Ever since she was accused of stealing a necklace Lindsay Lohan has maintained her innocence and has been adamant that she wont go to jail. But now TMZ are reporting she is considering taking a plea deal and going to jail.
Apparently Judge Keith Schwartz had offered Lindsay and her attorney, Shawn Holley, a plea deal that would see Lindsay being sent to jail for three months but she would be let out after 19 days because of overcrowding. Lindsay originally insisted on not taking the deal but now she is starting to realize it might be the best option.
If she does choose to fight in court she could either get off with it but in reality she will lose and could get over a year in jail for violating her probation as well as more time for a felony over theft. Lindsay will be back in court on Friday to either accept the plea deal or fight it.
I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve wrote about Lindsay Lohan being in court and possibly going to jail.
Less than a month after announcing that they are getting divorced things have already gone sour between Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz because according to TMZ he’s taking to court over custody.
When she filed for divorce she asked the judge for joint legal custody and primary physical custody of their 2-year-old son Bronx but this doesn’t sit too well with Pete. He has now filed legal documents asking the judge for joint physical and legal custody of Bronx.
In her original filing she also asked for spousal and child support as well as asking the judge to make Pete pay her legal fees but yet again this isn’t sitting too well with Pete and he is asking that they both pay their own legal fees.
I knew this divorce wouldn’t go too smoothly, especially considering her father is Joe Simpson and he will do anything for a quick buck. I wouldn’t be surprised if this custody battle starts going in the direction that Halle Berry‘s did.
Lindsay Lohan is currently in court to see whether or not she will be heading back to jail or rehab, but we will get to that later when the verdict comes in. For now let’s talk about somebody trying to murder Michael Lohan.
According to TMZ, Michael was attacked by a man in his 50′s or 60′s outside his home in Santa Monica last night and he cut his throat with a knife.
Michael told the police that an hour before the attack he received a threatening phone call and then when he went out to get some cigarettes the a man came up behind him and so started the attack.
The older man was wearing an all black track suit, he first started to choke Michael before pulling out some kind of shank and sliced Michael’s neck and arms.
Michael then fought the older man off, who ran away. Police came to the scene and began taking statements and stuff, they thing the motive behind the attack is because the man didn’t want Michael to show up at Lindsay’s court hearing today.
I know I shouldn’t laugh at any kind of violence but I did.
It was judgment day for Paris Hilton today as she appeared before a judge in Las Vegas regarding her arrest last month on cocaine possession and as everyone expected – she escaped going to jail.
Paris stood before a judge and pleaded guilty to drug possession and obstructing an officer, instead of being told she was heading to the slammer she was given 200 hours of community service and a $2,000 fine.
She was also handed a year of probation and must complete and intensive substance abuse program. The judge warned that if she is arrested again, for anything other than a minor traffic violation, in the next year then she will be serving one year at the Clark County Detention Center.
The judge then said “The Clark County Detention Center is not the Waldorf Astoria.” I like this judge for cracking a joke but I don’t like him for basically letting her off with it. I was hoping to see her being sent to the chokey.

The other day TMZ said that Lindsay Lohan failed one of her drug tests when she tested positive for cocaine, she denied this and said “they’re all nuts.” She has since changed her tune and admitted she did fail it.
Lindsay did something that she has never done in her life… she decided to go on her Twitter page and finally admit that she messed up. In a bunch of tweets she said…
“Regrettably, I did in fact fail my most recent drug test and if I am asked, I am prepared to appear before judge Fox next week as a result. Substance abuse is a disease, which unfortunately doesn’t go away over night. I am working hard to overcome it and am taking positive steps forward every day. I am testing every single day and doing what I must do to prevent any mishaps in the future. This was certainly a setback for me but I am taking responsibility for my actions and I’m prepared to face the consequences. I am so thankful for the support of my fans, loved ones and immediate family, who understand that i am trying hard, but also that I am a work in progress, just as anyone else. I am keeping my faith, and I am hopeful….Thank you all!!!”
Well it’s about time that she admits to being wrong, I’m actually shocked she did. But then again it’s Lindsay Lohan she was probably high the whole time.

