I don't think Hugh Hefner is telling the truth. The fact of the matter is, he probably wanted, desperately, to put nude photos of Lohan out there. The problem is, Lohan has already posed nude or nearly nude or upskirtedly nude or nude-by-accident.
No, what Hefner has a problem with is the fact that there's not a lot of interest in seeing her pretend to be Marilyn Monroe. We already have Michelle Williams doing that, and Michelle Williams was stunning and unforgettable. Lohan should have done something else, like, I don't know. A tribute to Farrah Fawcett. Or perhaps this:

Interest in Lohan is fading as well. Hefner, being a businessman first and what used to be called a gentlemanly pornographer way back when a distant second, knows that her celebrity is evaporating on a daily basis. She isn't in films, she does not realize that what she needs to do now is television, and nobody is helping her make good decisions. Do you know what would reinvigorate her career right now? One of two things--a sitcom where she is genuinely allowed to be funny or a show like Breaking Bad or True Blood where she can be interesting. Anything else is just trash.
And, no matter what. It is always creepy when a former child star poses nude. There's no getting around the perv factor. Speaking of that, I was ten in 1978, but the full impact of this poster lingered well into the 1980s. It is something that is impossible to forget, and for many of the right reasons and not so many of the wrong ones anymore.
