The Weekly Wizard: BBC3 Call in Hollywood Actress, but what have India done to deserve this?

1211_lindsay_lohan_india_4190513_fame_exc1Hollywood actress and troubled starlet, Lindsay Lohan, will investigate child trafficking in India for a BBC3 documentary (the designing intelligence that gave us Freaky Eaters, My Man Boobs and Me, and Fuck Off, I’m Fat). And no, this is not a dippy film script or Paris Hilton-style reality TV show. It’s serious stuff dontcha know. Lindsay Lohan in India will follow Lohan as she meets children forced into sweat shops and prostitution, as well as former traffickers.

In December, the 23-year-old actress spent a week in India where, according to the BBC <http://www.bbc.co.uk/tv/comingup/lindsay-lohan-in-india/> , she visited “a shelter where young girls promised domestic work for India’s burgeoning middle classes were trafficked into brothels and forced into prostitution.”

The actress also took to Twitter while abroad to share one of her “lifelong dreams” with her followers.

“Over 40 children saved so far… Within one day’s work… This is what life is about… Doing THIS is a life worth living!!!” she tweeted December 9th. “Focusing on celebrities and lies is so disconcerting, when we can be changing the world one child at a time…. hope everyone can see that.” We see that Lindsay. Why would anyone focus on celebrities, write about their travels around the world - their interest in child trafficking and prostitution - and then perhaps, lets’ say, air it on television?

Blakeway Productions (part of the 3BM Television and Ten Alps TV group) will produce the documentary as part of BBC3’s new line-up of factual and current affairs programmes.

    I have visited your site and I would like to thank for posting such a valuable info. I am sure your visitors find your site as useful as I did.

    Your point being? You could say the same about Kevin McCloud of Ch4’s Grand Designs visiting Mumbai’s slums, Gordon Ramsay cooking in the poor parts of India. This is Slumdog season it appears, and rather than just make a documentary, put a celebrity in it who may otherwise have little interest in the subject. Kevin McCloud didn’t go to look at design, he went to look at culture, an interesting insight nevertheless. I’m sure Lindsay has huge compassion when she sees what’s in front of her, anyone would. It’s a genre, it’ll pass.

    Ha. Yes. Hollywood actress. I wonder if BBC3 could have tempted Angelina Jolie or the likes? I’m sure she would want to do it, but would her schedule allow it? Plus, does she know who BBC3 are even? The channel are falling into ITV2 territory. Oh dear.

    McLoud knows about ‘grand designs’ though Andy, wherever they are in the world. I think the point being made is that why was Lohan picked by the BBC for something she ins’t typically linked with.

  6. Bobby Chwio says:

    What is r movie talking about? Has this Lindsey Lohan thing been on yet?

  7. Excellent work buddy, keep writing.
