Okay, so this was Lindsay Lohan’s big premiere week. No, silly, not for some craptastic TV movie, or direct-to-cable film, but her trial for lying to the cops about being drunk and crashing into a truck on the PCH last June.
True to form, Lindsay arrived 50 minutes late to court, dressed as a low-class hooker, but she didn’t have to do anything other than sit there and look appropriately pathetic while her lawyers try to save her ass from jail …. Again! And while there had been a thirty day plea deal—basically house arrest and another SCRAM anklet to test for alcohol—Lohan turned that down. She ended up pleaded “No Contest” to two of the three charges, which is like saying “I did it, but I don’t want to say I did it.”
So, Lindsay will head to a 90-day rehab lock-down facility in New York, meaning no Day Passes for shopping and drug buys and bailing her Mom out of financial woes. She was also given 5 days of jail time, though that has been “folded” into her rehab stay, meaning she won’t have to go to jail at all. She must also to perform 30 days of community labor after lockdown and schedule 18 months of therapy; she is required to submit to drug testing and to stay away from drug users—so, she’s moving out of Dina’s house?—and the judge also warned her “not to drive.” That's not part of the sentence though that remains one of her biggest problems.
Lohan also admitted to violating her probation from the jewelry heist, and was sentenced to 180 days in jail, but that sentence was stayed and she won’t do time if she continues to obey all laws. So, a slap on the wrist, and probably not the one holding the vodka bottle and the car keys. How does she manage to get so lucky? Well, here’s a look at Lohan’s arrest record so we can all wonder why she hasn’t done serious jail time:
May 26, 2007: After her first stint at rehab, Lohan’s Mercedes strikes a curb outside an LA club. She is arrested for suspicion of driving under the influence, and police find cocaine at the scene. Two days later, Lohan checks into an intensive medical rehab facility, again.
July 2007: Lohan checks out of Promises rehab on July 14 and celebrates in Vegas. On July 24, Lohan is taken into custody in Santa Monica on suspicion of driving under the influence, driving on a suspended license and possession of cocaine after she gets into a verbal argument with a woman whom she chased in her SUV. She is charged with seven misdemeanor counts in relation to two DUI arrests, spends one day in jail, and goes back to rehab for the third time; she's also given three years of probation.
Aug. 23, 2007: Lohan pleads guilty to misdemeanor cocaine use and DUI, and is again sentenced to one day in jail, 10 days of community service, along with the completion of a drug-treatment program. She is given 3 more years probation and required to complete an 18-month alcohol-education program.

March 13-16, 2009: A judge issues a $50,000 warrant related to Lindsay Lohan’s May 2007 DUI arrest only to rescind it three days later after her attorney shows that Lohan has been complying with the terms of her probation.
Oct. 16, 2009: After arriving an hour late to a probation hearing Lohan is given another year of probation due to failure to complete alcohol-education classes.
May 20, 2010: Lohan’s probation is revoked and a bench warrant is issued for her arrest after she skips a court date to attend the Cannes film festival; she claims she couldn’t get back because “her passport was stolen.” The judge sets her bail at $100,000, which she later pays to win her freedom.
May 24, 2010: Lohan is fitted with an alcohol-monitoring SCRAM anklet and ordered to refrain from drugs and booze and undergo weekly random drug testing as conditions of her bail.
June 8, 2010: A judge rules Lindsay’s in violation of her probation, hikes her bail to $200,000 and issues a new bench warrant for her arrest after Lindsay’s SCRAM anklet lights up at an MTV Movie Awards after-party. The warrant is recalled after a bail bondsman covers Lohan’s bond.
July 6, 2010: Lohan is sentenced to 90 days in jail for failing to attend her court-ordered weekly alcohol education classes.
July 20, 2010: Lindsay surrenders, but serves just two weeks before being released due to prison overcrowding and the non-violent nature of her crime. Lohan is later taken to UCLA Medical Center to begin her court-ordered rehab, nut is once again released early and permitted to continue her treatment on an outpatient basis.
September 2010: After failing a drug test, Lohan’s probation is revoked again and she later spends one day in jail. Days later, she is sent to the Betty Ford Center, where she remained for three months.
Feb. 9, 2011: Lohan is taken back into custody after pleading not guilty to a burglary charge for stealing a $2,500 necklace from a jewelry store. She is sentenced to 120 days in jail, 360 hours of community service at an LA women’s shelter and 120 hours service at the County morgue. Due to overcrowding, she is assigned house arrest and ordered to wear a tracking ankle monitor for 35 days.
Apr. 22, 2011: Lohan is given 120 days in county jail and 480 hours of community service after a judge finds she violated her probation on the 2007 DUI. At the same time, her necklace-jacking charge is knocked down to a misdemeanor.
May 26, 2011: Lohan is released from a California jail due to overcrowding and serves out the rest of her stint under house arrest.
Oct. 19, 2011: Lohan’s probation is revoked again, after failing to complete her court-ordered community service; she gets out after posting $100,000 bail.

Anyone else would have done serious jail time years ago. But, I’ll just say it, she’s white and she’s famous.

I foresee Lindsy Lohan as an 80-yr-old woman being dragged into court, whacking the officers with her purse, being charged with the 50th violation of these same probations.
ReplyDeleteAnd serving ONE DAY in jail.
ReplyDeleteI want, no make that WANT Jon Hamm. That Hamm has massive meat is (I wish) the cream in my coffee. Jon Hamm = good looking beyond words+great body+great personality*BIG DICK.
ReplyDelete@Cookie
ReplyDeleteCould you be more specific please!
;)
If Lindsay Lohan weren't white, she would have been in prison under California's Three Strikes Law. End of story.
ReplyDeleteI love that Matt Lauer has turned into television poison, just like Tom Cruise and Mel Gibson keep moviegoers away from their films. NBC is a joke. Their shows suck and MSNBC is now nothing but left wing opinion masquerading as news.
And what's the problem with Jon Hamm again? I was distracted. ;-)
Lindsay Lohan ... she is the gift that keeps on giving and giving and giving and giving ...
ReplyDeleteSo is it safe to say I got it locked up like Lindsay Lohan? Just another reason why I ADORE AND LOVE Anna Wintour. Fear not, she is really a pussy cat. And then there Jon Hamm. What exactly is the scandal here dear? I don't see a problem. And the sixties is next? Oh goodie!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteoh sweet baby cheeses! I wanna ride joh hamm hard and put him away wet! WOOF! AH-OOO-GAH!
