Free Lindsay: Lohan Likely to Leave Rehab Early!
So much for 90 days in jail and 90 more in rehab. Try about 15 per.
Friday, we reported on the very real possibility that a troubled Lindsay Lohan would be released from rehab at UCLA Neuropsychiatric Hospital on the early side.
Now it looks like it’s actually going down that way, as early as this week, according to sources close to the situation. She may be a free woman by the weekend!
Lindsay’s doctors have not written a final report, but have (apparently) concluded the actress’ psychiatric problems are not nearly as severe as first thought.
There were indications Lindsay was bipolar but that proved not to be the case. Additionally, her drug addiction issues are not as severe as initially believed.
The powers that be apparently think Lindsay Lohan is better already.
Lohan’s issues with Adderall are well documented, but the doctors reportedly don’t think it requires more inpatient care - outpatient care may begin soon.
The new judge in the case must approve any early release, of course, and you can bet that Linds’ lawyer, Shawn Chapman Holley, will request that shortly.
After all, Lindsay’s an inspiration in there.
If medical professionals think releasing her is a good idea, the judge will almost certainly go along with it. But would more rehab do her additional good?
We understand she causes a circus for UCLA, but we think she’s a troubled individual who can’t handle life on her own, and releasing her into the care of enablers like that wretch Dina Lohan will only make things worse. But that’s just us.
Tell us what you think: Should L-squared be released so soon?
Lindsay Lohan: What an Inspiration
Troubled star Lindsay Lohan is reportedly becoming a mentor to some of the younger girls she’s in rehab with. Is this the definition of irony or what?
The female patients at the UCLA Medical Center have really struck a chord with Lohan, who is “passionate” about mentoring them however she can.
Sources within the facility where she’s being treated say Lindsay has taken a genuine liking to the girls, writing inspirational notes and giving advice.
Whether they should take it is another story.
REHAB COUNSELOR: Lindsay Lohan is playing the role.
As for life in rehab, 1 source close to Linds describes it as “full-on Girl, Interrupted” and according to TMZ, there is no special treatment for Lohan this time around - if anything, nurses are being harder on her to prove otherwise.
For instance, the 24-year-old doesn’t have a window in her room and she can’t even change the channels on her TV herself because it’s behind glass.
We can hear Dina Lohan whining already.
Dina Lohan Defends Lindsay, Blames Judge, is One of the Worst Parents of All Time
Dina Lohan needs to shut her yap.
Lindsay Lohan’s enabler and mother simply will not acknowledge her kid’s faults in any capacity. Unconditional love is one thing. Living in denial, babying grown adults and setting a terrible example overall are quite another.
Argumentative diva Dina appeared on the Today show Friday morning and promptly defended the behavior of Lindsay Lohan while placing all the blame on the criminal justice system, specifically the judge who sentenced her to jail.
Basically, in DinaLand, Marsha Revel refused to give Linds a free pass (which she basically got anyway from the correctional facility), therefore she sucks.
“I’m not condoning drinking and driving, but she’s still paying the price for what she did in 2007,” said Dina. “She’s changed. She’s grown up considerably.”
This is not true. Lindsay repeatedly violated the very simple terms of her probation, acted like she was beyond reproach, and finally got hers. End of story.
To Dina, Lindsay can do no wrong. This explains a whole lot about the train wreck’s conduct over the past several years. [Photos: PacificCoastNewsOnline.com]
Asked what accounted for the change, Dina told Matt Lauer, “Age. Living life. Knowing life. Growing up.” Right. Whatever that means. Very convincing, Dina.
Accusing Revel of “going overboard” and “playing hardball” by ordering Lindsay to jail for 90 days (she served 13) and to rehab, Dina claims the judge recused herself from the case this week because she was about to be fired.
Lindsay “was [thrown in jail] for missing a couple of classes and was working at the time,” Dina Lohan says, apparently confusing “clubbing” with “working.”
Pressed about coverage of her daughter’s problems, Dina said it’s “propaganda,” and “pre-orchestrated. You’re reading things that are not based on fact.”
