In what could be seen as another blatent attempt to revive a waining career, Lindsay Lohan channels Marilyn Monroe, in some pretty racy photos, in a spread in New York magazine, and talks about what it means to be a party goer in Hollywood, and the effects that can have on a person. Lohan also discusses Ledger's death, and why she was spotted crying after learning of his passing.

In the new issue of New York magazine, the actress, 21, poses nearly naked for a recreation of “The Last Sitting,” the last series of photos of Marilyn Monroe.

Lohan calls Monroe's suicide "tragic," adding, "you know, it’s also tragic what just recently happened to someone else.”

Asked if she’s referring to Ledger, Lohan replies, “They are both prime examples of what this industry can do to someone.”

Still, the star, who's been in rehab three times, insists she will not end up like them.

“I'm not them … I sure as hell wouldn’t let it happen to me,” she tells the magazine.
