Ne-Yo is a busy man. The hitmaker is going on tour with Alicia Keys and Jordin Sparks to promote his platinum sophomore album, Because of You, and thinking up a theme for his third album. Still, he finds time to craft future hits for other artists. One such artist is Lindsay Lohan.

The actress/pop star is looking to follow-up her 2005 album, A Little More Personal (Raw), with a dance album she describes as “Kylie Minogue meets Rihanna.” USA Today reports Ne-Yo will help with writing and production on her first Motown Records release. -

Don’t act like you never caught yourself dancing to Rumors or belting Confessions of a Broken Heart (Daughter to Father) . Hey, if it keeps her sober I say good luck, Linds!
