Lindsay Lohan escapes injury after major car crash

LOS ANGELES: Actress Lindsay Lohan escaped injury in a major car crash on Friday after her Porsche collided with an dump truck on a Southern California highway.

Police said Lohan was driving her black Porsche with an unidentified male passenger on the Pacific Coast Highway in Santa Monica on her way to the set of her latest movie project, and collided with a dump truck.

The actress and her passenger were taken to the hospital as a precaution, and released shortly after. Neither Lohan or the driver of the truck were under the influence of drugs or alcohol, police said.

"Lindsay was involved in an automobile accident today on her way to the set....She is fine and was released less than two hours later and is already headed back to the set to resume work. Fortunately, no one was seriously injured in the accident," Lohan's publicist, Steve Honig, said in a statement.

Celebrity news website TMZ posted pictures of Lohan's Porsche following the incident, showing a crushed front and smashed windows.

Lohan, 26, is forging ahead with a comeback after a string of legal and personal troubles since 2007, including stints in jail, rehab and court. She was released in March from almost five years of formal probation stemming from a 2007 drunken driving and cocaine possession arrest.

The actress is currently playing late screen legend Elizabeth Taylor for a Lifetime TV movie "Liz & Dick," based on Taylor's love affair with actor Richard Burton. (REUTERS)

Lindsay Lohan's stolen 'Chanel' purse returned minus 10k dollars

Lindsay Lohan has had her purse returned with all the documents and passport but minus 10,000 dollars.

The ‘Mean Girls’ star’s 5000-dollar Chanel purse had been stolen while she was at a Hawaii house party on Sunday night.

The purse contained her passport, probation documents and lots of cash.

According to sources, Lindsay stayed long after police left and drove the entire party into a frenzy for hours looking for the purse but turned up empty until Sunday morning, TMZ reported.

However, one of her friends spotted a suspicious-looking local, and asked if he knew where the bag was.

The local denied everything, but showed up with the bag minutes later, claiming that he found it on the street somewhere.

Lindsay was so ecstatic to have the bag back, that she didn’t even bother asking questions, despite the missing 10,000 dollars.

Lindsay Lohan jailed for 30 days in LA

LOS ANGELES: Troubled US actress Lindsay Lohan was jailed for 30 days on Wednesday after admitting violating her probation terms for a previous offense.

Lindsay Lohan ends home detention after 35 days

LOS ANGELES: Actress Lindsay Lohan was released from home detention on Wednesday after spending 35 days at her Los Angeles apartment for stealing a gold necklace, authorities said.

A private company that handles monitoring equipment for home detention inmates removed the electronic ankle bracelet from the "Mean Girls" star on Wednesday morning, said Steve Whitmore, a spokesman for the Sheriff's Department.

Lohan was sentenced in May to 120 days in jail, but the 24 year-old actress qualified for a shorter period of house arrest under programs for nonviolent offenders and to reduce overcrowding in Los Angeles jails.

Lohan, a former child star, pleaded no contest in May to the theft of a $2,500 gold necklace from a Los Angeles boutique. She had walked out of the store wearing the jewelry.

Her once promising Hollywood career has been derailed because of repeated run-ins with the law and trips to rehabilitation to deal with drug and alcohol problems.

Nevertheless, she is due to start filming a movie about New York crime boss John Gotti later this year with co-stars John Travolta and Al Pacino.

Lindsay Lohan under house arrest

Troubled actress Lindsay Lohan, who showed up three weeks early at Los Angeles' Lynwood Jail, is now under house arrest.

Contactmusic.com reports that she was immediately determined eligible to serve her time at home, so she was fitted with an electronic ankle bracelet Thursday and released.

She is now at her home in Venice, California, but cannot leave until June 29.

"She is now confined to the interior premises of her home at all times," said Steve Whitmore, the Los Angeles Sheriff's spokesman.

The actress was last month ordered to to undertake three years probation, serve 120 days in jail and complete 480 hours of community service for jewelry theft and breaching the terms of her 2007 probation.

