Lindsay Lohan goes nude in the new issue of New York Magazine in an attempt to recreate “The Last Sitting,” the iconic 1962 photos of Marilyn Monroe taken by legendary Bert Stern six weeks before her death.

I don’t know, I think LiLo looks more like Dana Plato of Diff'rent Strokes (I mean cracked out and robbing a video store) than Marilyn Monroe.  The only thing that makes Lindsay resemble Marilyn in anyway is probably owed to black-and-white photography, Photoshop, and soft focus.

Perhaps Bert Stern, who is like really old now, just can’t see anymore or maybe he is barely able to think on top of it.  Because what parallels can he draw between the two actresses?  Sure, they both had addiction issues.  Sure, they were sort of tabloid queens.  But let’s take a step back here – everyone in Hollywood has an addiction issue and Marilyn Monroe wasn’t considered a tabloid queen for stuff like doing Tony Allen, front man for Dead Stays Alive, in the bathroom of the Cirque Lodge.  Worse than that, it was only last week when our freckly vodka/champagne boozer was left without DIH by Adrian Grenier (how embarrassing) at a West Hollywood club.  According to NY Daily News:

“LiLo at first gravitated to Grenier, pulling off her red leather jacket and pulling him onto the dance floor. But when the girl he came with reclaimed the “Entourage” star, Lohan made her way over to the table where Leo DiCaprio was partying with Kevin Connolly and Lukas Haas. “She was very flirty with Leo,” says our spy. “But he wasn’t saying much to her.” DiCaprio and Grenier and their posses exited around 2 a.m., leaving Lohan with some girlfriends.”

So like I said, Bert Stern is probably suffering from bad eyesight and the inability to think (which includes following celebrity news before chosing a photo subject). Poor old man.  I hope someone at New York Magazine found his hat and slippers for him when he left the office.  There’s just no other reason why one would select Lindsay Lohan to portray Marilyn Monroe in tribute – perhaps as a bad joke in a foreign B-film by some undergrads, sure that would make sense.  If Dana Plato were alive, even she would’ve done a better job.
