Lindsay Lohan bares all — no, really — for the cover of New York magazine's Spring fashion issue. Photographer Bert Stern re-created his famous final photoshoot with Marilyn Monroe, making yet another bold comparison between the two actresses. Just like in the original shoot, the blonde bombshell in front of the camera (LL wore a wig) stripped down to nothing. We've got the more safe photos compiled here, but check out the NY mag site for all the NSFW glory. I know that LL loves her body, but I was still a little shocked to wake up and see this. As for why she went along with it, Lindsay said it was a no brainer, "I didn’t have to put much thought into it. I mean, Bert Stern? Doing a Marilyn shoot? When is that ever going to come up? It’s really an honor." Lohan on the Marilyn painting hanging in her house:
"It’s eerie,” Lohan said of the painting, a Christmas gift, “because it’s this picture of her, and it’s kind of cartoony, and there’s a big bottle of pills next to her, and they’ve fallen over.” Lohan called Monroe’s suicide “tragic,” and then added, elliptically, “You know, it’s also tragic what just recently happened to someone else.” I asked whether she was referring to Heath Ledger. She nodded: “They are both prime examples of what this industry can do to someone.” Why some and not others, I asked, since it has often seemed that the thrice-rehabbed Lohan might meet a similar fate. Lohan replied with a flicker of annoyance: “I don’t know. I’m not them. But I sure as hell wouldn’t let it happen to me.”
Lindsay Lohan seems pretty confident in the control she has over herself so fingers crossed all those rumors about her drinking again don't mean she's headed back down a bad path. Let's just hope that LL keeps her Marilyn Monroe imitation to photoshoots, paintings, and racy rumors.

UGH. Marilyn Monroe she is NOT. She doesn't even compare.
1WHY?!?!?
MM seemed so classy and devoted to her art. LL seems so trashy and unworthy of this distinction.
And I am tired of seeing all these girls flashing their goodies. I know that half of the free world has already seen it, but I wish they would keep SOMETHING to themselves.
2Marilyn had curves and was very feminine and sexy... LL definitely does not fit the bill!
3I agree... low ball impression... Anna Nicole was a better tribute to MM than LL is... and that says a lot!
4ScarJo looks more like Marilyn than Lilo. I don't like it.
5
where are the curves?
6disgusting, more the people who allow her to think she is something specialshe is not
7She doesn't have Marilyn's body.
They should have airbrushed some curves.
Her people are obviously trying to reassociate her with a more classic image, but her real life doesn't match the image they are trying to create and she was never this mega talented, charismatic actress, so there's not much they can do.
8Lindsay looks incredible!!!
9There can only be one Marilyn! She looks bad and not like Marilyn!
10MM classy??!? yeah ok, if you mean being a booze hound drug addict who slept with the president in the bed his wife slept in, and also sleeping with his brother, and having multiple abortions classy then ok sure

12Ugh....look at the effects of tanning beds on her skin.... She looks 50, not 20
13hmmm...i never pictured ms. marilyn monroe to be a dirty hag.
oh and i love the New York magazine, but this is one issue I won't be buying or reading at all!

15Ew, whats wrong with LL's skin? She looks gross, more like a lizard than Marilyn. I would rather see Scarlette for a marilyn inspired photoshoot.
16What's up with her line about "I sure as hell wouldn't let it happen to me." ?? Yikes, Linds... Might wanna filter a bit.
17the pictures in people.com she looks like she has panty hose on to cover her ugly legs
18IMHO that's an insult to Marlyn Monroe to compare LL to her. But eh, what do I know. I agree that Scarlett would/could look much more like MM.
19Ugh, definitely not a worthy comparison. Not only are they two different body types, but Lindsay is completely lacking the mystique and vulnerability of Marilyn, as well as the underlying talent.
20linds people really set her up for faliure, with this one
21I agree with Shopaholichunny, she doesn't compare to Marilyn
22She is not even close to MM !!!! Ugly.
23These photos are not good. Well, the photography is good, Lindsay is not. I HATE that she compares herself to Marilyn Monroe. What is the comparison??????? LL is a drug addict, well that does compare! But come on! Stripping down nude is only a cry for attention. And that is all this media wh*re wants, is attention. She bugs the sh*t out of me!!!!!!!!!! Go away LL, no one cares.
24Ewww! Is she really stooping that low? I get the concept as it's a privilege to be photographed by the same photographer - but it's basically the same as posing for Playboy. At least "Puffin" would make sure she looked great. She looks desperate for attention. Her career is DEAD! No one wants her to star in their movie because: 1)She's a coke wh*re, 2)The risks of her not showing up are high and 3) They are more talented people out there who are appreciative of what they have/get and wouldn't f*ck it up. These nude shots will only make her more of a laughingstock and a slut. I mean, it's not like we've never seen her privates, but still. Getting naked doesn't necessarily mean that it's sexy or provocative. Oh, well. I wouldn't be surprised if she poses for Playboy in the next few years as it's the only thing she's doing nowadays - which are photo shoots. She has nothing to promote yet she's whoring herself out for the sake of being mentioned and being on a magazine cover. Sadly, all of these photo shoots are vulgar, like the one where she's giving the bird. Loser!
25this is one of the most pathetic attempts to stay famous that i have ever seen...
she will be in playboy by the end of the year.
like ive said... washed up child actress with absolutly no talent
wh*re

