While You Were Busy Hating Lindsay Lohan, James Deen Decided to Like Her

One year ago, Congress defunded public media. Now that we're 100% community funded, please become a sustaining member or increase your existing membership today.

James Deen would like you to know that he, for one, is stoked to be working with Lindsay Lohan.

The porn star told E! News that regardless of what the tabloids say about the actress, he thinks she's totally talented and is looking forward to sharing the screen with her in Bret Easton Ellis' upcoming movie, "The Canyons."

"The only negative thing I've ever heard about her is in the press," Deen told E! News. "Honestly, everyone I know who's actually worked with her has nothing but nice things to say."

The movie is reportedly about a group of 20-somethings trying to make it in Hollywood, living in the Hills and fucking like rabbits.

One year ago, Congress voted to defund public media, eliminating a critical $1.7 million from our budget every year going forward. But they couldn’t silence us, and we’re not going anywhere. LAist is now 100% community funded and that means we’re taking our future into our own hands and turning to you to keep local reporting strong.
