One of the last places you’d expect to find Lindsay Lohan, other than an AA meeting is at an event promoting healthy lifestyles.

Lohan’s latest paid appearance has to be the most ridiculous pairing of a celebrity and product ever, Healthy Lifestyle Magazine. Just remember their poor judgment next time you go to pick up a copy of that magazine on the Newsstand.

By now you know, mostly because I’ve drilled into your heads, when you see a celebrity showing up at an event, even some benefit events, you can bet your bottom dollar — they’ve been paid to be there.

The reason businesses hire celebrities is quite simple, once a celebrity shows up, with all the paparazzi in tow, it equals publicity for their product or service. Remember, Lindsay had just completed her PAID appearances for new boy band, The Wanted.

It is likely that Lohan is presented with the list of suitors each week seeking her presence at a party or event. Then it’s just a question of how much. If you’re Jessica Alba, you might get anywhere between $30,000 and $100,000 to show up, if you’re Ashley Tisdale, you might get anywhere between $2,500 and $10,000 to be there. But if you’re Lindsay Lohan, that amount vary from day to day and at this low point in her career, she is lucky if someone is willing to pay her $20,000, which is a night out on the town for Lindsay.
