April 22 2012, Published 1:00 p.m. ET
Her probation for a 2007 DUI — etc. — has been lifted and now Lindsay Lohan has received yet another in a long series of second chances. The troubled 25-year-old is staking her latest comeback on the Lifetime TV movie Liz and Dick, in which she'll portray Elizabeth Taylor during the film legend's tumultuous relationship with Richard Burton.

It's a plum role; but in her desperation to look the part of one of the 20th century's great beauty icons, Lindsay submitted to cosmetic procedures that bloated and distorted her face — and nearly lost her the job.
An insider close to the Lohan camp reports that before flying from L.A. to NYC for several big meetings, including one with Lifetime executives, Lindsay "was overdone with fillers, Botox and God knows what else. Word is that she had so many shots she went way overboard. And they took one look at her — they were repulsed and shocked."
