Lohan hires new publicist

Lindsay Lohan has hired a new publicist.

The troubled actress was reportedly dropped by her spokesman Steve Honig late last month.

The Honig Company began representing Lindsay in early 2011, during which time she was involved in a nasty car accident, discovered unconscious in a hotel room, arrested for a hit-and-run, was suspect in a jewellery heist and involved in a physical altercation with her mother Dina, amongst other incidents.

According to TMZ, Steve finally had enough following her father Michael’s failed intervention on October 19.

The publicist denied having anything to do with its organisation, despite Michael’s claims.

The 26-year-old star has now hired high-powered Hollywood firm Rogers & Cowan to represent her.

According to Deadline.com, the deal was made earlier this week.

The firm has in the past rehabbed the ailing careers of Robert Downey Jr. and Britney Spears.

Steve has remained silent on his decision to relinquish his role.
