Lindsay Lohan Case: Actual Competent Lawyer Joins Defense Team

A California lawyer named David Wohl may be Lindsay Lohan’s best chance to stay out of jail, and he’s trying to come on board her legal team before trial. Wohl wants to join New York attorney Mark Heller – who the judge reamed out as incompetent – when Lindsay’s case comes before the court March 18. The judge told Heller at a pretrial hearing to either bring in a California defense attorney who has a clue, or have LiLo waive her right to competent representation. Michael Lohan found Wohl, who’s practiced criminal defense law for 25 years and has offices in Orange County, and he is ready and willing to help.  Wohl, who has handled cases ranging from shoplifting to murder over his career, has been in daily contact with Heller about the Lindsay Lohan case. LiLo hasn’t given Wohl her stamp of approval … yet. But even if she doesn’t, TMZ reports that MiLo has asked the attorney to show up in court with Heller anyway to force the issue, so stay tuned there. The actress is looking at up to eight months in jail for lying to police and violating probation. So far, overtures toward a plea deal have been rebuffed. One could still be struck at any time before the trial date, or even during the trial, if she actually agrees to go to rehab and get the help she needs. Don’t hold your breath for that scenario, though. Would require Lindsay Lohan using her brain, making a logical decision and being at all self-aware. Will she go to jail?!   Yes. Her luck is running out and she’s going crazy! No! She always finds a way to get out of it! View Poll »

Justin Bieber Upsets Fans, Shows Up Late for Concert

Justin Bieber booed at a concert?!? Now we’ve heard everything. That’s what allegedly went down last night at London’s O2 Arena, according to multiple sources, as Justin was scheduled to take the stage at 8:30 p.m. Instead, he didn’t start his set until 10:30 p.m. Upon his arrival, Bieber heard anything but cat calls from this in attendance, as one summed up the evening on Twitter: “Lots of unhappy parents on a school night, but feel sorry for little kids crying because they missed half concert.” Bieber reportedly cut his set short due to time constraints, as well. This incident is the latest in what has been a tumultuous week for the singer. His 19th birthday was ruined when his entourage got into it with nightclub security and Olivia Wilde told Bieber to wear a shirt more often. But, hey, at least Bieber’s father got him a Bat Bike as a gift and at least Ella-Paige Roberts Clarke is around to make him feel better.

Lindsay Lohan to Avoid Rehab AND Jail?!

Lindsay Lohan may be the luckiest petty criminal ever. A new report indicates that she may reach a plea deal that gets her out of jail AND rehab. Lohan, as you may have heard, already shot down a plea deal in her lying-to-cops / probation violating case because the D.A. insisted on rehab. Not the smartest move when her trial – currently scheduled for March 18 – could result in jail time, but it looks like she’s angling for an even better deal . First of all, there is NO WAY she’s going to trial represented by incompetent lawyer Mark Heller, so a plea bargain is going to be struck one way or another. It’s just a matter of how good it is, which brings us to the latest update. According to celebrity news sources, Heller might not be as bad as we thought: “A plea deal could be reached without Lindsay being forced into [rehab].” “Since she wasn’t arrested or charged with crimes related to drugs or alcohol a plea deal requiring her to go to rehab isn’t the only way a resolution can be reached.” “There are other possibilities including the options of Lohan undergoing extensive counseling and lengthy community service,” the source added. “Talks between Mark Heller, and the City Attorney’s office are ongoing and both sides are hopeful a plea deal can be reached soon that is mutually agreeable.” One wouldn’t think her prospects looked good, given her track record and unwillingness to accept responsibility, coupled with Mark Heller’s stupidity. Never test the limits of Lindsay Lohan ‘s luck, though. If Lohan were to be convicted of lying to law enforcement, or violating her probation (for her necklace thievery), she could be sent to jail for up to 245 days. If a rehab-free plea deal is actually on the table , that sounds like a remote possibility at this point. She has two weeks to work it out before trial, too. What do you think? Will she go to jail?   Yes. Her luck is running out and she’s going crazy! No! She always finds a way to get out of it! View Poll »

Lindsay Lohan Lying-to-Cops Case: Should She Do Legit Jail Time?

