Lohan in talks over giveaway reality show

Lindsay Lohan is in negotiations with 'American Idol' host Ryan Seacrest to present a philanthropic programme that gives disadvantaged people $1m (€720,000) to change their lives.

The pair sparked rumours they were dating when they were seen partying at h.wood in Los Angeles last Thursday.

But Seacrest insisted the meeting was purely business, writing on his Twitter page: "Met with Lindsay last night about a show idea I have for her. It helps people and gives others a second shot! Still putting it all together."

Lohan, 22, also mentioned the show on her Twitter account, writing: "Working on a really great project for television -- I am excited!"

The programme will reportedly give people who are "on the wrong track" a second chance to improve their lives.

Seacrest believes the 22-year-old actress would be a perfect host and judge for the show.

A source said: "Ryan thinks Lindsay would be a great way to start the series, and Lindsay thinks it will help rehabilitate her image. She's very interested."
