What if Lindsay has been telling the truth all along? What if she really did “lose” her passport – or what if it really was “stolen” by someone working for her father? What if she really did have to be in Texas to shoot a film? What if she really was intending to cut her Cannes party-hopping short to fly to LA in time for her court hearing? What sort of Twilight Zone world would that be?
On Tuesday, I called Lindsay out on what seemed to be yet another cracked-out lie during her court hearing – she claimed she shouldn’t have to wear the SCRAM bracelet and stay in LA because she had to film a movie in Texas. TMZ and Radar had a field day with that one, pointing out that the two films Lindsay is attached to – Inferno and Machete – have no work for her in Texas. Oh-so-conveniently, E! News ran a suspicious piece yesterday “correcting” all of us and claiming that Lindsay is, in fact, supposed to do a film in Texas. She’s “in talks” for a part in The Dry Gulch Kid, which shoots in Texas this summer. The film’s producer told E!: “We are in talks, but nothing is confirmed yet. Hopefully she’ll let us know in the next few days. She’s a good actress. The ankle bracelet means nothing to us. We can take care of that.” After that sketchy statement (WTF?), the producer claims that Johnny Knoxville is attached, and that they hope to also cast Owen Wilson and Woody Harrelson. Good luck with that. If Blohan is associated, I don’t see any A, B or C-list talent wanting to associate themselves with it. And she is, after all, just “in talks”. She doesn’t have the job yet. Verdict: Still a crackhead liar.
Meanwhile, Radar has “proof” that Lindsay really did have a ticket back to LA, the “proof” that her lawyer couldn’t come up with when challenged by the judge. Radar got their hands on her May 19 ticket – which Lindsay had only bought the day before, at a cost of $$6860.50. Radar has a copy here. Here’s more:
Lindsay Lohan DID have a ticket to return to Los Angeles from France before her passport was mysteriously stolen, and RadarOnline.com has exclusively obtained the document that proves it.
The controversy over whether or not Lohan had a ticket home in time for her mandatory court appearance last week was one of the major dramas of the Lohan saga. And missing that court date caused a bench warrant to be issued for Lindsay.
After Monday’s hearing, Los Angeles Deputy District Attorney Danette Meyers told RadarOnline.com that Lohan’s top league eagle, Shawn Chapman Holley, was unable to produce a ticket confirming the sometime actress, all-time party girl planned to come home in time for her date with justice.
“All I got was an itinerary for travel on May 18th, and not a plane ticket,” Meyers said.
“I did get a copy of Ms. Lohan’s plane ticket and boarding pass for May 22nd.”
It’s all true. All Meyers received was a travel invoice from a travel agency, issued on May 18, that showed Lindsay Denise Lohan was booked on a Swiss International Airlines flight to depart Nice and arrive in Los Angeles, stopping over in Zurich.
On that document , it clearly states Lohan was scheduled to arrive at LAX at 1.10pm on May 19 — well in time for her to make the mandatory court date. The flight was paid for on May 18 — and cost a staggering $6860.50. But here’s the smoking gun.
RadarOnline.com confirmed that the itinerary was not only valid – but that a ticket was indeed issued. The ticket number on the invoice was indeed a legitimate booking for Lohan. We also confirmed the ticket was never used.
That’s because when Lohan went to check in for the long-haul flight, Swiss could not issue her with a boarding pass and ticket, as she could not present a passport.
Her next probation hearing is set for July 6th.

What kills me every damn time when I hear the oh-so-tragic story of how Lindsay was “trying” to get to LA for her court date is the simple fact that she showed up to the airport and tried to board the plane – without her passport. Her actions belie her crackheadedness. So… what’s more likely, honestly? That Lindsay really wanted to get home, so much that she bought a nearly $7000 ticket, or that she intended to stay in Cannes the whole time, partying her ass off and she just bought the ticket to cover her tracks?
P.S. Is it just me, or is she looking very Kate Bosworth in these photos? I also hate that I love those dark jeans.

I want those jeans!
Is it the second part of a round-trip ticket or a one-way ticket? Where was the ticket on Monday for court? Did Lindsay want to go to court or party in Cannes, thinking she would get no more than a slap on the wrist?
