Craps: Lohan Vegas Bash May Be A Bust

Lindsay Lohan's second stint in rehab could cost thousands of dollars in sponsorships for her two-day Vegas birthday bash, according to the New York Daily News.

The starlet had been planning to celebrate the July 2 milestone birthday in Sin City.

The newspaper says that the first sponsor to back out of the event was Svedka vodka. Now Caesars Palace, the Social House restaurant at Treasure Island and Pure nightclub, are wondering whether it makes sense for the star to jet to Vegas after she checks out of rehab.

She is reportedly expected to spend 30 days in Malibu's Promises facility, which means she would be released the week before the party.

One insider told the newspaper: "Rules are much stricter in Vegas than in New York or L.A. because we have casino gaming (licenses). When Ashlee Simpson did her 21st at Pure, they had to keep her on the red carpet literally until 12:01 a.m. on the day of her birthday."

The company that is handling the birthday events would not comment to the newspaper on whether things are going ahead as planned. "We think the world of Lindsay and wish her the best," a spokeswoman said.

Some of the sponsors may be more on edge since authorities in California are reportedly conducting undercover operations at trendy celebrity hang outs in Beverly Hills to determine if Lohan was served alcoholic beverages before her car crash over Memorial weekend.

Lohan told Ellen DeGeneres earlier this month about her birthday plans.

"I think it's been a long time coming for some of my friends that have clubs out in Los Angeles. They don't have to worry about getting into trouble because I'm underage," she said. "I think I'm doing a party in Vegas, which makes sense because I've never been able to go out there. I have never gambled there."

Lohan's birthday party isn't the only thing that is potentially in jeopardy. The Associated Press reported on Wednesday that although she was scheduled to begin work on the film "Poor Thing" this week, the film's producers, actress Shirley MacLaine and Rob Hickman trying to rearrange the shoot to accommodate her rehab stint.

30 DAYS IN REHAB IS NOT ENOUGH!

Totally agree!! a few B movies at best. Why does everyone act like she's the second coming of Katherine Hepburn? She's just a "passable" actress like so many of the starlets these days. Just so average. She's only pretty because of all her Hollywood makeup. AND she has a totally annoying, scratchy voice. Best lay off those ciggs girl.

They should recast her role in the movie... She obivously doesn't care about it.

so why does she need sponsors? Is she too poor to have a party? There is no mention that this is a charitable event.
These stars get sponsors for their personal parties and then whine when they want privacy.
Regardless of their lifestyle, NO celebrity warrents sponsorship of a personal event, unless it is for charity.

POOR CHILD! SHE HAS NEVER HAD A SOLID HOME ENVIRONMENT. SHE NEEDS A LOT MORE THAN REHAB. SHE NEEDS SOMEONE THAT REALLY CARES FOR HER. ALL THAT YOUTH AND TALENT WASTED. UNFORTUNATELY THIS HAS TO HAPPEN SOON BEFORE SOMETHING REAL BAD HAPPENS TO THIS YOUNG GIRL. SHE DOES NOT NEED A PARTY IN LAS VEGAS. WHAT SHE NEEDS IS A LOT OF "TLC" FROM SOME ONE THAT CAN GIVE HER SOME "BASIC TOUGH LOVE". ALL THE MONEY IN THE WORLD WILL NOT BUY HER THE LOVE & SECURITY THAT SHE IS SEEKING.
