Here is Lindsay Lohan’s “Carrie” costume for Halloween. Kelly Osbourne went as Carrie too. You think LL was pissed off about that? For my money, Kelly had the better costume – Lindsay’s just looks really budget. As it turns out, everything was pretty budget about Lindsay for Halloween. Not content to merely grift Oprah Winfrey (poor Oprah!), Lindsay somehow landed herself a gig “hosting” a Halloween party at a Connecticut casino. The gig was supposed to be simple enough – Lindsay would show up 10 pm, pose on the red carpet, hang out for a bit inside and she would get paid $50,000 for that. By the way, HAHA on that figure – I think Kim Kardashian probably gets something like $200,000 to show up at a party, and at least Kim gets invited to proper casinos in Las Vegas.
Anyway, Lindsay was supposed to show up on time and she would get an easy $50,000 to BLOW through. But of course this is the Cracken we’re talking about and seeing as how she’s already relapsed in a major way, it’s not a surprise to learn that crackheads are always pretty crackie:
Lindsay Lohan was paid north of $50,000 to host a Halloween party at a casino last night, sources tell TMZ — but she was so late … the casino wants a chunk of its money back.
Sources familiar with the situation tell us, Lindsay was paid to show up to Foxwoods casino in Connecticut at 10pm, but she didn’t arrive until 11:43pm.
When she finally did show up, we’re told she blew off the red carpet — where she was supposed to pose for photos and talk to fans — and walked straight into the party. We’re told Foxwoods is now trying to renegotiate Lindsay’s contract because the casino feels she screwed them over.
Lindsay didn’t completely drop the ball. We’re told she and co-host Floyd Mayweather Jr. judged the Halloween costume contest together and actually did a decent job. (FYI, Lindsay was dressed as Carrie and Floyd was dressed as Freddy Krueger.)
For what it’s worth, we’re told Floyd (who was paid about the same as Lindsay) was late too — but he made up for it by spending time with fans, signing autographs and taking photos. Lindsay, not so much.
I mean… for the love of God. I can’t even imagine what goes through her crack-addled mind at this point. MOVE THOSE PEOPLE, I’M LINDSAY LOHAN. Yes, we know. That’s why you’re getting paid $50,000 to be nice to people on a red carpet. This isn’t damn rocket science, you know. Anyway… how do you feel about the Cracken’s return to some good old fashioned crack shenanigans? Also: how g–damn dumb was this casino to give Lindsay the money upfront?! NEVER GIVE HER THE MONEY UPFRONT.

this is escalating quickly
“MOVE THOSE PEOPLE, I’M LINDSAY LOHAN” is my new favorite thing to yell in crowds.
Bwa-haha. You totally should…even though it’s probably enough to cause a stampede.
Wow, what a shocking story…I really thought she had it together this time.
Really.
I really mean it.
I promise.
🙂
For the love of God, STOP giving this creature chances and money!!! Anyone who works with her at this point deserves to be shafted by The Cracken.
Mmmm hmmm!
I held out so much hope for her this time? I wonder what Oprah is going to do? I agree, it’s not rocket science! Show up on time & do what you got paid for.
thank you
there are celebrities who make one mistake and are nailed to the stake but this chick gets chance after chance smh
No way the casino gave her the money up front. They are re-negotiating the contract so they can pay her less.
Actually the CT casinos (Foxwoods and Mohegun Sun) are major casinos not crappy hole in the walls. Yes I’m from CT. They weren’t dumb to give her money up front, they were stupid in hiring her in the first place. Which is why I have no sympathy for Oprah or anybody else who works with her. I don’t know why she gets so many chances and everybody keeps thinking she’s changed.
They’re not crappy at all, but they’re still not a prestigious gig for a celeb. They’re in the middle of the woods, for one thing…
Also live in Connecticut and have been to both casinos several times a year. Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun are big casinos, but nothing compared to Vegas. Those are major casinos. Fox and Mo are major for our east coast area.