Anything associated with Lindsay is fishy.
I still don’t buy it. Blohan and the truth just don’t mix.
Gotta admit she’s looking better and it’s not just the blonde hair. I think it’s the clean bit that’s doing it. Those eyes are wide open where before they were little slits. Man, I hope this bracelet thing works. Now to just strip her of that sense of entitlement and we’re good to go.
as an old boss used to say “even a blind squirrel can find a nut now & again”
enough stuff falls out of her mouth, some truth will fall out by accident.
Yup- flare jeans to cover the SCRAM bracelet.
Honestly, I’m shocked she’s kept out of the clubs this long- although apparently that photo is of her exiting a “private residence”, so she’s still going to house parties.
Yeah – not gonna hate, she looks cute here.
I don’t buy it, either. If she was really planning on coming home, why DIDN’T she have a round trip ticket? & why spend the cash when she knew she didn’t have a passport? She only bought that to have something to show the judge, but had no intention of leaving Cannes.
It’s a sad state of affairs when people think you look better just because you can open your eyes! Her face still looks bloated to me.
Is it common practice to buy a ticket the day before you want/need to come home?
When i travel, I usually have a return ticket in hand well in advance so i can plan the trip appropriately.
If you have an important court date that requires you to fly half way around the world, wouldnt you want to buy the ticket well in advance to ensure the flight is available/not full/etc.
she may have had a ticket – doesn’t mean she was going to get on the plane…but her face looks better here than any of the recent pics…not bloated or puffy…
Sorry ladies, but I think the jeans make her look dumpy.
And her face is rounder. Does not being cracked out cause you to put on the weight or is it some kind of creepy bloat thing? (That part wasn’t entirely meant to be mean; I am actually curious about it and have no point of reference.)
She has had some fillers in her face…botox or something like it. It is sad that she has to fill in wrinkles at her age.
Thank god for the SCRAM bracelet-Lindsay’s finally wearing PANTS!!
I’m torn between thinking she bought the ticket purposely as a cover-up for the ‘stolen passport’ story, and thinking she’s too cracked out to think that far ahead. hm…
OMG Lindsey looks amazing in these shots. This is what a couple days without drugs and booze looks like for Lindsey, and this is all the proof we need that she has been abusing those substances. She looked like a drugged up hooker/stripper with long greasey black hair in France.
haha yah her legging days are OVAH!
I like her jeans too. She looks like she has put on some pounds, but I think it may be the seams on the jeans. I have some jeans that have well placed white stiching that make my legs look sooooo skinny and long. Love them. She still looks gross to me though. I wish she would go back to red hair.
so, Ana…what brand are those jeans that make your legs look skinny and long?
ME WANT!
This is the problem with Lindsay. Even if she is telling the truth, no one would believe it because she’s so full of sh*t most of the time.
She looks so much better blonde. As for the rest of it, who knows? It sounds a bit sketchy and with the past behaviors, it’s no surprise people don’t believe her. I hope she can overcome her addictions and get healthy again.
@texasmum LOL. only positive thing I could think of to say 🙂
Agree with most here; she bought the ticket to cover her ass, and had no intention of getting on the plane. The judge wasn’t born yesterday, isn’t it just TOO coincidental that of all the celebrities at Cannes, Lohan’s passport should be the one reported missing. The ONE person who shouldn’t have been there in the first place, and needed to be back in the U.S. for something as important as a court date. I think she orchestrated the whole thing to get the publicity. She loves the drama, to the point that she puts herself in situations that may be humiliating to the average person, but to her is just another way to get attention and press. It takes all kind to make up this world, and Lindsay represents the spoiled, attention-seeking, delusional demographic to a “T”!
She looks better yes but saying that she still looks plastic and old – she doesn’t have her youthful freshness anymore
look, she’s wearing pants, just like a real live girl.
She is hard to believe because she is the Hollywood version of the ‘Boy who cried wolf’, or in her case the ‘junkie ex-starlet who cried sober’.
I LOVE those jeans as well, granted they probably cost $800 bucks, I think I will stick to my Levis and Luckys. And I think she really looks quite pretty in the pics.