Lindsay Lohan’s attorney will be back in court Friday for a hearing in the actress’ latest criminal case, as discussions continue about a possible plea deal. The 26-year-old isn’t required to attend. She’s too busy partying . Just kidding. Although that may not actually be far off at all. The hearing is intended to deal with any issues before a March 18 trial on charges that LiLo lied to police about a car crash and was driving recklessly. Attorney Mark Heller has tried to bargain on his client’s behalf, but Lindsay rejected a plea deal that would have required she go to rehab for 30 or 60 days. Her reason for turning that down? She says she doesn’t have a problem, obviously – why seek help when you’re totally fine and everything’s great?! Clearly, Lohan and Heller are not in sync here. Heller alleges that cops didn’t read her her rights, which is BS, and wants to delay the case so Lohan can seek psychotherapy and set up her foundation. Lohan was on probation at the time of the accident and she faces additional jail time if a judge determines she violated her sentence in a 2011 theft case. Basically, barring another legal Hail Mary or willingness to go to rehab, she could be back behind bars. At least for 88 minutes or so like the last time. Would that even do Lindsay good, though? Maybe rehab would take this time, but she hasn’t shown much (any) effort to change her ways in the past, and clearly her “jail” visits don’t do much. She’s out of control and never takes responsibility for anything. Even ardent LiLo defenders can’t deny that. The only question is how to best help her. If someone doesn’t throw the book at her one of these years, will the pattern ever change? If the spiral continues, Lindsay – or others – could get hurt. Is legit jail time the only answer? Vote:   Yes, that train wreck brat will never learn otherwise! No, quit trying to make an example out of her, haters! View Poll »

Rush Limbaugh: The Left Has Won!

Rush Limbaugh would like to make a clarification. A day after creating a stir by saying he is ” ashamed of America ,” the conservative radio host talked in-depth Friday about exactly what he meant by that comment. Rush Limbaugh: The Left Has Won “The Left has beaten us,” Limbaugh lamented. “They have created far more low-information, unaware, uneducated people than we’ve been able to keep up with… “I’ve always had a Civics 101 view of the country: People get what they want, they vote what they want, and they get the way they vote.” Limbaugh went on to say Democrats “control the education system… pop culture, movies, TV and books” and they do it by creating “dependency,” scaring voters into believing the Right will take it all away if elected. “I’m fed up with it,” he concluded. “I can’t do it anymore…. The whole thing is shamefully absurd. I don’t know how else to say it.” What do you think of Limbaugh’s comments? Has the Left really won? Is there hope remaining for conservatives? And should both sides celebrate the possibility that Rush really is done?

Gavin Doyle, Lindsay Lohan Assistant, Subpoenaed to Testify at Trial

Lindsay Lohan’s former assistant Gavin Doyle was issued a subpoena to testify at her probation violation trial, which is not exactly good news for the star. It was Doyle, after all, who revealed to cops that Lindsay Lohan herself was driving the Porsche that crashed on the Pacific Coast Highway back in June. Lohan reportedly lied to police and said Doyle was driving, and was thus charged with willfully resisting, obstruction, and providing false information. And reckless driving, for good measure. Lohan is still on probation for her misdemeanor jewelry theft conviction at the time of the accident, making the allegations against her a very big deal. The Los Angeles City Attorney moved to revoke Lohan’s probation in December, which could mean eight months in jail – for just the probation violation. If she were to be convicted of lying to police and obstruction as well, that could conceivably tack on more time. Long story short … she could be effed. Lindsay’s next hearing is scheduled for March 1, and Doyle is expected to testify sometime in the next two months. It’s not looking great for the actress. She’s pulled many a rabbit out of her legal hat before, yes, but in this case, she’s got her back pinned against the wall, and not in the sexy kind of way. Lindsay Lohan: Will she do time in 2013?   Yes. Her luck is running out and she’s going crazy! No! She always finds a way to get out of it! View Poll »

Eff This Guy: Teg Nugent Says The “Gangsters In The White House” Barack Obama And Eric Holder Have A Racist Agenda [Video]

Ted Nugent is back to his race-baiting and ignorant azz antics again… Aside from him calling rappers “big uneducated greasy black mongrels” and the President a “gangster,” this guy is accusing Barack Obama and Eric Holder of racism! According to Media Matters: National Rifle Association board member Ted Nugent said that President Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder are “promoting” racism and that the Obama administration has a “racist agenda.” In the past week Nugent has been praised by media figures on CNN and Fox News. Nugent made his comments during an interview on WorldNetDaily’s radio program ; he recently joined the birther website as a columnist… NUGENT: Again it really is a nation divided. And it’s never been more divided. The racism that President Obama and Eric “Gunrunning” Holder promote is just heartbreaking and it’s tragic and those of us that know better have got to constantly expose their ruse and their scams and their racist agenda. Just a week ago, CNN reporter Deb Feyerick praised Nugent as having a “deep connection with the facts” in the gun policy debate. In a follow-up segment on CNN’s Erin Burnett OutFront, Feyerick and host Erin Burnett treated Nugent’s conspiracy theory that Obama will confiscate firearms as a serious policy debate. On Tuesday, Fox News host Bill O’Reilly applauded Nugent’s opposition to gun violence prevention proposals, stating, “Now that kind of straight talk is what the Republican Party needs.” This is not the first time Nugent has addressed the topic of race for WND. On January 9, the conspiracy clearinghouse published an interview with Nugent where he claimed, “there will come a time when the gun owners of America, the law-abiding gun owners of America, will be the Rosa Parks and we will sit down on the front seat of the bus, case closed.” Nugent’s comparison between gun owners and Rosa Parks was roundly denounced by civil rights leaders. Nugent, an ardent defender of the Confederate flag, has a lengthy history of making racially charged comments. In a July 6 column for The Washington Times, Nugent wrote, “I’m beginning to wonder if it would have been best had the South won the Civil War.” He has also claimed that real Americans are “working hard, playing hard, white motherfucking shit kickers who are independent” and that African-American rappers appearing on MTV are “big uneducated greasy black mongrels.” SMH. Check the video to hear his foolishness first hand… WENN

