Lindsay Lohan is turning to the Jewish mysticism of the Kabbalah in an effort to break away from her reputation as a wildchild.

The actress/singer admits she's sick of the perception that she's little more than a party girl and wants to be taken more seriously.

She says, "I want people to know me for the work I'm doing, not for this party girl image."

And she's hoping that the religion championed by Madonna, and dabbled with by pal Paris Hilton and Britney Spears, will help.

Lohan is also planning an awareness trip to Kenya later this year for the One Foundation charity, and she's planning to breakaway from teen movies by starring alongside Meryl Streep, Felicity Huffman and Jane Fonda.
