Lindsay Lohan Reports To Court For Jail Transfer

Actress handcuffed in court on Tuesday morning before being taken to detention center. By Gil Kaufman Lindsay Lohan in court on Tuesday Photo: Pool/ Getty Images Following a 10-minute appearance in court on Tuesday (July 20), Lindsay Lohan was handcuffed and taken out of a Beverly Hills courtroom around 8:46 a.m. PT on her way to begin serving a 90-day jail sentence . Amid shouts of “Lindsay, I love you!” from a handful of supporters swarming the entrance to the courthouse, Lohan arrived nearly eight minutes late for the appearance, emerging from a black SUV and quickly walking through the gauntlet of fans, photographers and TV cameras on her way to the courtroom of Judge Marsha Revel. Flanked by attorney Shawn Chapman Holley , Lohan — wearing a black cropped jacket, a sleeveless green top, a black corset, tight jeans, black boots and dark sunglasses — walked quickly through the camera line and was showered by confetti by one admirer. Less than 24 hours after O.J. Simpson attorney Robert Shapiro resigned from the case, Lohan was once again represented by Holley, who began the brief court appearance by noting that she had never officially stepped down. The “Mean Girls” actress looked tired and resigned as some procedural matters were discussed. According to MSNBC, Lohan’s estranged father, Michael, shouted out, “I love you Lindsay!” as his daughter was taken away. The judge reminded reporters that there were to be no pictures of Lohan being cuffed or taken to jail. Despite the drama, the actress kept her composure and did not break down. Revel noted that there would be no house arrest, electronic monitoring, work release or furlough for Lohan, though she admitted that even she was not exactly sure of how many days the star would serve in the jail. Though sentenced to 90 days at the Century Regional Detention Center in Lynwood, because of severe overcrowding, Lohan is not expected to serve more than 25 percent of her time. That means she could be out in 23 days, at which point she will be transferred to a 90-day inpatient rehab program as part of her sentence. On Monday evening, Lohan sent what could be her final tweet before being locked up: “The only ‘bookings’ that I’m familiar with are Disney films, never thought that I’d be ‘booking’ into jail … eeeks.” People.com , quoting anonymous sources close to the 24-year-old actress, said Lohan had a rough weekend at the Pickford Lofts sober-living facility, where she checked in last week. “It’s been a rough weekend,” the source said. “She has not been able to sleep and has barely been eating. All weekend, Lindsay kept crying, chain smoking and chewing her nails.” Related Photos Lindsay Lohan Goes To Court The Highs And Lows Of Lindsay Lohan Related Artists Lindsay Lohan

Lindsay Lohan Spotted At Sober-Living Facility

Actress, who is slated to report to jail next Tuesday, was filmed entering rehab on Wednesday. By Gil Kaufman Less than a week before she’s scheduled to begin a 90-day jail sentence in Los Angeles, Lindsay Lohan has moved into a sober living facility, X17Online.com reports. The site claims that Lohan, 24, was spotted entering the facility in West Hollywood on Wednesday afternoon and was visited later in the day by her mother, sister and ex-girlfriend, DJ Samantha Ronson. In addition to the 90-day jail sentence for probation violation, Lohan was ordered to check into an in-patient rehab facility following her stint in jail. According to TMZ, the troubled actress is in the process of hiring famed O.J. Simpson attorney Robert Shapiro in an attempt to get her sentence either reduced or tossed out in favor of an immediate trip to rehab. Shapiro has not publicly confirmed that he is representing Lohan, and a spokesperson for the “Mean Girls” star could not be reached for comment at press time. Lohan is currently without a lawyer after attorney Shawn Chapman Holley quit last week. X17 posted videos purportedly showing Lohan checking into Pickford Lofts, a sober living facility started by Shapiro in the wake of his son’s drug overdose death in 2005. Another video shows the arrivals of her visitors throughout the day. Lohan, who has been in rehab several times in the past, has been lying low since her sentencing and the scandal that erupted thanks to an obscene message she had airbrushed on her fingernail before her court appearance. She did somewhat break her silence this week by engaging in a Twitter feud with comedian Joan Rivers and addiction specialist Dr. Drew. Do you think Lindsay’s latest move will save her from jail? Let us know in comments below. Related Photos The Highs And Lows Of Lindsay Lohan Lindsay Lohan Goes To Court Related Artists Lindsay Lohan