During her court hearing on Tuesday, Lindsay Lohan was seen taking diligent notes in red pen, and now a high resolution shot of her jottings has made its way to the web, revealing Lohan to have … well, an astute ear for detail and absolutely fantastic penmanship.
Cameras got a clear shot of the notes when Lohan used them to cover her face. In the meticulously detailed document, Lohan appears to respond to her alleged malfeasance, listing where she was and when she made up each absence from her alcohol education classes.
Given the grammatical and spelling inaccuracies of Lohan’s frequent Twitter rants, the sheer detail included in the notes, as well as the near-perfect block lettering, are especially notable.
The notes make reference to her father, Michael Lohan, being in the courtroom. “Dad’s sitting behind Liana [Lindsay's sister Ali],” Lindsay wrote. The actress and her father have had a tense relationship for years, and Lindsay currently refuses to speak to her father. Of Lindsay’s jail sentence, Michael told US Weekly, “It’s not going to be a good experience for her … It’s just a horrible experience. Twenty-three hours a day, she’ll be locked up.”
Also named in Lohan’s notes is her alcohol education program director, Cherie Marshall of Right On Programs. “Cherie only found out about the court order online … is not a probation officer,” the notes read. As a side note on the Right On Program, Lohan writes, “1,200 clients in Right On Programs.”
The actress lists a Haiti “benefit and fundraiser” in London as well as a press work for her 6126 apparel line as reasons for her absence from scheduled classes. She also details the exact dates of her missed classed and when they were made up, and seems to address an instance where she feels she has received unfair treatment: “Progress reports for LL [Lindsay Lohan] to be more consistent w/ classes. But LL was @ classes 4 wks in a row.”
Lohan was sentenced Tuesday to 90 days in jail and a 90-day inpatient rehabilitation program. The actress will likely serve approximately 23 days behind bars because, according to Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department spokesperson Steve Whitmore, female inmates in custody for nonviolent crimes generally serve about 25 percent of their sentence.
On Thursday, Shawn Chapman Holley said in a press release, “All we want is for Lindsay to be treated like everyone else and that hasn’t happened so far,” adding that Lindsay is “extremely disappointed” in the sentence she received. Later that same day, Holley, who served as Lohan’s council during her hearing, told TMZ that she no longer represented the actress. (Holley did not provide a reason for her departure from the Lohan case, but RadarOnline reports she quit when she heard the actress was searching for a new lawyer.)
Soon after Holley’s departure, reports surfaced that Lohan had hired Tiffany Esther Feder-Cohen, who just passed the California bar in November, to represent her. Dina Lohan’s lawyer, Stephanie Ovadia, has denied the Feder-Cohen connection to Radar, saying, “Tiffany Feder-Cohen is not Lindsay’s attorney and never was. She is just a good friend who is helping out. Lindsay’s new attorney will be announced today [Friday].”
In the latest Lindsay Lohan news, because there has been so much of it happening lately, she is apparently demanding up to $1 million dollars for her post-jail interview. Oh and her lawyer has just quit working for her.
Back in 2007 when Paris Hilton was released from her 23-day stint in jail she was offered $1 million dollars to do television interviews but the public had a fit she was getting money for being in jail so television networks pulled out and she eventually did a free interview for Larry Ling.
But now instead of just paying the person a straight up fee, the network can get a licensing deal which provides “compensation” to the person for using personal shit like video footage. Lindsay (and her people) knows this and are going to try go down that road, a source says…
“Financially, it’s the best thing that could have ever happened to Lindsay, it’s no secret that Lindsay has been in financial trouble for a while. She will earn more money from her post-prison interview than she ever earned acting. Expect to see a major TV and magazine deal, Lindsay might have made a lot of mistakes, but she knows how much her first interview is worth. She won’t even consider offers of less than $1 million.”
In other news TMZ contacted her lawyer, Shawn Chapman Holley, to ask her for a quote but she told them she has quit working for Lohan. When it rains it really does pour on Lindsay.
I think we can all save the television networks a lot of money by predicting exactly how the interview is going to go – she will lie through her teeth and blame everybody else then have a million excuses as to why everything has gone wrong for her while also begging for forgiveness and to be given a tenth chance. She may even throw in the odd tear or two.

As well know Lindsay Lohan was sentenced to 90 days in jail and 90 days in rehab during her probation violation hearing yesterday, but today we see the little message she had on her fingernail during the hearing – it says “fuck u”.

There’ trouble on the way to Lindsay Lohan and her legal team because her alcohol monitoring bracelet was set off at an after-party for the MTV Movie Awards.
It’s not known if she drank alcohol or if the device was tampered with but they’re the only two options that would make the SCRAM bracelet alert authorities.
Judge Marsha Revel will be notified of this and may end up dragging Lohan back into the courts, as part of her bail - Lohan was not to drink alcohol and had to wear the bracelet 24/7 if she broke these bail conditions then she would be thrown in jail.

