forget that she (Lohan) is a "triple threat" — she can act and sing and dance," said our source. "She feels that this would really revitalize her career and give her some serious theater cred."
The "Mean Girl" was even overheard gushing to Mel B. as they headed to the after-party at Planet Hollywood’s Prive nightclub about how much she loved the provocative production and how much she trusts Mitchell to direct her in an on-stage striptease.
"If they make me an offer, and the money’s right, I’ll do it," Lohan reportedly said.
We’re told the producers are very interested and would be "more than happy" to take the risk of having the "reformed rehabber" come on-board, but apparently it’s a toss between Lohan, Holly Madison and Brooke Burke for the racy role. So if Lohan does get the adults-only gig, she’ll play "Bo Peep," a timid girl who the Diva (played by Mel B.) guides in her transformation into a confident, sensual woman while surrounded by a slew of semi-naked burlesque beauties.
We've also been told that the former "Scary Spice" and Lohan have become pretty close and that Brown is pushing for Lilo to snag the job. The two ladies stayed at the afterparty chatting until 3 a.m. and so much for sobreity — Linds made no attempt to hide that she was drinking vodka and soda with a splash of cranberry.
Also spotted in the audience for Peepshow’s opening night were Charlie Sheen and wife Brooke Mueller, Chris Noth, Matthew Morrison, Perez Hilton and Donald Trump.
Miss California Openly Objects to Gay Marriage During Miss Usa Pageant
She just missed out on taking home the tiara which went to Miss North Carolina Kristen Dalton, but Miss USA 2009 first runner-up Carrie Prejan still managed to be the most talked about contestant following the crowning in Las Vegas on Sunday night.
During the Top 5 interview portion of the Donald Trump-owned pageant, the 21-year-old was asked about her thoughts on legalizing same-sex marriages.

"We live in a land where you can choose same-sex marriage or opposite marriage," Prejan said after stumbling to find the right words. "And you know what, I think my country, in my family, I that I believe that a marriage should be between a man and a woman. No offense to anybody out there, but that's how I was raised."
The controversial response was met with a commixture of cheers and boos from the audience and even more bickering between attendees in the lobby following the show.

Considering the self-confessed "Queen of Media" and strong advocate against Proposition 8 Perez Hilton was one of the judges, one may assume that could have played a prominent role as to why Prejan didn't take home the honors. But hey, its a free country and kudos to the San Diego native for biting the bullet and giving an honest answer which is bound to give her a strong following of both lovers and haters.
Romance Rekindled: Drew Barrymore And Justin Long Get It On At Coachella
Despite constant denials from Drew Barrymore and Justin Long that they have romantically reunited, Pop Tarts has exclusively learned that the "best friends" have definitely been getting it on again. The two were escorted to private VIP on stage for the MIA performance at the Coachella Music Festival in Palm Springs on Saturday night where they couldn’t keep their hands off each other.
"They were 100 percent together — Justin had his hands on her hips all night and they were kissing and hugging throughout the whole show," said our side-stage spy. One of MIA’s dancers even dragged Drew to center stage and had her help throw blow horns out to the fans.
On the note of cute couples, Pop Tarts spies also spotted Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal at the popular music festival having lunch in the artist compound on Saturday. While Jake opted for a sausage and Reese went for a raw/organic fix, the star-studded couple did share a coconut Thai drink together. Awww.
