Actress Lindsay Lohan has officially signed to star in the movie Gotti: Three Generations, which has the script of Leo Ross. Earlier, it was reported that she was in talks to play John Gotti's daughter Victoria in the movie. But the producers have selected the Mean Girl star to reprise the role of John Gotti Jr.'s wife Kim.
Marc Fiore, the executive producer of Gotti: Three Generations, has confirmed her selection in a statement released to the US Weekly. He has also announced that Lindsay Lohan would be a part of the other production Mob Street, for which Chazz Palminteri is writing the screenplay.
"We're very pleased to have Lindsay on-board for both of these films. She has been very enthusiastic about the Gotti project, and after resuming discussions with her, we were impressed by her commitment to the film and felt she would be a perfect Kim Gotti," the US Weekly quotes Fiore's statement.
However, it was reported on 20th April that Lindsay Lohan was out of the project's negotiations. But the actress was out of the talks to play Victoria. "I'm really excited to be back on set and clear up all the misinterpretations about me and show this is what I love to do. I think it's such an iconic story. I'm honored to be working with John Travolta and Joe Pesci," The Associated Press reports Lohan telling.
John Travolta and Kelly Preston are said to be 'ecstatic' after learning they will welcome two babies into the world, it has emerged. The couple lost son Jett 16 months ago. He was 16.
A source close to the pair told America's Star magazine: “They were ecstatic when they thought they were having just one baby. Now that there will be two, they can barely contain their happiness. Kelly's having the time of her life looking at all the cute little outfits and toys online!”
Last week, Travolta, 56, and 47-year-old Preston – who also have a 10-year-old daughter Ella Bleu together – revealed that they were expecting a “new addition” to their brood, reports The Sydney Morning Herald.
Travolta wrote on his official website: “We want to be the first to share this great news with everyone that we are expecting a new addition to our family.” A source revealed: “Both she and John are absolutely over the moon - they knew in their hearts that the time was right for this to happen."
A former Bahamas senator accused of attempting to extort $25 million fromJohn Travolta has protested her innocence, telling a Nassau court she is"no devil".
Politician and lawyer Pleasant Bridgewater and paramedic Tarino Lightbourne are on trial in the Bahamas on charges of conspiracy to extort moneyfrom the grieving actor after his teenage son Jett suffered a fatal seizure in January (09).
The pair reportedly threatened to release a Refusal of TreatmentTransportation form, which the actor signed after requesting paramedics drive his son to the airport.
Travolta initially believed it would be faster to fly Jett to a hospital in Florida for treatment, but subsequently changedhis mind.
Bridgewater and Lightbourne supposedly planned to leak the document to the press, suggesting Travolta's actions had delayed treatment for his son.

The defendants appeared in court on Wednesday (14Oct09) but refused to take the witness stand, choosing instead to read prepared unsworn statements directly to the jury.
Bridgewater claimed she had been set up by Travolta's legal team and subjected to ridicule since the allegations arose earlier this year (09).
She stated, "I maintain my innocence. I will be the first to say I am no saint. But I am no devil".
Lightbourne also declared his innocence, insisting he had no idea what extortion was and is still unclear as to its meaning.
John Travolta's 16-year-old son has died.
Jett Travolta - who was vacationing with the Hairspray star and his wife, Kelly Preston, in the Caribbean - suffered a seizure at the family's vacation home at the Old Bahama Bay Hotel on Grand Bahama Island, Travolta attorney Michael Ossi said.
Jett was taken to Rand Memorial Hospital in Freeport, where he was pronounced dead upon arrival. An autopsy will be performed at the hospital.
Police spokesperson Loretta Mackey told TMZ that Jett hit his head on the bathtub. A caretaker named Jeff Michael Kathrain found Jett unconscious in the bathroom around 10 a.m.
Jett's body will be transferred to Restview Memorial Mortuary and Crematorium in The Bahamas on Monday, a Restview rep said.
Travolta and Preston - who married in 1991 - are also parents to Ella, 8.
It has previously been reported that Jett suffered from autism, which Travolta has denied - instead saying Jett is inflicted with Kawasaki Syndrome, which can lead to heart disease. In an interview with USA Today in 2002, Kelly recalled her son's diagnosis after he became "very, very sick with high fever and swollen glands and peeling fingers and rash all over his body" eight years earlier.
John, who named one of his many airplanes after his son, has said Jett loved "the outdoors - sports, swimming, bike riding, hiking."