Out of the 2 Mohegan Sun is the better casino. Better concert venue, attractions, layout.
Also, can’t understand how she got paid upfront. That money is already gone.
thinkaboutit
They’re both in marsh areas because that’s where the reservations are. Prime realestate.
I like Foxwoods better. I kinda feel like you get more bang for your buck there.
I feel the same way. No sympathy for the casino, Oprah, or anyone else stupid enough or fame-whorey enough to have anything to do with her.
Yep. At this point, everyone knows what she is and how she operates. If someone is still dumb enough to hire her, I won’t feel even the slightest bit sorry for them when things end the way anyone with an ounce of common sense could predict they were going to end.
@pam246: That’s exactly what I was going to post when I read this thread.
@Florc: I prefer Mohegan too!
“at least Kim gets invited to proper casinos in Las Vegas.” Have you been to a casino in CT, Kaiser? I get they are not as prestigious as gigs in Vegas, but they are really good and a gig is a gig. At this point, I am shocked, shocked!!!, she gets hired.
foxwoods and Mohegan are not Vegas but what is? i much prefer Mohegan – concerts there are amazing, the food is awesome, the layout won’t give you a migraine and they have $5 blackjack 😉
but yeah, paying the crack kitten upfront is a bad gamble, pun absolutely intended. ugh.
Yes, I believe the Foxwoods property is the largest casino in the US and 3rd in the world.
^ This. Foxwoods is larger than any of the Vegas casinos. Currently #2 in the US, but was the largest casino in the United States until quite recently. Definitely not some backwoods Keno hall.
For 50 G’s I would turn up 4 hours early. Shit i’d even help them set up, then stay till the end and help them clean up. This girl is biting the hand that feeds her. This is the only way she can make any $$ and she is screwing that up. Putting off any other desperado that will hire her forever fucking up ungrateful arse!!!
I’d do it for $500 just cuz it sounds fun & that would be some fun extra spending cash.
Exactly!! For 10 grand I’d do all that! It amazes me that people will still hire her, for anything at all. But they probably thought her notoriety would be worth the money.
For that amount, I’d work for them for a year and consider myself lucky to be making such a good salary.
Most Americans – and most people on this planet – would be happy to make that much money in a year. It amazes me that people like Lohan and Kardashian get paid exorbitant amounts of money just to show up on the red carpet for a few minutes. These companies and corporations use the money we give to them to pay these celebrities thousands and give them free products while their employees make a pittance. This world is insane.
We are all aware of how many photographers show up to take Kim’s photo which is then posted all over the internet and all over every other type of media. It’s totally worth it for companies to get this level of exposure. It costs millions to make a commercial and put it on a TV that nobody watches any more. Attaching a company name to a fame whore is just good business sense. The ensuing revenues are paying those employee salaries. See, Kim and Crackie are just looking out for those less fortunate!
DUH! You don’t need to be Nostradamus to figure that out. Why would the casino give LL all the money in advance?
Apparently, they like to gamble. 🙂
ahahhaaaaa good one
that was funny!
Good point, Bluehare. Maybe they had wagering behind the scenes to cover their losses.
Gluttony for punishment.
Not even close to Carrie. Just looks like someone took red food coloring and threw it wherever they wanted to. Anyone who works with Lindsay right now should know what will happen. Don’t feel sorry for them. Until she straightens her act out (if she ever will), no one should hire her.
Fun fact: The pig’s “blood” in the original Carrie was made with Karo syrup and red food coloring.
But people keep hiring her! Why should she change?
What exactly was the Oprah deal? Follow LL around and film her new sober life? Since she’s clearly not sober, will Oprah pull the plug or will LL keep that money, too?
Wonder if her lawyer ever got paid!
Why people still give her jobs is beyond me. Late? What does this trick have on her plate that would make her late?
She doesn’t need to dress up, she IS a walking Halloween costume all on her own.
That pisses me off. That’s more than a lot of people make in a year. So ungrateful and inconsiderate.
