Lindsay Lohan’s big London stage debut, with “Speed the Plow,” didn’t exactly pan out as she expected, with many reviewers labeling her performance a sheer “disaster” and a “trainwreck.” Given that her career across the pond is pretty much over because no one wants to work with her anymore, she’s feeling the pinch financially already.

Once a critics’ darling and fan-favorite, Lindsay’s star has faded considerably in recent years because of her drug and alcohol problems and a very obvious inability to be professional on set. At this point, she’s burned about all bridges she could possibly burn.

Her trip to London was the only one that could have saved her, because she’d finally found someone willing to give her another shot.

Lohan is desperate for cash because she’s burned through her millions

Based on first night reviews, she shouldn’t be holding out hope that she would be a roaring success on stage in the play. On premiere night, she flubbed her lines and performed to a half-empty venue, despite the fact that she’d done several major interviews prior to it, in the hope of getting more people interested in seeing her live.

As these things go, interest in the play will probably drop with her new show, so things are really not looking up for her.

This leaves her with a huge problem: what is she to do for money? How is she supposed to continue living as she did until now when she’s not making a single buck because all offers, be they for movies or endorsements deals, have dried up?

Lohan is believed to have burned through all the millions she made as a child actor, so things are bad.

Her only option right now is to marry into money

According to the latest print issue of Star magazine (story via CB), Lohan has come to the decision that the only way she can do all of the above is if she finds herself a sugar daddy while in the British capital. Apparently, they have those on every corner over there.      

“Lilo wants a rich Brit and doesn’t care how old he is,” an unnamed source dishes for the tab. “She wants to pull an Anna Nicole.”

That would be the famous Anna Nicole Smith, the late Playboy Bunny who married millionaire J. Howard Marshall II when he was 89 and she was just 26, who wrote “the book” on golddigging. Word has it that she and her husband, who died within a year of the nuptials, never consummated their marriage, didn’t live together, and didn’t even kiss for more than 10 times, but Anna Nicole insisted what they had was true love.

Lohan wants that kind of “true love” too. “She’s asking everyone she knows to find her a sugar daddy… she doesn’t even seem embarrassed to ask,” the insider adds.

If everything else fails…

At the end of the day, this could be Lindsay’s way out – assuming there’s any truth to the report. If she found someone to take care of her, perhaps he could also convince her to get her life back in order and focus on more important things than she’s focusing on right now.

She could, for instance, go away for a few years and make a proper comeback when she was truly ready. She’d also have financial backing then, which would open more doors to her and would convince the same industry people that are avoiding her today to give her another chance.
