Samantha Ronson may want her relationship with Lindsay Lohan to work for more reasons than just love: Since dating the actress, the deejay’s fee per gig has jumped from around $1,500 to as much as $25,000, netting Ronson close to $3 million over the last year.

“While Sam never contractually agrees that Lindsay will show up to her shows, promoters, owners and publicists all know that if you book Sam, there’s a high likelihood Lindsay will also show,” an insider close to the couple told us. “Sam’s now asking for a lot more money to spin, and she’s getting it easily.”

The duo will take Miami by storm again next week as they’ve been hired by SoBe to jointly host New Years Eve at Mansion Miami. Revelers can likely expect one of the public blow ups the sapphic couple have become known for as of late.

At a Miami club last week, Lohan sulked in the corner alone, remarking “Sam is hired to host tonight, not me,” when asked if she was okay.

“They fight every day,” said a friend. “It’s just jealousy and childish bickering over the fact that neither feels the other pays enough attention. While they really do love each other, this relationship will be over by March.”

Adding extra tension is the fact that Ronson’s cutting an album of her own and doesn’t want any help from Lohan. “Sam doesn’t mean that in a bad way. She just wants the record to be about her and not her and Lindsay,” a Ronson confidant told us.

“Meanwhile, Lindsay’s passing on movie roles and job offers just to be with Sam while she tours. It’s a lose-lose situation. Lindsay’s in talks to sign onto a few major movies, but everyone’s worried about how the relationship will affect her career. It’s hurting both of them more than helping either,” our source said. “They’re each really talented, but young. Personally, I wish Lindsay would walk away.”

A friend of Ronson fired back, “Ronson doesn’t need Lindsay to make money. She’s always had money, and relied more on [famous deejay brother] Mark for getting gigs booked. In fact, Sam made Lindsay hot again!”

A rep for Ronson denied the allegations that Sam’s using the relationship for financial gain. As for Lohan, “Lindsay cares about Sam very much,” said her rep.

Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson are about to get engaged in the romance capital of the world.

The happy couple fly out from London tomorrow for a minibreak to Paris – where the lovers will choose their rings.

And then they’ll head back to London, where Sam has been DJing, and announce their engagement to the world.

Looks like we’ve just saved you a job ladies! A source told us: “Sam and Lindsay are in London first to help Sam raise her profile on this side of the pond..

She’s got sets booked but Lindsay’s agreed to support her if it means she gets the photo ops needed.” Aaah… if that’s not love we don’t know what is.

Our spy goes on: “In the meantime, they’ve been planning a romantic getaway to Paris, flying out by private jet.

“After spending weeks discussing rings, they want to visit two leading jewellers there with their finalised design.

“It’s something they’ve been working on and naturally they’re really excited.” Apparently, they’ve plumped for “hip and edgy” rather than “flash and expensive” but we’ll believe that when we see it.

Sam, who flew in from the States yesterday to perform at London’s Chinawhite last night, has a series of work functions in the capital.

Along with Lindsay, she’s due back on Saturday and, fittingly, is set to DJ at Soho’s Cafe de Paris. LiLo, meanwhile, is probably relieved to get away from the States for a bit. The actress has caused outrage there when she called Barack Obama “our first, you know, coloured President”.

Still, the Mean Girls star, whose past conquests include Calum Best, has kept a dignified silence over her relationship with Sam.
She only recently confessed the pair were dating, even though they’ve been together for over a year.

But their relationship has stepped up a gear lately and they have been pictured openly kissing and cuddling.

In a recent interview, the star admitted she did not know whether she would end up marrying a man or a woman. Looks like she’s finally made up her mind….
