Lindsay Lohan’s dad is upset and it’s not because she has that little substance abuse problem. His displeasure comes from the type of movie roles that she is choosing. Lohan is currently playing the role of Nancy Pitman in the movie Manson Girls. The movie is about Charles Manson and his slew of violent and cruel killings. In the movie the character that Lohan plays is a girl that is entranced with Manson and it’s believed that she went with the crazed man to the murder scenes afterwards to help him destroy evidence.

Lindsay’s dad thinks that she should be doing more of the same type of films that she’s been doing such as Mean Girls and Herbie: Fully Loaded. From Celebedge,

“Her dad Michael thinks his daughter - who will play Nancy Pitman, a cult follower of the notorious Manson who was convicted of seven counts of murder in 1971, in ‘Manson Girls’ - should stick to the “mainstream films” which made her a star.

He said: “I really hope that Lindsay gets back to the kinds of films that led to her success. I’d like to see her do more mainstream films.

“Some of the movies she has done recently were geared to a specific audience. But when you’re the kind of star Lindsay is, you have to appeal to a general audience, not just a specific audience.”

If he’s not pleased with his daughter doing this film, he probably won’t be too happy about her next project either, which is a film where she co-stars with Jared Leto. The film is about the assassination of John Lennon back in 1980. The film is called Chapter 27.

I think these types of movies are exactly what Lindsay Lohan should be doing. She’s been displayed in the media too often recently as a bimbo Hollywood star and, I’m not saying there wasn’t good reason for it, but if she wants to revive her career she needs to show that she carries a little bit of depth.

Paul McCartney has always written songs that seem to strike right at the heart. When with The Beatles, he wrote Hey Jude for Julian, the son of John Lennon, to comfort him while going through his parent’s divorce and just about any other song ever written by the singer just seems to have a way to make one stop and think.

Well, McCartney has our wheels turning again with the song Mister Bellamy on his new album Memory Almost Full. Let’s stop for a minute to think about what a great album title that is….Okay, so back to the song. Although Mr. Bellamy doesn’t seem to be anybody that McCartney has close personal contact with, there are rumours floating around that the title is actually an anagram for “Mills betray me.” From Contactmusic,

“…and fans have claimed the lyrics “I’m not coming down, no matter what you do” and “No-one to tell me what to do, no-one to hold my hand” are indicative of Sir Paul’s feelings towards his former wife.

One fan said on an internet forum: “Macca [Sir Paul] wouldn’t be so blunt as to write a song specifically about someone, or a situation, and then say so, but you’d have to be a fool not to understand that he does write these songs.”

And another added: “Paul writes metaphorically.

“He can write a song about his relationship with Heather without actually saying the words Heather, wife, divorce or mistrust.”

In a video for the Memory Almost Full website, Sir Paul said: “Who is Mr Bellamy? Well, I never know who these people are.”

He went on: “Who is Chuck and Dave from When I’m 64? Who is Eleanor Rigby? Who is Desmond and Molly from Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da? I don’t know, I just make them up.

“I like giving characters names and just making them up and trying to make them fit.”

No matter how you look at it, it would be entirely appropriate. Maybe McCartney didn’t actually mean the anagram and he’s just so brilliant that these things come to him without even he being able to realize it. Or maybe he just has too much class to come out and say, “Yes, it is an anagram. I hate that money-grubbing whore.”
