Island Records Dumps Lindsay Lohan

After getting in trouble for collapsing due to heat exhaustion on the set of her new movie, Georgia Rule, Lohan was not-so-privately chastised for her late-night partying and her lack of professionalism around the movie set. Now, Lohan will have one less obligation to handle, as her record label, Island Records, has reportedly chopped her off their slate.

As Ireland On-Line lays it out, "Lindsay Lohan has reportedly been fired by her UK record label Island Records after she failed to travel to London for a planned promotional campaign for her album Speak." Somewhat ironically, the single Lohan refused to promote was entitled 'Over', which may aptly describe her career as a pop singer.

The British paper, The Sun quoted an industry insider as saying "A single was a huge flop over here because Lindsay couldn't be bothered to get off her bum and promote it. In the end they didn't even bother releasing the album, called Speak, in Britain. She didn't bother to come over to the UK to do interviews or make TV appearances to help sell the album. Island have now decided not to do another one with her."

Things have been rough for Lindsay Lohan in the past week or so. First, she was overcome by the heat on the set of Georgia Rule, and had to be taken to the hospital (it was 105 degrees on set that day). After that, a letter from the Morgan Creek producer of Georgia Rule, James G. Robinson, appeared on the website, The Smoking Gun. The letter insinuated it was Lohan's partying ways that sent her to the hospital. Lindsay's mother, Dina Lohan, then burst out at the producers for attacking her. Now this.

Lindsay Lohan, who turned 20 a month ago, has been a triple threat in the public eye. She began acting on TV in Another World, not including her several commercial spots, before she turned to film. Her first role was in The Parent Trap in 1997, though it would be 2003 when she landed her next role, which was alongside Jamie Lee Curtis in Freaky Friday. Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen and Mean Girls would be Lohan's true breakout films. Since then, she has done Herbie: Fully Loaded, Just My Luck and A Prairie Home Companion, and is now doing Georgia Rule. Her triple threat comes from her early modeling, her acting, and her singing. Lohan sang on the Freaky Friday soundtrack, as well as the Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen soundtrack.

The album that UK record execs shelved, Speak, was actually her first of two albums she has released in the United States. Speak peaked at #4 on U.S. charts, selling 1.1 million albums domestically. Her follow-up, A Little More Personal (Raw) has sold half a million albums in the U.S., and reached the height of #20 on the charts.
