'True Blood' character 'based on Lohan'

True Blood creator Alan Ball has claimed that Lindsay Lohan was the inspiration for one of the characters on his show.

According to Sci Fi Wire, Evan Rachel Wood's Vampire Queen of Louisiana is based on the Mean Girls actress.

Discussing the introduction of the Vampire King of Mississippi, Ball said: "He's older. He's much more mature. He's much more methodical and grounded.

"[Vampire Queen is] kind of crazy. To me, she's kind of like Paris Hilton/Lindsay Lohan, where she has a very short attention span and she's very, very egomaniacal and very self-obsessed and doesn't really think about her actions, whereas the Vampire King is very much an adult.

"He has an agenda. He has things he wants to achieve. I think he's much more formidable than she is."

True Blood returns for its third season in 2010.
