Swank replaces Lindsay

New York - Lindsay Lohan is set to be replaced by Hilary Swank as the face of Jill Stuart's fashion line.
Lindsay was unveiled as the company's new model last year, but Jill Stuart has now decided to go for an "older" star following Lindsay's troubled year, which included her getting arrested, hospitalised and entering rehab.
A source close to the New York designer said: "Jill wanted to go for a celebrity to make her fashion line more high profile, but after everything Lindsay has been through over the last year, she doesn't feel it would be right for her to represent the line.
"She thinks Hilary Swank would be the ideal choice because she is that little bit older and incredibly well respected in the acting industry."
A company spokesperson refused to comment on the reports, adding: "Nothing's confirmed. We haven't decided what we're doing yet."
And in another development, Lindsay has replaced Britney Spears as the host of the Scandinavian Style Mansion gala in Los Angeles next week.
Organiser Claus Hjelmbak announced Britney was being dropped from the prestigious event following her most recent hospitalisation.
He said: "As a friend, my primary concern is for Britney's well-being and giving her the love and support she needs."
Britney celebrated her 26th birthday at a Scandinavian Style Mansion party in December, with friends including hotel heiress Paris Hilton and Basic Instinct star Sharon Stone. Bang Showbiz.com
