Lindsay Lohan's team has hit back at Rosie O'Donnell for saying the actress wasn't fit to play Elizabeth Taylor in the new biopic.

The talk show host said that she felt "sorry" for the Mean Girls star and she was "not in a place to work."

But Lindsay's rep Steve Honig told RadarOnline that the 25-year-old is more than ready to star in Liz & Dick and Rosie should mind her own business.

"I think Rosie should focus on her own career and stop worrying about everyone else's," he told the site.

"It's hard to take these comments seriously considering they are coming from someone who just had her own talk show cancelled, but I guess she has to find a way to stay in the news, even if it is at the expense of someone else."

Rosie called TV pundit Donny Deutsch a "crackhead" today for saying Lindsay was "our generation's Elizabeth Taylor."

Production on the Lifetime movie will begin in Los Angeles in June after being moved from Canada because of Lindsay's continuing legal problems.
