While Lindsay Lohan tries to form a friendship with Hilary Duff, we have some newsies on their upcoming film together, Bad Girls.

MTV is still lagging in its search for a director while Raise Your Voice's Sean McNamara is a no-go. But on to more interesting news.

Producers are still rolling ahead with negotiations with the girls, despite what their reps might tell you. Hilary's camp is in a huff over mentions of drugs and abortion in Alex McAuley's book that the film is based on, which means MTV is busy stripping the script of any references.

Meanwhile, Lindsay might sign on with a significantly lower figure than her $7 million asking price, meaning we might be forced to sit through a Stuff by Hilary Duff licensing deal rip off while she makes up for lost cash.
