Lindsay Lohan wants to resurrect her pop career

Troubled actress Lindsay Lohan is reportedly "desperate" to resurrect her pop career.

Lohan has apparently been telling executives at Universal Music that she's ready to begin work on a third studio album after her recent legal troubles & DUI woes left her short of film offers.

A source close to Lohan told The New York Daily News: "It would be easy for her to release another album. A record by Lindsay Lohan costs almost nothing to make. She doesn't need a big band. You just give her some songs and session musicians. And, God knows, she already has name recognition."

Lindsay's first two albums 'Speak' and 'A Little More Personal' were guided by Tommy Mottola, and it is thought he has been trying to persuade Lindsay to get back into the recording studio.

The source said: "Tommy Mottola knows how to handle divas, after all he was once married to Mariah Carey."

Last month, Lindsay was arrested for DUI, possession of cocaine, transporting a narcotic into a custody facility and driving on a suspended license.

Since the troubles, Lindsay has reportedly been struggling to find anyone who will insure her for a Hollywood movie.

I looks like the music industry aren't up to giving her work, either!

A source said: "As much as she wants to make another album the feeling is she needs to get herself cleaned up. Then we can talk about it."
