I’m really just writing up these stories because we finally got some decent photos of Lindsay Lohan inside the courtroom and good God, it’s even worse in still photos!!! I was watching the live hearing/plea arrangement thing yesterday, and I was actually startled by how awful LL looked in motion – she looked so washed out, strung out, and exhausted. And these still photos have just captured it completely. What is the world was she doing for the 48 hours preceding this court appearance? Was just doing line after line after shot after shot? She seriously looks like she’s coming down from something HARD.
Did you know there was a lot of confusion about what plea deals LL was offered before her court appearance yesterday? I’ve heard that the prosecutor insists that the deal she got was always the deal on the table, but Radar claims LL rejected a somewhat more lenient deal, with a source claiming, “Judge Dabney offered the possibility of a 30 day house arrest sentence but insisted that as part of the deal Lindsay would have to wear a SCRAM bracelet which detects any consumption of alcohol or drugs… Prosecutors were absolutely stunned Lohan turned down the offer, and chose instead to go to a lock down rehab for 90 days!” I can only imagine that LL thinks it will be easier to smuggle vodka and crack into “rehab” as opposed to having her body monitored for drugs and alcohol all the time.
Speaking of what Lindsay is and is not “on,” TMZ reports yet again that Lohan was totally drinking during her crash on the Pacific Coast Highway last year:
Now we know why prosecutors wanted Lindsay Lohan in lockdown rehab — she was driving with alcohol in the car at the time of the June crash.
TMZ has obtained a copy of the police report, in which the officer says after the crash a plastic water bottle was lying a few feet from the driver’s door. The officer picked up the bottle and noticed the water was amber colored. He smelled the liquid and says “it was an alcoholic beverage, possibly wine.”
The cop says, “It was my opinion that one of the occupants … was possibly in possession of the open container and discarded it shortly after the collision.”
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ … they believe the bottle was Lindsay’s.
On top of that, the cop says when Lindsay arrived at the hospital, there was an odor of alcohol on her breath.
But… but… Mark Heller said that LL’s plea deal was a “validation” of her sobriety!!!! Why would a crackhead lie about being sober while pleading “no contest” to lying to the police about (drunk) driving down a major interstate? The mind is boggled. Quite honestly, I think we should just permanently tag her with an alcohol-monitoring anklet. Forever. At least then we’ll know for sure.
Speaking of Heller’s delusions, as I described in yesterday’s summary post, Heller almost got into a fist-fight with Michael Lohan outside of the courthouse. Heller gave a little press conference where he claimed the “validation” of Lohan’s sobriety (ha) and how she’s definitely not a crackhead (haha), and then Michael came at Heller like an attack dog, shouting threats and recriminations until Heller ran off. Then Michael thoughtfully stayed behind to do his own press conference, of course. He claimed Heller owes him $160,000 (I think?) and that Heller is an awful lawyer who kept his poor crackie client in the dark about the plea negotiations and then, the pièce de résistance, Michael claimed that Heller is now being investigated for witness tampering. My first thought was “Gavin” – LL’s former assistant who “rolled” on her, the same dude who flew to LA with Lindsay on the private plane. Turns out, my instincts were dead-on.
Lindsay Lohan’s attorney Mark Heller is in the crosshairs of a possible witness tampering investigation … after allegations surfaced that he tried to manipulate Lindsay’s former assistant into lying on the stand … TMZ has learned.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ … the Santa Monica City Attorney will be launching an investigation and will interview Lohan’s ex-assistant Gavin Doyle tomorrow in the presence of police.
We’re told … prosecutors believe Heller may have approached Gavin and tried to get him to admit that he was the one driving the vehicle when Lohan’s Porsche crashed into a big rig on Pacific Coast Highway last summer.
TMZ has learned Gavin has told multiple people about the alleged witness tampering … including an officer of the court.
As for Heller, he has strongly stated that any accusation of witness tampering on his part is “crazy.”
Eh. There’s a fine line between witness prep and witness tampering, and I’m sure that line is crossed all the time when you’re talking about a lawyer as incompetent as Mark Heller. Surely they could find something more interesting to charge him with? Like, suborning perjury? That’s WAY sexier.

wow…she looks terrible.
Lindsay needs help. People who are forced into rehab treatment usually aren’t successful, they have to want treatment and change. Anyone who’s ever had a friend or family member with an addiction knows this.
You are right! You cannot force someone to go to rehab. People need to go on their own when they truly feel ready to get the help they deserve. Unfortunately, in Lindsay’s case, she is only going to avoid jail time. So, she be back to her old antics after the 90 days. No doubt.
BTW…. She looks like shit!!!!
Absolutely. I lost my mom last summer to her longstanding oxycontin/fentanyl addiction, and until the day she died, despite numerous overdoses and hospital stays, she NEVER admitted having a problem. I tried to push her into rehab, as did doctors, but we all knew it was in vain, because she couldn’t see that she needed help.
oh Cait.
I read your post after submitting my snarkily written one. I want to apologize if it offended you in any way. I am truly, very sorry you lost your mom to addiction. I think all of us here agree that LL aside, that is no joking matter. I’m really sorry you had to suffer first hand in dealing w/ addiction.
On that note, it is sad overall. LL looks not only hungover from something but she has that ‘crying hangover’ look, you know, after you’ve spent the night crying and wake up to puffy eyes/headache.
