Lindsay Lohan NOT Dropped from Label

Lindsay Lohan might not be able to afford her nose candy much longer since reports have surfaced of her being dropped by her record label. The rumor states that after working for an year and a half on her album, Lindsay has been dropped by Casablanca Records. According to her reps, this isn’t true. Gossip Cop also states that reps for the label have also called crap on the drop story.

And a rep for Universal Music, the parent company of Casablanca, says she’s still on the Casablanca label, with distribution through Universal.

The struggling actress and wanna be fashion VIP is reportedly having trouble finding work that pays, as it has also been revealed that her high-profile work for the Ungaro fashion house has been mostly for clothing. While she reportedly paid for both her stay in Paris as well as her flight, she did manage to snatch about $100,000 worth of clothes in the process.

Per NYMag:

Though last week it was reported that Lindsay is working at Ungaro for free clothes alone, Moufarrige says she’s getting paid: Moufarrige won’t reveal her pay package, saying only that it is “quite enough. It’s expensive”. Given her unpredictability, it is also a risk. Her fragility, says Moufarrige, “has been factored in”. It needs to be.

However, sources have reported that Lindsay has been followed around by a camera crew lately, being followed by a camera crew in Paris at the Vogue party and later when she hit a ton of clubs around town. This is leading many to believe that she’s taken the reality TV high-road, just like many other washed-up, worn-out celebs have. There’s always plan B Lindsay – Sell your Ungaro clothes on ebay for the quick and easy buck. Those pills don’t buy themselves!

Ashanti Dropped From Record Label

If you listened to music about four years ago, you may remember a singer named Ashanti. She had a few songs of her own, sold a few albums. Most importantly, she started showing up with rappers like Fat Joe and Ja Rule on their songs. Coattails…gotta love them.

However, you probably haven’t heard of her recently. That’s likely due to the fact that her last album, ‘The Declaration’, failed to bring in the numbers that her earlier work did. The last time I heard of her was when she spent a couple months making out with Jesse Metcalf for the flick “John Tucker Must Die”, which believe it or not, I love.

Her lack of appeal hasn’t gone unnoticed by her boss, Irv Gotti-label head for The Inc. (formerly Murder Inc. Records). He announced recently that Ashanti and her label are parting ways.

Via MTV News:

“The relationship has run its course. The chemistry of what’s needed — we’re in two totally different places. You’re talking to somebody that took her and shaped and molded her and put her out there for the world, and it blew up. We [hold the record] for the [fastest] selling debut by a female R&B artist — 503 [thousand]. We did it! My views and philosophies and her views and philosophies are not meeting up.”

This is bad news for Ashanti’s esthetician who was likely making nice cash keeping those sideburns of hers under control.

On the bright side, Ashanti is rumored to have turned down a scholarship to Yale in order to pursue her music career. Maybe they’ll reconsider reinstating it?
