More after the jump.

A while back, Linday Lohan starred in a romantic comedy called Just My Luck. For the film’s poster, rather than create a new image, the promotions department simply used an existing paparazzi pic of Lindsay.

It turned out to be the most interesting thing about the movie.

Which got us to wondering: Considering the current state of Lohan’s career, could her paparazzi pics do a better job as an actress than she does?

Here, for example, is one of Lohan’s paparazzi pics playing the Dustin Hoffman role in Marathon Man:

Following in Angelina Jolie’s successful footsteps, Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton have separately announced plans to visit Africa to rehabilitate their party-girl reputations.

Media Orchard has learned exclusively that Lohan and Hilton have already made a hush-hush trip to the Dark Continent in preparation for their future, more high-profile sojourns.

Unfortunately, all did not go as planned — as you can see after the jump (nsfw).

Reportedly, several generous African women offered to share their own undergarments with the visitors. Residents also expressed concern that the pair looked “hungry.”

Publicists for Lohan and Hilton did not return phone calls.

It was a phoner.
