Ever since the day it was announced, "Chapter 27” has been one of the most controversial projects in Hollywood. Now, with this exclusive peek at its brand-new poster, we get our best look yet at the identity-consuming acting efforts of Jared Leto.

'Chapter 27'

To portray infamous John Lennon murderer Mark David Chapman, Leto gained 60 pounds, doing near-irreparable damage to his body through a regimen of every bad-for-you food he could get his hands on. The film co-stars Lindsay Lohan as a groupie hanging around Lennon's residence on the day he gets shot. Read more...

Lindsay LohanArticle by Gil Kaufman

Our own Larry Carroll gave us a preview of the 2007 Golden Raspberry Award nominees a few weeks ago from his insider perspective as a Razzies voter, tipping us off to the fact that the 28th annual awards might be the only chance for Lindsay Lohan to get any hardware this year. With the official nominations now out, Lohan leads with nine, thanks to the box office mega-bomb “I Know Who Killed Me,” not to be outdone by Eddie Murphy, who was close behind with eight nods for his latest we-get-it-you’re-funny-in-a-fat-suit-and-drag snoozer, “Norbit.”

Lohan, who scored the first-ever twofer in the Worst Actress category (one for each twin she played in the movie), will face off against Murphy for Worst Screen Couple (each playing opposite themselves), and her flick also notched nods for Worst Excuse for a Horror Movie, Worst Screenplay, Worst Director and Worst Remake or Rip-off.

Lindsay LohanOne of the best parts of being an entertainment journalist is getting a vote in the annual Golden Raspberry Awards, and this year's nominees once again offer a welcome opportunity to strike back at all the really, really bad movies we had to sit through in the past year.

The 28th annual nominations are led by free-falling film star Lindsay Lohan, whose "I Know Who Killed Me" landed her nominations as both Worst Actress and Worst Screen Couple (since she played twins in the flick). Topping her, however, is Eddie Murphy in "Norbit," nominated for Worst Actor (as his character Norbit), Worst Supporting Actor (as Mr. Wong), Worst Supporting Actress (as Rasputia) and Worst Screen Couple. Could Murphy follow up last year's Oscar nomination with a sweep of acting Razzies? Read more...
