Lindsay Lohan Sentenced To 30 Days In Jail

Judge allows Lohan to complete Playboy shoot before going to jail. By Gil Kaufman Lindsay Lohan arrives at the Airport Courthouse in Los Angeles on Wednesday Photo: Toby Canham/Getty Images Lindsay Lohan is once again headed back to the sadly familiar confines of the Los Angeles County jail. The troubled actress appeared in court Wednesday morning (November 2) and was sentenced to 30 days in jail for violating her probation for not attending court-mandated therapy sessions and getting tossed from a community-service gig. According to TMZ , Lohan admitted in court Wednesday that she violated the terms of her probation from a theft case by getting booted from her community-service assignment at the Downtown Women’s Center. Judge Stephanie Sautner was adamant that she would not put up with any more slipups from Lohan, telling her, “This is known as putting the keys to jail in the defendant’s pocket … the first time you violate, you will go to jail.” Lohan will have to serve 12 days at the Los Angeles County morgue — where she’s already been logging some time — and then attend four therapy sessions by December 14. Sautner warned that if Lohan does not meet all those conditions, she will put a warrant out for her arrest and sentence her to an additional 270 days in jail. Sautner revoked Lohan’s probation in October following the revelation that the actress had not completed her obligations from a 2011 arrest on theft charges . What do you think of Lindsay’s return to the big house? Tell us on Facebook! This time around, Lohan will not have the option of serving her time at home , and given the overcrowding situation in L.A. jails, she is only expected to serve 20 percent of the 30 days, or around six days. She has to complete another 12 days at the morgue and four psychotherapy sessions by January 17 and complete her community service (53 days total) and therapy obligations by March 29. If she successfully meets those obligations, her probation will be over. Shockingly, TMZ also reported that Lohan was not immediately sent to jail because Judge Sautner decided to give her time to complete her nude photo shoot for Playboy magazine. Lohan lawyer Shawn Chapman Holley told the judge Lindsay must complete the shoot this week, which is reportedly netting her a cool $1 million. Lohan has one week to surrender and begin her fifth jail term, which is expected to start November 9.

The case is beyond complicated, but the actress could be sentenced to a year and a half in jail if Judge Stephanie Sautner decides she violated her probation. Lohan claims people are trying to make an example out of her and she’s done nothing wrong. But that defense has more cracks than her brittle teeth . Lohan’s biggest problem is her criminal history . Based on a 120-day suspended sentence for shoplifting, time served under house arrest, and prior DUIs, Lindsay could be thrown in jail for a long, long time. The judge has lots of questions at LiLo’s probation progress hearing next week, including why she was booted out of her community service program recently. Lindsay was a no-show nine times at the Downtown Women’s Center, and when she did bother to show up, did not do so for the required four-hour minimum. Lohan, who was kicked out of the program and reassigned to the American Red Cross, has also been skipping her weekly, mandatory psychiatrist appointments. She professional excuse maker claims she did a bunch of therapy sessions by phone. We’ll see if Sautner is moved at all. The fit hits the shan Wednesday a.m. Tell THG: Should LiLo go to jail and do hard time?

Madonna Loathes Hydrangeas, Obviously

Madonna really likes Brahim Zaibat . Hydrangeas? Not so much. Right before a press event for her new film W.E. at the Venice Film Festival, a fan presented the Queen of Pop with a branch of blossoming purple hydrangea. Madonna thanked the fan, but didn’t realize she was being taped when she quickly put the thing under the table, leaned over to some unknown person and said: “I absolutely loathe hydrangeas. He obviously doesn’t know that.” Madonna Loathes Hydrangeas For real. Consider this a cautionary tale brought to you by THG and whoever filmed this incident. Don’t make this same mistake, fans. You’ve been warned.

Miley Cyrus to Prestige: I’m Not a Bad Girl!