It just has to be infuriating to watch someone over and over be the only one who has no ambition or hope to improve her life, specially so young.
I apologize for anyone here who has witness first hand or second, addiction woes. Unfort., they’re all to common.
peace
Not remotely offended. You have to have levity when dealing with anything so painful and frustrating, right?
Damn yesterday I googled to see if she ever went to an Oscar party, or stuff like that. I saw her photos at the 2004 Vanity Fair party…that in court is the postergirl for the advice “drugs are BAD”.
I wish I hadn’t taken a look for myself… so, so, so sad. I’m done feeling sorry for her, but it’s easy to forget how gorgeous and healthy she once looked.
Looking at these pics, this is the first time I have actually felt sorry for her. She can only be in an extremely bad state mentally and physically. I don’t like her, but I hope she gets the help she needs.
Don’t feel sorry for someone who obviously does not want any help whatsoever.
She a heroin addict. Boy she did look like shit morn over. Being in rehab she’ll get methadone which will keep her happy and high. No way will crackie be able to do two more year of probation
Makes her new mugshot from this afternoo look pretty by comparison. hot damn.
wow, she looks like crap. reminds me of the girl from The Ring, Samara? I fear she will come through my computer screen and drown me in vodka..
comment of the day 🙂
HAHAHA That was the best comment ever lol
That comment made my day!
ba hahahahaha
My God, she and her attorney look alike.
Ha, true but at least he can move.
Her attorney looks like a Peter Jackson-imagined orc.
Is it possible that she looks like this because she was crying? It could still be because of drugs. I dunno.
I don’t feel any sympathy for her. I’m just saying.
I don’t have one ounce of sympathy for this chick. She deserves to be exactly where she is. Only problem is, she is never truly forced to face any real consequences, so she’s only going to end up in the same place again. For all the chances she has been given, anyone with half a brain would seriously consider changing their life around, but not Linds. Why should she? She gets away with everything. When it comes to Linds the justice system is a joke.
I save all of my sympathy for her victims.
article on how ll has spent 86% of her 20s either on probation, in rehab or in jail.
that’s 86% of your 20s and you’re almost 27. you had 13% of time actually spent enjyoing your 20s, i think one of the best, most free, most changing periods in your life. who i was at 20 is a far cry from 29. i can’t imagine having spent most of it in lockdown. when i was in my early 20s i travelled so much the world, bopped from city to city, london, to sf, to nyc, to sf, to sydney to sf, to nyc…i literally could put my life in few suitcases i hardly settled down. loved it
Hubby’s first comment when I showed him these pictures: “She came to court without makeup so people will feel sorry for her.” And that’s about as good an explanation of her appearance as I’ve heard or read so far.
i’m so guillable….i think your husband has got a keen eye/mind. “Don’t cry for me……Argentina” trying to get the “poor Lindsay.”
Whoa that is one fugly bloated face.
A true three ring circus has to have at least six side shows.
Just when I think she can’t look any worse. Wow! She looks completely washed out on sedatives or herione?
I agree she looks beat with a stick. But I still think she looked far worse with the insane makeup jobs she’s done in the past for court. Remember the day she thought she was Marilyn and had black bronzer all down her cheeks?
That was her “makeup tips from the morgue” phase.
Bruises more likely, from filler injections.
She is clearly near death’s door at this point. A lockdown rehab will save her life in the interim. I can’t believe Michael is upset with this outcome.
Heroin!
Coming next issue in Science Monthly: An interview with Flavicle Beezlewheedle of the California Office of the CDC. Flavicle is under special assignment to deal with any issues arising when Lindsay Lohan interacts with the general public. Here is an excerpt from the interview:
SCIENCE MONTHLY: “Good afternoon, Ms. Beezlewheedle.”
FLAVICLE BEEZLEWHEEDLE: “Good afternoon to you as well. It’s always a pleasure to speak to someone who will spread word of the work we do protecting innocent lives from Lindsay Lohans bodily functions.”
SM: “I see you brought a HazMat suit with you. Standard equipment in your line of work?”
FB: “Oh, when you’re on the Lohan detail, the suits come with special features. For instance, this suit somes with an extra liquid-proof seal.”
SM: “To protect you from any organic fluids from Lindsay you might encounter?”
FB: “Yes, and also in case she throws a drink at us.”
SM: “I can see that would be an occupational hazard when dealing with her. Now, I remember seeing you at the courthouse during her last hearing?”
FB: “That was me you saw on the TMZ live-feed. Basically, when Lindsay gets up off her chair, my work begins. First, I start by applying bleach to the area as a first defense wiping out many of the germs, lice, worms, and other assorted parasites that may have been left behind where she sat.”
SM: “But that’s just the beginning?”
FB: “Quite. I also applied a sterilizing agent in a five-foot radius around where she sat, set down a liquid penicillin/valtrex mixture eliminating many of the STD’s that might have seeped into the leather, check for any radioactive waste she might have left behind, then finally apply a stringent soap and aloe mixture onto the surface in order to remove any other smells Lindsay might have left behind. This assumes, of course, that the chair is still there and she didn’t steal it.”
SM: “What about when she uses the bathroom?”
FB: “We have a special team for that. You recall at the last hearing how several sheriffs walked with Lindsay to the bathroom? Most of those were CDC agents dressed as members of the sheriffs department in order to not alarm the general populace. They do much the same thing as I but engage in a far more complex bacteriological and viral decontamination of the area, many aspects of which I can’t discuss with you as they are considered matters of national interest by the Department of Homeland Security. In fact, many top secret agents begin their training in bacteriological warfare by dealing with Lindsay’s waste materials.”
