Raspberry Awards on Saturday and, perhaps not surprisingly, neither star showed up to accept the spoof Oscars.

For their lack of acting prowess, the veteran comic and the young actress with the hard-living reputation each won three gold spray-painted Razzie trophies worth $4.89 each.

The annual honours were announced by the Golden Raspberry

Foundation at a presentation that pokes fun at the Academy Awards ceremony that is to be held on Sunday.

In a camp opening number, Dan Campbell and Paula Einstein donned ’50s dresses and black “beehive” hairdos and sang: “The worst of last year are trembling with fear,” and throughout the show clips were shown of the biggest Hollywood howlers of 2007.

Murphy, who starred in the critically savaged comedy “Norbit,” set a record by winning three of the four worst acting categories. Despite bad reviews, moviegoers had turned out for the film, which took in $158 million at worldwide box offices based mostly on Murphy’s popularity.

The recently rehabbed actress re-created Marilyn Monroe’s famous “Last Sitting” nude pictorial for the mag’s spring fashion issue with the shoot’s original photographer, Bert Stein.

So was she nervous about getting in front of the camera wearing nothing but a chiffon scarf?

“I was comfortable with it,” she told New York, though she admitted to doing “250 crunches” the previous night.

On set for Lohan’s revealing re-creation was a small entourage of her manager; her security guard; a makeup artist and assistant; a hairstylist and assistant; a stylist; a manicurist; a sentry posted to guard the on-loan diamonds; the photographer and his manager; two photo assistants; and the actress’ younger sister, Ali. (By comparison, Stern’s original shoot with Monroe was just him and his subject).

“Here’s a woman who is giving herself to the public,” Lohan said of the original photos. “She’s saying, ‘Look, you’ve taken a lot from me, so why don’t I give it to you myself.’ She’s taking control back.

“It was very tastefully done,” she told People of her daughter’s cover shoot.

Lindsay recently paired up with photographer Bert Stein to recreate his legendary 1962 nude shoot with Marilyn Monroe. The photos appeared in New York magazine earlier this week, showing Lohan covered occasionally by see-through bits of fabric.

“Lindsay will do whatever the judge orders her to do,” Dina Lohan says, “so she she can put this behind her and move on with her life.”

Lohan’s DUI plea agreement included rehab, a stint in jail (she served 84 minutes) and community service – part of which she’s taking care of by spending two, 4-hour days in the morgue. After that, she’ll spend two days working in an emergency room.

The three-judge panel of California’s Second District Court of Appeal has ruled that the trial judge must explain why he’s allowing the testimony to be captured on video. A hearing is set for March 26.

In the meantime, the camera ban is in place, according to papers released Thursday.

In November, L.A. Superior Court Judge Michael L. Stern denied Lohan’s no-video request for her upcoming deposition in a civil lawsuit involving a car accident two years ago.

The ruling came over the strong objections of Lohan’s attorney, who says he feared the video would be sold by one of the many people who’d have access to it.
