Lindsay Lohan: 'One Night With You' Role In Jeopardy Over Jewelry Theft Accusations: Report

Don't call it a comeback -- Lindsay Lohan may lose the part in her own comeback story.

Lohan, who as far back as 2009 was in talks to play a thinly veiled version of her troubled starlet self in producer Richard O'Sullivan's film 'One Night With You,' may be in danger of losing the part thanks to her latest troubles, Richard Johnson's Flash reports in The Daily (iPad-only).

The star, who just recently left a three month stint of rehab -- which had troubles and allegations of its own -- was accused on Tuesday night of stealing a necklace from a Los Angeles jewelry store. Though the necklace was later returned by a Lohan associate, she's under investigation by the LAPD, and if they find wrongdoing, she could be headed back to jail -- and out of the film.

More jail time would mean no screen time, making even more real the character she is tentatively due to play. "This is her Mickey Rourke comeback," Johnson quotes an insider as saying, referencing the thinly veiled allegorical film 'The Wrestler,' that launched once-troubled Rourke back to stardom. "She's not going to find a better script to put her back into lovable 'Mean Girls' territory.'"

Last fall, an internet rumor surfaced that had Taylor Swift replacing Lohan in the film, though Swift later shot that down.

Seems that many find her as annoying as Sarah Palin. I'm not sure that they're wrong.

Lindsay might be annoying but she isn't damaging this country and leading her lemmings off a cliff like P@lin is.

She needs to lose the ponytail and the aviator sunglasses.

Is it wrong to want Sharia law to only apply to Lindsay Lohan in North America?

Oh gawd, she's just going to keep pulling shenanigans until someone gives her real consequences. Long term prison sentencing and REAL rehab, not Hollywood rehab. And then hopefully she'll wisen up and realize she's not the great actress her mom thinks she is and go get an education and stay out of the limelight.

This is good publicity for the movie. They should hold the start date for sticky fingers.

Back to jail again? Jail must be starting to feel like old home week for LL.

"Comeback"? It's a sure sign your career's in the toilet when all you can play is a parody of yourself.
