WTF! LINDSAY LOHAN SAYS SHE'S BROKE!

Party hearty Lindsay Lohan is crying poverty.
The supposedly shaky state of Lohan's finances was revealed Friday in a probation report after a Beverly Hills judge ordered the drug-addled actress to go back into rehab - but spared her a stint in jail.

"She indicates she can not afford to continue to pay for the treatment program and she needs to work," the probation officer wrote. "The defendant states her clothing line is falling apart because she is not available to monitor the product."

Lohan is scheduled to start shooting a movie about doomed porn star Linda Lovelace next month called "Inferno." Under Judge Elden Fox's ruling, Lohan won't be allowed out of the Betty Ford Center until after the New Year - so she can't make any money.

We're not replacing her with another person," "Inferno" director Matthew Wilder told the Daily News, who said he hoped to start production shortly after her release.

"She's good and productive and thinking about life beyond [rehab]," he said. "I think she feels a little cooped up there, but she's okay."

There have been reports that the high-living "Mean Girls" actress was having money troubles, but this is the first time Lohan has said she was strapped for cash.

A source in Lohan's camp insisted on Friday that she had enough dough to pay for the three-month rehab stint.

Still, in an ominous sign for Lohan's bottom line, the popular New York-based designer apparel liquidation site Gilt.com had an online sample sale this week offering 60% off Lohan's 6126 clothing line.

A once-promising 24-year-old actress, she has become better known for her drug problems and dysfunctional family. Lohan is on probation for a 2007 misdemeanor conviction on back-to-back DUIs.

Last month, she flunked a drug test and spent 14 hours in the pokey before she was bailed out and sent to Betty Ford.

Over the summer, Lohan spent 14 days in jail for missing alcohol education classes and then served 23 days of a 90-day inpatient rehab sentence.

So Lohan was facing an angry prosecutor - who wanted to send her to jail for 180 days for violating her probation twice - and a no-nonsense judge when she arrived at the Beverly Hills courthouse.

Instead, Lohan got a lecture from Fox about getting "serious" about sobriety and was ordered to go back to Betty Ford - her fifth stint in rehab - and stay there until Jan. 3.

"You're staying there past the New Year, there's a reason for that," the judge said, as scattered laughter erupted in the courtroom. Fox quickly cut off the tittering and made sure Lohan got his message.

"You are an addict," the judge told Lohan. "I hope you understand that."

Fox said he expected to see Lohan back in court "if you make it to Feb. 25," the date of her next scheduled appearance.
