...first project after taking the unusual leap from his post-college post in Disney’s corporate strategy division to the creative side in the Buena Vista Motion Pictures group. The Crimson communicated with Simon via e-mail to chat about Lindsay Lohan’s tabloid life style, his own career path, and what it’s like to digitally reduce Lindsay Lohan’s breasts...

She swiftly became the most discussed and written-about woman in the world, fawned over by fashion designers for her "perfect elegance," gushed over by gossip columnists and probed endlessly in tabloid serials, books and, eventually, TV dramatizations. The final chapter of her star-crossed love story--Or was it merely the tale of a woman who happened to snag the world's most eligible bachelor?--closed last week when Wallis, the Duchess of Windsor, died in Paris...
