Here are some new photos of Lindsay Lohan in New York yesterday. Maybe she thinks she’ll have better luck in the New York clubs than she’s been having in LA? I don’t know. Has anyone else noticed that Lindsay’s outfits have been even more awful lately though? It’s like she’s been photographed in 80s-style stirrup pants for the past month. And the belly-baring shirts just look cheesy, like she cut up a cheap shirt and tried to make it look “sexy”. Anyway…

The Guardian is reporting the rumor that Quentin Tarantino wants to work with Lindsay. They call her a perfect candidate, considering her acting career is in the toilet and Tarantino specializes in actors who need a second chance.

If reports are to be believed, Lohan made such an impression on the set of Machete – the film based on the fake trailer from the start of Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez’s misstep Grindhouse – that Tarantino is currently cooking up a “shocking, hardcore” part for her in a forthcoming project that will instantly propel her back into the big league.

Because that’s something that Quentin Tarantino is quite good at. Everybody knows what Pulp Fiction did for John Travolta, dragging him away from Kirstie Alley and the talking babies, and making him a genuine box-office proposition again. Similarly, Jackie Brown brought Pam Grier back into the spotlight, and Kill Bill made David Carradine and, to a lesser extent, Uma Thurman register on the Hollywood radar. If there’s one thing that Quentin Tarantino can do better than anyone else, it’s resuscitate flatlining actors.

Obviously once they’ve been resuscitated, they’re on their own again, at which point their careers usually flounder. After receiving Tarantino’s helping hand, Pam Grier made The Adventures of Pluto Nash; Uma Thurman made the now infamous Motherhood; David Carradine played a horny old triad called Poon Dong in Crank 2, then died; and John Travolta voluntarily chose to star in (deep breath) Battlefield Earth, Ladder 49, Be Cool, Wild Hogs, Hairspray and Old Dogs all in the space of a single decade. And these actors are much more celebrated than Lindsay Lohan – so even if Tarantino does decide to give her a boost, she probably shouldn’t start clearing any Oscar spaces on her mantelpiece yet.

It could be that Quentin was impressed with something regarding La Blohan, or that he thinks she would make a hilarious cameo appearance as “Crackhead #2″, but I doubt he’s writing a part especially for her or anything. A similar rumor was floating around about Quentin wanting to work with Britney Spears, and nothing ever came of that.

Speaking of Lindsay being rather trashy, the Jersey Shore kids were interviewed by Interview Magazine this month, and they have nothing but nice things to say about the Lohans, of course. Pauly D said, regarding his celebrity fans: “Lindsay Lohan, Ashton Kutcher. Diddy’s a fan. I heard Denzel Washington’s a fan. Lindsay’s cool. When we went to the club, she pulled me aside and said, ‘Pauly D! I love your show.’ We were hanging out with her mother [Dina Lohan].” Shocking! You mean the Lohans would totally relate to the Jersey Shore kids? Honestly, between those two groups, I kind of worry about the Jersey Shore kids, and how the Lohans could be a bad influence.

Many of the year's Oscar nominees were in LA today for the annual Annual Academy Awards Luncheon. The ladies of Up in the Air, Anna Kendrick and Vera Farmiga, were out for the meal, though it looks like George Clooney wasn't able to attend. Sandra Bullock and Meryl Streep were there to represent the Leading Actress category. Maggie Gyllenhaal, meanwhile, posed near Carey Mulligan, who was glowing after her romantic Valentine's Day boat ride with Shia LaBeouf. Gabourey Sidibe happyily chatted about her amazing year in the wake of Precious's success, opening up about how she's dying to meet Steve Martin. There's lots more to come from the pre-show event, so stay tuned to Buzz for all the latest details!

Quentin Tarantino brought his friends together at LA's La Vida restaurant last night to celebrate Inglourious Basterds's eight Academy Awards nominations. He chatted with other famous faces up for Oscars like Maggie Gyllenhaal, who stuck close to husband Peter Sarsgaard. Eli Roth chatted with Neve Campbell, Selma Blair, and Heather Graham, while Ryan Gosling made the rounds still looking hot after his recent trip in Sundance. Anne Hathaway brought along her constant companion Adam Shulman, as she took a break from promoting Valentine's Day.

Anne's on the cover of next month's InStyle to chat about her star-studded movie, though she took a minute to reflect on herself and her looks. She said, "I think I’ve got really weird features. I have very large features on a very small head. But, you know, I’m not going to beat myself up . . . I look like myself, and I think at the end of the day, as nice as pretty is, authenticity is more important." Her looks seem to be doing just fine as far as Hollywood is concerned, especially after all her recognition in 2009 for Rachel Getting Married. Anne's not nominated this year, but make sure to fill out Buzz's Oscar ballot for a chance to win an amazing prize pack!

Sandra Bullock was in high spirits on Friday night as she helped kick off the Santa Barbara Film Festival. She added another honor to her already impressive award season tally, accepting the American Riviera Award from by Forest Whitaker. All eyes are on Sandra as the favorite to win the Oscar, but Sandra's not so sure - she expressed her skepticism at the ceremony, saying, "I'm so not winning an Oscar." Other big winners from the evening included Emily Blunt, Saoirse Ronan, and Carey Mulligan, who's also nominated for an Academy Award for her role in An Education.
