The actress chaperoned her 15-year-old sister, Ali, to Nylon’s Young Hollywood party at the Roosevelt Hotel in Los Angeles on Monday but refused to let photographers at the event take shots of her and her sis sitting together. “Lindsay was definitely in party mode, but didn’t want anyone seeing her drink,” a spy said. Elsewhere at the party, heiress Casey Johnson joked to a friend that she and on-again, off-again girlfriend Courtenay Semel have broken up “for like the 50th time.”

Ali Lohan may score a lot of perks thanks to big sis Lindsay – think nights out in Hollywood hotspots, Beverly Hills shopping sprees and the recent trip to Hawaii where the pair wore teensy bikinis and were photographed constantly.

Unfortunately, one thing the 15-year-old starlet isn’t getting from Lindsay is a good role model who’s making positive life choices. Experts say the sibling relationship could actually be harmful to Ali’s mental health.

“If you have an older child who is breaking a lot of the rules and engaging in dangerous and risky behavior, this can have a negative impact on the younger child,” said Dr. Eva Ritvo, psychiatrist and vice chair of psychiatry at the University of Miami School of Medicine.

“Adolescents are trying to break away from their family and they don’t always make the best choices. They’re looking for role models other than their parents, and often turn to peers and older sisters, who can have a very powerful influence on the younger child,” she said.

Impressionable Ali can hardly help but notice Lindsay’s partying, stints in and out of rehab, and her skin-and-bones appearance. But how she reacts to those things could go one of two directions, experts say.

Some teens with out of control older sibs may copy them, while others fall into the role of trying to protect loved ones from the person. “You either try to outdo or you become a caretaker,” says Dr. Keith Ablow, psychiatrist and Fox News contributor, who founded the website www.LivingtheTruth.com.

“The course Ali is taking appears to be more in the direction of copying than in shrinking from the cameras and the revelry,” he said.

Besides the risk of having Ali try to emulate an older sib who’s engaged in some negative behaviors, there’s the danger that she’s not getting enough parental attention because so much of it is focused on Lindsay.

“When you are a sister of the woman the world watches and who is seemingly more heat than light, you can get lost in the attempt to get attention,” Ablow said. “It’s like sibling rivalry on steroids, and to step out of that kind of energy is like stepping out of a tornado and hoping to not get chewed up as you step out of it.”

Psychologist Donna LaMar said that Ali could be helped if a caring adult steps in and offers guidance, support and perspective. That person does not necessarily have to be a relative in order to be effective, she said.

“It could be a teacher or in her case, maybe someone in the business,” LaMar said.

“The person could just say to her, hey what are you doing? What are you searching for and what do you need in your life right now?” What’s important for those close to Ali is to not give up, LaMar said.

“It’s never too late,” she said. “There is always a choice to be made.”

For now, Ali, who was recently spotted holding Lindsay’s hand as they left West Hollywood’s Chateau Marmont together, appears to be choosing Lindsay.

She’s in a tough spot, acknowledged Ablow. “Trying to get what you need as a 15-year-old girl can be a tall order when your sister is very famous and very unpredictable,” he said.

“A 15-year-old should not have to be in the role or either caretaker or competitor, but she should be in a comfortable place where she can become an individual, where she can look at the world with security and choose what defines her.”

For a girl often accused of growing up too fast, 14-year-old Ali Lohan isn’t shy about setting her sights on her first car and learning how to drive.

“I’m so excited (about turning 16),” Lohan told Life & Style. “I always ask my mom, ‘Can I drive your car in the parking lot?’ And she’s like, ‘No.’

Lohan has another two years before she’ll be able to get a learner’s permit, but she told the magazine she’s got her first car picked out. “I want a BMW truck!”

She might be planning on chipping in for gas money though — Lohan recently filed paperwork in L.A. County Superior Court for a work permit to allow her to record with Maloof Music producers.

The Maloof family owns the Palms Casino in Las Vegas, which was often the setting for Ali and her mom Dina’s reality show “Living Lohan,” which also happened to be a Maloof production.

FAMED music manager Johnny Wright is not only saying, “Thanks, but no thanks” to Dina Lohan – he slams her and her daughter Ali in a statement to Page Six.

Last week, we reported that Ali – the 14-year-old younger sister of Lindsay Lohan – and stage mother Dina had been approached by Wright through the Maloof brothers, who own The Palms in Las Vegas and the Sacramento Kings.

Lohan sources said Wright – who steered the Jonas Brothers and Justin Timberlake to the top – offered to manage Ali’s career. At the time, Dina told us via a rep she was interested and would take the meeting.