Home detention aims to reduce the prison population by allowing non-violent offenders to serve out their sentences in home confinement.

Lohan, who pleaded no contest to stealing a USD 2,500 necklace, had until June 17 to report to the prison but it is thought she wanted to do it sooner rather than later so she can begin shooting her new movie, "Gotti: three Generations".

Lindsay Lohan to sue jewellery store?

Lindsay Lohan is reportedly planning to sue the jewellery store that she allegedly stole a necklace from, after it released surveillance footage of the day in question.

TMZ reports that Kamofie & Company sold the distribution rights to the footage - showing Lohan looking at items in the shop - to the AP, which then arranged a deal with Entertainment Tonight to give exclusive rights to air the recording for seven days.

However, Lohan is said to be exploring her legal options, after claiming that the money made from the tape deal - rumoured to be around $40,000 (£24,750) - amounts to profiting from her image.

A representative for Kamofie & Company told the website: "We regret to hear there is trepidation by Miss Lohan in connection with the video.

"We hope that everyone understands that this is beyond our control; the flood of the requests to see this video were simply too overwhelming. It was truly necessary to put it out."

Lohan is currently facing felony grand theft charges over a necklace which the company claims the actress stole from the showroom. Lohan denies the accusation.

"The reports I was at (nightclub) Teddys are inaccurate... I was just at (hotel) Roosevelt to meet Samantha and say happy birthday to a friend. I take my sobriety seriously. Please don't believe this accusations . I know the rules and I wouldn't risk probation ," she wrote on her Twitter page.

Lindsay denies theft allegations

LOS ANGELES: Hollywood singer and actress, Lindsay Lohan, has denied allegations of stealing a necklace, claiming that the jewelry store let her borrow the necklace, and her stylist simply failed to return it.

The 24-year old singer and actress could be facing years in prison if she is charged and convicted of stealing a $2,500 "one of a kind" necklace from a Venice, California jewelry store.

As of now, the decision has not yet been made to charge Lohan. "The case remains under review," Los Angeles County District Attorney spokeswoman Sandi Gibbons said on Saturday. "When we make a decision, we will let everyone know."

According to police, "Detectives with the Los Angeles Police Department's Pacific area obtained a search warrant on February 1, 2011, for actress Lindsay Lohan's Venice residence, to search for the necklace."

In a statement directed at the media, Lohan's criminal defense attorney, Shawn Chapman Holley, told People, "We vehemently deny these allegations and, if charges are filed, we will fight them in court, not in the press."

LiLo-Paris Hilton to fight in a boxing match

Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton have been offered $500,000 each by Hollywood Boxing Federation promoter to take part in a boxing match.

Federation promoter, Damon Feldman, has singled out Hilton and Lohan as his next two celeb boxing contenders.

Feldman has said he will donate the proceeds to anti-drug and alcohol campaigns and would give them the huge fees for them to give to charity if the reformed party girls - who both have convictions for driving under the influence - agree to step into the ring.

"We're calling it the battle of the bad girls of Hollywood," RadarOnline.com quoted Feldman as saying.

“They would use big pillow-sized boxing gloves. This would be nothing more than a fun match-up, and Paris and Lindsay have both dabbled with boxing training in the past.

"Michael could even help train Lindsay as he is undefeated in Celebrity Boxing!" Feldman added.

Feldman believes the light-hearted match would be the perfect way to strengthen their friendship further for the sake of a good cause.

He told: "This is a perfect way for the two ladies to give back.”

It's probably a man's dream come true!

Lohan moving to 'secret' home after rehab?

Lindsay Lohan will reportedly attempt to remain sober after her latest rehab stint by moving to a secret location.

The Mean Girls favourite, who is due to exit the Betty Ford centre next week, will allegedly leave her old West Hollywood home for a new residence, where she will live under the supervision of her mother Dina and her two teenage siblings.

A supposed friend of the actress told X17: "Lindsay will be staying at a secret location starting January 4, with her family, mother and siblings. She also has the support of me and her other friends.

"As long as she doesn't fail any tests - and everyone is going to make sure she doesn't - she'll be put on summary unsupervised probation on February 25."

