A source told the New York Daily News newspaper: "Lindsay has been openly
asking her friends for handouts. She has nothing to spend."
A separate source added: "Lindsay has been unofficially promoting Ariva, by
making sure she is photographed carrying the quit-smoking tobacco lozenge
wherever she goes. They have officially denied she is their new spokesmodel,
but they privately paid her a mid-five figure sum this week."
Lindsay's extravagant spending spree reportedly included $1 million on just
one hotel bill.
She has also spent more than $137,000 on three separate stints in rehab
battling her drug and alcohol addictions, and thousands more in legal fees
for her DUI (driving under the influence) charge.
Lindsay is also thought to have blown more than $1 million on clothes and
$500,000 on partying, with another $70,000 spent in tanning and hair salons.
She has been forced her to sell her $2.85 million Los Angeles apartment and
her $1 million New York property because she couldn't afford the mortgage
payments.
The 21-year-old actress is in such financial strife she allegedly tried to
sell photographs of her family Thanksgiving dinner last year.
