LINDSAY LOHAN lacks the focus to be a model, according to male runway star TYSON BECKFORD.
After a series of spreads for top publications - including a nude shoot for New York magazine - the actress recently revealed she is on the lookout for more modelling work.
But Beckford insists she’ll never make it as a catwalk queen.
He tells Usmagazine.com, "She has the partying part down right. But I don’t think sheâ��s got the focus. I mean, it requires a lot of focus and a lot of people think they can do it, but they really find that it’s a lot harder.
"Ask anyone - it’s a lot harder than it looks. I guess that’s why they call us supermodels - we make it look easy. But itâ��s not as easy as it looks, so I wish her all the best."

The Crazy In Love hitmaker appears in TV and print promos for the music-based Nintendo DS game, and she is delighted to have teamed up with the firm - because she was a big fan of its hugely popular Super Mario franchise when she was growing up.

It’s great to share a little piece of something so intimate with everyone." Other stars to have featured in Nintendo DS adverts include actors Nicole Kidman, Patrick Stewart and Liv Tyler and singer Carrie Underwood.

Record producer PHIL SPECTOR’s defence lawyer has urged jurors in the mogul’s murder retrial to disregard his former chauffeur’s testimony, suggesting the Brazilian is confused by what he heard following the death of actress LANA CLARKSON.
Driver Adriano DeSouza maintains Spector told him "I think I killed somebody," as the producer fled the scene of Clarkson’s death in 2003, but in his second day of closing, attorney Doron Weinberg argued the chauffeur misheard his ex-boss, and therefore his testimony is tainted.
Weinberg asked jurors, "How do you know it wasnâ��t ‘Call somebody?’" He claimed investigators encouraged DeSouza to stick to a version of the statement supporting their belief that Spector was guilty, and he felt obligated to stick by it, because his future immigration status was under threat.
Weinberg states, "I donâ��t mean (he was) intentionally lying. I mean (he was) trying to satisfy the authorities, who he is depending on to stay in this country." Spectorâ��s attorney maintains depressed Clarkson shot herself in the foyer of Spector’s Alhambra, California mansion.
The jury was handed the case for deliberation.
Spector faces a minimum of 18 years behind bars if he’s convicted of second-degree murder.
His 2007 murder trial ended when jurors were deadlocked in favour of Spector�s conviction.

TOM HANKS is heading back to outer space for a live-action film based on a vintage astronaut action figure.
The actor will portray Major Matt Mason in the currently untitled movie, based on the popular 1966 Mattel action man.
The Buzz Lightyear-like toy was all the rage in the two years leading up to Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin’s moonwalk, but the action figure was retired by Mattel bosses in the early 1970s.
The Mattel character was the leader of an astronaut team that worked on the moon and lived in a space station.
Space fan Hanks previously starred in Apollo 13 and hosted TV mini-series From the Earth to the Moon in the late 1990s.
Hanks will co-produce the film with production partner Gary Goetzman and Mattel executives Tim Kilpin and Barry Waldo, reports Daily Variety.

KEVIN FEDERLINE will tell all about his marriage to and divorce from BRITNEY SPEARS - and their bitter custody battle - in new songs for his forthcoming rap album.
The wannabe rapper split from Spears in 2006 after two years of marriage and Federline was handed custody of their two young sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James, in 2007 following a bitter court battle.
The former couple is now on friendly terms and share custody of the boys.
But Federline has been pouring out his emotions in tracks for his second record - the follow-up to 2006 flop Playing With Fire.
Collaborator Krayzie Bone, from hip-hop group Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, insists fans will be impressed with Federline’s efforts when the album eventually hits stores - just like he was when he listened to the lyrics.
He tells HipHopDX.com, "People gon’ say I’m crazy, but to my surprise the stuff that he let me hear, it was pretty decent. He told me that he didn’t get a chance to really put out the music he wanted to (with his first album), and he made mistakes in putting out the music that he did - by putting out the club stuff.
"I really didn’t hear none of his old music, but the stuff that he let me hear was, like, really deep. He was talking about his life. He was actually telling his side of the story (of the split with Spears) in a more mature, adult kind of way. Opposed to just being on the record saying, ‘F**k Britney.’ "He definitely got a story to tell (sic) - where he came from, and where he ended up."

JAY-Z’s former business partner DAMON DASH has blamed his generous nature for his financial downfall, insisting he was so focused on helping others succeed, he lost control of his own career.
The rap mogul has been making headlines with his money struggles in recent months; he is facing foreclosure on his two properties in the trendy TriBeCa area of New York and reportedly owes $2 million (£1.4 million) in state taxes, among other debts.
To make matters worse, his designer wife of four years, Rachel Roy, filed for divorce earlier this month (Mar09) - after Dash helped her launch her own women’s fashion line.
And Dash claims he has spent too much time helping others - including Roy and rapper pal Jim Jones - and not enough time on his own endeavours.
He tells Billboard.com, "My mistake was watching everyone else’s careers and not watching mine." Dash insists he spent too long planning Jones’ career breakthrough - and that has cost him dear.
He adds, "After being able to settle my wife’s company, I was able to start doing other things. My first approach was the music business and getting with Jim Jones… I spent the last six months doing research, trying to figure out how to use all my resources to blow this out (make his album a hit)."

Former METALLICA bass player JASON NEWSTED will rejoin the group for one night only when the rockers are inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in Ohio next month (Apr09).
Guitarist Kirk Hammett has confirmed Newsted, who quit the group in 2001 citing "private and personal reasons", will be onstage at the Hall of Fame for the induction ceremony and a performance with his former bandmates.
Hammett tells PulseofRadio.com that he, James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich decided not to add drama to the Hall of Fame honour after watching Blondie turn their 2006 induction into a farce, as current and former band members bickered onstage.
He says, "We went as a band when Black Sabbath was being inducted, and, at that time, Blondie was also being inducted that night. And there was so many politics (sic) and so much drama that, you know, we collectively said to each other, ‘We don’t want any of that.’ "It puts a really bad, sour note on the whole celebration itself." Newsted joined Metallica in 1986 as the replacement for original bassist Cliff Burton, who was killed in a tour bus accident.