Lindsay Lohan: Taking Shoplifting Classes

Career train wreck Lindsay Lohan has been taking shoplifting alternative classes, as ordered by a judge. The hilarious thing? Shoplifting alternative classes exist. The first lesson? Don’t steal jewelry that doesn’t belong to you. Hard to wrap your head around, we know. Lohan must also do 360 hours of court-ordered community service at the Downtown Women’s Center. But has she? Not so far, although she has done about 45 of the 360, and a source says , “Lindsay does have a full year to comply with all terms of community service.” Lindsay also has to do 100 hours at the L.A. County morgue, which she has not yet started. “Lindsay is dreading that aspect the most,” the insider says. Lindsay must appear in front of Judge Stephanie Sautner on October 19 for a progress report. Judging by the last meeting they had , it might not go well. [Photo: WENN.com]

You Can’t Be Serious… Lindsay Blo-han Is Already Off House Arrest???

This broad must be the White celebrity female version of Keyser Söze : “protected by the Devil on high” when it comes to her criminal activity. Her house arrest for constantly violating probabtion and being a thieving drunk/powderhead is officially over. And if you’re trying to remember how much time it’s been since she was sentenced: 35 days. That’s shorter than the amount of summer school a kid gets for failing high school math! A source confirms to E! News that Lohan has had her ankle bracelet removed and is now free to leave her Venice, Calif. residence. Separately, Lindsay’s rep tells E!: “I spoke with her yesterday and she told me she is eager to return to fulfilling her community service obligation which she has been unable to perform during house arrest.” For Lohan, who hasn’t been seen on the big screen since her blink-and-you-missed-it cameo in 2010′s action film Machete, that “obligation” includes mopping floors at the L.A. County Morgue. Lohan was originally sentenced to 120 days in prison for violating her probation after she was charged with felony grand theft for allegedly swiping a $2,500 necklace. Those charges were later reduced to a misdemeanor for which she pleaded no contest. However due to the fact that Lohan’s a non-violent offender, she was eligible to complete her term by spending 35 days in home confinement to reduce jail overcrowding, her movements tracked by an ankle monitor. There was speculation last week that she might end up back in the clink however after she flunked a random alcohol test on June 13. But after being ordered back to court last week, the judge said the incident did not constitute a probation violation. WHAT. The hell??? At least she’s not all the way off the hook. While her time in home detention has come to an end, the actress still has to complete 480 hours of community service that includes 360 hours working at the Downtown Women’s Center in L.A. and another 120 hours performing janitorial duties at the L.A. County Morgue. The community service must be completed within a year and Lohan is due back in court for a progress report on July 21. We don’t even understand why they still waste time and taxpayer money to bring this broad to court when she never ever ever gets punished for real. Souce

Lindsay Lohan Sentenced To 120 Days In Jail

While judge reduced Lohan’s theft charge, she found her in violation of her probation. By MTV News staff Lindsay Lohan arrives for court in Los Angeles Photo: Getty Images Earlier Friday (April 22), Lindsay Lohan received the good news that her felony grand theft charge had been reduced to a misdemeanor , which brought the threat of jail time from a three-year sentence to a possible one-year stint. However, even with that good news, Lohan was still found to be in violation of her probation , for which Judge Stephanie Sautner has just sentenced Lohan to 120 days in county jail. According to TMZ , Lohan is headed to the Lynwood Correctional Facility, where she will be processed and eligible to post bail. Lohan lawyer Shawn Chapman Holley will appeal the sentence. The actress is due back in court May 11 for a pretrial hearing related to the misdemeanor charge. The troubled actress was also ordered to complete 480 hours of community service; 360 of those hours must be performed at the Downtown Women’s Center, and the remaining 120 hours will be served at the L.A. County morgue. Speaking to Lohan’s alleged theft of a $2,500 necklace back in January, Sautner explained that the actress should have notified the store owners instead of waiting several weeks to return the necklace when she found out the cops were about to raid her house. Late last month, Lohan turned down a plea deal offered by the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s office after being told by Judge Keith Schwartz that had she accepted the DA’s deal — reportedly six months of jail time — she would have been found in violation of her probation and could serve more time. Lohan allegedly lifted a $2,500 necklace from a Venice, California, jewelry store on January 22. The owner reported the theft to the Los Angeles Police Department, which later investigated the accusation and presented evidence to the District Attorney’s office.