SM: “I see. What’s the hardest job you’ve ever had to deal with regarding Lindsay?”
FB: “It’s a logistical nightmare when Lindsay goes swimming in the ocean. Although the last time she did so, there was a red tide that came in and inexplicably stayed a good fifty feet away from her at all times. We thought it was a fluke of the tides, but when she moved, the red-tide free area moved with her. We have several scientists in our office writing a paper on that as we speak.”
SM: “Anything else?”
FB: “I was surprised to learn that Lindsays used tampons are considered WMD’s by the UN.”
For the rest of the interview, including how Lindsays body has given zoologists added insight into the workings of the Komodo Dragon, theories about evolution generated after looking at the residue left behind after Lindsay visited her dentist, and how Lindsay herself set new records for alcohol and sea jasper tolerance, pick up the newest issue of Science Monthly today!
😀 Another entertaining novella, Lady!
Ha ha ha! Fascinating interview!
Once again, Fabulous!!! You are truly talented.
This OP is so cruel, lacking in compassion and utterly devoid of wit or cleverness that it makes me cry. If you really want to learn about fluids, illness and the utter callousness of many people who are paid to take care of the sick, try going to an ER when you are as sick, weak and suffering from a potentially life threatening illness as I was yesterday.
Drug/alcohol addiction is tragic, but to ridicule someone in pain when they are at their worst is absolutely disgusting and inhumane.
If Lindsay Lohan had done one IOTA, and I mean iota, of anything to indicate she really was trying to help herself I think you’d see a huge difference in the comments.
Instead we have a woman who’s due in court on Monday morning, chooses to blow off her Saturday flight so she could party in NYC, then gets off the plane in NYC (it did have a fuel issue), but it was fixed, and everyone else got back on and landed safely. But not our Lindsay. She had to beg for a private jet because flying commercial is just so . . . declasse, you know. And shows up 50 MINUTES LATE.
And I’m an alcoholic and addict (former thank goodness) and I’m sick to death of her shit. You want humanity? Go to Save the Children.
And you know she’s really off the rails when her father ends up looking like the good guy!
She always does it. She takes the red eye flight and then she looks exhausted. Has anybody ever told Lindsey that is okay to stay home and just watch tv w/o using drugs or alcohol? Why does she go out every single nigght to rendevous w/ the wrong people?
But Elceibeno, that is all she does! She is a homebody. Didn’t you see the Lauer interview 😉
it’s a perplexing unanswerable question you are asking but maybe because “she works hard for her money ,so hard for her money” or she herself may answer ” I like the nightlife, I like to boogie…” all the while her imagery friends hanging about the club table laughing, feeling the love and singing “good times these are such good times”
Lindsay is one of those people who cannot tolerate her own company. She can’t just be on her own—she probably fears ever being alone. If she stayed home, she would just be with herself, & she needs constant distraction from that.
When I heard that she rejected the house arrest deal, I wasn’t surprised at all. A person under house arrest would have to be able to endure her own thoughts, not that she has very much awareness anymore.
I’ve known people who never stayed home, who had to go out every night & self-medicate. LL is compelled to keep going out; even a bad night in a club is better than an evening spent alone. It’s pretty sad. It’s unlikely that rehab will ever help her with these core issues.
Her lawyer may be some secret angel walking the Earth. Now hear me out… Really, why are people upset? After everything that she’s gotten away with, isn’t it almost karmic that she end up with the complete opposite of Shawn Holly? She has skated and skated for so long, now she’s getting what she deserves. Period.
Side Note: I had a friend go through a lock-down rehab. It was the only thing that worked for him and now he’s been clean for 32 months. Who knows? I’m not sure it’ll work for her but you never know.
Haha it is totally karma. Shawn is in too much of a better place mentally and spiritually to have anything to do with the likes of Lilo. This funny little hobbit creature on the other hand is a sleazy, greasy grifter who looks like he wouldn’t know what “truth” is if it punched him in the face – just like the Cracken herself. Like attracts like, Lilo’s met her match embodied in this attorney.
Yeah, lock down rehap is a far cry from those country club, come-and-go as you please “rehabs” she is used to. It’s gonna be a harsh reality that she needs. Plus, it means we won’t hear about her for 90 days! Unless of course she breaks out…
Yeah, a lock down facility is no voluntary residential facility. She shouldn’t be able to leave and if she does, she should get arrested. At least that’s how I understand them to work. I work for drug rehab but our program is outpatient and intensive residential. People can walk out any time. There may be legal consequences but not in the same way as leaving (aka escaping) a lock down. In our community, we have a lock down rehab that is part of adult probation.
She’s not coming down off of anything, she’s still flying!
It’s fitting that she ended up with Lionel Hutz for legal counsel.
“Here’s my card. It turns into a sponge when you put it in water!”
LOFL!!! Like putting on four coordinating necklaces compensates for the remainder of her appearance! Ha!
Damn, she looks like hell! they should have hired somebody to do her hair and makeup. or she should at least brush her hair.
I know!! The hair!
When your hair looks that stringy and greasy,pull it back in a low pony! Geez Lindsay!
Well, she did that for the last court appearance that she screeched in to on a red-eye flight. (Seriously, who does that twice in a row?) The low ponytail didn’t help her look much then.