27Just do Playboy already, because thats where you're headed anyway. Or would Hugh not have you?
28wow, these pix are pretty gross! Was everyone involved in this shoot blinded at the time....heck, even now
29*flipping the bird
Anyway, I can't believe this chick is only older than me in 5 months. She looks old, greasy and used. Eww!
30She looks so much older than she is. Why do otherwise pretty young women wreck their skin?
31Have I ever mentioned that I cannot stand Lindsay Lohan? Just in case, I hate LL. She is nasty and this is laughable!
32I am absolutely appalled by this. Lindsay Lohan symbolizes all that is low and tasteless in new hollywood and comparing her to the legend that is Marilyn Monroe is just wrong. I think this photographer just shot himself in the foot for going along with this project. Terrible, just terrible.
And for those who actualy think she "looks beautiful" or that this shoot is artistic in any way...you have PLENTY to learn.
33I like these photos by themselves, kind of. Her skin looks odd, but that might be the film.
She cannot compare to Marilyn Monroe. No one can.
34She is so NOT Marilyn... moving on.
35It always surprises me when people are all, "Nobody can compare to Marilyn Monroe" and "She's untouchable" and so forth. She wasn't exactly a paradigm of chastity, that one.
36I agree with LegalBeagle. This is just the step before she does Playboy. She can't impress anyone with her "talent" so she's getting naked.
37Geez, I know recycling is good for the planet but come on. Get your own iconic moment(s).
38Gross. All she has going for her are her boobs and eh... ScarJo would have done MM justice and her boobs are better, too!
39Well, with me, I wasn't referring to "chastity" and what not. I could care less about that. However, she was iconic, and no one, especially Lindsay Lohan, can match that.
40I truly am embarrassed for Ms. Hohan. She looks like crap in these photos - not sexy or pretty. Is Bert Stern hard up for money that he would disgrace MM's memory this way or is he just senile?
41Trashy!
42I'm really surprised at all the "Ew... her skin is gross" comments. Her skin isn't gross, it's just not airbushed beyond oblivion. That's what real skin with real freckles actually looks like. I'm just pleased that for once she let them show her freckles, since she almost never does.
43What an insult! Comparing Hohan to Marilyn Monroe is just so wrong. UGH!!
44i really dont like this spread. i dont like it when celebs try to recreate something or someone that you just can't. give it up christina, scarlette, and now lindsay... you dont compare to marilyn. sorry.
45I just wish people would stop buying tis tras and she'd go away. She hasn't made a good movie in like Ever and the reason she's still famous is because she does this kind of crap. She doesn't have enough talent to deserve this much attention.
46I think Lindsay is beautiful, but NOT with her skin like that!
47If those pics were done when she had her natural pale skin, I think she would look great.
Her face still has the "tan mustache", and Marilyn definitely didn't have that!
Otherwise, I think she looks great. Now GO BACK TO WORK Lindsay!
I actually like her freckles. But she's not all that skinny anymore. Especially in that shot where she's on the bed. I don't find it flattering.
48wow, the second pix is oddly unflattering. wonder why she okayed that. the first pix is nice. everyone does the marilyn thing, i think even lindsay has done it before.
49And now she might as well do Playboy. Although I'm not sure Hef would find her attractive enough. I don't know what Maxim was thinking....
