Three BIG cheers for GEORGE CLOONEY, who’s throwing a lifeline to doom-plagued wild child LINDSAY LOHAN as she spirals down into Hellfire! George and LiLo aren’t close friends – they met in a restaurant years ago with Lindsay’s pathetic mom-ager DINA, who outrageously told him she was her daughter’s assistant, so he wouldn’t think she was old – but now he’s suddenly sympathetic, responding to LiLo’s highly-publicized “desperately seeking work” plea.
Said my source: “George told me Lindsay’s agent had contacted him about casting her in his film company’s next production. And he said, ‘I would work with her. She’s talented and she could use a break – Lord knows I’ve gotten enough of them.’ ”
Clooney pledged he’ll go to bat for Lindsay with insurance companies who believe she’s a bad risk – and he’s actively looking for a project that could include her, sometime in the next year. “
George always liked Lindsay’s acting chops – he says she’s preternaturally gifted,” said the source.
“And he hates seeing how people in Hollywood get kicked around and end up as bait in a shark tank. He’d like to give Lindsay a hand up.”
(We’ll tell the world if you do, pal.)
