People Magazine: As far as reports go, Lindsay Lohan is eating the same meals as regular inmates at the Century Regional Detention Facility. But that doesn’t mean she’s being entirely treated like the others.
“She’s not treated like if it was anyone else going to jail,” Maria Medina, a relative of an inmate at Lohan’s jail tells PEOPLE. “Like, if they even want to bring her new clothes or bring her anything, they put the whole facility on lockdown. It happens all the time.”
Medina, 40, says residents at the jail, based in Lynwood, Calif., find it unfair that someone they’re not even allowed to see is exerting so much control over their stay.
“All the inmates are sick of Lindsay,” Medina says. “It’s almost like Lindsay Lohan’s here, but she’s not. Like if she even moves, they put the whole facility on lockdown. It happens all the time. For example, just yesterday [Friday], Lindsay had to go to the mini-clinic, and the whole place was on lockdown again.”
Los Angeles Sheriff’s spokesman Steve Whitmore denied Medina’s claim. “It’s business as usual. Lindsay’s getting no special treatment,” he told PEOPLE on Saturday. He also said there is no such thing as “lockdowns.”
As far as Lohan is concerned, she’s now apparently in a much better state of mind than earlier this week.
“[Lindsay's] doing well, she’s doing fine,” Lohan’s lawyer Shawn Chapman Holley tells PEOPLE. “Her outlook is definitely more positive.”
Despite speculation that Lohan was given exemptions when it came to visitation limits, Holley told reporters her client is playing by the rules, saying,”[Her family's] not allowed any more visits this week.”
Whitmore earlier this week told PEOPLE that Lohan received her visits during the week to avoid disrupting other families visiting on the weekend with ensuing TV crews and photographers.
HollywoodLife: Lindsay Lohan would rather kill herself than be locked away in jail. The 24-year-old actress is reportedly so upset over the 90 day jail sentence looming over her since July 6, that she’s threatening to take her own life.
“She just kept repeating, ‘I can’t go to jail,’ and, ‘I’ll kill myself first,’” a source tells Star magazine. “She’s mentally unstable and getting worse.”
After Lindsay’s discovered she’d be serving time at the Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood, Calif., Star reports she went home and broke everything in sight.“She ran around breaking mirrors, cutting herself and rambling like a lunatic. She tore her house apart before she finally just broke down,” reveals a source. “Lindsay’s on a 24/7 suicide watch, it’s so bad. She isn’t doing well with this.”
Not only is Lindsay going around saying she wants to kill herself but she’s taking a lethal dose of prescription drugs.
“She has been doctor shopping across the country,” she says. “She is utterly unable to control her use of any mind-altering substance.”
HollywoodNews.com: Lindsay Lohan is going to lose it in jail. Why? She won’t have her cigarettes.
TMZ reports that the jail where she’s going has “a serious zero tolerance no-smoking policy.”
The prison is the same all-femme facility where Paris Hilton dwelled.
A friend claims that the “Freaky Friday” actress is a “serious chain-smoker” who goes through two packs a day.
The source adds, “The first thing she does when she wakes up is light a cigarette.
“I’m honestly scared for [Lindsay] … I don’t think she’s gone a day without smoking in years. This isn’t something she can stop overnight. It’s a serious condition.”
TMZ further wrote this morning that Lohan still doesn’t have a lawyer in the wake of Shawn Chapman Holley’s resignation, despite earlier reports that the actress hired a new one.
New York Daily News: Lindsay Lohan is going to jail. An irate judge sentenced the sobbing “Mean Girls” star to 90 days behind bars Tuesday for violating her probation and branded her a serial liar.
Lohan received no sympathy from L.A. Superior Court Judge Marsha Revel, who found she violated probation on a pair of 2007 DUI busts.
An overwrought LiLo made a weepy last-ditch plea for freedom, bizarrely invoking her charity work with Moroccan children at one point.
“I’m not taking this as a joke,” the party-hearty actress said during a rambling speech in which she broke down twice.
“It’s my life. It’s my career. I’ve learned.”
An unmoved Revel sentenced the bewildered Lohan to three consecutive 30-day sentences – three times what prosecutors were seeking – to be followed by rehab.
“She comes and goes as she pleases,” said Revel. “There’s been a history of that. No excuses.”
