Lindsay Lohan’s career takes a turn for the worse

Lindsay LohanLindsay Lohan's career doesn't seem to be getting any better despite her recent stint in rehab to get clean and sober - her latest movie has been nominated for NINE Razzie awards.

Lohan's thriller, I Know Who Killed Me, in which she plays two characters who may or may not be the same person, received a leading nine Razzie nominations, among them worst picture of 2007.

The Razzies are handed out during Hollywood's awards season  but honored the worst of movies from the previous year.

Lohan was closely followed by Eddie Murphy's comedy Norbit which received eight Razzie nominations.

Out of those eight, five of them were for Murphy alone, more than anyone has ever gotten in a single year.

Besides worst picture, Norbit had nominations for Murphy as worst actor in the title role, supporting actress as Norbit's beefy wife, supporting actor as an Asian man and worst screen couple for Norbit opposite either of Murphy's other characters.

Murphy also shared a screenplay nomination for co-writing "Norbit."

"We decided that each of his characters was so offensive that he deserved individual nominations," said Razzies founder John Wilson.

According to Wilson, Murphy's closest competition for worst screen couple is Lohan in I Know Who Killed Me, in which she plays a small-town girl abducted by a psychopath and an alter-ego, a stripper who's missing body parts.

Lohan's movie played like a cross between the torture tale "Hostel" and

"The Patty Duke Show," Wilson said.

For worst actress, Lohan polled more heavily than any actor since Sofia Coppola in The Godfather Part III, Wilson said.

He added: "I Know Who Killed Me is the most fabulously brainless movie since Showgirls, which Razzie voters picked as the worst movie of the 1990s.

"By the end of it, you still don't know what happened. Are they twins or aren't they? Did she imagine it? Can I please have my hour and 50 minutes back?"

The other worst-picture nominees were Bratz, a live-action take on the cartoon about four chic young girls; Daddy Day Camp, with Cuba Gooding Jr. starring in a sequel to Murphy's Daddy Day Care; and I Now Pronounce You Chuck Elisha Cuthbert for Captivity; and Diane Keaton for Because I Said So.

Along with Murphy, supporting actor included Orlando Bloom for Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, James and Rob Schneider for I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry and Jon Voight for National Treasure: Book of Secrets, September Dawn and Transformers.

Supporting actress nominees were Jessica Biel for I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry and Next, Carmen Electra for Epic Movie, Julia Ormond for I Know Who Killed Me and Nicollette Sheridan for Code Name: The Cleaner.

A spoof of Hollywood awards, the Razzies made their announcement the day before the Oscar nominations come out.

Razzie awards and the winners will be announced February 23, the day before the Oscars.
