Today in fables of the rich and famous: the warlock helps the troubled Hollywood princess pay off her IRS debt.

After having her assets frozen by the IRS, beleaguered sometime-actress Lindsay Lohan is beginning to chip away at her massive debt with the help of America's scariest role model Charlie Sheen. Lohan reportedly paid off roughly half of what she owes with $100,000 gifted to her by the former "Two and a Half Men" star, according to TMZ.

The "Liz & Dick" star's accounts were seized by the IRS earlier this month in an effort to recover $233,904 in unpaid taxes from 2009 and 2011 and an unspecified amount from 2011, TMZ.com first reported. The IRS reportedly grew impatient with the sometime actress when she failed to pay her debt after earning a reported $2 million last year.

With the help of Sheen's money, Lohan was able to pay off all of her outstanding 2009 tax bill for $93,701 all together. The "Mean Girls" star reportedly used the remaining $6,300 to begin paying off her 2010 tax bill for $140,203.

"I'm very concerned," dad Michael Lohan told the New York Daily News after hearing of his daughter's debt. "Where is all her money going?"

"I care about one thing: Lindsay's life," Michael Lohan said. "I know she's drinking again, and that's bad enough. What happens if she goes to jail? They don't detox you in jail. I want her in rehab. I wanted her in rehab six months ago."

Lohan's debt is just the latest in a seemingly never-ending stream of problems facing the young star. The actress has been imprisoned six times now, according to ABC News, although she has spent less than two weeks in jail. Last year, she spent 35 days under house arrest after pleading no contest to stealing a $2,500 necklace. She remains on informal probation for that theft, which means she doesn't have to check in with a judge or probation officer but could face a jail term if arrested.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Stephanie Sautner took Lohan off probation from her 2007 DUI case in March. While in court, Sautner commended Lohan for doing "everything that this court has asked of her," including completing 60 days of community service and multiple psychological counseling sessions, and offered her some advice: "Stop the nightclubbing and focus on your work."

Recently, Lohan was once again arrested. In the early hours of Nov. 29 and charged with third-degree assault after reportedly taking place in a brawl at trendy New York City nightclub Avenue, reported ABC News. Lohan was arrested on a misdemeanor charge after she allegedly punched Tiffany Eve Mitchell at Club Avenue on 10th Avenue and 17th street at around 4 a.m.
