Ali Lohan looks for work permit

Ali Lohan is looking to gain permission to work in Los Angeles while still at school.

The 14-year-old sister of Lindsay Lohan has filed papers with the Los Angeles Superior Court in order to allow her to record with producers from Maloof Music.

State law says that minors can only work for a certain number of hours during term time, with any extra work needing special permission from a court.

Lohan is also an aspiring actress, and in May auditioned for a role in High School Musical 3: Senior Year.
