Lindsay Lohan having charity clear-out

Lindsay Lohan is selling off her possessions for charity.

The 'Mean Girls' actress is gutting her home to help her "move forward" emotionally and will sell off the unwanted items to raise funds for good causes.

Her mother Dina revealed: "Lindsay's growing up and she's been through a lot. She's trying to move forward.

"We're donating a lot of it to charity. Some of it will go on our Web site lohanhouse.com."

Dina says a lot of Lindsay's possessions are designer items she has been given for free or exclusive items from showbiz events she has attended.

The 47-year-old reality TV star added: "It's not just stuff that she bought. A lot if it is gifted so it's not necessarily stuff she buys. Like, a company will send five pairs of jeans. So we're going to donate items like that."

Lindsay - who has an on/off relationship with Samantha Ronson - can't wait to get rid of many of the items and start afresh.

The 23-year-old actress said: "There are a lot of people that are there for the wrong reasons. I started to realise a lot more was being taken from me than was given. It became more draining than anything else. In this industry people build you up to knock you down. If everything is in its place then I will be able to breathe.

"The biggest problem is that I have a lot of stuff. I finally have most of it in one place."

Video footage recorded by US TV show 'The Insider' from inside Lindsay's mansion shows rooms piled high with clothes, boxes of shoes stacked to the ceiling and discarded purchases lying unopened.

Lindsay explained to 'Clean House' presenter Neicy Nash: "This is my home. I just want to be much more serene in here and clear."