Meanwhile, Lindsay's estranged father Michael Lohan backed the star's decision to ditch her "so-called friends and [old] haunts", but issued a plea to his ex-wife not to damage the troubled 24-year-old further by bringing her into their ongoing feud.

"Another important part of Lindsay's release, if she does spend time with Dina, is that Dina does not put Lindsay in between, or include her, in any of our differences. Lindsay needs two parents who will stand by her and become united rather than two parents who oppose each other."

He added: "To any extent, I'm proud of Lindsay, I'm happy for her and I want her to be happy, as well. Family is the most important thing in recovery."

Lindsay Lohan's driving privileges returned

Lindsay Lohan has reportedly won back her driving privileges.

According to TMZ, the Betty Ford Centre elected to return Lohan's driving privileges today, two weeks after her driver's license was restored.

However, the Mean Girls star still has not received full driving privileges. She is only allowed to leave the clinic after requesting a pass.

It was reported last week that Lohan believes she was denied driving privileges previously because paparazzi are constantly chasing her on the road.

Rehab Asks Lindsay Lohan to Stay in the Facility for Thanksgiving

Seems like Thanksgiving won’t be a happy holiday for Lindsay Lohan, what with the announcement of the rehab she is currently admitted in that she won’t get a free pass to spend time with her family. The almost-Inferno star was asked to stay in rehab instead of roasting and eating turkey with her family in Long Island.

According to a source close to the Lohans, Lindsay is not coming home but her mother, Dina, is still trying to work things out to bring her home. Unfortunately, there seems to be no success on the negotiations. Just a couple of weeks ago, the star was awarded some day passes by the Betty Ford-supervised home situated in Rancho Mirage she is staying on due to her good behavior.

She was able to visit her condo in West Hollywood and was even able to make a photo shoot for a new clothing line she will be advertising. To further prove that she is being a good girl, she has even made some efforts to make peace with her father, Michael Lohan, who was reported to have visited her in rehab for a few times already.

Sadly though, her good deeds were not enough to give her a free ticket to Thanksgiving. Looks like there’s no turkey for you this holiday Lindsay.

Is Lindsay Beginning To See Through Dina?

Apparently, Lindsy Lohn is beginning to see through her mom, Dina. According to insiders, she began to question her mother’s intentions after she defied her wishes to not appear on the Today Show. Dina ignored Lindsay’s directives and appeared on the show anyway.

This supposedly got Lindsay thinking about her problems and what role her mom, Dina has played in them. Initially, she blamed her dad for all of her issues but slowly she is beginning to see how destructive her mom’s behavior has been as well.

Instead of directing all of her blame at her down, she now believes that both parents are responsible. Lindsay is also beginning to appreciate her dad’s efforts to re-connect with her.

Well, I think that’s great. While Lindsay will eventually have to take responsibility for her behavior, at least she is finally able to see the truth. Both parents have been a negative influence and Dina a huge enabler and media chaser. Perhaps if she puts both on notice, she will be able to reach a place where she can begin to heal and get clean. Good Luck Lindsay.

Judge issues Michael Lohan arrest warrant

A New York judge has issued a warrant for Michael Lohan's arrest.

TMZ reports that the warrant, issued on Thursday, stems from a legal case with a Montana woman, who claims that Lohan is the father of her child.

Lohan is required to pay child support to Kristi Kauffman, who sued him in 2008 and eventually won an uncontested judgement when he failed to oppose the paternity claim.

Speaking to the website, Lohan insisted that he hadn't been aware of the warrant, but suspected that it had been issued after he was a day late making his second payment.

He also stated that the matter would be resolved once the money had been transferred.

Lindsay moves out of rehab to get ready for court appointment

The actress has left the Betty Ford center in Rancho, California to get ready for her court appointment tomorrow, reports TMZ.com.

The star is due to face the judge tomorrow at 8:30 AM where she could get tossed back in jail.

Earlier, she reportedly confessed to her pals that she needs rehab and not jail to overcome her drug addictions.

