Is Lindsay Lohan Broke?

I seriously doubt it, but News of the World says she is:

In recent months the wayward actress has squandered a staggering SEVEN MILLION DOLLARS on her wild partying.

And now the 21-year-old is so skint she can’t afford her own place—and has become a lodger at a rich pal’s mansion.

Her extravagant spending spree includes:
– A MILLION dollars on just one hotel bill
– $137,000 in rehab costs as she battles her hopeless addiction to drink and drugs
– THOUSANDS more in legal fees after multiple drink driving convictions.

We can reveal that after jetting back to Los Angeles this week following her two-month stay at the Utah’s Cirque Lodge rehab clinic, Lohan is staying in the guest house of billionaire Tom Gores, executive producer on her recent film I Know Who Killed Me.

A source close to the star revealed: “Lindsay doesn’t have much choice as she is totally broke. The only reason she’s coming back to LA, is to earn some money fast.

“She still thinks nothing of blowing thousands of dollars on a single night of partying. And the amount she has wasted putting cocaine up her nose is disgusting. Even she has lost count.”

She lived for most of last year in Hollywood’s opulent Chateau Marmont hotel, spending $450,000 on her $1,200-a-night suite, as well as another £500,000 having chauffeurs on 24-hour standby.

Added to that were endless bottles of Cristal champagne at $550 a pop—until the unpaid bills got too much and she was evicted.

Hard-up Lindsay has had to sell both her plush properties—a $2.85MILLION apartment in LA, plus her $1MILLION New York flat—because she could not manage to keep up with the huge mortgage payments.

Another $350,000 has gone on luxury Mercedes and BMWs, followed by huge bills for expensive lawyers to defend her on drink-driving and drugs charges.

She spent $1MILLION on clothes, $70,000 on tanning and hair-styling and well over $500,000 on partying.

Um, has anyone considered that perhaps she’s staying at the producer’s house because she’s trying not to go back to her old haunts … the apartments and neighborhoods that remind her of her partying days? Maybe she actually wants some adult supervision.

I don’t think she’s broke, but it’s probably my responsibility to pass along this story.

  • I think that the jist of this story is true. Also, remember that her mother was her manager and maybe alot of money was siphoned off to help out the family. (In other words, she prolly stole a GRIP of money from Lindsay). Not saying that her partying didn ‘t put a dint in that cheddar, but getting sober and getting new management are great moves on her part. Good luck, LL.

  • Um. A $1 million flat in NYC is like 750 square feet and one bedroom. In reality, that’s the LEAST extravagant thing on that list. Which makes the rest sound a little suspicious as well…

  • I think you are right in your assessment. I doubt she is broke. But I am quite sure she was on a spending spree for at least the last year.
    I think she probably does want to be monitored. Good for her, I hope she makes it.

  • i HIGLHLY doubt she’s broke. these are celebrities, not an average worker. She made 7million in a year…thats close to 650k a month in income. Sure she spent 130k on rehab, 300k on cars, that all adds up to some 1.5million. Okay so i guess lindsay has only worked for this past year? obviously not. she’s been in the spotlight since early ’03. Thats more than 5 years. She made $11mil in 2005 and probably another 8 in 2006. She’s worth a lot so i don’t think she’s broke. PLUS she’s always shopping in extravagant boutiques around LA so i doubt she’s bankrupt. I think the only person who is, is the person who published the story. OH AND SHE’S NOT STAYING AT TOM GORES, HE TOLD THE NEWS THAT HE DOESN’T PERSONALLY KNOW HER AND SHE HAS NEVER BEEN TO HIS HOUSE. THEY PROBABLY SAW HER NEAR HIS FRONT YARD AND THEY MADE UP SHIT LIKE THIS.

  • hopefully she makes a comeback and then everyone will pay her to wear their clothes, eat at their restaurants and party at their clubs….if that isn’t happening now

  • you need to learn to write or at least check your grammar before you post this crap. i keep stumbling across your poorly written blog where you criticize celebrity trainwrecks from your high horse, all the while displaying your apparent obsession with these shytheads. you’re gay for giving these idiots an audience, there are more important things in this world than celebrity gossip. want to be outraged about something? be outraged by something important like Darfur or the health care system!

  • so she spend 1 million on clothes why dont she just sell them on ebay maybe she can make half a million back?

  • i think she is broke. the government has always been known to take half. from management, her family, spa treatments, hotels, and what ever else probably did add up. she may have some money left but i dont think she could spend like jlo or a beonce diva. she is not that wanted by fans to support her movies, there are a lot of new starlets these days that may be a better choice for endorsments and may make better decisions for their night lives. she fudged up beyond repair. i mean come on “gay” what is she gay now. she’s so pathetic i cant stand it. her mom doesn’t help in anyway she should be entitled to a big pile of shit. the only star that can get away with this is britinay spears she is indistructable and what ever she does or says the world will support her in everyway. i am sorry but lindsay lohan did not make a mark in the world to have that deserving comeback. she sucks.

  • she was a cute little girl starring in remakes. now what her big block buster film is that movie with the stripper pole? she is quite beautiful and if she was a lot more careful about her whole entire personal life she would be a complete and utter star. i do think its to late for this generation. 10 years down the road if she keeps quiet and decides to become strait or whater she is doing right now that girl could be anything. she is so young yet.

  • I think her stock has gone down now that she is a coke head lesbian.. she was the all american sweetheart for disney but now she is pretty much unmarketable. Maybe she can do gay porn for $300 a day. I have read in numerous publications she is shacking up in a dump with her girlfriend Sam…
