Lindsay Lohan's caught in a whole new kind of parent trap.

The actress-singer has been subpoenaed to give a deposition in a lawsuit filed against her mother, Dina Lohan, by record producers Antonio Almeida and Mitchell Chait, who allege that the elder Lohan inked a deal with them to cut an album with her daughter, then broke the contract.

At the tender age of 16, the Mean Girls star, now 20, inked a five-album production deal with producer Emilio Estefan in 2002, with the idea that he would shop her around to a major record label.

According to Almeida and Chait, they worked with the actress to complete half the tracks on an album with Estefan in 2002-03.

Then in 2004, a major record label came calling and Lohan was signed to a long-term recording contract with Tommy Mottola's Casablanca Records, where she subsequently released her debut album, Speak, and its follow-up, A Little More Personal (Raw).

However, the starlet's move to Casablanca did not please Almeida and Chait, who allege they were left on the hook for tens of thousands of dollars, leading them to file suit against Dina Lohan (or, as she's called in their suit, "Dinah") in May.

As a result, Lohan (or "Lindsey," per court documents) has been requested to put in an appearance at a Los Angeles law office on Aug. 29 to discuss the history of her musical career and the role her mother has played in it.

It's just the latest hang-up for the Just My Luck star, who has been having something of an unlucky summer in recent days.

Last week, she was taken to the hospital and heat exhaustion, then received public tongue-lashing from the producer of her upcoming film, Georgia Rule, who accused her of acting like a "spoiled child."

At least this time, she'll have a good excuse for not showing up to work.
