As Lindsay Lohan’s once burgeoning film career careens head-on into a wall of her own construction, captains of other predatory industries are creeping out of darkened corner offices to try and convince her to make money for them.

Guided by Casablanca label head Tommy Mottola, Lohan recorded the 2004 CD “Speak,” which sold a respectable 1.6 million copies here and abroad. Her 2005 followup, “A Little More Personal,” did more than 600,000 units.

Mottola had been after Lohan to get back into the studio, but she didn’t have time with all the movies she was making. Then came her two DUI arrests and a charge of cocaine possession. Amid reports that insurance companies were afraid to bond her pictures, her schedule freed up.

Lindsay is certainly less of a gamble as a singer. “A record by Lindsay Lohan costs almost nothing to make,” says one exec. “She doesn’t need a big band. You just give her some songs and session musicians. And, God knows, she already has name recognition.
