You can't keep a good woman down. Or can you? Just when it looked as though Lindsay Lohan had exhausted the last drop of goodwill left in Hollywood for her she nabbed the lead in an upcoming biopic about Deep Throat - and I don't mean the Watergate informant -- star Linda Lovelace, according to E's Marc Malkin.
Lohan's photographer friend Tyler Shields confirmed to E that she has signed on to play the hardcore porn star in the Matthew Wilder helmed Inferno, with an official announcement to be made later this month at the Cannes Film Festival, according to Gossipcop.
Wilder's directing resume includes one feature, 2008's Your Name Here, which starred Bill Pullman, Taryn Manning and former porn star Traci Lords.
The news that Lindsay landed a job could not come at a better time as the fledgling starlet was recently dropped from the movie The Other Side, which will star Woody Harrelson, Alanis Morisette and Giovanni Ribisi. At least now she'll just be dropping her pants, or to her knees to portray Lovelace.

Deep Throat was widely considered to be the first mainstream triple X porn film, thereby lifting the art form out of the gutter and elevating it to an edgy Saturday night out for swinger couples, according to the documentary Inside Deep Throat.
Loveless, who became an anti porn acitivist after leaving the business, died in 2002 at age 53 from injuries related to a car accident, according to E.
Lindsay, who hasn't starred in a theatrical release since the critically-panned 2007 flop I Know Who Killed Me, recently wrapped production of the Robert Rodriguez-directed Machette.
Cheers to Lindsay for landing a job and fingers crossed she's not doing research for a full-on career move.
