According to Variety, Lindsay Lohan will star in a romantic comedy, “Labor Pains,”as an assistant, working in a stuffy publishing house, who pretends to be pregnant in a desperate attempt to keep her nasty boss from firing her.

Lara Shapiro is directing; Chris Parnell, Cheryl Hines, Luke Kirby and Connie Britton also star.

Pic will shoot in Burbank.

Pic gives Lohan a chance to regain her footing after recent bumps and dips in her career and life. The actress, who recently guested on ABC’s “Ugly Betty,” said she loved the script. “It is a very different role for me and I look forward to the challenges it will present, and I love working on comedies.”
