Sometimes you can’t blame Lindsay Lohan for how she turned out. Enter: her mom. Now that Lindsay is in jail or rehab, Dina Lohan has no income. Now it’s time to turn to Ali to squeeze some cash from that little 15-year-old cow.

With Lindsay Lohan either in jail or in rehab for the foreseeable future, “momager” Dina Lohan is in Los Angeles strategizing how she will pay the bills and keep her family’s name in the media without her daughter’s help. Dina is sitting down for interviews solo this week to give Ali a little time to collect herself, but the mother-daughter pair will soon be appearing together, the insider said.

“Lindsay was the family breadwinner and now that role will shift while she’s away,” the source told FOX411.com. “Dina will sell their story and Ali is the next in line to take over for Lindsay. Dina had hoped that Ali would land some new acting spots while she was living with Lindsay, but that never happened. There was a Nickelodeon show in the works months ago starring Ali, but it fell through.”

“It’s sad to see this happening to Ali, but this is the only life she has known. Her education isn’t a big priority and Ali idolizes Lindsay. Lindsay is the most stable part of Ali’s life and with her leaving, it takes away her security blanket,” said the insider. “It’s always been assumed that Lindsay would take care of her, but with that in question, Ali will be back with Dina. Dina’s rules and Dina’s interviews. Ali will do whatever the family needs.”
