Lindsay Lohan in Mission Impossible 3?

Kudos to Dude. Man. Phat. for beating the big boys to the punch on what may be the Lindsay Lohan story of the year.

In a radio interview with LA's 102.7 KIIS-FM immediately following her performance at Wango Tango Saturday, Lindsay Lohan let the news slip that she's going to China soon to film a BIG movie.

"What movie? Can you answer that," said the radio guy immediately as Lohan was still wet with sweat from the stage.

"Mission Impossible 3. Shhhh. You're the first ones I've told."

The production team for the movie said that Scarlett Johansson left the cast because the script was dramatically changed. I guess that must be true if they're going with Lindsay Lohan instead.

By the way, that really is Lindsay Lohan in the picture above. It's sad, I know.

Also: Variety (via JoBlo) has said that Lindsay has been cast in Robert Altman's new film "Prairie Home Companion." That's an odd casting choice since her acting skills are so not on par with the rest of the cast, which includes Meryl Streep, Woody Harrelson, John C. Reilly, Maya Rudolph, Lily Tomlin and Kevin Kline. Then again, maybe they're casting the role of a vapid, coked-out, anorexic.