Don’t know if its the two days of sobriety, but she looks better.
OMG that picture, she’s been off the booze for two days and she already looks so much better
The point is, even if she did lose the passport, the judge had no reason to let it slide. She was on probation, she was being sketchy about her alcohol ed classes, and she took a risk going to Cannes assuming that she could get back in time (this is of course assuming that she intended to in the first place) and lost.
As much as she looks good in those photos (she’s drinking kombucha, which has trace amounts of alcohol in it, maybe to wean herself off?) it could also just be the flash going off in her face. And perhaps she had had Botox or something in the past few days because god knows she needs toxic substances in her body to keep her (barely) functioning.
That proves nothing. All first class tickets are fully refundable/exchangeable. She likely bought it with no intention of actually boarding the flight. Her assistant or whoever books her travel for her would surely know that the ticket could be changed to another date. If she was so determined to make it back for court she would have had a round-trip ticket in advance to ensure she was on the flight.
Hey! I think I have those jeans! And I love them. Always get compliments. Just bought them a couple of weeks ago. They say “Talk Pretty to Me” on the fly under the flap, and the label is “Kensie Denim”. I had to shorten them a bit though, since I don’t wear platforms in my real-world life, lol.
The thing is, if she was serious about ANY of this, she would have not gone to France days before she was to appear in court! Or, at the very least, she would have booked a return flight when she booked her travel in the first place. Passport stolen – that is just hilarious and EXPECTED from her. Look at her history – super late or no shows at all the other court appearances. Her sense of entitlement never ceases to amaze me, especially since she is hardly even at D list status these days. If she showed any signs of slowing down on the party circuit, I guarantee she could bounce back and reclaim her once promising career. It’s a shame she lives in such a delusional and dysfunctional world and has a mom and handlers/”friends” that don’t urge her to get the help she needs. And all this “I can’t wear a SCRAM bracelet – I have to shoot in Texas soon.” BULLSHIT! I’m glad the judge is not buyin that crap. She needs to be spanked!
I like the jeans…she looks a bit better.
HOW is her hair still attached after dying it black and bleaching it so many times? Stupid.
She looks stoned to me in the second picture. Does anybody know if the SCRAM picks up cocaine or pot use? Probably not, I’m guessing. Also, she has prescriptions for Adderal and lord knows what else, so she’ll just quit the booze and continue everything else.
She looks good in those pictures. It might be that she isn’t f*cked up because of the probation and SCRAM…
I see the Bosworth likeness too.
does anyone think she bleached out her hair prior to drug testing?
(in the event they wanted to do a strand test?)
that way if something odd came up she could blame the peroxide, or the shampoo, or the stylist since nothing is ever her fault?
I think she looks high as a kite here. Especially in the pic with the blue turtle.
And as thought provoking as it was to consider whether she may have been telling the truth regarding “Cannes-gate,” it’s highly unlikely. One of her many talents is being a pathological liar. She does come by it honestly, I’ll give her that. She inherited it from her dear old mom!
@ ay_ay_ay: Interesting theory!
Who cares if there is any “truth” to a movie shoot. Girl is a drug addict and an alcoholic and she needs to be under constant supervision. Leaving the country a few days before a court date shows how serious she really was. She thinks this is all a big joke and that she can get away with anything. Hopefully the judge throws the book at her for failing to do her alcohol classes, regardless of how good she does between now and that court date.
Lindsay reminds me of so many girls who just HAVE to experiment with the funky hair colors, when their natural color is so stunning.
I have a theory that if she went back to red, all the gossip columnists would soften up on her a little bit. It’s like when Britney finally tossed the pink wig of doom.
Why are these cracky celebs so intent on making themselves look ugly? Even on my brokest-of-broke months, I still wrestle the money together to go to Sally’s and fix my roots.
The REAL question is why did she go to Cannes instead of finishing her probation classes if she was on the “up and up”?
I don’t think the ticket proves or disproves anything. Too easy to go either way.
I don’t like the blonde, does not flatter her, looks like just another blonde actress wantta-be. Didn’t like Nicole as a blonde either.
Lindsay looks great, look at Lady Victoria Hervey bringing up the rear lol
Her face still does look very bloated and I also suspect that she uses botox to fill up.
