Lohan 'ideal' for Burton's Alice role

Lindsay Lohan is desperate to work with director Tim Burton on his big screen adaptation of 'Alice In Wonderland' - branding herself as the "ideal" candidate for the lead role.

The 'Mean Girls' star is vying to land the sought-after part of Alice in the Lewis Carroll classic in a bid to revive her flagging career - and she hopes her public enthusiasm for the role will persuade movie maverick Burton to recruit her.

The 21-year-old's career has suffered a downturn after a spell in rehab last year, following two DUI incidents which resulted in a brief stint in jail.

Lohan is also up for four Razzie Awards this year - the mock Oscars ceremony that rewards bad movies and performances - including two nominations for worst actress in the same production, I Know Who Killed Me in which she plays twins.

Lohan says: "I hope they don't give it to an unknown. I'm ideal. I could really do it justice. I've been down the role."
