Lindsay Lohan has landed a role in a new movie! Lindsay has joined an indie fantasy comedy called The Other Side.

Lindsay will star in The Other Side with Woody Harrelson (Cheers, No Country for Old Men), who previously co-starred with Lindsay in A Prairie Home Companion. Also co-starring are Giovanni Ribisi, Dave Matthews and Alanis Morissette. Kent Harper is producer and David Michaels is director; Harper says of Lindsay:

“Lindsay’s very aware of people’s perceptions of her. She’s really committed to doing what she has to in order to change that.”

The Other Side is about a grad student who spends her summer working at a scientific institute on a remote island. There, she discovers an eccentric community who are hiding the a secret tragedy that took place many years before.

Filming for The Other Side is scheduled to begin in October on an island off the coast of Massachusetts.

At this week’s launch of Lindsay Lohan’s Sevin Nyne tanning mist, E! caught up with her to ask how she’s doing after the break-up with Samantha Ronson.

Lindsay admits that April was a “hard month” and that she’s doing her best to move on both personally and professionally. She continues to insist that sheremains in touch with Samantha Ronson, saying “we’re friends,” which must be hard to do.

Lindsay talks about the amazing support she has in her family, particularly in sister Ali Lohan, who was at the launch. She says they’ve been through a lot, in their family, and they take care of each other. Lindsay said:

“I’m doing great. I’m very happy.”

Lindsay Lohan also came to her own defense of the too-skinny rumors that picked right back up again after the Hawaii bikini pics:

“I like the way I look”

Lindsay says she’s in final negotiations for a film that will start filming this October. She wouldn’t hand over details, but says the project is close to being signed. Lindsay also confirmed that she’s returning to the studio, and has named Pharrell as a producer she’d like to work with (if he’d talk with her, so let’s go encourage him!).

In continuation to the first part of the interview that Lindsay Lohan had with Access Hollywood, here is part 2 of that interview. Lindsay starts out this part of the interview talking about the difference between living in NY vs LA, particularly when it comes to the paparazzi:

Lindsay Lohan also talks about her next album, ‘Spirit in the Dark,’ which was originally slated to come out this month. However, Lindsay admits that she put the album on hold. In past albums, she’d rushed through finishing them, and didn’t want to do that here. She felt like juggling filming and music was too much, so waited for the right time to return to her album (which is now):

“I want to be able to focus and balance my life, so I can enjoy each thing as I do it and as it comes.”

Lindsay seems excited about her album, which is good to see. Lindsay also talks a bit about Labor Pains and about recovering her reputation as an actress. She says she loved working on the film. Lindsay also mentions how what she went through has made her a better and happier person now.

Above is the rumored CD cover for Lindsay Lohan’s upcoming album, entitled ‘Spirit in the Dark’. The CD, although not yet up for pre-order on Amazon, is supposed to come out in November.

The official launch date for the album has been rumored as November 4th. I’ll keep you posted!

If this is the real cover for the new album, what do you think about it?

I have been unable to confirm this, but it may be that Lindsay Lohan’s single “Playground” has been leaked. Here is a video that reportedly is the full track:

Note: a few instances of this video have been deleted quickly, so listen while you can!

“Playground” is the first official track that will be released for Lindsay Lohan’s upcoming album, “Spirit in the Dark“. The track “Bossy” was a teaser track, and will not be promoted as aggressively nor with a music video.

The track “Playground” features Pharrell Williams.

What do you think - is this a real track?

Ne-Yo has issued a public apology to Lindsay Lohan. Although Ne-Yo has already made a statement to the press apologizing for doubting Lindsay’s musical abilities, he has done so again.

Ne-Yo worked with Lindsay Lohan on her buzz track, “Bossy“. He thought the track would suck and the album would suck, but Lindsay blew him away. He wanted to apologize to Lindsay for not believing in her.

“[It's a] quality record,” Ne-Yo continued. “One that I didn’t think she was going to be able to pull off. Again, I will admit that. Straight up and down. I had to eat my words. I tried to call her and apologize for the assumption.”

Out of curiosity, I wanted to see our our Lohan girls were doing after the release of their tracks. Both girls had early success, it seems, rising up the charts. It’s hard to compare the two directly, since we have no official counts of downloads of either digital release and sales ranks diminish with time, but I know there was positive press for both releases. Ali’s track went a little higher on the iTunes popularity list, but dropped off of it quite quickly. Here are the quick stats:

Lindsay Lohan "Bossy"

• Release date: May 27, 2008
• iTunes position peak: 55
• iTunes rating of 3.5 stars: 66 reviews
• Amazon sales ranking: #5,142

Ali Lohan "All The Way Around"

• Release date: July 14, 2008
• iTunes position peak: 46
• iTunes rating of 4 stars: 14 reviews
• Amazon sales ranking: #2,547
