Celebrity Justice
Lindsay to Be Questioned in Mom's Fraud Lawsuit

Posted Aug 1st 2006 8:23PM by TMZ Staff

It's been a bad week for Lindsay Lohan. First she went home "dehydrated" from the set of her new film "Georgia Rule." Then the head of the film's production company sent her a letter chastising her for what he called her "discourteous, irresponsible and unprofessional" behavior and her poor attendance record on the set. Now La Lohan has been summoned to be questioned in her mom Dina's court battle over a music deal.

Dina Lohan is being sued for fraud after signing her daughter to a record deal with producers Antonio Almeida and Mitchell Chait. Almeida and Chait claim that in 2002 and 2003 they helped Lindsay cut half of the tracks of her album "Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen." The suit alleges tens of thousands of dollars were given to Lohan, but the star jumped ship and recorded the album with music mogul Tommy Mottola instead, leaving them high and dry.

Lindsay has now been subpoenaed to testify in this case, according to documents filed today in Los Angeles County Superior Court.

The Vegas duo is asking Lohan to be present at law offices of Costa, Abrams, and Coate LLP in Los Angeles on August 29, 2006, for an oral deposition.

Lindsay's reps did not immediately return TMZ's request for comment.

1. Lindsay's mother is a greedy bitch.

2. That Lindsay Lohan is making me so angry. Jane Fonda should bitch slap her on the set. I live in Orange County, CA, and it seems like all the young woman here and up in the LA area are trying to emulate this young woman or Paris Hilton in style and demeanor. I don't know if this is true about other parts of the country. I wish we had role models like Eleanor Roosevelt for our young woman of today, and not these trashy cunts.

5. What are you so angry about? I'm with everybody else that her behavior is from from commendable, but what is there to be angry about? Was it your money? How is her poor behavior directly affecting you?

6. Lindsay doesn't have an album called "Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen." She has a movie called that and one or two songs on the soundtrack. But not an album.

7. The mom is worried her cash cow will dry up. Then she would have to work at a real job to make a living.

9. Looks like she's (Lindsay) on a sinking vessel. Too bad she can't jump off her own ship.

10. I love how Dina says Lindsey works harder than a call girl. If her daughter was so sick why does Dina sign her up for movie after movie. I agree the mother needs to get a job and let her daughter's be children again. I hope they sue the pants off of them. I'm tired of Lindsey trash behavior.

11. Lindsay and her mom are starting to have as many legal problems as Michael Jackson.

12. The great philospher, Richard Pryor once said, "You follow one home, one answers the door." He cursed in it a little bit, but I want go there. When she defended her daughter's absences from the set recently, she appeared to be a hanger-on.

13. Dina ... you want people to sympathize with "poor Lindsay" because she's just a child ... she has asthma ... etc ... etc ...

Honey ... your daughter lives an irresponsible and erratic life! I think you should start with "mothering" your wild child before you attack Hollywood for criticizing her "blatant" behavior. She needs to tone it down a bit. The same media you loathe, is the media who puts her on covers of magazines. Get a clue.

15. I'm sick of the overexposure of these insubstantial people (celebrities), and as a result happy to see your exposure of their outrageous doings. Maybe it will restore some balance. Lindsay Lohan - what a modest talent -give me a break. As a professional it's so obvious to me that she has narcissistic personality disorder and a substance abuse problem
