She's working on her sobriety at the Betty Ford Center in Rancho Mirage, Calif., but will Lindsay Lohan be working in Hollywood when she leaves rehab?
If she is, it won't be on the biopic 'Inferno.' Lohan is no longer in the cast, according to director Matthew Wilder, despite his previous willingness to accommodate his fallen star (who famously visited Cannes to promote the film) and keep her on what he once called "our movie."
The 'Inferno' director now tells E! that his team is moving on: "We are currently in negotiations [with another actress] and working out the legalities of bringing her onboard...We have stuck by Lindsay very patiently for a long time with a lot of love and support...Ultimately, the impossibility of insuring her, and some other issues, have made it impossible for us to go forward."

Her rep has confirmed: "Lindsay is dedicated to her recovery and together they decided to move forward without her."
The decision may have been made during the starlet's recent furlough from rehab. Last week, Lohan was granted permission to leave Betty Ford for a weekend visit to her West Hollywood home, and she reportedly sought the "day pass" in order to meet with Wilder about the film. She also met with her father during her hours away from her treatment program, but chaos ensued when Dina Lohan insisted that he be escorted from the premises of their daughter's apartment by security.
Dina has claimed rehab is making her daughter "a different person." Let's hope it also makes her a person who will take the bad news about 'Inferno' in stride.
