I have a question for all of the California residents out there – more specifically, anyone residing in Palm Springs: How late do hair salons stay open out there? Because over here in the South, most everything shuts down at, say, eight or nine o’clock, at the latest. This is important, because Lindsay Lohan’s defense is that she broke curfew at her sober house because she was getting her hair done… until 1 am. And here’s an added wrinkle: not only was she “getting her hair done” until 1 am, she was also drinking Shirley Temples! Our Blohan is such a good little girl!
Lindsay Lohan is finding Dawn Holland’s claim she was drinking hard to swallow — sources close to LiLo say the only thing she was downing the night in question were Shirley Temples.
We’re told Lindsay met up with a friend at the Viceroy Hotel in Palm Springs, CA on December 11 to have her hair done. While there, our sources say Lindsay knocked back the non-alcoholic mixed drink … along with an order of equally non-toxic french fries.
Our sources say Lindsay eventually headed back to her sober house — completely sober — at around 1 AM … and that’s when all hell broke loose.
Holland claims she smelled alcohol on Lindsay’s breath, but LiLo refused to take a breathalyzer.
[From TMZ]
Yeah. I used to drink Shirley Temples… when I was seven years old. They’re very good! When you’re seven. Also, do they serve Shirley Temples at hair salons? Did Lindsay send her Shirley Temple order to the hotel bar, and they brought it over to the hair salon… at 1 am? What am I saying? Of course Lindsay is telling the truth! It’s not like she has a history of crack lies and crack hustles and being a vicious, abusive coked-up terror who hijacks cars and screams at people for no reason. She’s always the victim, you know:
Lindsay Lohan claims the Betty Ford staffer who now claims she’s the victim of battery was so abusive she made Lindsay cry.
Lindsay is squarely disputing the story chemical dependency technician Dawn Holland told TMZ … that Lindsay attacked her and caused her to sprain her arm so severely she’s on workers’ comp. Lindsay says, for starters, she wasn’t even with her two roommates hours before the incident. Lindsay says she was out getting her hair done.
Lindsay is telling her friends and family, when she returned to the house, Holland grabbed her abruptly and pushed her so hard, Lindsay began to cry.
Lindsay says that’s when she went inside the house and called 911.
As for refusing to take a breathalyzer, Lindsay says she actually asked Holland to give her a test but Holland refused.
Lindsay claims there were not only witnesses that saw everything … there are surveillance cameras to prove her story. Michael Lohan also defended Lindsay … by saying she was just acting in self defense.
[From TMZ]
“There are surveillance cameras to prove her story”… yeah, we’ll see about that. It will be very interesting to see if the camera picked up the incident, and whether they will show that Lindsay was just the “victim”. My guess is that “there are surveillance cameras to prove her story” is just another temporary crack lie that will be torpedoed when the tapes show that she in fact was drunk and violent. Just my guess. Also, did you hear the one about Mother Crackhead advising Lindsay to not submit to an alcohol test that night? Yeah. Did you know that someone undergoing court-ordered rehab can just flat-out refuse? I didn’t.
It doesn’t matter any more what any one from Lilo’s side says. She’ll be out of supervised custody in the next 10 days and that’s when we’ll know if she’s a lost cause. If she starts drinking “again” or does any drugs, it’s over for her. She will simply be another waste of humanity that will be thrown on the ever growing pile of wasted humanity.
My interpretation about Dina saying people could refuse an alcohol test is the advice was for Lindsay’s friend who might not be there by court order.
The Betty Ford incident report that the alleged victim leaked to TMZ even mentions that Lindsay was “not with them she was upsatairs getting her done”
Doesn’t refusal to take a breathalyzer = failure? And, yeah, who the hell actually drinks Shirley Temples, other than a child? (And even then, WTF?) Honestly, I can’t wait until this idiot gets out of rehab because then she’s not going to be able to hide behind those rehab doors. Maybe getting back into the real world will finally land her ass in real jail, where she belongs.
Isn’t the rule that if you refuse the breathalyzer, you’ve technically FAILED the breathalyzer? Or is that only if you’re driving? Or, a non-celebrity? Or if White Oprah is making the rules?
Yes Innocent, your interpretations are always interesting and based on absolutely nothing factual.
Here are the facts:
She broke curfew.
She refused the alcohol test.
She has in the past set off her ankle moniter by drinking and lied about it but got caught.
She lies and gets caught over and over again.
I don’t know who you are, but I don’t think anyone is buying what you are selling.
