It seems that the hardcore party life of a young, Hollywood starlet proves too much for good-girl-gone-bad Lindsay Lohan. After many troubles dealing with drugs and alcohol and her rather haughty attitude (on and off the set), Lohan has found herself in the same predicament as fellow Hollywood wild child Paris Hilton and rebel Khloe Kardashian – behind bars with pending plans to enter rehab upon release.
In May of this year, Lohan failed to show up in court for a scheduled hearing on her DUI progress report from incidents dating from May 2007, in which she was charged twice with the misdemeanor of driving while under the influence of alcohol. Small amounts of cocaine were also found in her possession at these times. After a small stint in jail (lasting less than two hours) and many failed attempts at rehabilitation, Lohan seemed to understand that she needed to get her life back in order and sober up, but the fast life and glamour offered in Hollywood still got the best of her in the end.
After a July 6 hearing that determined Lohan had indeed violated terms of her probation by not showing up to her scheduled alcohol education classes, the judge sentenced Lohan to 90 days at the Lynwood Correctional Facility in California beginning July 20. After serving her time Lohan will then be required to enter a rehab facilitation for another 90 days. According to LA County Sheriff officials, in order to prevent jail overcrowding, Lohan will probably only serve 13 of her 90 days sentence, given the nature of her non-violent crime. Lohan is set to be released the beginning of August.
The main question now is what rehab center will be lucky enough to supply treatment to the controversial, rebel princess of Hollywood. According to TMZ and other sources, Judge Marsha Revel has ordered Lohan to enter a satellite compound in Costa Mesa – an extension of the Morningside rehab facilitation centered in Newport Beach, CA after jail.
Although a huge paparazzi affair, Lohan’s stint in jail may prove to be the dose of reality that she needs to turn her life around. Lohan hoped to get some time off between jail and rehab in order to spend time with family, but Judge Revel has ordered that Lohan only have one day to check into rehab after leaving Lynwood. Although there are rumors abound that Lohan has been given special treatment while in jail, her sentencing and seemingly concrete recovery regimen makes it appear as if Lohan will not get off the hook so easily this time around. Hopefully the sun and sand with rehab by the beach will not overplay Lohan’s need for strict treatment and recovery. It’s time for the star of Mean Girls to get her head back on her shoulders and come back to Hollywood a healthier and more motivated celebrity.
