Lindsay Lohan has cancelled her planned 22nd birthday party over fears of negative publicity.

The actress has claimed she will be "in production on a movie" and "can't commit to a specific date”, but a report on the Perez Hilton blog claims Lindsay had been advised to ditch the plans for a lavish bash by her management.

Lindsay, who has set tongues wagging with her close relationship with Samantha Ronson, had set up a website to appeal for corporate sponsorship for the Moroccan-themed bash, but was apparently short of offers following her previous stints in rehab.
