Lindsay Lohan is so broke she has been asking friends for loans.

The 'Mean Girls' star - who has reportedly blown her entire $7 million fortune on drugs, alcohol and rehab - is said to be so desperate for cash she has resorted to begging close pals for money.

A source told the New York Daily News newspaper: "Lindsay has been openly asking her friends for handouts. She has nothing to spend."

A separate source added: "Lindsay has been unofficially promoting Ariva, by making sure she is photographed carrying the quit-smoking tobacco lozenge wherever she goes. They have officially denied she is their new spokesmodel, but they privately paid her a mid-five figure sum this week."

Lindsay's extravagant spending spree reportedly included $1 million on just one hotel bill.

She has also spent more than $137,000 on three separate stints in rehab battling her drug and alcohol addictions, and thousands more in legal fees for her DUI (driving under the influence) charge.

Lindsay is also thought to have blown more than $1 million on clothes and $500,000 on partying, with another $70,000 spent in tanning and hair salons.

She has been forced her to sell her $2.85 million Los Angeles apartment and her $1 million New York property because she couldn't afford the mortgage payments.

The 21-year-old actress is in such financial strife she allegedly tried to sell photographs of her family Thanksgiving dinner last year.
