Lohan, Franco 'sign up for explicit book'

Lindsay Lohan has reportedly signed a deal to appear in an explicit photographic book.

According to the Daily Mirror, the Mean Girls star will front the publication with fellow actor James Franco. The explicit content will include "full frontal nudity".

The deal is said to be worth around £2.1 million ($3.4m), with photographer Terry Richardson taking the shots.

The source claimed: "Lindsay is struggling to get another break in Hollywood. There's a stigma attached to working with her and she is determined to change this, starting with the photographic book."

"Terry Richardson has persuaded Lindsay and James to get involved. He has assured them it will be provocative but tasteful. There will be a lot of nakedness - some of it graphic and suggestive - but it will be a real statement book."

Lohan has recently been charged with stealing a necklace worth $2,500.

Dianna Agron: 'Paparazzi can be invasive'

Dianna Agron has insisted that the paparazzi can sometimes appear "threatening" when they are trying to snap her picture.

The Glee star told Interview magazine that she doesn't attract much attention from photographers in her daily life.

"On a day-to-day basis, it doesn't really affect me much because the places that I go in LA very rarely have paparazzi, and if there are fans, they're so nice and easygoing," Agron said.

The 20-year-old Savannah native went on to say that she's yet to comprehend how to react to the rare occasions when she is confronted by the press.

She explained: "Sometimes there are paparazzi that take photos and you don't know they're there... And then there's other times where they're two feet away from your face and it's invasive and it feels threatening, so you don't want to be smiling. You just want to get out of that situation.

"You know people can look at it as, 'Why is she playful there and why is she so cool here?' It's not that. It's just literally, they're shouting nasty things at you and they're in your face. You can see a picture and people can interpret it different ways."

Earlier this week, Agron revealed that she damaged her voice while filming the new sci-fi drama I Am Number Four .

Reese Witherspoon pleased to be friends with Pattinson

Reese Witherspoon has said that she is overjoyed to have become friends with Robert Pattinson while filming Water for Elephants.

The actress stars opposite Pattinson in the film, which tells the story of an unlikely love triangle set during the Great Depression.

"I am so lucky," Witherspoon admitted to Entertainment Tonight. "He's so amazing and wonderful and sweet and just the nicest guy too, so you can just add that to the soup.

"I mean, he's just so good looking and he's a really nice person," the actress added.

However, when questioned as to whether her friendship with the English actor could develop into a romantic relationship, Witherspoon was quick to dismiss any rumours.

"We'll probably just laugh the whole time, because all we do is just laugh and joke around," Witherspoon said, insisting her friendship with Pattinson is purely platonic.

The actress announced her engagement to Creative Artists Agency Head of Motion Picture Talent Jim Toth late last year.
