Lindsay Lohan has reportedly turned down $200,000 (Dhs700,000) to appear at a promotional event in Dubai because she wanted more money.
According to RadarOnline.com, The 'Liz and Dick' star wanted half a million dollars to appear at a promotional party for Mr Pink's Ginseng Energy Drink in the emirate.
A source told the online gossip website that executives at the energy drink firm are only willing to offer $200,000 and will pay for all of Lohan's travel expenses.

Lindsay Lohan has reportedly turned down $200,000 (Dhs700,000) because she feels the event is worth 'half a million dollars'
The troubled star has had well-documented money problems in recent times, with stories emerging that ‘Anger Management’ star Charlie Sheen gave her $100,000 towards a six figure tax bill.
Lohan tweeted earlier this month that she might be heading to Dubai.
She wrote on Twitter: "Chatting about Dubai looks like I might be making a trip soon.”

“* Breaking news *
Believe it or not 'celebrities' get paid a fair amount of money for appearances and I am sure Lohan gets more than that, hence her disinterest.
This 'news' does get a bit of publicity for an energy drink I have never heard of though so I guess it's served it's purpose.
Paid advert?”
