Lindsay Lohan might soon be making a move to "The Canyons." According to the film's screenwriter, Bret Easton Ellis, she has just nabbed the leading role in the flick, set to shoot this summer.

"James Deen and Lindsay Lohan will star in THE CANYONS," Ellis tweeted about the actors. Deen is best known for his work in adult films. The film will be directed by Paul Schrader. "And I am beyond thrilled that James Deen and Lindsay Lohan will be playing the parts of Christian and Tara in THE CANYONS by BEE."

Filming for "The Canyons" will begin next month. Currently Lohan is shooting the Lifetime Elizabeth Taylor biopic, "Liz & Dick," and is also embroiled in a new spat of troubles tied to an L.A.-area car accident. However, Ellis remained optimistic about the casting when he added, "Could not have dreamed of a better cast. Lindsay nailed it."

A rep for the actress could not confirm that Lohan would be appearing the flick when MTV News reached out for comment.

According to a poster for the film, the tagline is "It's not 'The Hills,' " a reference to the popular MTV reality show that followed the glamorized lives of Lauren Conrad and her pals. This is expected to be a grittier take on young people and their struggles in Hollywood.

Indiewire reports that Deen's Christian is a "trust fund kid, power player and major manipulator, who is a film producer that enjoys filming his own three-way sex sessions." Meanwhile, Lohan's ex-model character, Tara, is his girlfriend who "has sold her pride for the material comforts Christian can provide." Three other roles remain uncast: bartender and wannabe actor Ryan, Ryan's employee and fellow actor Gina, and former actress/yoga instructor Lindsay, who is carrying on an affair with Christian.

"The Canyons" recently got funded through a Kickstarter initiative. The film will get a video-on-demand release sometime in the future.

Apple next-generation MacBook Pro (with Retina display) eyes-on at WWDC 2012

Apple nextgeneration MacBook Pro with Retina display eyeson at WWDC 2012

Heh -- rumor didn't have this one! We just wrapped our eyes around Apple's new 15.4-inch "next-generation" MacBook Pro here at WWDC 2012, and while it was under lock and key, it doesn't take a touch to see that this thing is devilishly thin. For all intents and purposes, this is the 15-inch MacBook Air that many have been waiting for. Gone is the optical drive, and in are two USB 3.0 ports, two Thunderbolt sockets (side-by-side, instead of one on each edge), a full-size HDMI socket, a 3.5mm headphone port and an SD card slot. Oh, and a MagSafe 2 power connector. On one hand, it's great to see Apple finally embracing USB 3.0; on the other, it's obvious by the duo of Thunderbolt sockets that it'd prefer use those. Whatever the case, the new Pro is quite the looker, and we're guessing Apple won't have any issues moving too many of these beauts -- even at $2,199 (and up).

Unfortunately, there's no new Pro sitting around outside of a case, but you can enjoy a few glass-enclosed glamor shots in the gallery below.

Clueless in America

The locals turned out to greet about 30 returning soldiers who were in Afghanistan. Children shook hands. Flags were waved. Some cheered the U.S.A. Some gave thanks. Some saluted. The lads, dressed in camouflaged wear, were all smiles. Not a huge turnout by the looks of it, but surely representative of a segment of clueless [...]
