Lydia Hearst-Shaw may look a lot like Lindsay Lohan but LiLo's father doesn't think that means the heiress should be playing a character based on the troubled actress' life.
Reports circulated Monday that Patty Hearst's daughter would be playing a character based on Michael Lohan's daughter in the TV movie "Dogs in Pocketbooks."
A rep for the 26-year-old model told the Daily News she was only just offered the role of a rehab-hopping movie star, but has not yet read the script by Charles Castillo.
"She has no knowledge of this project nor any ties to Lindsay Lohan," her agent said.
Hearst-Shaw herself took to Twitter on Tuesday to dispel rumors that she was already attached to the movie.
"Not officially signed onto any other projects," she tweeted. "Thank you"
Regardless, Lohan's father has already criticized the project.
"Personally, I don't understand why Mr. Castillo and Lydia Hearst find the need to make a movie about Lindsay and our family when the Hearsts family probably has more drama than ours," he told X17online.com. " If this is a satire, I bet they get Courtney Love to play Dina, Mel Gibson to play me, and Lydia should really fit the bill as Lindsay."
Well, Joan Collins is reportedly playing a big agent in the film.
He added that Hearst-Shaw's background -- which includes a mother who in the 1970s was kidnapped by the Symbionese Liberation Army and helped them pull off a bank robbery -- suggested she should do a movie about her own family instead.
Meanwhile, Dina Lohan has told TMZ.com, the family may sue as the film is using LiLo's "likeness" without compensating her.
Hearst-Shaw is best known as the heir to her great grandfather William Randolph Hearst's publishing fortune, though she has been slowly making her way into Hollywood. She appeared in the first season of "Gossip Girl" as an interior decorator and is set to star in Bernard Rose's "The Two Jacks," which is reportedly based on a Leo Tolstoy short story about a father and son.
