p.s. everyone always talks about her style and beauty and sex appeal, does anyone ever talk about her movie career, talk about her as a person and not a toy??? I doubt it, most of you are clouded by the wrong idea of marilyn monroe.

To those who have or will write such negative things. i dont think someone should insult others for trying or not trying to be something/one they aren't. there are thousands if not more people in the world who are trying to find themselves, or aspire to be as great as someone was. no one in this world is original. everything we know was progressed or made better for our convenience by someone who tried to be like their heroes, or the ones they thought were so 'perfect'. you can be yourself, even if you imitate another. plus marilyn monroe wasn't original. her influences were lana turner and jean harlow. (She signed with the agency and began researching the work of famous actresses Jean Harlow and Lana Turner. Monroe enrolled in drama and singing classes and had her hair cut, straightened and lightened to golden blonde.[31) --look marilyn monroe on wikipedia.com and read under the early years...) i mean i and others imitate something we are not every year!! ever hear of halloween.ever hear of vegas? no ones trying to destroy the image of marilyn monroe or take it away!!!

To those who believe that bert stern is broke/desperate/senile just look on ebay and you will see that "The original Complete last sitting sells on ebay for approx USD 110 and it is currently out of print. If bert stern was broke, he could simply re-print it. and why are you people so upset that Lindsey Lowhan "is not marilyn" let me remind you that lowan may be troubled, but she has not topped herself yet, so give her some credit. And would you attack some Elvis impersonator in the same way you are attacking lowan. You are huddled in the box room of your tiny suburban homes furiously typing away at the keyboard venting your anger at a talented young actress who had the courage to accept a controversial offer from a very famous photographer who thinks she has what it takes.

First of all Lindsey is no where near the status of Marilyn Monroe and never will be. It is a insult to the late Marilyn that she could even fathom resembling her. WHY IS THIS GIRL FAMOUS? She has no talent! The only thing shes good at is snorting lines and smoking 3 packs of Marlboro reds a day. I am outraged as a Marilyn Monroe fan that these pictures even went to print.

She is lovely. I know us women are catty...but ladies, lets stop being so jealous of her. I mean come on now...Go to the gym, put on some make-up..feel glamorous. Maybe then you will stop hating those who are beautiful.. Go ahead and comment and say youre not jealous---I'm sure thats not the reason you hate her ;) Cheers

i believe that marilyn monroe is amazing and lindsay lohan has not even came close to the status that marilyn monroe was at...marilyn is classy and elegant and lindsay is just nasty and looks like a man in these pictures..and is trying way too hard to be sexy while marilyn is effortlessy sexy at everything she does

This is unreal! What would make her Lindsay Lohan think that she is an any way compariable to Marilyn Monroe? Why would she be the one chosen for this photo shoot? How desperate is she? No one will ever come close to Marilyn Monroe, her beauty, her acting abilities, or her legend.

I totally agree with the first sentence of Hawk's comment. Lindsay Lohan is no Marilyn Monroe. She, Lohan, is far prettier and substantially more normal. Her NY Magazine photo shoot is one she should have done several years ago, and should repeat regularly. Despite her personal problems (likely we all fight our own private demons), she is a talented actress and a very beautiful woman.

Well this is quite pathetic. Those wigs are just so trashy. Even I might look better than Lindsay. Monroe did actually have beauty, but she was was weak and ended up just being a loser. If Lindsay wanted to be a star, she would stand on her own merits, if she has any. Why do women try to emulate past movie stars? You will never be like them, you can't be them, only they are themselves, and only you can be yourself. Only losers try to be something that they are not, and in the process forsake themselves.

Every time I see pictures of this broad, she always has this glassed look on her face like she just got gangbanged and put away wet.

As far as cliche celeb behaviour goes, gratuitous nudity beats drunken, unstable motherhood or accidental overdoses any day,as far as I'm concerned. Could someone please suggest this to Scarlett Johanssen? Thanks.

On the upside, Lindsay is no longer emaciated.

this is just fucking boring. After 45+ years of Marilyn Imitations, how can a photog suggest to a model to pose like Marilyn. Everyone's done it. Christina aquilara did it, paris hilton did it, Nicole kidman does it this month and now LL and it never stops! This is the magazine publishing world's equivalent of going to Kmart and taking a family photo with a goulish homemade knit sweater. STOP IT!

I, for one, appreciate Lohan's new photos.

Marilyn Monroe looks like she has nice skin. Lindsay Lohan's skin looks like it has been ravaged by the sun. While Monroe looks glamorous, Lindsay looks awkward and chunky. Also is that a wig she is wearing? Because it is hideous.

What a weird act of desperation by Stern. Is he broke? Just needs attenton? What?

isn't she supposed to be like 22 or something? Why does she have the complexion of a catchers mitt?

Perhaps she's planning to sleep with the president and then kill herself? I hope she doesn't, of course.

Message to Lohan: you are no Marilyn Monroe. The similarity ends with gender. Get over yourself.