Revel dismissed Lohan’s appeal for leniency as insincere, citing the “Freaky Friday” actress’ record of lying repeatedly about drinking and drugging.
“It’s like somebody who cheats doesn’t think they’re cheating until they get caught,” the judge said.
Prosecutor Danette Meyers charged Lohan had repeatedly thumbed her nose at the law.
The blond actress, ordered to attend weekly alcohol education meetings, skipped seven of the sessions in the past 27 weeks.
“Once, maybe, you’d have an excuse,” said Meyers. “Twice, an oversight. Three times, still haven’t caught her attention. . . . Seven times, the court is irrelevant to her.”
Lohan’s “excuses” for skipping her sessions ran the gamut from flight problems at a North Carolina airport to the death of her uncle – although she did not attend his funeral.
After Revel handed down the sentence – including 90 days in a drug and alcohol rehab facility – Lohan wept loudly on the shoulder of lawyer Shawn Chapman Holley, while her father, Michael, and kid sister Ali cried in the courtroom.
Her father later said he was glad his daughter was sentenced to rehab, something she needed for a long time.
“These [prescription] drugs are killing my daughter and killing millions of kids in America and someone has to stop it,” he told RadarOnline in an emotional interview.
He said Lindsay “unfortunately is in a lost place in a lost world.”
The actress is headed for Los Angeles County’s Century Regional Detention Facility, an all-female jail that was a temporary home to inmates Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie.
She was ordered to surrender on the morning of July 20.
Once her jail time is done, she’ll start rehab, Revel said. And until she’s in jail, Lohan must keep wearing an alcohol-monitoring ankle bracelet.
The judge ordered Lohan to put on the bracelet in May, after she missed a progress hearing because she was partying at the Cannes Film Festival.
The bracelet registered a 0.03 blood-alcohol level on the night she attended the MTV Movie Awards and after-parties last month.
Lohan’s lawyer said her client’s missteps were not a sign of disrespect for the courts but the result of ignorance of the law.
“She is not someone who understands the nuances of the court system,” Holley said.
Revel, clearly annoyed, pointed out that Lohan had spent three years completing the education classes – which should take just 18 months.
“Something’s not right,” she said. “I couldn’t have made my orders more clear.”
The case stems from the three-year-old 2007 DUI arrests, including one in which Lohan drunkenly crashed her car into a Beverly Hills tree.
She wound up spending 84 minutes in jail, and was placed on probation. Lohan could again serve less than a full sentence because of prison overcrowding, said Steve Whitmore, spokesman for the L.A. County sheriff.
TMZ.com: Lindsay Lohan could go to jail Tuesday for violating her probation … but even though she’s positive Judge Marsha Revel hates her, she’s convinced she’s done nothing wrong and will not end up behind bars.
Multiple sources close to Lindsay tell TMZ … as far as Lindsay’s concerned, any missteps she may have made in the past are completely cured. She’s now up to date on all her alcohol ed classes, so, she thinks, what’s the big deal?
What Lindsay does not understand is that Judge Revel could indeed throw her in the pokey for missing three alcohol ed classes as of her last court appearance. And the whole thing of not showing up in court because the dog/thief ate her passport could be a deal breaker as well.
The people close to her tell us … Lindsay has become so accustomed to good lawyers bailing her out of seemingly impossible situations, she simply expects the same thing to happen again.
As one source put it, “Shawn [her lawyer, Shawn Chapman Holley] will just fix this like everything else.” The source adds, “It’s no big deal to her, even though she totally believes Judge Revel hates her guts.”
But even if Lindsay gets thrown in the pokey, people close to her think she’d be fine. As one source put it, “She is one tough bitch. She can hold her own.”
E! Online: Lindsay Lohan can drink all the True Blood she wants, but it doesn’t sound like the hit HBO series is very interested in having her on the show.
“Not in the forseeable future,” Ryan Kwanten told E! last night at Sony Playstation’s Move Lounge when asked whether Linds could be a guest star.
Ouch! Just last night, LL was counting down to the season three premiere on her Twitter and even celebrating with a True Blood themed ice cream cake.
But then he sort of backpedaled when we inquired if she could play a blood-sucking vamp…
“Yeah, she could be a whole bunch of different things,” he hedged. “I’m not one to specify.”
At least we all know LL has no problem with getting naked, which is a major requirement for the cast. Ryan has no qualms about dropping trou, either.
