Lindsay Lohan: Either she’s eating dinner with Jewish seniors or making movies with Jewish porn stars.

The problem-prone “Mean Girls” star is set to appear in a movie opposite X-rated Jewish “actor” James Deen, according to Bret Easton Ellis.

The “American Psycho” author has been raising money for a “micro-budget” film noir set in LA, which he apparently wrote for Deen, until now best-known for his appeal to porn watchers with a fetish for “nerdy Jewish dudes.” Now that Ellis and his partner on the project, “Raging Bull” screenwriter Paul Schrader, have raised $100,000, filming can begin July 9, according to Ellis’s Twitter feed.

Lohan, currently starring as Elizabeth Taylor in a made-for-TV movie, will play the female lead in the new film.

“Could not have dreamed of a better cast,” Ellis wrote on Twitter. “Lindsay nailed it…”
The new movie, called “The Canyons,” is described by the Hollywood Reporter as an “indie sexual thriller.” Deen, 26, who keeps the tallis from his bar mitzva in his bedroom, will play a “manipulative trust-fund kid with dreams of making a movie.” The role will mark his first in a mainstream film, but follows a long list of parts in adult movies.
