The race to cash in on Lohan love child

It’s only been a few days since Michael Lohan came forward claiming 13-year-old Ashley Kaufmann, just might be his secret love child. And before you can say ‘paternity test’ everyone is scrambling to cash in.

Ashley’s mother, Kristi Kaufmann, has wasted no time in exploiting her child, agreeing (likely for cash) to have Ashley’s photos appear in In Touch magazine. And now she’s reportedly trying to get her daughter a record deal following in the footsteps of her possible half-sisters . It looks like Dina Lohan has some competition for the “Mom on the Year” contest.

A source told MSNBC’s The Scoop, “Ashley has more talent than Lindsay or Ali.”

Perhaps that’s not setting the bar all that high but nevertheless a bold statement.

A family source also claims, “Ashley’s singing ability just proves that the family talent comes from Michael, not Dina Lohan.”

Michael Lohan is also trying to cash in and tried to make a deal with both OK! and People Magazines for the exclusive rights to his paternity test results. Michael’s asking price is only around $20,000, but nobody is interested. A Source told Page Six, “He’s approaching everyone to get the highest bid because, if he is the dad, he’s going to need the money for back child support.”
