    Canada could stop Lindsay Lohan from playing Elizabeth Taylor

    Canada could stand in the way of Lindsay Lohan playing Elizabeth Taylor, but don't thank us just yet.

    Though reports have circulated that LiLo will star as Liz herself in a new Lifetime biopic, it all depends on Stephen Harper -- and her probation officer.

    Filming on "Liz and Dick" (get your mind out of the gutter! It's about Taylor's romance with Richard Burton!) is set to start in the spring. That may be enough time for Lohan to complete her court requirements, but not her probation, which ends in 2014. Unless the 25-year-old "Mean Girls" star gets approval from her probation officer, she can't leave  California during that time.

    The other problem? If you are convicted of driving under the influence outside Canada (just like LiLo was), the government considers you "criminally inadmissible" to enter the country. The only way to get around that is by getting special permission from the government.

    "She would apply with the consulate, which would allow the Canadian government to allow her entry prior to the period of deemed rehabilitation, which they consider to be five years following the conclusion of probation," criminal lawyer Troy Slaten told E! Online.

    But even if Harper decides to give Lohan a chance, she still has to beat Megan Fox for the role of ol' violet eyes. According to Radar it's a done deal, but we've heard that one before.

      if she plays Elizabeth Taylor, this Canadian won't be watching yuck

      so they`re going with someone who can`t act to act as Miss Taylor? Wow. Why don`t they just pee on her grave?

      A no-talent, no-discipline mess like her, has no business even THINKING of playing a true star like Elizabeth Taylor. She looks nothing like Elizabeth, and hasn't one iota of Elizabeth's acting talent.

      Canada doesn't want her. Nor does anyone else who appreciates real talent and beauty.

        Don't need her here, not even on temporary Lohan!

        well, to be fair, they did take Celine off our hands! If we reject this reject, they may send Celine and her grandpa back up here!

      How can you ask Lindsay Lohan a thief to act the part of a legend and an Icon, like Liz Taylor? This is a gross insult on the memory of the late legend. IF Liz were to be alive, she would definitely put a stop to it. How dare LILO even try to accept the part. She is not fit to pick up Liz Taylor's trash.

      Lohan as LIz? Never what an insult to the late great Taylor! She'd be rolling in her grave if she knew. PS Canada thanks you if you chose not to let this twit into the country btw!

      This ugly, scrawny, drug-addled wannabee isn't fit to play Larry Fortensky, never mind Elizabeth Taylor.

      If you are so hung up on not finding someone credible to play the part of Liz Taylor, I would gladly volunteer to do it and sign on the dotted line to do it for charity, for the sake of everything that is good, do not let Lindsay Lohan act the part of Liz Taylor, not now not ever.
      What word do you even have for someone who steals over and over again going up and down like a Yo-Yo? And it is not Kleptomania, because she is way beyond that!

      Lindsay Lohan couldn't act her way out of a wet paper bag and she wants to play the most beautiful woman in the world? WRONG. I can't really see Megan Fox doing it either.....how about Michelle Williams or Charlize Theron? Either one of them would get into our country without having Harper involved.....

      She does not deserve to play someone like Liz. I will honestly be disappointed if they pick her. Keep looking please.
    • b.bob  •  Prince George, British Columbia  •  3 months ago

    • A True  •  3 months ago
      here is a chance for Harper and the Canadian government to redeem themselves! Havent we Canadian suffered enough?? dont let her in!!!
    • Kat  •  Calgary, Alberta  •  3 months ago
      I hope Stephen Harper doesn't have anything to do with it - isn't he too busy making laws? Brutal. I won't watch it if she plays Taylor. What a slap in the face!
    • B.A.D..  •  Victoria, British Columbia  •  3 months ago
      I think I feel another migraine coming on. WHY would anyone pick her to play this role?
      One good reason to stay off drugs.

      Please keep your convicts on YOUR side of the border. We don't need any more yankee pollution messing up our country.

    • Caroline  •  3 months ago

      she was playing.
    • misteeq  •  3 months ago
