Is Samantha Ronson using Lindsay Lohan?

Samantha Ronson may want her relationship with Lindsay Lohan to work for more reasons than just love, NYDailyNews reports. Since dating the actress, the deejay's fee per gig has jumped from around $1,500 to as much as $25,000, netting Ronson close to $3 million over the last year.

"While Sam never contractually agrees that Lindsay will show up to her shows, promoters, owners and publicists all know that if you book Sam, there's a high likelihood Lindsay will also show," an insider close to the couple says. "Sam's now asking for a lot more money to spin, and she's getting it easily."

The duo will take Miami by storm again next week as they've been hired by SoBe to jointly host New Years Eve at Mansion Miami. Revelers can likely expect one of the public blow ups the sapphic couple have become known for as of late.

At a Miami club last week, Lohan sulked in the corner alone, remarking "Sam is hired to host tonight, not me," when asked if she was okay.

"They fight every day," said a friend. "It's just jealousy and childish bickering over the fact that neither feels the other pays enough attention. While they really do love each other, this relationship will be over by March."

Adding extra tension is the fact that Ronson's cutting an album of her own and doesn't want any help from Lohan. "Sam doesn't mean that in a bad way. She just wants the record to be about her and not her and Lindsay," a Ronson confidant told us.

"Meanwhile, Lindsay's passing on movie roles and job offers just to be with Sam while she tours. It's a lose-lose situation. Lindsay's in talks to sign onto a few major movies, but everyone's worried about how the relationship will affect her career. It's hurting both of them more than helping either," our source said. "They're each really talented, but young. Personally, I wish Lindsay would walk away."

A friend of Ronson fired back, "Ronson doesn't need Lindsay to make money. She's always had money, and relied more on [famous deejay brother] Mark for getting gigs booked. In fact, Sam made Lindsay hot again!"

A rep for Ronson denied the allegations that Sam's using the relationship for financial gain. As for Lohan, "Lindsay cares about Sam very much," said her rep.
