Lindsay Lohan has turned down a US$200,000 offer to promote Mr Pink’s Ginseng Energy Drink in Dubai, believing she is worth at least double the amount, it was reported.

The troubled actress, who is reported to be living with her mother due to her financial constraints, wants US$500,000 for the appearance, a source told gossip website RadarOnline.com.

“Lindsay wants US$500,000 for an appearance in Dubai to promote Mr Pink's Ginseng Energy Drink, which executives at the company are balking at,” a source said.

“Mr Pink is prepared to offer the actress US$200k, and would pay for all of LiLo's travel expenses.

“Lindsay is very upset about her financial woes and doesn't trust her new lawyer, Mark Heller, to handle the Dubai travel problem,” the source added.

The 26-year old actress is said to be struggling to support herself financially and was forced to return to her childhood home last month because she couldn’t afford to continue renting her apartment in Hollywood.

Well, I'm certainly not a fan of her's, but I wouldn't call her a little known actress. On the contrary, her legal woes have made her even more well known.

I think it's amazing she or anyone else could ask for 400k just to show up. Obviously someone's got a big head.

But in answer to your question. I think yes, they are.

Why on earth would an 'energy' drink manufacturer want a little known actress with an out of control drug problem to endorse their drink ????

Are they stupid or just stupid