She looks prettier this time. Ashen-faced and exhausted, but wearing her hair long hides the alcohol bloat that was so noticeable when her hair was pulled back.
I don’t think many makeup artists and hair stylists are willing to accept payment in blowjobs….
From women. (I’m sorry. I had to. I didn’t mean it.)
Lol Debbie! 🙂
Doesn’t this guy look like Al Pacino?
He reminds of the type of man who would hang out in the bar at the Holiday Inn.
Where’s Dina?
Dina’s old, she can’t party like a Lilo and keep up with the cross country flights.
Perhaps the “look” is
1) HARD partying in the days preceding her appreance
2) A ploy to gain sympathy, becasue even strung out one can brush thier hair and TRY to appear somewhat pulled together.
I think she’s reached the point of total delusion, not caring but not yet honest enough with herself to hit bottom.
Treatment will fail, she’ll act out, leave and be abusive becasue that’s what she got away with last time. Why should she think it would be different this time
We’ve all seen the physical transformation gollum takes in Lord of the Rings
She looks like 8 shades of hell! I understand that flying can be taxing and dehydrating, but where did she fly from? The Orient or Middle East? Because, DAMN.
HOLY SH*T she looks like death. WOW. I know a crackhead, he’s been going strong for almost 10 years, missing several teeth and still looks better than this! WOW.
Too bad she just cant stay home and smoke a joint, have A glass of wine, and watch a movie.
That is what us normal people do.
Far too plebeian for a Cracken. lol.
She’s got to be cracked out and stealing shit high as a kite to have fun. She looked AND sounded awful yesterday. Even in a city this big, I fear the Cracken.
How on earth do I manage to inhabit the same two cities as her? Where is my body armor???
That sounds AWESOME. I think I’ll do that tonight.
ohhhh man oh man….it’s raining here and that sounds sooooo good! Snuggle in bed w/ my dog, smoke, and gently sip that red wine pass my sweet lips…..ahhhhhhhh
Off subject. I was thinking how next to other celebrities that are around Lohan’s age how very used and worn out she looks. Sad, so much going for her, at one time, yet she has squandered her opportunities because of narcissism, drugs and alcohol.
I know. In fact, compare her to Charlize Theron, who is ten years older than Lindsay.
The thing that’s worrisome is that if her looks are fading like that, it means her whole body’s health is too. Even if rehab doesn’t “take” (and I’ve my doubts, given she doesn’t think she has a problem–or any accountability), she desperately needs three months of dry-out time.
“She seriously looks like she’s coming down from something HARD.”
She is. Her career.
Wow. She straight up looks filthy dirty and unhealthy. I’ve seen oxycontin addicts on “Intervention” look more coherent.
The lilo-lawyer in sync philosophy .. If you don’t know what you are talking about, at least I act like you do. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say or do will be misinterpreted and then used against you in the court of law., but I don’t suffer from insanity… I enjoyed every minute of it! Be civil to any stupid police officer, Tell him.. Like you I once thought I was wrong, but I was mistaken.; say.. Hello. How are you? I swear to Drunk, I’m not God! and laugh merrily.. and swear; You can lie to me,
You can lie to the court,
hell… You can even lie in front of my car!Heh
She didn’t look that rough prior to the glitter bomb on her way in. This look is from coming down on whatever she was/is on combined with two hours of literally pulling her hair, crying, and having a temper tantrum because she had no choice but to take the plea deal.
I think you are correct. Those are puffy crying-eyes, and the hair-pulling temper tantrum is classic Lohan.
Yep-and she had to sit there for hours while they figured it out.
I didn’t understand some of the process: the lawyers went off, and she had to wait, but then they called her and explained it all to her – which I understand would take quite a while in legalese? – and then she agreed to take the plea.
I really wonder what she thought was going to happen?
She looked better when she arrived, mainly because of the sunglasses. She clearly has a hangover or is coming down, in addition to being very upset. She would have agreed to anything just to get out of there – you could hear her saying she needed to get out. Her stomach and head were probably in a bad way, and I also think she looked like she might faint or have a panic attack.
It is sad, no matter what an idiot she is.
Not only is she delusional, but lots of very mean people (and her lawyer from Harry Potter) are willing to feed those delusions. For example, the Wanted recently said how much they like her and that they will be partying with her in their reality show.
I know several alcholics – and I would never encourage them to drink or talk about ‘partying’ with them. So clearly, there are lots of people who don’t believe or don’t care that Lindsay is making her, maybe, 25th court appearance, charged with yet another three crimes, going to rehab for the seventh time, doing community service for the fourth time? etc.etc.
It doesn’t matter if rehab or jail or whatever work for her (not likely, she takes not accountability), because the BIGGEST thing she has lost is reputation and a Hollywood career and that must be KILLING her slowly!! She won’t get hired for anything except D-list stuff and her career window in Hollywood is closing, by the time she finishes this round of probably she will be almost 30(!) which for Hollywood actresses is whent the career often slows down anyway – so imagine that hers has come to a full-stopa at almost 27, so she’s pretty done. I think out of everything that has happened to her, she has yet to realizes that there will likely be no resurrection of her career. Too manyo f her peers have whisked by her. And that is likely what will kill her most.

I know “takes not accountability” was a typo, but I like it. A little Shakespearean phrasing always classes up the conversation.
