Lindsay Lohan Does Her Best (Naked) Marilyn Impression

Lindsay Lohan bares all — no, really — for the cover of New York magazine's Spring fashion issue. Photographer Bert Stern re-created his famous final photoshoot with Marilyn Monroe, making yet another bold comparison between the two actresses. Just like in the original shoot, the blonde bombshell in front of the camera (LL wore a wig) stripped down to nothing. We've got the more safe photos compiled here, but check out the NY mag site for all the NSFW glory. I know that LL loves her body, but I was still a little shocked to wake up and see this. As for why she went along with it, Lindsay said it was a no brainer, "I didn’t have to put much thought into it. I mean, Bert Stern? Doing a Marilyn shoot? When is that ever going to come up? It’s really an honor." Lohan on the Marilyn painting hanging in her house:

"It’s eerie,” Lohan said of the painting, a Christmas gift, “because it’s this picture of her, and it’s kind of cartoony, and there’s a big bottle of pills next to her, and they’ve fallen over.” Lohan called Monroe’s suicide “tragic,” and then added, elliptically, “You know, it’s also tragic what just recently happened to someone else.” I asked whether she was referring to Heath Ledger. She nodded: “They are both prime examples of what this industry can do to someone.” Why some and not others, I asked, since it has often seemed that the thrice-rehabbed Lohan might meet a similar fate. Lohan replied with a flicker of annoyance: “I don’t know. I’m not them. But I sure as hell wouldn’t let it happen to me.”

Lindsay Lohan seems pretty confident in the control she has over herself so fingers crossed all those rumors about her drinking again don't mean she's headed back down a bad path. Let's just hope that LL keeps her Marilyn Monroe imitation to photoshoots, paintings, and racy rumors.

    WHY?!?!?

    MM seemed so classy and devoted to her art. LL seems so trashy and unworthy of this distinction.

    And I am tired of seeing all these girls flashing their goodies. I know that half of the free world has already seen it, but I wish they would keep SOMETHING to themselves.

    Marilyn had curves and was very feminine and sexy... LL definitely does not fit the bill!

    I agree... low ball impression... Anna Nicole was a better tribute to MM than LL is... and that says a lot!

    She doesn't have Marilyn's body.

    They should have airbrushed some curves.

    Her people are obviously trying to reassociate her with a more classic image, but her real life doesn't match the image they are trying to create and she was never this mega talented, charismatic actress, so there's not much they can do.

    Ew, whats wrong with LL's skin? She looks gross, more like a lizard than Marilyn. I would rather see Scarlette for a marilyn inspired photoshoot.

    IMHO that's an insult to Marlyn Monroe to compare LL to her. But eh, what do I know. I agree that Scarlett would/could look much more like MM.

    Ugh, definitely not a worthy comparison. Not only are they two different body types, but Lindsay is completely lacking the mystique and vulnerability of Marilyn, as well as the underlying talent.

    These photos are not good. Well, the photography is good, Lindsay is not. I HATE that she compares herself to Marilyn Monroe. What is the comparison??????? LL is a drug addict, well that does compare! But come on! Stripping down nude is only a cry for attention. And that is all this media wh*re wants, is attention. She bugs the sh*t out of me!!!!!!!!!! Go away LL, no one cares.

    Ewww! Is she really stooping that low? I get the concept as it's a privilege to be photographed by the same photographer - but it's basically the same as posing for Playboy. At least "Puffin" would make sure she looked great. She looks desperate for attention. Her career is DEAD! No one wants her to star in their movie because: 1)She's a coke wh*re, 2)The risks of her not showing up are high and 3) They are more talented people out there who are appreciative of what they have/get and wouldn't f*ck it up. These nude shots will only make her more of a laughingstock and a slut. I mean, it's not like we've never seen her privates, but still. Getting naked doesn't necessarily mean that it's sexy or provocative. Oh, well. I wouldn't be surprised if she poses for Playboy in the next few years as it's the only thing she's doing nowadays - which are photo shoots. She has nothing to promote yet she's whoring herself out for the sake of being mentioned and being on a magazine cover. Sadly, all of these photo shoots are vulgar, like the one where she's giving the bird. Loser!

    Anyway, I can't believe this chick is only older than me in 5 months. She looks old, greasy and used. Eww!

    She looks so much older than she is. Why do otherwise pretty young women wreck their skin?

    I am absolutely appalled by this. Lindsay Lohan symbolizes all that is low and tasteless in new hollywood and comparing her to the legend that is Marilyn Monroe is just wrong. I think this photographer just shot himself in the foot for going along with this project. Terrible, just terrible.

    And for those who actualy think she "looks beautiful" or that this shoot is artistic in any way...you have PLENTY to learn.

    I like these photos by themselves, kind of. Her skin looks odd, but that might be the film.

    She cannot compare to Marilyn Monroe. No one can.

    It always surprises me when people are all, "Nobody can compare to Marilyn Monroe" and "She's untouchable" and so forth. She wasn't exactly a paradigm of chastity, that one.

    I agree with LegalBeagle. This is just the step before she does Playboy. She can't impress anyone with her "talent" so she's getting naked.

    Well, with me, I wasn't referring to "chastity" and what not. I could care less about that. However, she was iconic, and no one, especially Lindsay Lohan, can match that.

    I truly am embarrassed for Ms. Hohan. She looks like crap in these photos - not sexy or pretty. Is Bert Stern hard up for money that he would disgrace MM's memory this way or is he just senile?

    I'm really surprised at all the "Ew... her skin is gross" comments. Her skin isn't gross, it's just not airbushed beyond oblivion. That's what real skin with real freckles actually looks like. I'm just pleased that for once she let them show her freckles, since she almost never does.
