Screengrab Death Watch: Day One

And now, the end is near, and so we face the final curtain...

Yes, it’s true...as it turns out, the shitty economy, global warming, the death of print media and the looming Swine Flu pandemic are only the tips of the iceberg of sadness we’ll all have to deal with this year.

We learned yesterday that Nerve.com will be shuttering some of its culture blogs including...(sniff, sniff)...this one: sad to say, the Screengrab is not long for this dirty old world.

So enjoy our beloved, non-commercially viable coverage of the cinematic universe while you can...and stay tuned for plenty of clip-show nostalgia, maudlin eulogizing, a heart-tugging farewell song from Bette Midler and, in a last-ditch attempt to boost hits, 100% more gratuitous Tits & Ass...like, uh...that chick from The Hills showing her butt!

Lindsay Lohan: Too Crazy For Manson

So, less than two months after it was reported here that Tara Reid...I mean Lindsay Lohan...had been cast as one of the titular LSD and murder enthusiasts in Manson Girls (the latest entry in a feel-good trifecta including the murder/torture/stripper-pole-humping I Know Who Killed Me and the scumbag-who-killed-John-Lennon biopic Chapter 27), industry schadenfreude enthusiasts are reporting the erstwhile actress was fired from her latest terrible-sounding project.

According to Entertainment Weekly, Ms. Hilton...I mean, Lohan...claims she wasn’t fired...but blogger Nikki Finke begs to differ.

Quoth Ms. Finke: ““Lohan quickly became more of a deficit than an asset when [producers] discovered that they couldn’t find any name actresses who wanted to co-star with her.”

According to various sources, Ms. Spears...uh, Lohan...later celebrated her continuing status as box office poison by sharing tequila shots with fellow inexplicable celebrity Lauren Conrad of The Hills.

Here’s wishing Ms. Montag or Lohan all the best in her continuing efforts to, y’know, like, whatever.
