Lindsay LohanD Dipasupil/Getty ImagesSince Lindsay Lohan has been under house arrest forstealing a $2,500 necklace, the star has been catching buzz for allowing viewers to see her in her home-confined habitat.The spokesmodel for bad-girl behavior is now the spokesmodel for Beezid.com, an auction Website.
In this cheaply made but buzzy video going viral on the Web, the actress describes how she discovered the penny-auction Website while "spending some time at home." Blink and you'll miss the 18-second, one-line spot.
The quickie promo shows Lohan looking lovely but lonely on her living room couch with her laptop, she says, “Hey to all my friends. I just want to share with you that during some of my time at home, I found this amazing site with great deals.”
E! Online notes that Lohan received $25,000 for the ad, along with a $10,000 credit on the site. Why did the site select Lohan for the gig? A company rep told E! that they asked her because she's a "huge shopper" who had "extra time right now." Hey, if all else fails, perhaps Lohan has a budding career at QVC. See what you think.
The fallen star also allowed the magazine Life and Style to come over and find out what it's like to be locked into your own home. A spread of her gilded cage is on newsstands now. And it sure stretches the imagination to find her current sentence much of a punishment. Sure, no outings or shopping sprees allowed. But this hardly looks like hell: According to the magazine, the 24-year-old spends 24 hours a day in a $2.5 million, three bedroom, four-bathroom triplex in tony Venice Beach, California.
The living room that Lindsay is pictured in (the same room where her auction ad was filmed)showcases two giant portraits -- of Lindsay Lohan. Lindsay has been forced to face herself on more than one level. Her movie career is at a standstill: She gets more attention for her tabloid anticsthan her acting.
And even when the celeb is released on June 29, she will need to complete 480 hours of community service. Lohan says she's up for it: "I do understand that I need to gain some of the respect back, but I'm willing to work hard for that. I understand the situations I've put myself in, and I don't want to go back to that."
Lohan has an uphill battle: According to the Hollywood Reporter, she was recently replaced in the upcoming indie film "Inferno" with the actress Malin Akerman. She will appear in the new film "Gotti," which begins filming in the fall.