Justin Timberlake Beer Ad to Air During Grammys

Justin Timberlake, beer spokesman? His resume just keeps getting longer. Bud Light Platinum tapped the singer and actor as its newest creative director, responsible for providing “creative, musical and cultural curation.” In other words, Justin Timberlake is about to be pretty much synonymous with Anheuser-Busch’s premium beer brand, the brewing giant announced. The partnership between JT and BL will kick off with an ad spot set to debut during the Grammys Sunday night, set to Timberlake’s new single ” Suit & Tie .” “Bud Light Platinum brings a refined, discerning aesthetic to beer that plays well with what I’m doing,” Justin Timberlake said in a statement. “I’m looking forward to not only being a part of the creative process, but in bringing other talented musicians to the forefront of this as well.” Timberlake follows in the footsteps of Jay-Z, who worked as a creative director for the Budweiser Select and curated the Made In America festival last year. Bud Light also has an endorsement deal with Pitbull, who has campaigns for the brand in both English and Spanish. Can you see JT as a beer guy?

Lindsay Lohan: Partying Too Hard to Sit For Deposition

Lindsay Lohan’s schedule is too packed with jet-setting and partying to sit for a deposition in a lawsuit, according to the photographer who’s suing her. Grigor Balyan sued Lindsay and her assistant last year, claiming the assistant crashed into him in 2010 outside an L.A. nightclub while driving Miss Crazy. Lindsay was riding shotgun and wasn’t injured, but the celebrity news photographer says he ended up in the hospital – and wants Lohan to pay for it. Balyan says his attorney has been trying in vain to get Lindsay to sit for a deposition, but she says she’s too busy … a claim which really pisses them off . After all, besides making terrible movies on occasion, Lindsay Lohan photos prove she’s “busy” partying around the world or dragging her ass to court. Balyan also claims LiLo said she couldn’t come to L.A. last week for the deposition, yet as we know, she flew all the way from NYC for her probation hearing. Balyan is asking a judge to ORDER Lindsay to sit for a deposition regarding this case ASAP, and also wants her to pay $4,842.43 for his lawyer fees. Just add it to the list …

Lindsay Lohan Freaks Out, Flies to L.A. For Court

Lindsay Lohan took the last flight from JFK to LAX Tuesday night after being warned that she’d be in DEEP if she really did call in sick for court . Mom Dina came along as Lindsay Lohan, broke and deeply in debt, flew first class on American Airlines and landed at around 12:30 this morning. LiLo had no intention of showing Wednesday and got a doctor’s note filed with the court, saying she couldn’t fly due to a respiratory infection. So much for that. Pictures of Lindsay shopping and smoking in SoHo the very day she got the doctor’s note were published on celebrity news site TMZ. Busted, baby! After TMZ – a lawyer-run site, mind you – claimed that the judge would probably issue a warrant for her arrest if she didn’t show, Lohan panicked.  Lindsay sources claiming she’s pleading with Shawn Holley, the attorney she fired this month, to come back, saying she didn’t like replacement Mark Heller. What. A. Mess. Holley made it clear days ago she’s off the case, so it’s now up to Heller, who clearly started off on the wrong foot by submitting the doctor’s note. Heller also sent along a New York Post article saying a lot of people in NYC had the flu. Not that Lindsay is one of them, of course. Pretty shady. The lawyer Heller got to sponsor him to appear in a California court has also never met him, so it’s possible the judge could deny him the right to represent Lindsay. So Lindsay could be lawyer-less when she face the music for lying to police after her summer car crash today (11:30 EST). It could get ugly really fast. Lohan: Will she do time in 2013?   Yes. Her luck is running out and she’s going crazy! No! She always finds a way to get out of it! View Poll »
