Actress Lindsay Lohan refuses to be roasted

LOS ANGELES, May 15 (UPI) -- U.S. comedian Jeff Ross says troubled actress Lindsay Lohan has refused to be roasted for a Comedy Central special.

Ross, who is the network's resident roast master, told TMZ Lohan has turned down his offer to be teased mercilessly for the high-profile gig, which generally earns its subject respect for being a good sport.

Previous Comedy Central roastees include Roseanne Barr, Charlie Sheen, Donald Trump, Joan Rivers, Flavor Flav, Denis Leary and Jerry Stiller.

Lohan, 27, this month began a 90-day court-ordered stint in rehab as part of her ongoing legal battle involving probation violations, motor-vehicle offenses, drunk driving and the theft of a necklace from a boutique.