LMAO @ Marjalane “Or if White Oprah is making the rules?” Mother Crackhead is definitely the source for many of these stories.
I’m always a little shocked and saddened when I get a glimpse of the pretty girl she used to be in photos. It doesn’t happen very often, but I can see a bit of her in that bottom pic.
Dina is working overtime to back her ever-innocent daughter. The tabs don’t care who did what as long as they have some new stories, and Dina is always ready with a new excuses and stories. The twists and turns to this drama will go on far too long.
Soon no rehab will take Lindsay. She does her con job and leaves her trail of destruction. It’s unbelievable that Betty Ford put her in a sober house so quickly. Instant rehab? At least Lindsay’s list of rehab stays gives others a clue to which rehab centers are easily conned.
IF you refuse it isn’t failing unless they’ve tested your blood. if driving and you refuse and they test your blood and you are legally dunk say byebye license!
@Kaiser, it depends. My hair girl will met me sometimes around 9:30-11:00pm to do mine in extenuating circumstances-she did it once…i had missed my appointment by spending time with my dad in the hospital and had a wedding the next day.-so theoretically it COULD be possible. Reality? probably not at all.
Crazy.
I don’t know what the rules are for someone under court ordered rehab, but in a regular civilian situation you always have the right to refuse a breathalizer and opt for a sobriety test instead.
You know that all over bad feeling that occurs when you have a fight with your spouse/child, bounce a check, forget something important, and things seem out of control? These idiots live like that every day-they seem to feed off of the drama and instability. What a fuc*ed up way to exist. It must be just constant yelling, crying and “OMG-how do we get out of this?!?!? What can we say?!??!” Life sucks for you, Lohans. Oh,and Linds, hunni-you are done, finished. I hope that all of the drugs/alcohol and screwing people over for the past 10 years have been worth it.
@ Crash2G02
Lindsay breaking curfew is an indisputable fact but everything else is allegations and he said/she said.
@YT
Lindsay doesn’t usually go to a place like Betty Ford which seems like serious lockdown for the inpatient program which lasts 30 days. However when she went it wasn’t court ordered and she only wanted to do 30 days and be done with it.
If Lindsay does go to another rehab in 2011 bet on it being SOBA in Malibu.
Ha ha ha! This just keeps getting better. I love how the story keeps changing and morphing.
Who is the proven addict and liar? Who is the one with the known anger issues?
I have a friend who worked in a sober house for years. She took a lot of abuse from rich druggie jerks who had problems with authority. She’s working with schizophrenics now. She says they’re easier to deal with than the white collar drug addicts.
@Innocent
I’m with you on that bet, but will they take her? Surely there is no prestige in having Lindsay as a patient, and what rehab needs her kind of notoriety?
Her next court date should be interesting. The court date I do not want to hear about is when she is drugged-up/boozed-up and the driver in a fatal car accident.
@YT
Yeah definetly and they are more easy going than Betty Ford. Alexis Neiers who was ordered there for a year on December 10th was tweeting last weekend.
There was even rumours that Lindsay was considering going there before she was found guilty of violating probation in July.
I don’t believe a word of Lindsey’s story. Yes, some salons will stay open late to finish your hair. But if she only had a hair appt…and knew it would run over and make her late….wouldn’t she have let Betty Ford know. Instead of climbing fences with her drunk pals.
She refused the test…yet if she had nothing to worry about and was sober she would have said SURE! I know I would have.
She is a waste of space and will NEVER learn her lesson. At least not until she’s dead.
When she entered BF it wasn’t court ordered, but then the judge ordered that she stay a lot longer than she had intended, correct? Therefore, she is there under court order. I don’t pretend to know what the court system has to say about her not taking a breathalyzer test, but I can guarantee you that it will not be looked on positively.
I had to do court ordered alcohol class when I got a DUI years ago & we had random breathalyzer tests in that too & if you refused it you were IMMEDIATELY kicked out of the program & your case IMMEDIATELY went back to the judge (who was never pleased).
Her being a suspect in a DV incident shouldn’t effect the terms of her court ordered rehab stay whatsoever, but, because it involves LL, she has found a way to complicate the hell out of it. This business about her wanting to take the test & the tech refusing is complete & utter bullshit. There is no way in hell that an employee of any rehab facility/program would refuse to test a client
@Bodhi
Yeah the Judge ordered her to complete the 90 day program and stay for 98 days.
