FRIDAY MARCH 14 2014 ENTERTAINMENT 39 Big names sweating on Lohan’s Project shake-up after lover list LINDSAY Lohan can’t work out what she’s done with her Pickering calls it quits career, so now comes news that she’s written down a list of her very famous ex-lovers, just in case she forgets them, too. In Touch magazine is re- porting that Lohan’s love roll call features the names of high- profile conquests including Heath Ledger, Adam Levine, Zac Efron, Justin Timberlake and Joaquin Phoenix. According to the magazine, Lohan penned the 36-person list during a boozy lunch in Hollywood with a few mates. A source, who claimed to have watched her write the document, said: “They were giggling and talking s**t about people in the industry. “It was her personal con- quest list. She was trying to im- press her friends with the list and then tossed it aside.” Other big names on the list include Colin Farrell, American Horror Story star Evan Peters and her ex-boyfriend Wilmer Valderrama, and 50 Shades Of Grey star Jamie Dornan. But perhaps most contro- versial is the huge number of the names that have been blanked out for legal reasons. According to an industry in- sider: “The list has some pretty big names on it, and they’re not all single guys. “This getting out now could rock several Hollywood re- lationships to the core.” In 2009, a report claimed Lohan had been seeing Ledger just before his death in 2008 of an accidental drug overdose.
