Since Lindsay Lohan passed the point of playing any role other than a sad, stoned rendition of Lindsay Lohan a long time ago, we have to assume that her new film -- getting a splashy premiere this Sunday as part of the ABC Family Channel's noted Film Series -- is about Lindsay's own, very public "labor pains," and not Vista's or Piper's or Tanner's or whatever improbably named character she's supposed to be playing. This makes the tagline ("All her career needs is a little bump") worrying. Are those Lindsay's own words, assumably overheard in a club bathroom stall (Hey! All I need is a little bump! It's for my careeeeer!) or a warning that Lindsay thinks her career would get a boost if she had a baby? Because it probably would. But Lindsay, please don't have a baby, and if you do invest in a real pregnancy book and not one that only exists in a layer of Photoshop on a computer in the ABC Family marketing office.