If Lindsay is ordered to court by Judge Fox before February 25th when she is supposed to complete probation then shes going to jail. She will either be completing probation on that date or will be in jail before then.
This will be her last rehab unless she picks up any new drug charges or whatever and goes to rehab to avoid jail again.
Innocent: “Lindsay doesn’t usually go to a place like Betty Ford which seems like serious lockdown for the inpatient program which lasts 30 days. However when she went it wasn’t court ordered and she only wanted to do 30 days and be done with it.
If Lindsay does go to another rehab in 2011 bet on it being SOBA in Malibu.”
You make it sound like she’s deciding on which resort/spa to stay at over Easter Vacay LOL. Pathetic.
What a complete fucking mess. =( I get the odd feeling that the reason she isn’t being held accountable for a lot of her actions (to the extent that she should be, like everyone else)… is because everyone is just tired of dealing with her.
Betty Ford seems frustrated by her, and all her negative press. The court system has scolded her (if you count a slap on the wrist ‘scolding’, but she continues to screw up.
I’m wondering if the court will decide *not* to pursue this just to get her out of their hair.
Hate to say it…but one of two things will happen to Lindsay. Either she will finally end up in jail long-term (when she kills someone while drunk driving) and fade into obscurity, or she will die, and Mother Crackhead will spend the next year shopping interviews about Lindsay and selling all her belongings for profit, and her ghost will haunt us through the media because DON’T YOU KNOW SHE’S JUST A CHILD AND DIDN’T DESERVE ANY OF THIS?!?!?!
SHE NEEDS JAIL
so done with this girl… its not even news anymore. I wish people would stop writing about her. DONE
the boy ones are rob roy’s, I believe.
I just went with shirley, it seemed appropriate.
Uh-huh, and Santa’s going to drop down my chimney on Christmas Eve.
No, no, no! Rob Roys are cokes with cherry juice- Shirley’s are 7-up with cherry juice. I DIED for the rare dinners out where I could order one of either! Hard to picture Crackatoa getting off on either.
It is standard for any rehab to breathalize someone after they return from a LOA. It protects the other patients. Lindsay can do the right thing here by not suing. Even if Betty Ford had a bad apple in their staff, the majority are trying to help.
It seemed to be a peaceful rehab before Lindsay came busting through their doors.
Sadly…what Bliss had said is right. 🙁
And I’m the Pope.
“the boy ones are rob roy’s, I believe.”
A Roy Rogers is the “boy version” of a Shirley Temple.
Rob Roys contain alcohol…and actually I am surprised Linds did not claim to be drinking a Roy Rogers that actually WAS a Rob Roy.
But those are too classy for her. She was probably swilling a wine cooler. Or five.
Poor, poor Lindsay! Pour Lindsay another drink!
@ Obvious
“IF you refuse it isn’t failing unless they’ve tested your blood. if driving and you refuse and they test your blood and you are legally dunk say byebye license!”
No, police ask you to blow and if you refuse, they put you in the back of the police car where you’re taken to the station and your blood is tested. Either say yes, or you will have your blood drawn.
Plus, if Lindsay was just drinking Shirley Temples, WHY would she REFUSE to blow? Persons of interest like this don’t push away the ability to exonerate them.
Lindsay better not be getting out of this.
Resident alcoholic/drug addict de-lurking (hello, all) to set the record straight on the breathalyzer thing. No need to even worry about what the police would do in a DUI situation…the truth of the matter is that rehab facilities have every right to demand you take a breathalyzer and/or urinalysis whenever they want you to and most of the time it’s required if you’re coming in off a pass. If she refuses, she is basically admitting she would fail if she took the test. Refusing a breathalyzer and/or urinalysis absolutely is grounds for dismissal from a facility, as it should be because by showing up drunk or high, she could trigger someone else’s relapse. Getting into a physical altercation with staff or patient is probably also a big no-no and can result in getting kicked out. Long story slightly shorter, they should kick her stupid ass out. Frankly, it pisses me off that she is not in jail because she should be and anyone not a young, white female celebrity and in her position would be.
“WHY would she REFUSE to blow”
hee hee
What Lindsey needs is a big ol’ club size knuckle sandwich.
Off topic, can we have some Jeffrey Donovan this HGF? It sure would make Christmas Eve extra special. =)
That is one scary, conniving looking face she’s wearing in that last photo. Psycho eyes!
The salient facts for me are that she was late and that she was at a bar (facts that no one has disputed).
