'Uninsurable' Lindsay Lohan dropped from playing porn star Linda Lovelace in new movie
Lindsay Lohan's latest movie role has gone up in smoke.
Inferno director Matthew Wilder said he had been forced to drop the troubled actress from his film because of 'the impossibility of insuring her'.
But if the 24-year-old is upset over the move, she certainly didn't show it as she left the Betty Ford Centre last night to have dinner with friends.
Wearing a pair of tight black trousers, red booties and a floral shirt, the Herbie star looked back to heatlh.

She even raised her sunglasses at one point to give a big smile, her complexion glowing.

The director's decision comes just three months after Wilder promised to stand by Lohan and rubbished reports she was being replaced.
'Even if Angelina Jolie wanted the role we would be sticking with Lindsay Lohan,' he had said.
Lohan, 24, had been set to play porn star Linda Lovelace in Inferno and was originally supposed to start filming the movie this month.
The biopic, charting Lovelace's success at launching the XXX industry, had been tipped at the starlet's chance of a comeback after years of legal woes and B-list film roles.
But yesterday, Wilder confirmed he had withdrawn Lohan's offer after an LA judge ordered the actress to complete an extended stay in rehab.
'We are withdrawing our offer from Lindsay Lohan,' the director said.
'We have stuck by Lindsay very patiently for a long time with a lot of love and support.
'Ultimately the impossibility of insuring her - and some other issues - have made it impossible for us to go forward.'
Wilder added that he is already lined up another 'amazing' actress to take Lohan's place.
'We are currently in negotiations and working out the legalities of bringing her on board,' he said.
Lohan is currently undergoing treatment for substance abuse at the Betty Ford rehab clinic in Rancho Mirage, California.
Asked about being dropped from the Inferno role, her spokesperson said: 'Lindsay is dedicated to her recovery and together they decided to move forward without her.'
The Mean Girls star has been in court ordered rehabilitation at the Betty Ford Centre in Rancho Mirage, California since October 22.
She is being treated for an addiction to cocaine.
After failing a drug test Lohan narrowly escaped jail time for a probation violation stemming from her 2007 DUI arrest.
She has been ordered to stay in rehab until January 3.