Whining about attention she craves, she adds: “Her life is magnified. She is under a microscope … Lindsay doesn’t realize a lot of people are watching her.”
For now, in rehab, “She’s great,” said Dina. “She’s been through a lot.”
What do you think? Lindsay Lohan belongs in …
Lindsay Lohan to Leave Rehab Early Too?
She already got special treatment in jail. Now Lindsay Lohan could get an early release from UCLA Medical Center as well, if the new judge in her case grants it.
Judge Marsha Revel, who recused herself from the case this week, ordered Lindsay to spend 90 days in lockdown at UCLA for psychiatric and drug treatment.
However, the inpatient program she’s in typically lasts 45 days.
When the program ends, new judge Elden Fox could release Lindsay from UCLA and place her in outpatient care. The question is whether that’s likely to happen.
It’s “not uncommon” for a patient to repeat a program, according to TMZ, meaning that after 45 days, Lindsay could be given the same treatment another time.
Lindsay could be back doing weird fashion shoots before you know it.
The treatment is not necessarily redundant because patients often absorb a lot more the second time, having already been through the more difficult first 45.
It’s also possible, if not likely that UCLA would customize Lohan’s treatment for the second 45-day stretch based on her unresolved drug and mental issues.
Doctors have not decided how long this phase of Lindsay’s treatment should last, and Judge Fox would almost certainly follow doctors’ recommendations.
Lindsay has been at UCLA for 11 days after getting sprung from jail after less than two weeks. That was supposed to be a 90-day stint as well, if you recall.

Judge Recuses Herself From Lindsay Lohan Case
Marsha Revel, the Beverly Hills judge notoriously unmoved by Lindsay Lohan’s nonsense and who threw her in jail last month, is stepping down from the case.
Revel recused herself Friday after the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s office objected to meetings between the judge and defense attorneys in the case.
Prosecutor Danette Meyers raised the issue at a meeting between her, Revel and Lohan’s defense attorney Shawn Chapman Holley, according to the L.A. Times.
Before prosecutors could file to request the change, Revel stepped aside, court spokesman Allan Parachini confirmed. Judge Elden Fox has taken her place.
The judge’s contact with defense lawyers as well as others, such as the Morningside Recovery drug and alcohol treatment center, were the source of conflict.
It is unclear how or why this contact was inappropriate.
After Lohan’s release from the Century Regional Detention Center in Lynwood, she was taken to the neuropsychiatric ward at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center.
There, she will receive three months of rehab.
The change of judges marks the latest twist in a drama in which Revel had gone toe-to-toe with Lohan frequently and taken center stage along with the actress.
Last month, Revel dressed down the troubled star for repeatedly lying about her role in two drunken-driving related incidents within months of each other in 2007, and then failing to attend alcohol education classes as part of her probation.
“I’m not taking this as a joke,” Lohan told the judge at the July 6 hearing before Revel. “I take responsibility for my actions. I’ve tried to do the best I can. It’s been such a long haul, I don’t want you to think that I don’t respect you.”
The whole fingernail display didn’t help that argument.
Strange Lindsay Lohan Fashion Shoot of the Week: Italian Vogue!
Given that she’s been in and out of courtrooms, jail cells and rehab centers for a good month now, it’s amazing how many random Lindsay Lohan photos keep surfacing. Where does our girl even find the time for all these shoots?
Last week it was for her 6126 line. This week? Italian Vogue!
What these pictures are trying to tell us, we have no idea, and we don’t mean because we can’t read the text. We understand that fashion photography is supposed to be artistic and all, but can someone please explain the point here?
We can say she makes a better brunette than blonde, though …
Lindsay Lohan Got Special Treatment in Jail, Loser Inmate Complains
Dina Lohan says her daughter Lindsay was treated like a common criminal during her stint in jail. Not the case, says another girl in there for the same thing.
“Lindsay had a lot of special treatment while she was in jail,” Katie A., who did not give her last name, likely because she is also a drunk driving idiot, said.
“The entire jail was put on lockdown any time Lindsay left her cell. She spent a lot of time in her cell, but also went to the medical clinic several times a day.”