That tells me she’s still pushing the boundaries to see what she can get away with and therefore hasn’t really changed or grown in any way, nor has a clear understanding of why she’s in the position she’s in at this time in her life.
I mean, she couldn’t be bothered to be on time. That generally implies lack of respect for rules and others and of having one’s head up one’s a**, and certainly a lack of commitment to the process.
And she went to a bar, which is a destructive environment for her.
That also tells me her real problem is not addiction, but attitude and emotional maturity.
She doesn’t think she has a problem, and therefore – in her mind – why should she change her behaviour? For example, by not going to bars? By getting back on time?
There’s no doubt in my mind she’s a handful to deal with, can’t handle authority, and is/will be an absolute nightmare until she dies or hits rock bottom and realizes just how far behind the current pack of good actresses she is. I mean, she’s light-years behind them now and she doesn’t seem to get how to get back on track…
I think until the attention goes COMPLETELY away, she’ll never figure it out. And I don’t think that’ll happen because there are always cameras on her, always sychophants around, and always people letting her get away with stuff. It doesn’t matter that she gets attention for her personal life or celebrity status and not for the hard work of a good acting career. Or, she and her mum will complain, but what does she do of value to demonstrate true commitment? I mean, the first bit of freedom that she’s got and she goes to a bar? Hangs out with partiers? DUH.
And if she’s not a true addict, then jail won’t work…unless she breaks sme kind of law, which has consequences she can’t wriggle out of. So you know what, next year at this time, I’m betting the same exact thing will be going on. After all, what was going on this time last year? Nothing’s changed.
I told ya, it wasnt alcohol.. it was her bad breath
She is gonna be hopping mad on New Year’s Eve. Stand by for more silly season shenanigans.
What will Lilo have to do to actually see jail time?
How does she have a perpetual get out of jail free card?
I live in the same area code as the Viceroy… and I’m a nosy b!tch so I called them. The hours for the entire spa, including the hair salon, are as follows:
Mon: Closed
Tues-Thurs/Sun: 9am-6pm
Fri-Sat: 9am-8pm
So if she went in just before they closed at 8pm, that would be 5 hours to get her hair done and get back to the house. Didn’t someone say there was photographic proof that her roots had already been touched up? In that case, there’s no reason for her to be in the salon for 5 hours. Her hair is already blonde. It isn’t like they are lifting black dye, its just stripping her natural red (which is really fast) or adding dimension to her blonde (also fairly fast).
And let me just add – holy cow their hair prices are budget! How crazy that the best salons in my town charge the same price as some fancy Palm Springs hotel (though the updo styling is about $40 less). Even a full weave is only $150!
Getting her story together so when the witnesses who saw her at the bar start blabbing to the press and to her dismay the court.
and another elaborate crackhead hustle where she will use every little nitpicky law to get her way.
the “justice system” is very misnamed.
The staffer was being slandered, and if she stays silent she loses her job, and if she speaks up she loses her job. Either way the staffer was screwed. This happened days ago, and is only now coming to light because Betty Ford was seriously going to cover it up.
We know lindsay’s gotten physically rough before. There’s that tape where dina said lindsay punched her AND we know lindsay has thrown things at Samantha’s head.
but why should anyone care about the staffer? it’s only lindsay that matters, right? it’s totally ok for lohans to call 911 when they don’t get their way. Dina for free ice cream cakes and lindsay for almost being held accountable.
This lying dog is sinking lower and lower while everyone around her letting her do what she wants. Jail will do this addict some good. These clinics is not helping her at all. She will eventually OD while her enablers stand around scratching their arses.
There’s something really fishy about that judge. Lohan keeps avoiding jail when EVERYONE else who might be doing the same things (i.e. snubbing any and all rules set by the court) would be sitting in a jail cell right now serving a six-month sentence. Somebody, I’m afraid, has that judge in their pocket…..?
@dovesgate (#41) – Oh, research! That’s awesome that you checked on that =) Thanks for sharing the info.
That’s an interesting point, about there maybe being proof she already had her roots touched up before this. Though she could arguably have gone in for something other than root touch up, like trimming or reapplying her god-awful weave. But now I’m curious. xD
And there’s always a possibility that given her ‘celebrity‘ status, she could have someone come in after hours…either just:
-For her convenience
-Because she wanted someone specific who wasn’t available until late
-Or so Lindsay could avoid coming in when other customers would be there. After all, she wouldn’t want to have to interact with peasants. Closing hours may not have applied to her like ‘normal’ people.
