LINDSAY LOHAN GOES TO JAIL

Tuesday, July 20, 2010
LiLo, LiLo, it's off to jail she goes.

A sad-eyed Lindsay Lohan sat somber before Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Marsha Revel Tuesday morning before she was carted off to the slammer.

"Unless there's anything else, I'm going forward with remanding at this time," Revel said during the five minute hearing.

Lohan stood and put her tan, bare arms behind her back. She was cuffed by two officers, who escorted her out to being processing."We love you Lindsay," her father, Michael Lohan, yelled as his little girl was taken away.

Judge Revel acknowledged she doesn't know how much of the 90-day bid Lohan will actually serve. It's been suggested that Lohan will serve about 1/3rd of the time because of jail overcrowding.

The scene outside the courthouse looked like a movie premiere, with the "Mean Girls" star walking past a throng of shutterbugs and flashbulbs -- but it was no red carpet.

Dressed in dark sunglasses and a black suit, Lohan moved quickly to avoid the crowd. The SUV she rode to the courthouse was tailed by at least one helicopter.

"The only 'bookings' that i'm familiar with are Disney Films, never thought that i'd be "booking" into Jail... eeeks," LiLo posted on Twitter Monday night.

The 24-year-old partygirl spent 84 minutes in the can in 2006 after a string of drug- and alcohol-related run ins with the law, but was released and put on strict probation.

But the troubled young star skipped seven straight alcohol education classes this year, a probation violation that put her back before the judge on July 6.

An irate Revel ripped the actress and sentenced her to three consecutive 30-day sentences at Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood, Calif. - three times what prosecutors were seeking.

Revel dismissed Lohan's pleas for sympathy, saying the young woman has a record of lying about drugs and alcohol.

"It's like somebody who cheats doesn't think they're cheating until they get caught," the judge said.

LINDSAY LOHAN GETS HERSELF A NEW "DREAM" LAWYER

Saturday, July 17, 2010
Los Angeles - Lindsay Lohan finally bagged a new lawyer - just days before her scheduled debut in county jail.

Famed attorney Robert Shapiro, a member of O.J. Simpson's "dream team," confirmed Friday he's repping the "Mean Girls" star - with strings attached.

In a statement to the Associated Press, Shapiro said Lindsay must accept the fact she's going to jail and court-ordered rehab and follow the rules of probation if she wants to keep him on board."I have agreed to represent Ms. Lohan on the condition she comply with the terms of probation, including a requirement of jail, imposed by Judge Marsha Revel," Shapiro said in a statement.

"Ms. Lohan is suffering from a disease that I am all too familiar with," he added.

Shapiro has deep experience with addiction. His son Brent bounced in and out of rehab as a teen and died at 24 after mixing Ecstasy with alcohol.

Lohan, 24, immediately sought new representation after a judge slapped her with the 90-day jail term last week.

The fed-up judge found that Lohan missed court-ordered alcohol education classes and showed a pattern of deception in her 2007 DUI case.

Lohan wanted to file an immediate appeal, a source told the Daily News, and used her Twitter account to offer a critique of "perverted" sentencing guidelines.
