Lindsay Lohan Sells Her Clothes for Cash

Tags: , , ,


Lindsay Lohan is so strapped for cash that she did the equivalent of a mobile garage sale: she packed up her “designer” clothes and sold them to a high-end thrift store. Can I get a “wah-wah-waaaaah“? Female First reports,

The 25-year-old ‘Freaky Friday’ actress is apparently so cash-strapped following numerous stints in rehab that she has decided to sell off her designer clothes and accessories.

A source told Now magazine: “Lindsay’s got zero income and a shed-load of bills.

“She’s so desperate for cash she took a truck load of designer clothes, shoes and bags to Los Angeles’ Crossroads Trading Company, who agreed a price of £8,770 for the lot.

“She needed a huge lorry to transport it all to the company’s head office.”

But she hopes to make a comeback with her role as Elizabeth Taylor in Lifetime movie ‘Liz and Dick’ – and has even ruled out dating while she gets her career back on track.

A source said: “Lindsay wants to devote all her spare time to reading the script and getting Liz’s persona down pat rather than focus on a new relationship.”

She also wants to put her troubled past behind her and regain the trust of the public and entertainment industry.

She said: “People can say things all they want, but I think I still need to go through the process of proving myself.

“I could see where it could be scary for people to invest in me. And I don’t want people to have that reason to be scared anymore.”

Next thing she’ll be doing is blowing truck drivers at gas stations. For cash this time, mind you. She probably does that currently for free.

Pretending that she has money to spend at Eva Fehren’s Jewelry Show in West Hollywood:

Whitney Left Everything to Bobbie Kristina

Tags: , , , , , ,

Whitney Houston’s will was officially filed in court yesterday, and as previously reported, ex-husband Bobby Brown doesn’t get jack shit — her estate will be going to her only daughter, Bobbi Kristina. Radar Online says:

The will is very straightforward and states that Whitney’s assets, real estate, jewelry, clothing and cars will all go to Bobbi Kristina. The money will be held in a trust until she turns 21.

The executors of the will and estate are Whitney’s mother, Cissy Houston, her brother Gary and her sister-in-law, Pat Houston.

She might have inherited what was left of her mother’s estate, but Bobbi Kristina won’t ever see any royalty checks from Whitney’s record company, thanks to the multiple advances and loans Whitney took from the $100 million deal she cut with Sony a decade ago. The Daily says:

Houston was out of cash in 2001 when she signed what was said to be a $100 million deal with Sony for six albums. While the agreement could have been worth $100 million if things had gone right, Houston only collected about $40 million. “It’s really an advance against sales. They loaned her the money, and her records didn’t sell,” a [label executive] explained.

Based on the meager sales figures, “She owes Sony at least $20 million… she’s going to have to sell 5 million more records before her family sees a dime.”

Inheriting an estate isn’t necessarily all that great, you know. You also inherit the debt and responsibility that come with it. And I’m sure it doesn’t help when the “investment portfolio” you’re inheriting is actually just a shoebox full of scratch-offs and a half-drunk bottle of Wild Turkey.

Halle Berry Broke Her Foot

Oscar-winning actress Halle Berry broke her foot while shooting her new movie “Cloud Atlas” in Spain this morning. TMZ says:

Halle was on the property where she’s staying and simply took a misstep. She heard a crack and then felt the pain. Halle went to the hospital, where doctors put her foot in a cast. She was taken out of the hospital in a wheelchair.

As for the movie she’s currently shooting, sources say the immediate plan is to shoot around her. We’re told that will be a combination of things — shooting her from the waist up, using a stunt double, and shooting scenes for the next week or two in which Halle does not appear.

She took a “misstep” alright. A misstep right into Gabriel Aubry’s asscheeks. Statistics indicate that almost 90% of the foot injuries sustained by African-American females began as an attempt to break a foot off in somebody’s ass, usually that of a triflin’ ho or baby daddy. Respect.

Shooting the movie earlier this week:

Lindsay Lohan is “Too Poor” to Afford Counseling

Tags: , , , , ,

Lindsay Lohan left her multi-million dollar home yesterday with $5,000 worth of extensions in her hair and a pair of $1200 shoes on her feet to go and tell an L.A. judge that she hadn’t started her court-ordered counseling because she was too poor to pay for it. Ha, ha — irony! Radar Online says:

[Lohan's] attorney Shawn Holley informed the court that Lindsay had not yet started her psychological counseling because she could not afford it… because her SAG insurance had lapsed.

City Attorney Melanie Chavira said that she found it hard to believe that the Hollywood star could not afford to pay for counseling.

She asked Lindsay if she had anyone who had a credit card who would be able to stump up the cash for her court-mandated sessions. Lindsay consulted with her lawyer who then told the Judge that it “would not be a problem” for her to get the money together.

She said if Lindsay does not provide proof by August 11 that she has started individual counseling, she would revoke her probation.

I like that the judge specified that the funds should be solicited from “someone with a credit card.” Just in case Lindsay didn’t realize that she couldn’t pay for counseling with food stamps and cigarettes.

Courtney Love is Broke

Courtney Love is broke

Courtney Love’s life continues to sink ever further into her own self-made Hole of Suck. Look for her soon at bumming coins at your local gas station! Now Magazine explains,

Courtney Love’s crazy lifestyle is finally taking its toll. In a text to a friend, she said: ‘I’m f***ed now, dude. 
I have 120 bucks, my kid hasn’t had a decent meal and I’m getting evicted.’

The 45-year-old widow of Nirvana legend Kurt Cobain looked alarmingly haggard recently as she strolled near the New York Mercer Hotel, where she’s currently living.

Courtney has no means of paying her hotel bill after being denied access to the £750,000 trust fund set up for her daughter Frances, 17.

‘Courtney’s a complete shopaholic,’ says a source. ‘She’s been to counselling, but attended only one session. She’ll think nothing of blowing thousands like Michael Jackson did, but she hasn’t got his millions. She could end up on the street now.’

Last month, the ex-Hole singer revealed that she was living off the generosity of hotel staff, saying: ‘They’re the best staff in the world. When my bank account got frozen, we had $14.32 [£9] a week, so we lived off the kindness of strangers.’

It’s been revealed that Courtney owes £220,000 [$358,798] to American Express and is being sued by her security guards for missing payments totalling £38,000 [$61,974.20].

In April she employed ‘forensic accountants’ to track down and retrieve more than £19 million [$30 million] that she claims can’t be accounted for.

How exactly in holy hell do you misplace $30 million dollars? Like Oops, wonder what happened to my car keys, I’ve misplaced them. Except in this case, it’s like, Oops, I misplaced a fucking mountain of cash that probably weighs more than my drug-emaciated body. And therein lies the answer to the mystery. Congratulations, Courtney Love, you’ve had your hands on more money than the vast majority of us not-so-fortunate peasants will ever even get to look at, screwed up your life, probably ensured that your daughter will end up as fucked up as you, and blown your millions away on drugs and really bad clothes. I hope someone gives you a ribbon that says, “I Win at Sucking”.
