Is Lindsay Lohan’s career is a fashion a labor of love? Earlier this month, Lindsay earned the position as an artistic advisor to fashion house Emanuel Ungaro — an honor later dimmed by poor reviews of her first collection for the line with designer Estrella Archs at Paris Spring/Summer 2010 Fashion Week.

But according to FOX News, free clothes may be Lindsay’s only payment for the pretigious gig.

“Ungaro is not paying her at all to be a consultant for them,” a source reportedly close to Lindsay told FOX’s 411 Blog on Friday. “Her team is working to get Lindsay some form of payment from the fashion house, but right now they will only give her free clothes.”

However, in an interview with Times of London on Sunday, Emanuel Ungaro CEO Mounir Moufarrige insisted Linds is being paid “quite enough” for her new position.

“It’s expensive,” he said.

A second source claims recording has been suspended on the star’s long-delayed third album.

“Casablanca [Records] has suspended all further recording sessions of her album and put their working relationship with her on hold,” the tattling tipster told FOX. “Lindsay was committed to making music and has been working on it for 16 months. She is going to go what she can to keep her music career going.”