@MeowuiRose – I know, I feel the same way. but what made me totally ILL was hearing that Kim makes *200k* to show up at a party. I have no words good enough to express my disgust. This world is really f*cked up. (I knew this already, but it bears repeating).
i think the bigger insult here is paying a Kardashian any money. At least LL had a career as an actress, Kim just got peed on
LOL, now THAT’S funny…post of the day.
Narcissists can’t be rehabilitated, it’s in their DNA to act like demanding, deceitful monsters. The whole world should just give up on LL and quit giving her a hand, she’ll only bite it.
Well said.
I think she can change, but she’s on her own…..
That Mayweather guy did the same in being late. I wonder if they are renegotiating his pay as well. I imagine that celebs like the money, but look down on these type of events at the same time. Maybe it is something that comes to be expected? I recall other people being late for low level events. TMZ loves to do Lindsay stories.
@Kiddo – You bring up a good point that I hadn’t even considered. I already knew being late (a-la-Bieber) was a show of incredible arrogance, & a lack of appreciation, but I didnt make the connection that this was a ‘lower level’ event. Maybe it’s some sort of “I’m too good for this, but I’ll deign to flatter you with my presence” statement, &/or a way of insinuating they have more important priorities, & will ‘get to you when I get to you’. It’s not ALL celebs, but maybe just those who feel they have something to prove.
Not all celebs are reduced to these type of gigs. It’s probably a good thing for Mayweather and a rung lower on the ladder for Lindsay. I think the fashionably late thing is to make attendees believe that they are important and needed to be somewhere else first.
I believe this was best expressed by Kanye when he said “you should be honoured by my lateness, that I would even show up for this fake s**t”. Poetry, friends.
Emma, I hate to say it, but that was actually kind of brilliant, funny and ironic, all rolled in one, considering he is going to be married to some fake s.
Except Lindsay is not too good for this gig and she needs the money.
If she screwed it they shouldn’t have paid her. They did, so they should sue her. What an asshole, lol.
I didn’t say she was. But all the participants were late. It seems it’s expected.
If you read the whole story it says even though he was late he interacted with the fans giving autographs and taking pictures with them. Where as Lindsay went straight in to get her party on. While I don’t condone him being late, at least he did what he was supposed to do when he got there.
I read the whole story. I have no idea who Mayweather is, I’d wager that photos with Lindsay would have been much more in demand, if not just from fans, but because of the infamy associated with the sensationalism of her bad press. I’m not a fan of hers, my point is that TMZ made a big stink over her, because, well TMZ. Some celebs are off-limits to them, and others, they go after like rabid pit bulls.
Of course she showed up late. No surprise here. It’s about time the world just give up on this girl. She will NEVER change.
Those who hire her know how it is going to be: if you book Lindsay Lohan for a party you know she will arrive 2 hours later. But they will get publicity for free, so no simpathy from me.
OMG Lindsay Lohan still has fans!?!?! Seriously that is the most shocking part of the story. I mean people are always throwing their cash in garbage pails so hiring her, paying her and her screw up should be expected. But that there are still people who want to see her in any capacity is wow, she should be grateful. (Spoiler she doesn’t care)!
@ Vera, lol!
The lass did the same thing to Oprah. Showing up late, delaying production, etc. Just before Dina’s DUI, Oprah came to see Lindsay at Dina’s house to tell Lindsay that she was going to cancel the Lohanumentry project unless Lindsay got serious about it. In an interview, Oprah made it clear that she was prepared to fire the lass right on the spot unless she was convinced that she could and would stop messing things up for the project. But I bet Oprah wasn’t stupid enough to hand over the money in advance.
Gawd a casino in CT? Were the rich and famous leaving Manhattan in droves to hit that action?
I found it interesting how disappointed Just Say Jenn was about all this Lindsay stuff. Obviously she’s a big fan of 2nd chances.
“For what it’s worth, we’re told Floyd (who was paid about the same as Lindsay) was late too — but he made up for it by spending time with fans, signing autographs and taking photos.”
