Lindsay Lohan target of spoof charity video directed by Judd Apatow

Celebrity actress Lindsay once again made headlines, however this time for an altogether different reason.

Lohan pokes fun at her own alleged financial woes in a video spoof for the non-profit charity American Jewish World Service (AJWS).

Celebrity actress Lohan, who is now rebabbing at the ultra posh and expensive Betty Ford Center in Rancho Mirage, California, appeared in the public service announcement alongside several other celebrity heavyweights, including comedian Jerry Seinfeld, NBC News anchor Brian Williams, celebrity actor Ben Stiller, and Academy Award-winning celebrity actress Helen Hunt.

Vaunted celebrity director Judd Apatow of 'Knocked Up' fame was brought in to direct the spoof video, poking fun at celebrity actress Lohan’s apparent need for money. Just recently, a Superior Court Judge in California threw out Lohan's request to finish her rehab at an outpatient facility, citing the costs involved for a stay at the Betty Ford Center (around $53,000 for 30 days).

Several other celebrity actors and actresses also took cameo roles in the spoof video.

Just ten days ago, celebrity actress Lohan was on the verge of returning to jail after failing a drug test for cocaine. She instead was ordered to stay at the Betty Ford Center until after the first of the year.

In the video, Lohan says, "Hi I'm Lindsay Lohan and I am not Jewish. But I am happy to be here. These things pay well, right?"
