Lindsay Lohan doesn't always make the best career choices, but she must be kicking herself over this one!

Linds was offered the role of the stripper Jade in The Hangover, but she turned down the gig because she thought the screenplay "had no potential," reports Us Weekly. After Linds passed on the role, Heather Graham snapped it up, and it looks like her character will have an even larger role in the rumored Hangover sequel. The flick has earned $205 million to date, so you can bet Heather walked away with a pretty decent paycheck...

Director Todd Phillips reportedly asked Linds to star in the summer blockbuster after their mutual agent pushed for him to hire the 23-year-old starlet. "The agent tried hard to get Phillips to consider her," a source tells the mag. "When he finally agreed, Lindsay said she didn't like the script!"

Lindsay was snapped shopping in LA yesterday, and just think of how much more spending she could be doing if she had taken that job...oh Lindsay, we wish you would listen to your management team! They know what's best!