Were there a lot of takers for this guys autograph? Is he famous for something besides being a ‘Junior’? I’ve never heard of him, and I know of a lot of obscure hangers on.
Oh, I do miss Linnocent on posts like this.
So, let me get this straight…the casino hired a couple of former jailbirds to host their party? (Who on Earth is their PR person…or former I should say after this) LOVELY! And Floyd was classier than Lohan? UGH! I’m going to pretend I didn’t read this. (Plugs ears…LA LA LA LA LA!) Give me my eyeshades…I’m going back to bed.
White Oprah & ML Jr were also at this shindig with The Cracken.
Also, Crackie’ s hair seems to be more strawberry blonde than red in the photos. That’s a bad sign. Crackie is at her worst when she’s blonde.
And this is why capitalism is a sham.
@Lassie: Mayweather is a very, very famous boxer. He’d have more fans than Lilo.
For what it’s worth, he’s also an epic a-hole.
I have a friend who used to work at a bank out west and she had the opportunity to meet both Lohan and Mayweather on her job (different days, of course). She said Lohan was pleasant but a hot mess and that Mayweather was arrogant (and had a big entourage) but he was patient. He waited in line like everyone else and didn’t pull that “don’t you know who I am?” thing when asked for his ID.
EDIT: I find it interesting that Mayweather did this gig. Fifty thousand dollars is chump change to him. Maybe because it was a casino? That dude loves to gamble. Didn’t he bet $30000 on a college football game not too long ago?
50,000!! w.t.f
I work two jobs, office by day waiting tables at night, sometimes 16 hours a day, to make this much a YEAR! just enough to keep me and my child in a decent car and house, sacrificing time with her, and this chick gets this for a night??? with her history?? so over these inflated pay checks… especially for D listers
sorry, tired from all my overtime to get Christmas money together…fml
I really was hoping she would get her sh*t together, but it’s not going to happen. Too many people keep giving her too many chances, so there’s no reason for her to straighten up & fly right. And who’s the idiot at the casino that authorized that check to be cut??
I feel zero sympathy for the casino because when you hire a (proven) loser, you’re going to lose.
I want to call her a loser but she made more money in those hours than I did all year.
Are we sure that’s a Halloween costume? Looks like a typical Lohan Saturday night. Or Tuesday night.
I have no sympathy for anyone who hires her, esp. if they’re dumb enough to give her money up front. But I do hope they can reclaim some of that payment if she didn’t mean the obligations of the contract.
I like the Carrie costume. Haven’t seen that one yet.
This is what adults should do on Halloween – have Halloween parties and dress up in costumes. IMO, adults have no business going trick or treating.
I’m surprised people here don’t know who Merriweather is. Frankly, he needs the money much less than the Cracken. He has over $143 million liquid assets and just got paid $32 million for a heavy weight fight a few months ago. $50k is pocket change to him.
Any jackass who hires her gets exactly what they deserve when she effs it up.
Reading stories like this just annoys me. The fact that celebrities get paid to just show up to places annoys me in general though. It’s sad that Lindsay is messing up her life so much though.
What I don’t understand – other than places keep hiring her – is that she’s paid upfront and the contracts apparently don’t contain clauses like “must be on time or payment is reduced,” or “payment reduced for not posing on red carpet and talking to fans,” or for her and the Kartrashians, “must stay entire length of contracted time.” Why don’t they do that?
What an entitled, arrogant a$$hat.
$50,000 and all she had to do was show up on time to host a party? That’s more than many people earn in a year. How many times does she have to pull this stunt (not show up on time, if she shows up at all, not doing what she was hired to do) before people stop hiring her?
I am stymied by all the sources who keep proclaiming “she’s clean, but likes to party!”–is Oprah behind it? Its very clear she has not changed and is not clean (in any of its meanings), and yet, some sources keep propping her up as this bastion of hard-work-to-maintain-sobriety-starlet. WTF, people? WTF?
I hope the IRS is paying attention to all of these (undoubtedly) cash paydays.