“To be honest, no, I never get nervous about it,” he told E!. “The fact that it never comes from a point of pure gratuity makes me feel better. It’s always from a story point; it’s never nudity for nudity’s sake.”
Whatever you say, Ryan! As long as you and your hot cast keep stripping down on screen, we have no complaints.
TMZ has learned the prosecutor in the Lindsay Lohan probation case is gunning for Lindsay in a big way … and even plans to investigate the alcohol education program Lindsay has been attending.
TMZ broke the story … Lindsay did not attend all of the courses within the proper time limits — once every 7 days. But we also reported that the program followed state guidelines — which requires attendance at least once every 21 days. The school also excused Lindsay’s tardiness … something officials said is common among students in their 20s.
But here’s what is really interesting. Meyers says after she finishes prosecuting a death penalty trial next week, she will “be focusing all of my efforts on Ms. Lohan’s upcoming hearing.” Mind you … Lindsay’s probation case is a misdemeanor.
Meyers is even sending D.A. investigators out into the field to sniff out potential probation violations of one Lindsay Lohan.
Lindsay skipped a hearing on May 13 in Los Angeles, she alleged her passport was stolen, so she couldn’t get back from The Cannes Fesitval in Cannes, France where she’s been at for the whole week, after skipping the hearing, L.A. judge on her case issued an arrest order for her if she didn’t show to court until Thursday (May 20) morning, and Lindsay didn’t show, Today (Friday, May 21), the warrant was revoked and now the actress has until Monday to arrive to Los Angeles and show up at court.
Meanwhile, Lindsay was seen partying all the night on May 20 (and morning of the 21st) in Cannes. E! Online reports she has a booked flight from Nice to New York this Friday (May 21).
The New York Times: A judge issued a warrant for Lindsay Lohan’s arrest and set bail at $100,000 on Thursday after the actress failed to show up for a mandatory court hearing in Los Angeles, The Associated Press reported. Ms. Lohan had gone to Cannes for the film festival there and, according to her lawyer, Shawn Chapman Holley, her passport was stolen, preventing her from returning to the United States in time for her hearing. Judge Marsha Revel of Los Angeles County Superior Court also revoked Ms. Lohan’s probation, which she had been on after two arrests in 2007 on charges of drunken driving. Mr. Holley said Ms. Lohan would be back in the United States by Friday evening. If she makes bail, the judge has stipulated that she will be prohibited from drinking alcohol and required to wear an alcohol monitoring bracelet and undergo weekly drug testing.
Lindsay Lohan is apparently a fugitive from American justice. The actress traveled to Cannes, France to attend the movie festival, where she was, reportedly, promoting her upcoming role as porn star Linda Lovelace.
Los Angeles Superior Court ordered Lindsay to attend a hearing last Thursday (May 13). Lohan’s attorney informed TMZ that Lindsay had the intention to attend her hearing, however, she couldn’t get a flight back to Los Angeles as she, reportedly, had her passport stolen: “”I was on the phone with Lindsay’s assistant the entire night and we’re doing everything we can to resolve this issue and get her back to L.A. Lindsay is distraught because it was her intention to get back to L.A. today to do more alcohol education classes and appear in court tomorrow.”
Photographers say Lindsay is not really “doing everything she can”, as they caught her partying on Tuesday night (May 17) until Wednesday’s 5 A.M. with actor Dominic Cooper at an event in Cannes.
Lindsay Lohan, despite losing or having her passport stolen, did not apply for a new one, U.S. Embassy in France will grant her a temporary passport, but she has to fill paperwork to get it, and the paperwork will only be available on Thursday (May 20). Meanwhile, The judge involved in her case said she will issue Lindsay an arrest order if she doesn’t show to L.A. Court on Thursday (May 20) until 8:30 A.M….
TMZ has learned Lindsay Lohan got one of the craziest settlement offers ever — sobriety for a dismissal.
Lindsay is being sued by three dudes who claim LiLo held them hostage during a wild, drunken ride down Pacific Coast Highway in 2007.
The men are suing Lindsay for emotional distress.
We’re learned months ago Randall Billington, the lawyer for the three men, told Lindsay’s lawyer, Ed McPherson, they would drop the suit if she paid them a total of $7.5 million. But wait, there’s more! We’re told Billington agreed to discount the $7.5 mil by 30%.