Not only that, but “One employee of the jail had to spend his day searching the entire place for any books by Ernest Hemmingway for Lindsay,” Katie says.
“Those are the only books she would read.”
Hey, she has discerning taste, okay? Lay off, girl!
INMATE 6126: Lindsay was a special one, sources say.
In addition to having the jail cleared while she was on the move, poor Katie A. laments that rich, famous Lohan also got a brand new jail uniform everyday, while other inmates just got a clean pair once a week – if they were lucky!
Katie also says Lindsay, who is now in rehab being treated for drug abuse and mental health issues, was granted her commissary order when she was incarcerated July 20 even though all orders are supposed to be placed Monday night.
“I checked into Lynwood on the same Tuesday as Lindsay and had to wait until the next week for my commissary order to be placed,” Katie says.
“But Lindsay got hers. I was sentenced to 30 days because of a violation of my probation for not attending an alcohol education class,” she adds.
“The same thing as Lindsay. Lindsay served 13 days out of her 90 day sentence whereas I had to serve 20 days for a much lesser sentence.”
Aww. We would feel bad, but how hard is it to:
- Call a cab?
- Go to one BS alcohol education class per week?
Not very. Morons.
Poor Lindsay Lohan Assistant Now Being Tortured as Dina Lohan Lackey
If you thought being Lindsay Lohan’s assistant was a bad job, try being Dina Lohan’s assistant - with Ali Lohan’s b!tch work thrown in for good measure!
Welcome to the private hell of Eleonore Lieven.
One would assume that with the actress in rehab, Lindsay’s long-suffering assistant would have relatively little to do for 90 days. Not exactly the case.
She’s “miserable,” “super-stressed” and “incredibly worn out” these days, according to reports, even though Linds has been indisposed since July 20.
Saddled with Dina and Ali Lohan’s dueling bidding instead, she’s stuck listening to the world’s most terrible mother “go on about nothing for days.”
Worst. Job. Ever.
Dina, sources close to Eleonore say, rambles about potential business deals - one of which centers on a storage locker with Lindsay’s old clothes and other belongings.
Dina wants to do a garage sale with crap that doesn’t fit in her place.
Riiiiiiight. That would be lucrative. There’s an entire line of Lindsay Lohan fashion they can purchase brand new. Why would anyone want items that have been on the floors of so many nightclub bathrooms? It just makes no sense.
That’s only half of it, too. Ali Lohan, 16, has Eleonore doing pick ups, drop offs, etc. Suddenly, being Lindsay’s lackey seems like the lap of luxury.
How bad is the job market that someone even wants to be Lindsay Lohan’s assistant? What does one get out of that? On second thought, Kate Major ended up dating Jon Gosselin and briefly engaged to Lindsay’s dad. Totally worked out.
Weird Lindsay Lohan Fashion Shoot of the Day
Another day, another random Lindsay Lohan fashion photo shoot.
This “artsy” shoot features the alleged actress writhing, squatting and trying to be sexy to promote a clothing line by … herself! It’s the 6126 Fall Lookbook shoot!
It’s unclear if anyone actually buys Lindsay’s clothes, but good for her!
The photos are sort of cool, and sort of hot … yet almost as funny as this video of her recent incarceration. Because it’s Lindsay, it’s hard to take her seriously.
Maybe that’s us, though. What do you think of her 6126 line? Something you would wear? Check out (and click to enlarge) the Lindsay Lohan pics below:
The Incarceration of Lindsay Lohan: A Reenactment
By now you pretty much know all there is to know about the Lindsay Lohan saga. Well, if you live in the U.S., anyway. For viewers in Taiwan, a news station decided to sum up the celebrity scandal with an animated reenactment.
As with their interpretation of Tiger and Elin Woods’ fight last December, Taiwanese News Channel’s take on the incarceration of Lindsay takes some (hilarious) creative liberties. Michael Lohan was not next to her in court, for example.
Michael makes two cameos in this dramatization for some reason, throwing a shoe at Kate Major in the other. Meanwhile, TNC’s vision of Lindsay’s life in jail - prison yard fights, dropping the soap in the shower - is LOL material.
