LINDSAY LOHAN HAVING SEX ON SCREEN

Freckled beauty Lindsay Lohan has agreed to have sex on screen to prove she's a great actress reports Digital Spy UK. The 20-year-old always swore she would never shoot a sex scene, but Chris Siverston - the director of her new movie 'I Know Who Killed Me' - persuaded her to change her mind so she would get the critical recognition she craves.

Lindsay - who plays a stripper who is kidnapped and has both her legs amputated in the movie - told Nylon magazine, "Chris Siverston is a f***ing genius. We made a deal that I will do any film he wants me to do.

"At first I was like 'I can't do this, I'm getting my leg cut off. I don't want to look like that in scenes, I want to look decent!'

"But that was just me being young and stupid. And I have my first sex scene in it, which I always said I wouldn't do.

"I wanted to do this movie so people can see that I'm a f***ing actress and I've been doing it forever and it's about time people see that. It felt so good to really get to act."

Meanwhile, Lindsay Lohan was "terrified" of playing an overtly "sexual" female in her new film.

The star - who has been romantically linked to a series of famous men and sent a text message to a male friend from rehab saying she was "craving sex" - struggled to play Rachel, a disturbed young girl who tries to seduce her stepfather, in 'Georgia Rule'.

Lindsay said, "I was really nervous when I had the scene where I had to be sexual and provocative. I was terrified.

"I cried so much when we wrapped. I haven't been able to go where Rachel goes in a movie."

The actress' character is sexually abused in the movie, and her co-star Jane Fonda - who works to prevent teenage pregnancy in Georgia - found it hard to watch.

Jane said, "I get so emotional when I see this movie, because I work with girls who have been abused. And I know how the abuse makes them act out."

Lindsay Ann Hawker's killer Still On The Run


Ryann Connell

Accused killer Tatsuya Ichihashi remains unaccounted for, weeks after the brutal murder of English teacher Lindsay Ann Hawker, and attention has turned to his wealthy parents in the hope of picking up his trail again, according to Josei Jishin.

Freeloader Ichihashi lived in an apartment in Ichikawa, Chiba Prefecture, that his parents owned and where Hawker's body was eventually found on March 26.

Though a graduate of a prestigious university, Ichihashi chose not to work, instead living off mommy and daddy -- posh physicians living in a palatial mansion (in the true sense of the word) in Gifu Prefecture.

"His parents were classmates at a private high school in Gifu. Both graduated and moved on to Nihon University, where his father studied to become a surgeon and mother a dentist," a reporter for a national daily tells Josei Jishin. "Until the killing, the father had been the head of an Aichi Prefecture hospital's surgical department. The mother was running the family dental clinic, but has since shut it down."

Neighbors spoke highly of the accused killer's parents.

"The father is a warm, gentle type, even though the mother is a bit snappy," one neighbor tells the women's weekly.

Ichihashi drastically changed his generous parents' lives, too, the moment he allegedly took Hawker's.

"He told us directly that it was impossible for him to work, so he has been placed on indefinite leave. Someone else has taken over his job," says a spokesman for the hospital where Ichihashi's father worked.

The women's weekly notes that the parents are now holed up in the Gifu palace with a tap on their phone that allows phone calls to be tracked, in hopes that their son will ring them.

Of course, they wouldn't need to be there were it not for the bumbling Chiba Prefectural Police, who allowed Ichihashi to literally slip out of their hands the night Hawker's body was discovered, according to Weekly Playboy.

A junior high schoolboy from Ichikawa tells a tale of incompetent crime-fighting that would be comical were the consequences not so tragic.

"This group of about five or six cops carrying flashlights came running up the road, shouting 'Stop, wait.' One of the cops came over to me. 'We're after a crook on the run. Give us that bike for a minute,' he said and snatched my bicycle away from me," the boy tells Weekly Playboy.

The boy says he was terrified, so stayed by a police officer's side. "But the officer flashed his light into a parking lot and then, all of a sudden, this shadow came flying out of the darkness. It was like a huge ape. The cop grabbed it and had pinned his arms, but the guy twisted him around and elbowed him. As the cop bent over, the man ran away," the boy says.

What they boy has to say so far has been pretty widely reported. But what he says next must be a condemnation of police handling of the case.

"While he was grappling with Ichihashi, the cop was screaming out at me, 'Call the cops! Call the cops!' What was I supposed to do? 'You are the cops,' I shouted back," the boy says. "The cop was pathetic. You couldn't rely on him for anything."

Chiba Prefectural Police still have 150 officers searching for Ichihashi, but he has vanished without a trace.

Many say he has taken his own life, but others believe he is out there, somewhere. Among those who hold out hope of finding the accused killer but who have given up hope of the police ever catching him are a group of Hawker's friends who have formed what the Japanese media is calling a "vigilante group."

"Most of the members are English people who used to hang out at the same cafe that Hawker-san went to," a friend of Hawker's tells Weekly Playboy. "They are looking for Ichihashi through the foreign resident community. They're trying much harder to find him than the Chiba Prefectural Police force are."

Sylvester Stallone Pleaded Guilty And Apologized.

Sylvester Stallone finally pleaded guilty on Tuesday and apologized for illegally importing 48 vials of banned human growth hormone into Australia in what he called a "strange and truly unfortunate occurrence".

Stallone's lawyer, Phillip Boulten, handed a letter to a Sydney court in which the actor admitted two charges of importing a prohibited substance when he arrived at Sydney airport from the United States in February on a promotional tour.

"I made a terrible mistake. Not because I was attempting to deceive anyone but I was simply ignorant of your official rules," Stallone wrote in a letter to the judge.

Stallone, 60, was not in the court for the hearing, during which the judge was told the actor threw four vials of testosterone out of a Sydney hotel window during a later raid on his room by Customs officers. He will be sentenced on Monday.

Government prosecutor David Agius told the court Stallone's actions suggested an awareness he had broken the law.

But Boulten said Stallone was taking hormone under doctors' supervision for a medical condition not revealed in court or in Stallone's letter.

"This is not some back alley body builder dealing covertly with some banned substance in some sort of secret way," he said.

Stallone said he felt terrible his unintentional breach of customs laws had "set a poor example to members of the public whose opinion I cherish dearly", adding he enjoyed his trip despite his brush with the law.

"It was a hard learned lesson and an eye-opener that the world is a complex society and knowing the rules of your intended destination is of paramount importance," Stallone wrote.

"I wish to express my deepest remorse and again apologize for my actions."

The Australian Customs Service charged Stallone with two counts of importing a prohibited item when he was detained at Sydney airport on February 16.

Customs said the 48 vials of prohibited human growth hormone were found in his luggage. The maximum fine for the offence is A$110,000 (US$91,600).

Stallone left Australia on February 19, after a three-day visit to promote his new film, Rocky Balboa, bound for Thailand to shoot his latest Rambo movie.