Dina Lohan Shopping Rehab Visit With Lindsay

The matriarch of the Lohan clan may be looking to financially benefit off of her daughter’s trouble, again.
Reportedly, she has been shopping a visit of her and her daughter, Lindsay Lohan in drug rehabilitation. She is supposedly looking to get an amount in the high 5-figures.

For that much money she is willing to let the highest bidder video tape the entire visit. If this is true, that is absolutely awful. The willingness to essentially “pimp” ones daughter is incredibly sad.

On the other hand, the family probably doesn’t have any other way to pay their bills. Lindsay hasn’t been working due to her substance abuse problems and hard partying ways. Selling interviews is probably the only way that they can generate income. Rehab is expensive and in this day and age making ends meet is tough as well.

However, even still, this has to have a negative impact on Lindsay and probably contributes to her ongoing problems. It looks like the Lohans need to get a new well-paying gig.

Lindsay Lohan under cocaine dependence treatment

Actress Lindsay Lohan is reportedly being treated for cocaine addiction at the Betty Ford Clinic in Los Angeles. She is undergoing a rehab treatment programme as she has a dependency for the Class A drug.

"Lindsay's primary problem is cocaine. She went through a thorough assessment, and it was discovered that she has a high dependence for cocaine," femalefirst.co.uk quoted a source as saying.

Earlier, Lindsay had confessed to experimenting with drugs.

"At this point, Lindsay is at a critical point of her detoxification and recovery, and she is doing well," the source added.

Lindsay, 24, has her own treatment team in the facility which is comprised of a personal physician, nurse, psychologist, primary counsellor, case manager, spiritual care counsellor, family counsellor, dietician, fitness trainer and chemical dependency technician.

After failing two drug tests last month, Lindsay is now due in court Oct 22 for a probation hearing.

The actress, who served 13 days of a 90-day jail term behind bars in July, returned to prison following the failed tests, but ended up spending just a matter of hours behind bars after posting $300,000 bail. She then voluntarily checked into the Betty Ford Clinic.

Is Lindsay Thinking About Selling Her Rehab Photos?

Rumor has it that Lindsay Lohan is thinking about selling a few of her rehab pictures for fast cash. Because Lindsay’s problems have made it difficult for her to get work, she is feeling the pressure to generate money the best way that they can.

When Lindsay is able to work, she can command a premium amount of cash but at this point, much less money than she could if she sold her photos. Some believe that for the right types of photos, Lohan can fetch up to $100,000.

Rehab and a celebrity lifestyle are costly to attain, not to mention attorney’s fees (it seems like Lindsay is always in court). If she has to support herself and her family, it’s understandable that the pressure might be getting to her, making selling photos of herself pretty tempting.

For those that have been following Lindsay, rehab photos are nothing new. She was photographed at the Cirque Lodge rehab center. I wouldn’t be surprised if those pictures weren’t by “accident.”

Well, selling pictures of oneself may not be the best way to make money but it certainly seems easy. And she’s not naked so, ‘no harm, no foul.’ There are worst ways to generate cash. She’s not really hurting anyone. I’m pretty neutral on this. If she doesn’t make money from these images, someone else will, so I say go for it!

Lindsay Lohan: Doin Time At Betty Ford… For Now

Lindsay Lohan has finally settled on a rehab center. She has checked into the Betty Ford Center. The center is very well respected and is considered to be one of the best rehb programs in the country. It is located in Rancho Mirage, California. Betty Ford treats individuals that are addicted to both drugs and alcohol.

Lohan has been in the center since Monday. According to those close the situation, you will remain there until she has to go back to court for her hearing regarding her most recent probation violation, the two failed drug tests.

Betty Ford, like all of the other rehab centers Lohan has been to, won’t be cheap. It will cost her at least $26,000 for a 30 day stay.

Lindsay won’t be the first famous person to receive treatment at the Betty Ford Center. The center’s past celebrity roster reads like a who’s who of Hollywood. Past patients include Kelsey Grammer, Keith Urban, Elizabeth Taylor, Ozzy Osbourne and Chevy Chase.
