Lindsay's Anti-Fan Mail

First Lindsay Lohan got heat exhaustion. Now she's getting flamed.
Just days after the actress was taken to the hospital from the set of her upcoming movie, Georgia Rule, the CEO of Morgan Creek, the production company behind the film, has made it clear that he's not going to accept any drama queen behavior from his star.
In a letter hand-delivered to Lohan at the Los Angeles hotel where she resides and cc'd to her mother, agent and publicist, among others, James G. Robinson cut to the chase, accusing the Mean Girls star of acting like a "spoiled child."
"To date, your actions on Georgia Rule have been discourteous, irresponsible and unprofessional," Robinson wrote in his missive, which is available for perusal on the Smoking Gun Website.
"You have acted like a spoiled child and in doing so have alienated many of your coworkers and endangered the quality of this picture," Robinson added, claiming that Lohan's actions had caused "hundreds of thousands of dollars in damage" to the production.
A spokesperson for Morgan Creek Productions confirmed the letter's authenticity, but said the company had no further comment. There was no immediate comment from Lohan's camp.
Robinson, 70, rather savvily informed his 20-year-old talent that he was "well aware" that her "ongoing all night heavy partying" was the reason for her "so-called exhaustion," rather than the illness to which she had attributed her late arrivals and absences from the set.
Lohan's case probably wasn't helped by the fact that she was spotted out on the town mere hours after she was released from the hospital earlier this week. And she showed no signs of slowing--the actress and beau-of-the-moment Harry Morton were also sighted Thursday night at Hollywood hot spot Hyde.
"We refuse to accept bogus excuses for your behavior," Robinson wrote.
It's not the first time that Lohan's health issues have caused problems for her at work.
In 2004, production on Herbie: Fully Loaded was shut down after the actress was hospitalized for five days due to, you guessed it, "exhaustion."
Apparently hoping to avoid a similar scenario, Robinson warned Lohan that if she continued to show up late or not at all to work, the production company would hold her personally accountable, including pursuing monetary damages against her in addition to taking whatever steps necessary to "preserve the integrity of the Georgia Rule Production and Morgan Creek's financial interests."
Robinson's blistering missive calls into question Lohan's recent attempts to distance herself from her "party girl" image.
"I hate the term 'party girl'--I hate it," Lohan told Harper's Bazaar in the magazine's July issue. "I'm in this career for the longevity of it, not just for doing everything too fast and then running out of steam."
Apparently, Lohan has not yet learned the meaning of "Actions speak louder than words."
