Lindsay Lohan Will Be In Gotti Movie After All

Yesterday, it seemed like negotiations had ended between producers of the upcoming film, Gotti: The Three Generations and Lindsay Lohan. Previously, Lindsay was in talks to play Victoria Gotti, and a photograph of the two of them standing next to each other indicated a good match was found. As to the reason why Lindsay was no longer in consideration for the part, producer Mark Fiore told People that they just couldn't reach terms. Then, he told TMZ, "I will only ride a merry-go-round with my kids," indicating the possibility that Lindsay became too much to handle. But today, it has been announced that Lindsay will, in fact, appear in the movie, but this time she'll fill the role of Kim Gotti, the wife of John Gotti Jr. Of Lindsay's casting, Fiore told People, "She was definitely out as of earlier...but she really wanted the part. She not only is back in the movie, but she single-handedly put it all together. She called me personally and put her team on it and we came to an agreement." - People

Nicolas Cage The Mob

Date: Thursday Oct. 21, 2010 8:14 AM ET

VIENNA, Austria — Oscar-winning actor Nicolas Cage, the frequent star of gangster thrillers, is calling for a united fight against organized crime.

Cage, a United Nations goodwill ambassador for global justice, says the threat posed by criminal networks is too big for communities or states to confront on their own and that countries must work together to battle it.

He warns that regions weakened by conflict, lawlessness and extreme poverty are especially susceptible to "the deadly infection that preys on human beings."

Cage won the Academy Award for Best Actor for his role in "Leaving Las Vegas" in 1995. He spoke Thursday at a conference aimed at boosting support for a U.N. convention to curb organized crime.