I missed the press conference. If anyone finds a link to video of it, please post!
Epic episode of Law & Order: Lohan yesterday.
I would like to know who is paying for said lock-down rehab? Taxpayers? Is this like posh rehab (side-eye at you Betty Ford) or the kind of rehab you get sentenced to if you’re a run-of-the-mill hooking on street corners meth addict with no money rehab?
I don’t know…I always felt bad for her in a way. She has no real support, no true friends, even her family doesn’t care about her. She was always a cash cow to her parents and I think she finally got sick of it and rebelled but didn’t know where or how to stop and ended up where she is. I hope she gets the help she needs. Before this whole mess she had potential, was getting jobs, mag covers etc. Hope she gets back there.
“and noticed the water was amber colored. He smelled the liquid and says ‘it was an alcoholic beverage, possibly wine.'”
Ooooo. Wine! I love wine!
yeah, but ‘amber wine’, not red, white or rose?
Methinks this cop doesn’t know his alchohol too well.
Amber = whiskey is more likely
Ooooo! Whiskey! I love whiskey!
I was thinking whisky or rum myself.
Heh!
if amber in color could have been a tawny port, ‘port’ port is dark red/purple ish and ‘tawny port’ is basically the white wine version it has a def amber color because ports in comparison to wines, have an increased alcohol level of around 16-18% alcohol when most wines have a range between 10-13.5%
there you go, thank you, your CB sommelier : )
If she just does the rehab, actually gets and stays clean then does every sit down interview she can and be honest about her past then she could work again. If she would just say, “I was high there” and “Yeah I was a junkie mess” and be honest and stay away from her parents she could be a movie star again. It’s so sad.
That would be impossible for her. I can’t believe we would ever see her do that.
She would have to move into the office/home of the greatest therapist on earth, & stay there. Any doctor who takes her on as a patient will have to attempt to reverse a lifetime’s worth of psychological damage.
Do we expect anything less from someone associated with our Lindsay?
Oh and quit with the fillers and the botox. What is with this girls… that shit is for when you are late 40’s. NOT TWENTY! omg.
I wish they’d take pictures of her hands, I’d like to see if they’re all burnt up from a crack or meth pipe, or if she’s still just snorting the stuff. She looks like she’s been doing uppers and getting no sleep.
There are blinds from years ago (Ted’s now defunct column) that clearly say she was at one point doing meth and smoking stuff (in front of people at parties no less, she didn’t even try to hide it or go in a bathroom). She may not be that hardcore now, but it wouldn’t surprise me if she were.
I think she partially looks so bad because she was up all night flying. I doubt she slept. Although, being up all night is not out of the norm for her, so…
I just read on TMZ that she was trying to go to a club last night in HWood. Except there were so many paps following her that she gave up and never got out of the car or went in. I thought a condition of her probation was to not go to an establishment that only exists to sell alcohol (bars and clubs). She is obviously taking this all soooo seriously. She is going to be back in court sometime this year, I guarantee it.
Yeah. It seems pretty clear that what she really needs is to be locked into a mental health facility for an extended period of time.
I’m sure she is an addict but there is something much more fundamental going on here. Narcissism and extreme entitlement? Oppositional Defiance Disorder? All of the above?
In my experience, after the day she had, even the most die hard alcoholic would at least attempt to stay in for one night to prove to the world (and themselves) that they didn’t have a problem. They might end up completely blitzed in private but the public facade would be of central importance.
Not with this chick.
I don’t understand – why is she allowed to do rehab in NY? And her “labor” (what the heck is that? picking up trash on the side of the road?)in NY? If she’s allowed to do all that in NY – then she should also serve her 180 days when she breaks her probation in NY as well. I hear Rikers Island doesn’t have quite the overcrowding problem California does and she will serve her full sentence when she breaks her probation – which is a certainty. In fact, I hope they are testing her today. Substance abuse aside – I think her main problem is she is just an a$$hole. Pure and simple. A lying, thieving, cracked out, narcissistic, materialistic a$$hole. She should have been sentenced to the max in jail – and serve it in NY. 2.5 years at Rikers would have changed her for the better.
+1000
She lives in the New York City area so it would make sense for her to do rehab and community service there, plus, it would be harder for her to get a car and drive.
She lives in NY therefore, she’s allowed to do her rehab and community labour in NY. If she was to violate the conditions of her plea deal, she would have sentenced to jail in California because the crimes were committed in California.
Heller is right. I ALWAYS validate my sobriety with lengthy court-ordered rehab stints. Doesn’t everyone?
She looks like hell.
And as for Gavin, he was supposed to be a witness for the prosecution. You don’t do witness prep with the other side’s witness. If her lawyer made any attempt to contact Gavin to discuss his testimony it could be seen as tampering. Her lawyer is so incompetent it almost seems like a ploy to be able to appeal anything that happens.
Yes! This is what I was logging in to post.
It was widely reported (last week or the week before) that Lindsay, her lawyer, and Gavin met up somewhere for lunch or dinner, which was an immediate red flag to me. It can’t be witness prep when Gavin’s a witness for the prosecution.
I don’t practice criminal law, so someone can (and should) correct me if I’m wrong, but even the appearance of tampering (by meeting with Gavin) is something to be avoided. It almost doesn’t matter what was actually said.
The only good thing I can say for Heller is that his presence may help her realize she’s at rock bottom. No one with options has that guy for a lawyer, and her disdain for him is evident. He’s a walking, nattering reminder of how far she’s fallen.
