London: Actress Lindsay Lohan is to replace Britney Spears as the host of a Scandinavian Style Mansion gala to be held in Los Angeles soon.

The Danish businessman Claus Hjelmbak had initially asked Spears to host but retracted after she was admitted to the hospital, contactmusic.com reports.

He said: "I personally feel that the most important thing for her now is to focus on her health and get the help she needs and deserves."

Lohan's representative confirmed that she was approached to host the party, which promotes Scandinavian products. Spears had celebrated her 26th birthday at a Scandinavian Style Mansion event last December.
