Lindsay Lohan is set to star in a Las Vegas strip show.

The 'Mean Girls' actress attended the grand opening of burlesque production 'Peepshow' - starring Mel B - and met the topless show's director Jerry Mitchell on Saturday (18.04.09).

It is believed Lindsay is keen to take over from Mel's co-star Kelly Monaco in a bid to resurrect her fading acting career.

A source told Fox News: "Lindsay is in official negotiations to take over from Monaco who wants to move on and get back to work on 'General Hospital'. Mel B reportedly intends to stay on once her three-month contract is finished.

"People forget that Lindsay is a triple threat - she can act and sing and dance. She feels that this would really revitalise her career."

Lindsay was overheard telling Mel - who appears in a series of ultra-revealing outfits - she loves the adult show, and reportedly confided to friends: "If they make me an offer, and the money's right, I'll do it."

If the 22-year-old actress does join the cast, it is believed she will play Bo Peep - a timid girl who is transformed into a confident, sexy woman by Peep Diva, played by Mel.

However, she is not the only star being considered for 'Peepshow'.

The source added: "The producers are very interested in Lindsay and would be more than happy to take the risk of having the troubled star come on board. But it's a toss between Lohan, Hugh Hefner's ex-girlfriend Holly Madison and Brooke Burke for the racy role."