On a separate note, if her private plane ride from Mr. Pink actually was worth $50,000, what a stupid move for a person in tax trouble. Now she has another $50k in 2013 taxable income, without the cash in hand to pay the taxes. This in a year when she’s going to be out of work for at least 90 days, (unless she’s permitted to tweet about Mr. Pink while on lockdown rehab).
Will this twit be allowed to have visitors in rehab? I can so see her hangers on and that fab mother of hers smuggling in drugs.
Rough.
Dr Who needs to intervene with the tardis and show a 15 year old Lindsay these photos along with a list of all her times in prison/rehab. This is worse than the ghost of Christmas past!
Dr. Who? Meet Dr. Whore!
I think this is probably the worst I’ve seen her look. Really. She’s looked like crap with the hair and the make up and the fillers but here she just looks awful.
She’s spiraling the drain, there is no doubt.
Unfortunately, I don’t think Lindsay is at the point where she will admit to being addicted to anything so, therefore, rehab, locked or otherwise, will not help her.
I know it’s not popular to feel anything but contempt for this young woman and really she is contemptible, but I feel sorry for her too. She will die of a heart attack or in some violent way before she’s 30 years old.
I mean, look at those eyes, it’s like staring at death.
I totally agree. For a while it was funny to comment on her stupidity. Now it’s just sad because I too feel as though she’s knocking on death’s door. Sad and a tragic waste. I pray that this lockdown rehab saves her.
Holy Hell Roachella-Fest….what kind of nasty did ya get into on that private jet? Partied till ya puked in the 2ftx2ft lavatory? didn’t ya wait for the white light to light up signalling the loo was free?
Caught in a lil turbulence? speaking emotionally, physically and drug wise of course.
Sweet Jesus girl, get yourself to a Super Cuts ASAP for a shave and a haircut TWO Bits!! and steal some concealer from Walgreens to ligthen up those undereye circles….
I think the reason she always takes red eye flights to court dates and doesn’t plead till the last moment is that in her mind, if she just ignores it, it will go away.
I read an article about Gavin Doyle and he seems like a fame-tool. Lohan blames him for the car accident (in which he was bloodied by her drunk driving) so he can get it on his record, and he has to pay for the restitution to the truck driver, and then he goes back to being her friend. Lohan gets crack-jacked and punches a strange woman in the face, and he bails her out only to have her literally kick him to the curb to face the paps as he walks home like a tool, and he is still her friend. He goes out to lunch with her lawyer (he should have known better!) and Heller tells him to lie with Lohan’s approval and he’s still her friend. He flies with her across the country in a private jet with her, knowing full well he’s a witness for the prosecution – This is all total BS! He’s a fame-whore wannabe (who at least told the truth) and is a complete fool and tool. I can’t stand the guy. I’m sorry – I know he told the truth – but I still can’t stand fame-whores.
thanks for that info. i have always wondered about him, WHY would he want to be her asst? especially after she’s been a s***t to him over and over? she owes him $40K in salary (never gonna see it), makes him take some of the blame for her f ups….
wow…how can you be a personal asst to a ‘celebrity’ when you’re the ‘EA’ to Rochella? how do you take those skills rom the job and say apply them to a future position w/ a ….human being?
If Heller AND LINDSAY met Gavin for a friendly chat, they’re BOTH witness tampering. Thanks Dad, for pointing that out to the world.
Lindsay looks like she is nearing her end of days- I have never seen her look so beat up. At least when Shawn Holley was her lawyer she managed to put on some makeup and for the most part brush her hair. I actually looked it up for some of the people who were commenting- cocaine abuse can cause your hair to stop growing and/or fall out, and it looks like that’s what’s going on here.
Sidenote: How the f-k does this girl have money for a weave? (A busted one at that)
Whoa…….this girl is stoned out of her mind and looks terrible!!! I dont like her but she is on the road to destruction!! Definetly needs major help!!
I don’t undestand why she needs an assistant in the first place! To make herself feel important?? She barely ever works!!
Hard to believe any of Michael’s claims, he seems to be in an especially counterproductive rage at the moment. He’s wanted her to have a long rehab and no jail for years, and that’s what Heller got her. Not actually as long as Michael has been wanting, he’s said before that she needs at least 6 months in a “faith-based” residential rehab (does his Church of Satan have one of those?). Although I think my cat could have done as well as her lawyer, the prosecution didn’t really bargain but just offered.
I wonder if the reason the judge didn’t rip into her for being late was that ordinarily she wouldn’t have to appear because it was misdemeanors and her lawyer could represent her. The judge ordered her appearance really just so she could confirm that she wanted Heller to represent her in the TRIAL despite his lack of familiarity with California procedures. If Heller had a California lawyer with him and started talking plea deal rather than trial – her presence was no longer absolutely necessary unless the judge needed her to look him in the eye and say “no contest” or “guilty” and to make sure that the brain fogged Lindsay actually understood the sentence. But I think the lawyer can plead for the client on misdemeanors. So while her mad dash at the last minute was stupid, if she was planning to take a plea bargain then she may not have been as much at risk of contempt of court as we all hop…, er, thought.
The Cracken attempted to go to a club last night, AV in Hollywood. She didn’t go into because there were too many paparazzi.