But that’s not all. If Lindsay stayed sober for more than 2 years, the boys would give her some of the money back.
The proposal didn’t fly.
So three weeks later, we’re told Billington made another offer — Lindsay would put $3 million in a trust account for the boys and it would sit for 42 months. If Lindsay stayed sober for the 42 months, most of the money would go to charity — the boys would get to keep some of it.
That proposal didn’t fly either. The case is still chugging along.

AllHeadlineNews.com: Lindsay Lohan could possibly be blacklisted by the Indian government after her trip to the country last December to report on child labour and trafficking of women. The actress has falsely claimed that she rescued 40 child workers.
The “Mean Girls” actress made comments to Indian officials during the documentary that highlight the struggle of child labourers, but then Lohan was discovered to have broken the country’s visa rules by travelling as a tourist whilst working for the BBC.
Lohan updated her micro blogging site, Twitter, boasting that she had a role in a raid on a child labour sweatshop and claimed that the experience was life changing. The child star tweeted: “Over 40 children saved so far … Within one day’s work … This is what life is about … Doing THIS is a life worth living!!!”
Lohan later tweeted: “Focusing on celebrities and lies is so disconcerting, when we can be changing the world one child at a time … hope everyone can see that.” However, the activists leading the raids said that Lohan did not arrive in India until after the raids had taken place.
After Lohan’s comments she might not be able to visit India again after officials discovered that she had not applied for a work visa. As well as this, the activists have criticized Lohan’s comments and senior civil servants in New Delhi are studying the case to determine whether she will be added to the immigration blacklist.
DailyFinance.com: Oprah, Madonna, Prince . . . Lindsay? Colorful starlet Lindsay Lohan says she’s in the same league as those single-named iconic entertainers — and that’s why she’s entitled to $100 million from E-Trade (ETFC) for violating her privacy last month in a TV commercial during the Super Bowl.
But Lindsay — er, Lohan — faces a significant burden of proof. “To prevail in a case like this, she would need a consumer survey that is methodologically sound, showing that a significant number of people understand ‘Lindsay’ to be a reference to her,” says Reed Freeman, a partner at Washington-based law firm Morrison Foerster. “That’s the method of proof that would be required here.”
But celebrity lawyer Daniel Horowitz says the ad’s use of the word “milkaholic” is obviously a reference intended to poke fun at Lohan’s personal struggles. “It’s clearly meant to refer to Lindsay Lohan,” Horowitz says. “And the only way E-Trade will get off the hook is if they claim it was some kind of parody.” Interestingly, one of Horowitz’s clients is a man accused of breaking into Lohan’s house, as part of the “Hollywood Bling Ring” case.
Lincoln Bandlow, a partner at Los Angeles-based law firm Lathrop & Gage, says the big hurdle for Lohan is showing that this is a use of her identity, one which violates her privacy. “I don’t think it is,” Bandlow says. “She’s not Sinatra, she’s not Cher, and she’s not Bono.”
But even if she succeeds in doing that, Bandlow says, she then must make an “odd argument,” one which could lead to embarrassing disclosures. “She’s going to have to say that she’s such a lush and an alcoholic that the use of the word ‘milkaholic’ obviously refers to her,” Bandlow says. “The identifying information she will have to cite is someone who is an addict.”
The star of such films as Mean Girls and Herbie: Fully Loaded is suing the giant online brokerage for unlawfully using her “likeness, name, characterization, and personality.” Lohan filed the suit in New York State’s Nassau County Supreme Court Monday, seeking $50 million of compensatory damages and $50 million of exemplary damages. An E-Trade representative says the company has yet to review the filing and has no comment.
In the commercial in question, part of E-Trade’s popular campaign featuring babies who chat about investments and life, an infant refers to “that milkaholic, Lindsay.” Lohan’s troubles with drugs and alcohol and scuffles with the law have been widely chronicled by the celebrity press.
Lohan’s argument hinges on a court’s accepting her contention that her worldwide fame — or notoriety, if you prefer — has turned her first name into a specific, recognizable reference to the her, much like “Oprah” or “Madonna.” “Many celebrities are known by one name only, and E-Trade is using that knowledge to profit,” Lohan’s lawyer, Stephanie Ovadia, told the New York Post.
