Lohan works for American Red Cross

Lindsay Lohan has begun working for the American Red Cross in LA as part of her community service.

According to US reports, Lohan arrived at the Red Cross facility at 7pm yesterday carrying a book called Blood under her arm.

The actress is performing the community work as part of a deal she negotiated for her two DUI convictions during the summer.

Lohan has been allowed by the courts to reduce her four-day jail sentence by working ten days of community service.

The Hollywood star has been working on her new film Dare To Love Me since departing the Cirque Lodge rehab centre in Utah last month.
