[PRODUCER'S PERSPECTIVE: putting together one of Wednesday morning's SKINNY stories]

It appears that Lindsay Lohan's next gig may just come in the form of a porn star! The producer of the upcoming film "Inferno" plans to make the announcment at the Cannes Film Festival later next week. (LINK).

Obviously we jump on any chance to talk about LiLo in the SKINNY. To visually tell this story, I just pulled a framegrab of an online article (this time from NY Daily News), plus pulled in file footage of Lindsay Lohan. Pretty simple. Now is this a smart move for Lohan? We'll see!

[PRODUCER'S PERSPECTIVE: putting together one of Wednesday morning's SKINNY stories]

In the SKINNY last week, Britney Spears allowed before & after pictures to be released from her 2009 Candie's photo shoot (LINK).

 I gathered the images from the online article and had graphics scroll through them. As video, I had Spears' "Circus" music video ready to go.

[PRODUCER'S PERSPECTIVE: putting together Tuesday morning's lead SKINNY story]

 There were a couple stories worth leading the SKINNY this morning (we missed out on the 'Bombshell' McGee apology to Sandra Bullock)... but the challenge is when you look online for ideas the night before, there may be too few facts or supporting media (interviews, pictures, video, etc.).

 In this case, TMZ was leading with the Steven Seagal sex allegation that one of his young employees was being treated as a "sex toy."

There were legal documents in PDF format which I used along with Seagal's headshot to illustrate the story... but what was lacking were video elements.

Since this story was still developing (and continues to be on TMZ's homepage: LINK), I opted to use a 2009 "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" interview with the actor. Not the best option, but it worked.

Here's the final product... [click play]