Not that I believe her claim, especially. She’s just lied about things so many times that it’s hard not to expect the worst of her. Especially knowing how addicts are with these things.
No I didn’t. Honest… I ran out of gas. I, I had a flat tire. I didn’t have enough money for cab fare. My tux didn’t come back from the cleaners. An old friend came in from out of town. Someone stole my car. There was an earthquake. A terrible flood. Locusts. IT WASN’T MY FAULT, I SWEAR TO GOD.
To Dina Lohan:
YOU ARE AN ENABLER, Stop.
You have to STOP being lindsays friend and be her MOTHER! Tough love is a famous saying for a reason!!!

That is such a great point. Can you imagine being stuck in panic mode all the time? By choice?
Wendy, thanks for de-lurking!
@Stronzilla….. Love it!!
For the love of Pete, Keep her or Throw her back into JAIL.
AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
@dovesgate & Hakura: That was me posting the pic as I was pretty slow yesterday at work. This is taken on the morning/afternoon before she went to the salon:
http://www.tmz.com/2010/12/12/lindsay-lohan-root-beer-drinking-photo-rehab-sober-house-betty-ford-clinic-palm-springs/
Though somewhat hard to see, I’ve had fake blond hair before. Those are freshly touched roots.
Don’t judge me people. Here are more from that day:
http://www.infdaily.com/2010/12/lindsay-lohan-stays-sober-at-betty-ford-clinic-amazing-pics.html
Who the heck but 5 yr old little girls from the 1970’s still drink Shirley Temples?? Really?
Sometimes I wonder if Lindsay really wants to get “well.” Because the moment she’s perceived as being back on track, she’ll have the pressure to perform up to expectations.
Unfortunately, just as she was exiting adolescence, a whole crop of folks became famous simply for being idiots (Paris, Kim K., Brody Jenner). She knows she can stay famous (if not as wealthy) by acting like this. In contrast, there’s really no guarantee of continued stardom and notoriety if she’s forced to be a real actor. There are plenty in her age group and below (including Dakota Fanning, who appears to be transitioning to adulthood more gracefully than LL) who have more potential. Heck, the “Twilight” kids have eclipsed her (heh, heh) in conventional stardom. The list goes on and on.
Those Olsen twins were smart to make bank, diversify, and give up on the idea of being adult actors. Of course, they have better advisers than the likes of Dina, who can’t bear to live without LIndsay’s free Carvel cakes.
Still, I’d argue that she’s not even doing fake stardom/notoriety as competently or well as Kim K. or even Snooki, which is sad. It’s not supposed to cost you money, and your little scrapes should never be serious ones.
Where did she have this Shirley Temple? In the salon or in the bar with her roommates? Were the roommates waiting in the hotel bar for her? How did they all end up coming back at the same time? If there is one thing I heard in AA meetings as a newly sober person it was this: You don’t hang out in a barber shop if you don’t want a haircut. So fitting for this situation.
Lots of us got our feelings out yesterday re: the staffer who gave the TMZ interview. To summarize (I think): 1) The staffer blew it when she disclosed confidential patient information-she got fired and if there is a criminal investigation for assault (Lohan charged), she compromised herself as a witness; 2) Betty Ford’s reputation as a rehab center has been compromised; 3) Lohan is just playing everyone, and is doing absolutely nothing to address her own problem. So much wasted time and energy! All we can hope for is that the judge is no fool; however, the reality is that until little Ms. Diva decides she wants to stop being an addict, nothing that anyone else can do will really matter. (Although I’d have to say, when people like La Lohan do hard time, the addiction takes a back seat to being incarcerated-not that I’m endorsing it!)
AHAHAHAHA! Well done, Stronzilla!!
I have a craving now for a Shirley Temple……
@ Jelli: me too. 🙂
Lets all put our FU fingernails on and point them at Lindsay.
Lindsay can do whatever she wants IF she’s willing to serve her time. She should quit expecting folks to see her as little miss innocent!
@Innocent– please don’t talk about the law; u clearly have no idea what you’re talking about. Judge Fox specifically said that if she refuses to blow it equals a fail. She refused. Therefore she failed. For the record though, here in Canada, we have a charge for refusing to blow. U refuse, or even if if u are passed out (this is while driving, not court ordered rehab!) u r charged criminally. I would imagine the States has something similar… One shouldn’t have the right to refuse a breath test.
