lindsay lohan to get comeback? 

while the rehabed actress has landed herself a pretty big role, i don't know if we should go around calling it a comeback quite yet. la lohan will be taking the female lead in the nightmare on elm street franchise reboot.  the film series, whose main villain is freddy kreuger, will completely overhaul the franchise, which previously included 7 films. basically, this film will be a remake of the first film with a new story line.  lindsay's manager apparently contacted the films producer, andrew ford, about lindsay being involved with the flick.  lohan was allegedly very persistent in wanting to be a part of the franchise.  lindsay got a first look at the script and was handed the role, without an audition.  usually, that is only the luxury of high brow stars.  so, maybe, lindsay is on the up and up? other actresses who actually had to audition for the role (and were turned away) included one tree hill's sophia bush and actress danielle panabaker. the guys behind the latest hollywood horror remake, friday the 13th (released today), are also behind the new nightmare on elm street alongside transformers mega director michael bay.   it's also been announced that music video director sameul bayer will make his feature film directing debut with nightmare.  bayer is known for his work on nirvana's video for "smells like teen spirit."  the film should go into production alter this year with a release date sometime in 2010.  hopefully lindsay will be getting more press for her work in the film than for her personal life with girlfriend samantha ronson.

update: it looks like lindsay is not set to join the movie after all.  someone was going around spreading the quotes and rumors, but they were mistaken.  the role is still up for grabs, though.  maybe la lohan will take it after all? 

nick jonas no longer under a wizard's spell 

the youngest jonas (at least in the band), nick, has reportedly split from disney's wizards of waverly place star selena gomez.  when asked by the insider and david letterman on their plans for valentines day, joe and kevin had no comment (joe is currently dating actress camilla belle and kevin is with a girl from the boys' home state of new jersey), nick spilt the beans that he is actually single.  nick didn't expand much more on the breakup, but did offer some insight into his relationship with scandal-prone disney star miley cyrus.  nick said that when the two were together (during the fall of 2007's hannah montana and miley cyrus: best of both worlds tour), they were immature and it was just a "young little relationship."   hmm, i wonder if miley sees it the same way? so that means nick is without a lady love this valentines day.  that void is sure to be filled within the next week or so.  nick and his brothers also blabbed that the purity rings the boys wear aren't necessarily intended to make them wait for marriage, just a reminder to live the best life they can.  interesting.  i wonder if some of the boys are getting a little promiscuous.  not exactly the best time to go changing your image boys - your disney concert movie launches this month and your disney channel original series kicks off later this year.  

speaking of selena and miley

it looks like selena gomez, miley cyrus, and demi lovato have put the rumors to rest that they're a part of th

e biggest feud disney's seen since the war over aaron carter between lindsay lohan and hilary duff.  the threesome were seen out at west hollywood's koi restaurant thursday night, accompanied by miley's a-little-too-old boyfriend, justin.  the threesome laughed the night away according to onlookers (i'm sure they all have some great jobros secrets - with miley and selena both dating nick and demi having worked with the trio on the disney channel original movie camp rock).  justin even picked up the bill (with miley's credit card i'm sure).  this is the second time the three starlets have been seen cozying up to one another.  on sunday, all three girls hung out after miley's performance at the grammy's (with another jonas ex, taylor swift).  maybe the jonas brothers should be more careful with who they decide to get close with?  it looks like an entire gang of jonas-ex's are starting to band together.