But forget that.

A scathing statement from Wright’s company states: “Johnny Wright would like to set the record straight regarding his involvement with Ali Lohan.

“Johnny Wright has never met with Ali Lohan, has never been introduced to Ali Lohan, nor has he had a meeting with Ali or Dina Lohan regarding Ali’s music career. While he wishes Ali Lohan the best in all her endeavors, Mr. Wright has never had any intention of speaking with Ali Lohan regarding her career. Any story that has surfaced about such a meeting holds no merit and is completely false.

“Wright Entertainment Group has never had any interest or intention of adding Ali Lohan as an artist on the company’s roster, which currently includes Justin Timberlake, Jonas Brothers, Janet Jackson and Ciara amongst others.”

A rep for Dina and Ali didn’t get back to us. Ali could use the help, though. Her single, “All the Way Around,” flopped this summer, and her show with Dina, “Living Lohan” on E!, isn’t expected to be renewed.

Us Weekly reports in its latest issue, on newsstands now, that the young star of Living Lohan flaunted what looked like overnight curves at a Jonas Brothers concert in East Hampton, NY on August 9.

Just three months earlier, a flatter Lohan hit Fuse for a taping of The Sauce in NYC.

Lohan accidentally auditioned for a porn director on the season finale of her reality show last month.

“Ali obviously had no idea about [director Peter Davy's] past,” her rep told Us. “If she did know, she never would have auditioned for him.”

Lohan has long sought fame.

“I want it so bad,” she told Teen Vogue earlier this year. “So bad you don’t even know. And now, it’s actually happening. I’ve already been asked for my autograph, and it’s just a really good feeling to have.”

Whoops!

On the finale of E!’s Living Lohan, cameras followed 14-year-old Ali Lohan as she went on an audition for the horror movie Trolls.

Unbeknownst to Ali, she auditioned for Peter Davy, director of such adult flicks as Voodoo Lust and Dreams in the Forbidden Zone, TMZ.com reported Wednesday.

“Ali obviously had no idea about Davy’s past,” her rep tells Usmagazine.com. “If she did know, she never would have auditioned for him.”

TMZ.com reports that Ali’s mom Dina “went nuclear” when she got word.

Ali hasn’t been quiet about her desire to be famous.

“I grew up watching Lindsay, and it made me want to do what she does,” she told Teen Vogue earlier this year. “Just the whole vibe. Being there, being on camera, or onstage, with everybody listening to you … it’s so cool when people look up to you.

“I want it so bad,” she said of fame. “So bad you don’t even know. And now, it’s actually happening. I’ve already been asked for my autograph, and it’s just a really good feeling to have.”

First listen of Ali Lohan’s upcoming single, “All The Way Around,” which she says shows off her hip-hop vibe.

The 14-year-old Lohan says the sound of her upcoming album is different from fellow teen star Miley Cyrus: “She’s really good,” Ali tells PEOPLE. “But I have different music than her. It’s a different vibe – it’s definitely a different vibe. Mine is more hip-hop. Kind of like Rihanna.”

During a recent episode of Living Lohan, which chronicles her music and acting career and also stars her mom and older sister Lindsay’s manager, Dina, Ali was shot recording the track, set to be released to the world on iTunes July 14.

“All The Way Around,” recorded at the Maloof Music recording studio at The Palms Hotel in Las Vegas, was produced by Emanuel “Eman” Kiriakou, who’s worked with Nick Lachey and Jordin Sparks. It was co-written by Kara DioGuardi, who was named BMI’s Pop Songwriter of the Year in 2007.

And what about a duet with Lindsay? “I think that would be awesome,” Ali tells PEOPLE. “We talked about it.”

Ali’s not the only Lohan with a single ready to shake up the clubs this summer. In May, Lindsay premiered her track: “Bossy.”

Ali Lohan may be hooking up with a troll.

The E! reality star is director John Carl Buechler’s top choice for a lead role in the big-budget remake of his 1986 camp classic, Troll.

Lindsay’s little sister auditioned last week for the role of the young Eunice St. Clair, who helps Harry Potter Jr. (no relation whatsoever to J.K. Rowling’s gazillion-dollar creation of the same name) fight the evil Torok the Troll.

“She was great,” Buechler tells me. “The camera loves her. She’s a really good actress…I am personally going to fight for her.”

Buechler says the $25 million remake is being financed independently: “It’s a retelling of the original story with some twists.”

The original featured Sonny Bono, June Lockhart and marked the feature-film debut of Julia Louis-Dreyfus.
