Lindsay Lohan channels Marilyn Monroe in "The Last Sitting" for New York magazine

Hmm... I don't know quite what I feel about this - Lindsay Lohan imitating Marilyn Monroe in her final photo session with famed photographer Bert Stern, known as "The Last Sitting". Six weeks after the shoot, Monroe was found dead of an apparent barbiturate overdose. Forty-six years later, Lohan is posing bombshell-style for the latest issue of New York magazine, also shot by Stern. “I didn’t have to put much thought into it. I mean, Bert Stern? Doing a Marilyn shoot? When is that ever going to come up? It’s really an honour,” she said.

More pics after the jump...

While it might seem an odd choice, I mean what has Lohan done so far that is even remotely in the same region as what Monroe achieved (besides struggle with addiction?) But there is obvious similarities... both were/are fodder for the tabloids, whose lives dramatically changed from their constant media exposure. Having said that, when seeing the original prints at an exhibition in Paris last year, I never ever could have pictured anyone else in the photos and, I must admit, I still can't.

The new issue of New York magazine is out now.

Ouch....to be honest she looks a bit rough to me, especially in the top photo

BOB:
The only reason I can come up with is that she's the only skank willing to pose pretty much naked...

She looks old-----------------
Hey Marilyn, we miss you----------------------

Nice wig.
Lohan isnt a "woman" nor sex symbol, she is NOT worthy of these poses.

eew. shes gross.. they could have gotten ALOT better.

It's pretty obvious the only thing they have in common is tragedy, only Marilyn was still beautiful and classy while doing it. Lohan is just a train wreck. This is disgusting.

Can you spell SKANK? Lindsay Lohan

Posted by: Dee Combs | February 19, 2008 1:30 AM

Lindsay Lohan will NEVER come close to becoming Marilyn Monroe. Sweetie put your clothes back on because your not that great looking without them!!!!

Posted by: As | February 19, 2008 1:51 AM

Liz, I couldn't have said it better. As a huge MM fan, I am offended by this "shoot!"

Posted by: TJ | February 19, 2008 3:51 AM

Lindsay is not nearly as hot as Marilyn. Compare the first photo. Marilyn holds up 46 years later. Lindsay looks terrible. I can't believe she O.K.'d this.

Posted by: rij | February 19, 2008 7:18 AM

She looks gorgerous, she's more voluputous then marilyn but still incredable, I can't imagine what an honour it is to do this project and pose as marilyn, this amazing icon. i wouldn't turn it down.

OK, so she doesn't look like Marilyn but she is almost as loose and she is fairly nuts too. How else is she supposed to jump ahead of Britney in the polls.

Posted by: Lindsay Follies | February 19, 2008 9:05 AM

Lindsey looks pretty dreadful. I can't believe this is a girl in her early 20s. She looks 15 years older.
Marilyn looks younger and better, though she has years on Lindsey.

Poor old Lohan - looking at these pics it's hard to remember how adorable she was in 'Mean Girls' (which was, what, just 4 years ago?). It's a fairly sobering warning about the pills'n'booze 'celebrity' lifestyle that she's been living; she looks almost double her real age these days. I can understand the comments from all the haters - she's no Marilyn, that's for sure - but really I just find the whole thing deeply sad.

Posted by: treehavn | February 19, 2008 10:21 AM

The first photo isn't very beautiful, I'm surprised they used it!

To be honest, I am surprised overall with the photographer's choice to redo this shoot. It seems like it was a choice made to sell covers. This would have been a lovely shoot, had it been done for the FIRST TIME ROUND. To accept these photos as something exquisite, you have to accept that Lindsay Lohan is the modern-day Marilyn Monroe, and I'm not prepared to accept that!

Posted by: Michelle | February 19, 2008 8:27 PM

OMG! What was that magazine thinking! My husband is a great Marilyn Monroe fan and is appalled at this whole disgusting thing! I totally agree with the earlier comments about how old Lindsay is looking these days. She should stop trying to be like someone else and look inside to find herself.

Posted by: Wendy | February 20, 2008 1:48 AM

Ugh...no....just...no. And I agree with the posts before mine, she looks way older than she really is. And the comparison with the two photos up top...? Marilyn beats Lindsay, no doubt. They could have found someone much better than Lindsay Lohan. She just looks horrible.

Posted by: Ash | February 20, 2008 11:58 PM

lohan looks much older than her age. monroe is still the best!!!

Posted by: terry | February 21, 2008 3:29 AM

Eww, she's so fugly. I cant believe it that once upon a time she was actually pretty. And now she looks like trash. There is no comparision between her and Marilyn. Neither the face (gasp) and definitely not the body. Lindsay looks strange. Christina Aguilera would look better for a Marilyn shoot.

Posted by: June | February 29, 2008 6:23 AM

Lindsay looks like a little girl playing dress-up... the photos don't have the same power because she is not yet sexually mature, like Monroe obviously was. Also, to give her the benefit of the doubt, if it is the same photographer, he is probably pretty old and fugly by now, too! I'd find it hard to look seductive across a camera lens from a man probably old enough to be my grandfather.
