Lindsay Can't Afford Rehab; Looking for a Sponsor

By Rob Shuter Posted Oct 25th 2010 10:35AM

You would think that Lindsay Lohan would be jumping for joy since a judge decided to order her back to rehab rather than to jail, however, sources tell me neither option made the troubled actress very happy. Why? Because the strapped 'Mean Girls' star will now need to find a sponsor to help cover her bill at the Betty Ford Center.

"Lindsay can't afford to pay for treatment," a friend told me after Superior Court Judge Elden Fox ordered her to remain there until Jan. 3. "Three months at the facility will cost her almost $50,000, which she doesn't have."

Lohan's probation report confirms that the star's "clothing line is falling apart because she is not available to monitor the product," and any money she hoped to earn from filming 'Inferno' will have to wait until she leaves rehab.

"There is simply no money left," an insider tells me. "Lindsay manages to live high off the generosity of others; however, asking for free clothes and dinners at fancy restaurants is one thing, asking for $50,000 cash is something totally different. Her people tried and failed to sell her first post rehab interview for big bucks, so her only option now is to find some sort of sponsor."

Or maybe find a cheaper rehab, Lindsay!

Why should anyone help this chick? She makes a mockery out of the court system and the judge who imposed the harsh restrictions on her in the first place. Let her rot in jail if she can't afford a rehab, sides anyone who helps her will probably eventually get a big F U to them by way of fingernail polish.

She must be a democrap...always looking for someone else to pay for her mistakes. Throw her in jail!!!!!

By Pat

I don't know what she will do afterwards if she does get clean. She is not known for her acting abilities and there are loads of other young actresses out there who have kept themselves out of trouble and concentrated on improving their craft, something she should have done.

Send her to jail.

Where is "Celebrity Rehab" when you need them? She can get paid and facetime by being on the show.

By cqdeed

I have no pity for her. She is still getting off easy. Mom is right. She wouldn't be there if she were not famous, she would be in jail, getting clean by going cold turkey.

By Digi

LOL who in their right mind would sponsor this train wreck? Great there goes 50 grand just to give someone a 3 month vacation, just to go back to doing drugs as soon as she gets out. LOL I guess you cant MOOCH off rehab center aye Lohan? I agree with the writer, PERHAPS she needs to find a cheaper rehab. Lindsey you're such a dink

By kim

Sucks to be her. This woman doesn't need rehab. She needs to see all those drug heads on the street and see what this kind of stuff does to a person and then make her pay for these people to get help. GET A LIFE LOHAN MAYBE THIS WILL DO YOU GOOD BUT WE ALL DOUBT IT. WHAT A LOOSER

By Kathy

Oh, I see. This is why her father Michael Lohan is suddenly removing himself from the situation. He might be asked to help with the bill, OMG!What a father, every girls dream dad.And you wonder why she has problems aaaa could it be her FATHER???

By Silent Hill

can you hear it? its the sound of lindssay hitting bottom......thud!

Why does she need to go to the betty ford clinic? The state can order the rehab and foot the bill....or order jail in its abscence. Betty ford is expensive.

By PJ

WE ARE THE STATE DUMMY!!!!! THE STATE DOESNT MAKE MONEY!! THE STATE GETS THEIR MONEY FROM US!!!CHEEESH!!! SHE AND HER FAMILY SHOULD HAVE ENOUGH MONEY RATHOLED AWAY TO TAKE CARE OF HER. LET THEM FOOT THE BILL. SHE WANTS TO LIVE LIKE A HIGH ROLLER???? THEN ROLL ON BABAAAAY!!!!

By JEFF

THINK IT WOULD SAVE TIME AND MONEY TO JUST SHOOT HER FULL OF HERION AND BURY HER BEFORE SHE STARTS STINKING.

By JEB BUCKINGHAM

WHY do these reporters keep asking if Lindsay deserves a 2ND CHANCE? She's had chance after chance after chance times a million. Now she's broke? Should've thought about that while you were partying and drinking and drugging, girlfriend. And quit giving it all to your leech of a mother!

By s

I am so tired of hearing about this loser. She should have gone to jail. How can she be out of money? And if she truly is, it's because she has spent it on her high life style, partying, drugs, alcohol, clothes and hair styling. Hmmm..and she just bought TWO cars! GET REAL!! She needs a big dose of reality...the way the rest of us have to live. There are plenty of talented, pretty girls around that will gladly take the roles that might have been offered to this no-talent, fame thriving bimbo. I hope the movie and television industry stop shoving her down our throats. I, for one, won't watch her in anything she might be in. She is a disgrace for the generation that idolized her. (How she got that status is beyond me...she's not that special.) She and the octomom must be related...let someone else pay for my stupidity! I hope it won't be the tax payers!
