Amber Valletta might have a part in the upcoming sci-fi thriller "Gamer," but her modeling skills are still fiercely intact, as shown in the below fashion spread shot by former Dior designer Hedi Slimane for the newest issue of V Magazine, out September 1.

Lohan admitted that her favorite song at the moment is the heartbreak hit "Release Me" by Agnes Carlsson, which includes the telling lyrics: "I know it's wrong/ So why am I with you now/I say release me/'Cause I'm not able to convince myself/That I'm better off without you."

During the ELLE shoot, Lohan alternated between playing with her Blackberry, smoking Parliaments on the balcony, nibbling on a piece of pepperoni pizza and messing around with her iPod playlist.

The all black-and-white fashion story finds the relatively bare-faced supermodel in hard-edged denim and leather pieces, lots of sequins and even the same puffy-sleeved Dolce & Gabbana blazer that Rihanna rocked at The Met Gala earlier this year.

As for acting, Valletta tells the magazine she's ready for some meatier roles. "I don't want to be pigeonholed as the girl-next-door," she says. "There's nothing wrong with the girl-next-door, but I'd like to be the psycho killer and the warrior princess and the sex bomb and do serious material like Mamet or Shakespeare. I'd love to have the whole experience."

But modeling doesn't seem to be such a bad back-up plan.
