According to TMZ reports, Hollywood actress Lindsay Lohan has sworn herself off dating as she prepares to play Elizabeth Taylor in a movie about the late screen legend's life.

Sources has revealed that the 25-year-old, who completed her probation relating to DUI and theft offenses last week, said she wants to avoid any relationships or emotional attachments for the time being. Instead of dating, the actress wants to spend her time reading the script for the upcoming Lifetime movie, named "Liz and Dick" and focusing on the role.

The "Mean Girls" star is said to be keen to make a comeback following her recent struggles with the law and does not want a relationship to get in the way. Lohan's legal woes began in 2007 with back-to-back DUI charges and escalated in 2010 when she spent 14 days in jail after a missed progress report hearing, as well as skipped alcohol education classes. While still on probation, Lohan was charged with the theft of a necklace last year, to which she pleaded no contest.

However, after going under house arrest last summer and having several compliance issues in the fall, Lohan finally began to turn things around. Lindsay Lohan is looking forward to portray the late Elizabeth Taylor after Canadian work visa is issued despite her criminal record. The actress has been issued the work permit that could resuscitate her moribund film career.

"Liz and Dick" will be filmed in Canada. They do not take kindly to foreigners with a criminal record working in their country but Canadian officials signed off on her permit hours after she completed her community service. According to TMZ, Canadian officials have realized that Lindsay has been receiving positive marks from the court and her probation officer.

indsay has two DUI's and a theft conviction on her record and Canada does not freely issue permits to criminals. In court, Judge Stephanie Sautner is expected to take her off probation for her Beverly Hills DUI case. The judge is also expected to change Lindsay's status in the jewelry heist case from formal probation to informal which means Lohan will not have to report to her probation officer or appear in court, as long as she does not break the law.