Lindsay Lohan Hires O.J. Simpson Lawyer Robert Shapiro

New attorney will reportedly try to eliminate or minimize jail time in favor of rehab stay. By Kara Warner Lindsay Lohan in court July 6 Photo: David McNew/ Getty Images It appears that the various rumblings regarding Lindsay Lohan’s new legal counsel are true: The troubled star has secured experienced criminal defense attorney Robert Shapiro, who famously represented O.J. Simpson in his 1994 murder trial. According to TMZ , Shapiro does not have plans to appeal Lohan’s 90-day jail sentence but will try to convince Judge Marsha Revel to put Lindsay in a rehab facility and either eliminate or minimize jail time. Shapiro’s son Brent died of a MDMA drug overdose in 2005, and the website reports that the laywer has a specific plan and place in mind for Lohan: a live-in rehab facility with which he is said to be involved. Shapiro has not yet shared his thoughts on his new client to any major media outlets,

Lindsay Lohan Is A ‘Fragile Lost Child,’ Lawyer Says

Stuart Goldberg declined to take her case after meeting with Lohan over the weekend. By Gil Kaufman Lindsay Lohan Photo: Dave McNew/ Getty Images Even with a 90-day jail sentence and a 90-day bid in an inpatient rehab facility to follow, a lawyer who met with Lindsay Lohan over the weekend about possibly taking up her case said the actress still doesn’t appear to fully understand how serious her situation is. According to People magazine, Chicago attorney Stuart V. Goldberg met with Lohan, her mother Dina and younger sister Ali at Lohan’s West Hollywood apartment this week after the “Mean Girls” star was dropped by her former attorney , and he came away concerned that his potential client is living in a fantasy world. “My impression of Lindsay is that she’s a fragile lost child — a sleeping beauty with her head in the sand. I found her not fully forewarned of the consequence of her actions,” Goldberg reportedly told the magazine. “I’m concerned that she’s not disciplined or tethered enough to the reality of adult consequences. … She doesn’t seem to have the awareness of what’s going to befall her.” Criminal defense attorney Goldberg was contacted after Lohan’s attorney, Shawn Chapman Holley, quit the case following the backlash against the 24-year-old actress’ actions and alleged comments following her sentencing, which included revelations that she had the phrase “f— u” stenciled on her middle fingernail during the court appearance. After explaining to the Lohans that his requirement for taking on Lindsay’s case was “100 percent loyalty and zero tolerance for dishonesty,” Goldberg said “they didn’t seem to understand the urgency and gravity of the situation.” Additionally, TMZ reported that unnamed insiders said Goldberg may have split because Lohan’s manager said they couldn’t afford to pay him, while a source in the actress’ camp said it was because of personality issues. Much as she did during her probation hearing last week, Goldberg said Lohan took copious notes in a notebook during their six-hour meeting, while sister Ali asked “astute” questions, but in the end he declined to take on the case. He said at one point he worried that Lohan might be in a “dangerous state” and asked the actress — who has struggled with addiction issues and spent time in several rehab facilities — if she had thought about hurting herself. “She started sobbing quietly. She was genuinely in pain,” Goldberg said, adding that Lohan was “like Teflon” to his comment that she should get out of the toxic environment of Los Angeles. “It just slid right off her. She seemed to have some inner deep sadness that that was her fate.” Related Photos Lindsay Lohan Goes To Court The Highs And Lows Of Lindsay Lohan Related Artists Lindsay Lohan

Jessica Simpson: Dating a Married Man!

Jessica Simpson and boyfriend Eric Johnson are hitting it off. Too bad he’s a former NFL player, which she hasn’t had much luck with … and still legally married! He also went to Yale, which is far more surprising to us given who he’s dating. Anyway, he’s separated from his wife, which we’re positive Jessica is aware of. As such, the magazine cover below may be slightly misleading when it implies it has uncovered some sort of scandal. The guy is technically married, however. Jessica began dating Eric Johnson , who filed for divorce from his wife of five years, Keri, in January, around five weeks ago. They met at her Beverly Hills’ home. Friends introduced the tight ends at a party she had. RISKY NEW ROMANCE : Really, what romance isn’t for Jessica? “Jess is definitely rushing into this ,” an insider says, noting they recently went to Jacksonville, Fla., to celebrate Eric’s grandparents’ 60th wedding anniversary! When not hanging out with his entire family, Simpson and Johnson made time for some serious PDA at the modest, family-friendly Ponte Vedra Inn & Club. “Her hand was on his butt, and they walked slowly just to enjoy the moment. They looked cute,” says an insider, who saw a “Do Not Disturb” sign on the door. Shocking news there … they didn’t want a maid barging in. Friends fear Jessica Simpson has already altered her lifestyle for her New Age-leaning, yoga-loving fella: “Just shocked my system with a vegan diet, special Pu-erh tea from China and cupping since Friday,” she Twittered on June 27.

Lindsay Lohan to Appeal Jail Sentence; Lawyer Quits

“I’m not going to jail!” – Lindsay Lohan The troubled star vows to appeal the 90-day jail sentence Judge Marsha Revel handed down, according to one source who was with her on Wednesday night. Linds was talking with people in her apartment about appealing the case, and uttered the above quote. Not only a spoiled brat, but also delusional, apparently.