Her father has now responded with, “Are you kidding me?” He is still blaming the people around her for taking her to the night club. He really doesn’t believe that LL has any responsibility for her own decisions.
No-one else is surprised she did that. Heck we’d be shocked if she took a hot bath, ate dinner and went to bed early.
Milo ALWAYS blames everyone but Blohan. He KNOWS she’s the ringleader but if he says it, he won’t work his way into her good graces again by calling her out.

I was in rehab with lindsay 5 or 6 years ago. She is highly intelligent but sadly very addicted and very confused. At the time she was probably 22 and battling an alcohol, pill, coke and sex addiction from my point of view. Again, a very smart and nice girl but spent her 90 days last time having sex with other addicts, sneaking out of the facility and arranging prearranged photo ops with the paparazzi who were stationed outside. I hope and pray she has hit rock bottom and surrenders in order to clean up and live a happy and rewarding life that sobriety, service and spirituality can bring. Despite me somewhat selling her out just now, I support Lindsay. She is sick and needs unwavering support and encouragement. She does not need to be ridiculed or worse, surrounded by enablers. Of course, all that will only help when she’s ready but wishing her ill is wrong, sad and makes all of you heartless, pathetic and unkind.
Sincere question:
You said that you hope she has hit rock bottom and surrenders in order to clean up her life. You also say she needs unwavering support. How does one hit rock bottom if they have unwavering support?
I am not asking in a mean way, I sincerely want to know how friends and family of any addict can be supportive while at the same time allowing them to hit rock bottom and realize the dire situation they are in?
One of my friends has been dealing with this, not wanting to be cold-hearted, but at the same time knowing that all the times they clean up after the addict that it only prolongs the “ah ha!” moment that is needed for sobriety.
Support as in…supportive while they are in rehab or while working the steps. Even if they dont want to be there… hoping they see the light. you let them try 25 times because they might get it the 26th time. Not by supporting them financially or in their addiction, etc. that is enabaling. I agree you have to let them hit bottom but you dont have to help them dig their grave by cheering for their failure and impending death.
I don’t think so, Sarah. In my opinion, the only thing that CAN save Lindsay is for something really bad to happen. As long as she insists that there is nothing wrong and that she doesn’t need help/doesn’t have a problem, things are only going to get worse. She needs to be convinced that there is a serious problem and that she needs to change and the only way that will happen is if something bad enough happens to her to humble her and make her face her problems.
Furthermore, she deserves to have something bad happen because she’s done a lot of bad things to other people. She’s broken a ton of laws and frankly, I don’t think wanting to see a habitual criminal be punished for their crimes like everyone else makes a person heartless.
well said everyone, on BOTH sides of this conversation (I’m not taking sides) but I took a lot in…
The problem is Lindsay doesn’t care at all. Even if something really bad does happen she still won’t give a damn. She is so disconnected, nothing seems to penetrate her drug addled world.
Smart girl? She might be smart compared to other addicts, but IQ-wise, no, sorry, uh-uh. She is a barely functioning illiterate. Her intellect is flat-lined. As to being an addict, I think that’s secondary to the real problem. She’s an asshole. She has stolen prized possessions from old women, coats from strangers, jewelry from friends, blamed “the black guy” twice, carjacked and kidnapped three young men while speeding 100mph on PCH and blowing through stop lights and signs in Santa Monica, all the while squawking “Nothing will happen to me, I’m a celebrity”, sucker punched 3 different people in the face, ran over a baby carriage and said “I saw them, but they didn’t move out of MY way.” etc. etc. etc. Lohan only thinks of herself and is relying on people like you to give her sympathy. It’s part of a psychopathic narcissist’s MO. “Poor me, pay attention! Let me off with no consequences.”. Plus – Lohan does have a substance abuse problem – but a physical addict? I’m not sure about that. She has never OD’ed, or had seizures like Lil’ Wayne, or even had her stomach pumped. She never, not once in all her 5 previous rehab stints exhibit ANY symptoms of withdrawal, no DTs, no shakes, no seizures – nada. She uses, but like it or not, she’s in control of her using. Even UCLA said she was NOT technically addicted to drugs or alchohol. She has a problem – yes, but she’s not an addict. She is an asshole criminial. (I’m sure some of you might disagree with this comment, but it’s my own humble opinon.)
She looks half dead I’m sorry to say. Someone needs to do something to help her once and for all or they wont have to worry about jail or rehab, they’ll be planning her funeral.
Lindsay, Oh Lindsay we love you so much
From the the top of your head to your fire crotch!
Down to the legs you so easily spread!
We’ll let you off until you’re good and dead
Lindsay, Oh Lindsay, try to take care!
There’s only so much we can pretend is quite fair!
Yes you’ve been charged with a good stock of crime!
But if you kill someone you might do some time.
Lindsay, Oh Lindsay thefts we can forgive
It’s because so far you’ve not ceased to live
You’ve managed so far not to end someone’s life
So apparently that’s enough to escape true strife
Lindsay, Oh Lindsay Lady justice is blind
But that’s not why we’ve been stupid and kind
Lady Justice can still hear though she can’t see
That’s how she knows you’re a celebrity
So Lindsay, Oh Lindsay never you care
As long as you live you’ll have no scares
You’ll never be treated like you’re not rich
The Cali Legal system is always your bitch
awesome.
Awesome, especially the last stanza!
wow, you should send that to the editors of all the national papers, specially la times/NY times and NY magazine, just send it!
it’s funny to read but…it’s just really telling to, sort of explains it all.
