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!

Lindsay can't afford rehab...well to dam bad for her. She would not have needed rehab in the first place if she followed the program the first time when she could afford it. Crying just for attention.

I think she has a tidy little sum tied up in bail. Sign it over.
Broke is good for an addict. Very few dealers offer credit.

Anyone want to bet the idiot judges let her out early?
If she hadn't spend so much on drugs maybe she would have some money.(which she has plenty)

By rj

Maybe Mom and Dad will lend it to her from the money they robbed from her

Lindsey must have her money buried in the back yard.I thought maybe she cant afford panties for her nasty looking gash.I would
pay to put her behind bars for 5 yrs.Why is this witch popular ?
Maybe she will kill herself.It would be a beautiful universe.

By tmwalkerm

Pfft, whatever, she can't afford rehab? I'm sure most, if not all, the people who tried to GET her into rehab will be more than happy to help her out. I would rather pay for someone to go to rehab, than fund her addictions which is what people have been doing up to this point. If it takes (and that's a HUGE if), at least it'll be money well spent.

I agree, of course, she could always be sent to a state rehab center instead of one for "THE STARS".

I imagine her health insurance will pay for rehab

I use to like Lindsay in movies or tv shows she was on, but until recently to me SHE IS A SPOIL RICH KID WHO WANTS ATTENTION.

It is a shame she cannot afford a rehab bill? Well she needs to get a JOB slinging maybe hamburger or work in a convenience store and get a pay ck that she can pay for it. She just wants HAND ME OUTS from people and her family. I don't feel sorry for her one bit. She deserves to be put there and pay the price like any other citizen does when they go to jail. She was not in there long enough w/o her cries for forgiveness and got out. What is wrong w/the systems.

Yes, and if she hadn't bought all those drugs and alcohol and had to hire an attorney for her poor behavior, she would have the money but interestingly, she wouldn't need it. Too bad poor baby. She needs to grow up and act like an adult!

By spyderink4u

Waaaaaaa, throw her in jail for the time she should do!

By JOHN

Let me get this straight. She does dope, and now she wants someone else to pay for what she was stupid in doing. her brain must be fryed....logan do you hear a toliet flushing...thats your career going into the sewer along with you !

By howard

Lindsay Rules.

By santoroturillo

Well said Christine.
Who in hell does she think she is anyhow????
Is it possible that we have so many morons in this country who will continue to foot the bill for an otherwise "lost puppy" who represents through her actions the worse role model one could ever use for our kids.
Put her in jail and keep her there out of the ridicoulose and abusive lime lite some greedy magazine COO is exploiting and insulting us everyday with.

Learn to spell,stupid,before you criticize others, you douchewad.

By No sympathy here

This narcissistic b-tch has continuously made a mockery of our justice system and now expects someone to pay for her to stay in an extremely over-priced and probably way too over-rated rehab facility?!! Throw her azz in jail and make her serve 5-to-10, let her learn what it is live among her peers!

By MIKE

I agree......

By Liz

maybe not 5 to 10 years but i do basically agree with you on all other points.

By Ms.lady

WELL SAID!
