Lindsay Lohan to host New Year’s party

Actress Lindsay Lohan must be really strapped for cash, as she is reportedly being lined up to host a New Year’s party at Las Vegas hot spot LAX.

Us Magazine is reporting that Lohan, who recently left the Cirque Lodge rehab center in Utah isn't overly excited about the party, but she has to: “Lindsay doesn’t necessarily want to host, but she’s contractually obligated,” claimed a source.

The source also told Us magazine that she accepted the gig in order to pay back the “hundreds of thousands of dollars” she got by agreeing to host her 21st birthday in Sin City at PURE Nightclub (which, like LAX, is owned by Pure Management Group). Lohan was forced to scrap the July 2 bash to focus on her treatment in rehab.

The source added “She already took the money from the birthday gig and can’t afford to pay them back.”

Lindsay's rep declined to comment.
