Though most people obsessed with Marilyn Monroe do their best to forget that she was a drug-addled, insecure mess who many powerful men took advantage of, Lindsay Lohan, Monroe's nakedest young fan, uses her new leggings line to give a refreshingly realistic nod to the original blond bombshell. At left is the "Mr President" style, which features built-in kneepads.

SELF-LOATHING ADDICT'S FAME ENDURES "Candid footage of Marilyn Monroe on the set of her last completed film brought in $60,000 at an auction of movie memorabilia Saturday. The two reels of silent, 8-millimeter color film shot on the set of 'The Misfits' had been expected to draw starting bids of between $10,000 and $20,000."

Despite the fact that celebrity clothing lines often fail with very public thuds, Lindsay Lohan, the girl with a problem for each one of her freckles, is going to go through with this wacky-ass leggings brand of hers.

Named 6126 after Marilyn Monroe's birthday, Lohan's leggings line looks just as ridiculous as it sounds, complete with oddly placed zippers, cashmere adornments and – oh dear! – kneepads.

If, unlike your friend who went to LA once, you don't already own a bajillion pairs of American Apparel leggings, go out and buy some 6126s and do in them as Marilyn would have: cheat on your husband with married men who don't love you and then zonk out on meds. Your brain won't be in place, but your thighs will.

Marilyn Monroe and Paris Hilton just got even more similar. Besides drugs, alcohol and hidden pain, America's two most famous blonds are said to share another burden: sex tapes. Yes, a recently uncovered movie allegedly showing Monroe giving oral sex to an unidentified male has sold to an anonymous New York businessman for $1.5 million, a hefty fee considering it's not even the original film but a duplicate slyly obtained by a Monroe documentarian some years ago. The original reel remains in the possession of the US government. In the 60s, the rabid J Edgar Hoover attempted in vain to prove that the man in the video with Monroe was either John F Kennedy or Robert F Kennedy, men slightly more accomplished than Internet casino baron Rick Salomon, Hilton's sex tape partner.

The New Yorker who acquired the copy says he is going to keep it under lock and key out of respect for Monroe.

Look, ma, no new ideas! Also: Why is Jessica Simpson still having cover stories written about her?

PRAISE XENU "Dina Lohan denies reports daughter Lindsay was approached by Playboy to recreate Marilyn Monroe's naked swim scene from Something’s Gotta Give. 'That [offer] never happened,' she tells Usmagazine.com. 'That would be a no.'"

Legendary photographer Bert Stern, perhaps most famous for shooting a soon-to-be-dead Marilyn Monroe in 1962 for a collection he titled The Last Sitting, has called on Lindsay Lohan to recreate his depressing but iconic masterwork. The outcome is nothing special and the comparison is flimsy, BUT: Lohan shows her boobs!

If someone has a Marilyn Monroe tattoo, no matter how pretty their eyes are, don't get involved. A Marilyn Monroe tattoo confirms that a person is either so demented that they idolize a pill-popping, alcoholic adulteress who killed herself, or that they're so stupid they take Hot Topic's word on shit. Either way, they're a liability come happy hour.