CB is such a unique and awesome site, first the writing is the best anywhere, really smart, entertaining and i think digging for understanding (trying to undrstand the minds of hollywood)
also, the commenters (us!) are like no other. I think everyone on here is so smart and value their thoughts even though i might disagree.
but it’s like we are seeing lilo turn herself into a piece of our folklore..we’re making up songs, poems, parodies, nicknames….it’s kind of an interesting take on our culture don’t you think?
Lilo might have her fame, her big Hwood fame after all, say, 300+ yrs from now when she becomes a myth/folklore figure,
little kids will skip around the playground and sing/dance to the ‘lilo /ca justice’ song and my fave (mine!) ‘Hush lil Bieber’
Legends of the Cracken are as old as time. Her birth was prophesied upon a mountain of Opiates by the God Dionysus.
She looks beautiful to me.
Well…if you are into that wasted, pale faced, sick to one’s stomach look then I guess she is a poster child for a beautiful person to you. To the rest of us who are normal–she looks terrible.
If you find dirty mops beautiful, more power to you.
What a waste.
If the lockdown rehab really is lockdown and free of alcohol and drugs- even though she’s being dragged kicking and screaming, maybe she has a chance to see things differently if she’s drug and booze free long enough. Another plus is that she will be much better nourished at rehab, that could help clarify things. But if she just goes back to her current rut after rehab, she’s doomed. She really needs at least a year away from it all, doing some useful work without cameras. I don’t know if she’s physically addicted to everything she ingests, but she certainly is emotionally addicted. She has to get a glimpse of a happy life without her booze and drug comfort foods. I don’t think she’s been happy, she’s running away from herself and her memories.
Totally agree. The judge should have ordered her to 6 months lockdown and 6 months sober living. Then…maybe she’d have a fighting chance.
The judge flat out told her to stay away from people and places with drugs and alcohol, in the first place she goes after court is a club!
She looks REALLY bad. I hope the lockdown rehab helps her, but I doubt it will. I think she is too far gone.
I hope it’s a real rehab not just a little country club stay. If they can really clean her up and make sure NO ONE is smuggling anything into her and if she takes it serious she may have a chance. But I don’t think any of those things will happen. I think we will see/hear stories of her sneaking out, drinking maybe having another slapfest with someone. Once the press find out where she is and that won’t be hard they will watch the place like hawks. What happens to Lindsay is she is caught out and about? 90 days without any pap shot’s will probably drive her crazy. When does this rehab start? Knowing Lindsay I’m guessin she is going to party hard right up until she goes in. Yep that is taking it real serious. The problem with addicts and my brother was one (I saw was because he ended up dying because of his addiction) is that they have to see they have a problem. Lindsay is nowhere near that she likes her life and it’s working for her. Her bills get paid, she get’s no real consequences of any of her actions so why change? Lindsay needs something really bad to happen to wake herself up and sadly that would probably mean either her or someone else paying the price. Let’s hope NY keep an eye on her and she does what she is supposed too! There is no way she won’t be in court again this year. As for her father he needs to wake up and see it’s Lindsay doing this to Lindsay no one else and she got the lawyer she has cause she can’t pay anyone else. I bet Shawn Holley is laughing her butt off.
After “Liz and Dick” bombed she went downhill fast!
it wasn’t solely her fault the movie sucked!
The producers/directors shouldn’t have hired her in the first place! Who wrote the script? Who told her what to do or say when filming “Liz and Dick”? They are also responsible for screwing the movie up!
Meh, I don’t know! The world wants Lindsay to fail! Maybe she deserves to fail! She annoys me but I hope rehab helps her!
If this was an “ordinary” schlub, they would have been locked away ages ago. This is a travesty of “justice” and makes California a joke. Sad.
Yesssss, I totally agree with you. Read my other response below. Pacific Coast Hwy can be very dangerous, I’ve driven it many times, and I would hate to be the one coming in her direction if she suddenly drifted to the oncoming traffic. Lohan doesn’t care. She continuously breaks the law with no conscience, and I agree, it is a travesty of justice that she is still allowed to run around…..
Just a point of contention, the PCH is not a major interstate. For the most part it’s a two-lane highway carved into the side of a cliff, which makes wrecks more likely, but drinking and driving on it more terrifying. It’s four lanes in Malibu, but you can still pull off to the side and go down to the water pretty frequently.
She did look healthy at one time in her life because I remember seeing those photos when she was younger, up and coming, but after all these years of drugs and booze, she’s kind of aged more than normal. I’m kind of tired of her being able to get away with things just because of what money can buy her. She needs to adhere to the same rules that the rest of us must follow. Most people would be jailed for what she has already done, so whether it be rehab, jail, therapy, she needs to stay there for a good LONG time until she can be rehabilitated. Just going back to her life of partying and traveling is not rehabilitative. I really don’t feel sorry for her, and I certainly don’t want her driving on our highways and possibly killing someone.
Wow, I dont think she looks that bad actually. I’ve looked similarly terrible to this after 30+ hour plane journeys with very little sleep, no shower, your make up eventually evaporates (or something), you cant wash your face properly, your hair gets greasy, you are exhausted – you basically feel like death. I’m sure she was partying hard the night before and had a killer hangover. But IMO in these pics she just looks like someone very tired, dozy, irritable, who just finished a long ass plane journey.