Who knows, she might have planned this all along and we’re all just fools discussing it and giving her the attention she so desparately craves.
If I lost my passport, I would do exactly as LiLo: just tell the gossip journos and never report it stolen either at the Gendarmerie or at the US consulate in Cannes nor at the embassy in Paris.
Riiight!
Since when is making a copy of her ticket available to Radar instead of to her lawyer/the judge proof of anything?
Had I been caught somewhere, I’d have faxed a copy of a) ticket and b) theft report to whomever it may concern back in LA.
These quotes bug me:
“All I got was an itinerary for travel on May 18th, and not a plane ticket,” Meyers said.
“I did get a copy of Ms. Lohan’s plane ticket and boarding pass for May 22nd.”
Why is the DDA making completely different statements? Were they given at different times? If so, why leave the dates/times out? Sorry… Its just bugging the hell out of me
Those are really cute jeans… damnit…
gg, treating your hair doesn’t affect chemical tests for drugs.
She’s been ordered to take random drug tests once a week. She has no idea when they’re coming, so it’s not like she knows when to use and when not to. They’re not testing her hair, at any rate.
If she actually presented herself at the airport and there were witnesses and she was visibly upset that they wouldn’t let her board, would that prove anything? If she has a history of never booking a round trip flight so this would hardly be unusual, would that prove anything?
She’s never going to get the benefit of the doubt, not that she should, because she knew she had to be back or there would be some major consequences. But given that she’s a cracky crack, I wouldn’t put it past her to actually have left buying the ticket until the last moment really believing that she’d make it back on time.
Surely Lindsay or her lawyer could have asked the airline for a copy of her ticket for presentation to the court. Just sounds fishy.
And if any of her claims are true, unfortunately that’s what happens when you continually lie. No one believes you when you ARE truthful. Sucks to be you.
Have to admit, she looks “less dirty” as a blonde.
The main reason I don’t buy Lindsay’s lost passport excuse is that at first she was saying she couldn’t get back because of volcanic ash. When people pointed out that the ash was not effecting her flight and had not effected that route for some weeks she came out straight away with the stolen passport thing. It just seemed as if she had already decided she was not going to be able to make it back on time.
On the off chance that she really did get her passport stolen she really still does not have a valid excuse. She had no pressing reason to be in Cannes and it was her reponsibility to make sure she got her ass to court on time. Flights are often delayed anyway, so it was a really stupid, immature decision to go jetting off around the globe less than a week before a court hearing.
I think she was just guilty about not attending all her classes and thought she could simply buy herself some more time to finish them. She thought the probation violation hearing would simply be pushed back a few days with no further consequence. She’s stupid for thinking her excuses would wash with the judge – surely the judge has heard all these lame druggie excuses a thousand times before. A more believeable excuse would have been to say she was sick.
On the bright side, Lindsay is looking a little fresher here…I think she got a little botox.
Lindsay is 23 years old.
What young 20 something year old isn’t fool of shit here and there. The girl is young and has a lot of money and fame, of course she’s a little more delusional, who wouldn’t be, really?
I love the wide leg of those jeans, but hate the stitching on the cuff
oh yeah Lindsay is a bag bitch
she looks better than ive seen her look in a LONG time in those pics
She REALLY doesn’t suit any hair colour but her natural one, they all wash her out and make her look dirty.
She looks remarkably healthy in these photos, even though she’s making weird faces (most likely caught off-guard and blinded by the paparazzi). She looks like she washed off some of the patchy fake tanner she usually wears and put on the right colour makeup for once. Bravo, lindsay.
“Those aren’t my pants”
anyway.. this is the same girl who looked awfully annoyed at her lawyer when Shawn said that Lindsay did not go to her uncle’s funeral, even tho she was using that funeral as an excuse to stay out of LA for a bit longer.
and did we forget Lindsay’s little Hollywood TV video already, and the analysis of body language that was posted here?
just wondering.
Praise St. Angie!m – Almost Famous I got them at a deptartment store for about 25 bucks with a coupon lol. It’s a juniors brand. The stiching gets closer at the knee making it look skinny.