First of all the biggest shock about this is the fact that Lindsay Lohan actually showed up to court this morning in Los Angeles, when she arrived she was told she would have to wear an alcohol-monitoring bracelet.
TMZ say that Lindsay and her lawyer showed up 10 minutes late to the court hearing wearing a dark suit, they told the judge the reason they were late is because of the security concern outside the courthouse. Inside, Judge Marsha Revel told Lindsay that if she wants to remain on bail then she is not allowed to drink and would have to wear the SCRAM device around her ankle as well as have weekly random drug testing.
The judge also said she is not to leave the LA area to which her lawyer tried to ask if Lindsay could take the bracelet off when she is working and tried to use the excuse that has a movie shoot in Texas and some photoshoots coming up, the judge was having none of it and told her to work around it or delay the projects.
The bracelet will be slapped on Lindsay within 24 hours and it can detect any alcohol through the persons sweat, if she tries to take it off then it automatically alerts the police. Lindsay will also have to continue her alcohol ed classes once a week and the only reason she can miss one is if she has a drug test that day.
Lindsay Lohan is due back in court on July 6 to see if she has stuck to her probation terms, if not she will be thrown in jail.

Anthony Michael Hall has landed himself in some very hot water, you see the former member of the 1980′s Brat Pack has been allegedly stalked his ex-girlfriend and attacked her.
Apparently the Breakfast Club actor was served with a temporary restraining order after he allegedly attacked his ex-girlfriend, Diana Falzone, in her New York apartment. The order states that Hall must “refrain from assault, stalking, harassment… menacing, reckless endangerment and intimidation”.
Falzone, who is a radio DJ And relationship expert (yeah I laughed too), claims that Hall attempted to kick her apartment door down last week and when she let him in he banged her head against the wall. A spokesman for Anthony Michael Hall, who suffers from bipolar disorder, said they didn’t know about the restraining order but “all of the allegations are erroneous and will be addressed accordingly.”
Oh and for shits and giggles, the last relationship article that Diana Falzone wrote is titled “How Not To Date a Loser.”
Michael Lohan has been subpoenaed to testify in the lawsuit of TLC against his former friend Jon Gosselin.
TLC is suing Gosselin because according to them, he broke his deal with them when he started taking money from other deals and TV appearances without consulting them.
Lohan who has been in Boston all weekend tells TMZ that he accepted the papers and told them to leave the papers at his house, he has yet to see the papers though.
In true Lohan fashion he is telling anybody who will listen about the case, speaking to RadarOnline he said..
“He did deals with me, I was working on a deal with him for a Nutrisystem endorsement and a book deal. He got a paid a lot of money for different promotions, clubs, magazines, and by a TV network. At times he said what we were doing was ok; at times times he said it was a problem. I guess that’s why he got paid cash for so many of the personal appearances so no one would know. He would get paid between $2,500-$5,000 or even more, some casinos would give him poker chips. I was negotiating a deal for Nutrisystem but when the negative press came out Nutrisystem ran for the hills. We didn’t get to the numbers with Nutrisystem but it would have been six-figures.”
Maybe with this lawsuit taking up Michael Lohan‘s time, he will lay off his daughter Lindsay Lohan for a bit? Probably not.
Remember the good old days when we would be getting new pictures of Britney Spears running around to McDonalds at about midnight? Those days are long gone.
However sometimes we do get some news with her, like today – we find out that she and ex-husband Kevin Federline (now known as K-Fat) will continue to share 50/50 custody.
The biggest trailer trash couple of our time will continue their custody of Sean Preston and Jayden James for the rest of the year at least.
Under the terms of the court order, Britney gets to keep the kids while she continues her Circus tour and if K-Fat wants to tag along she must pay for his hotel expenses.
Also in as well as getting the $20,000 that Britney pays him in child support, he gets an additional $25,000 when the kids are outside of California.
Britney Spears should totally stick Kevin Federline in a motel 8, that would show the judge whether or not he wants to see the kids so badly.
Apparently her father Jamie Spears feels that Britney has come along way since he took control of her life and finances in February 2009.
The problem is Jamie can’t ask the judge to end it, he as to ask for the conservatorship to be reviewed once her Circus tour comes to a finish in November.
Do you think Britney Spears has come far enough to be on her own or do you think she would go back to her midnight Starbucks runs?
