Rehab “Too Hard” for Brooke Mueller

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Television, Drugs, Rumors,

Brooke MuellerBrooke Mueller quit rehab because it was "too hard."

The former wife of Charlie Sheen checked in to the Betty Ford Clinic in California last month for her 21st rehab stint but left the facility recently because she was unhappy at being asked to do chores. "Brooke didn't tell anyone, including her lawyer, that she had left Betty Ford. Brooke hated Betty Ford because she was required to do daily chores, which she resented. She complained that Betty Ford was just too hard. Betty Ford is hardcore and Brooke just doesn't respond well in situations where she can't call the shots," a source said.

However, 35-year-old Brooke's decision to leave rehab could ruin her chances at regaining custody of her four-year-old twin sons Bob and Max, who are currently being looked after by Charlie's other ex-wife Denise Richards. "This could have a serious impact on Brooke's bid to get custody of the twins. Brooke just doesn't seem to be taking get sober that seriously. Her doctors at Betty Ford advised her not to leave, but she did anyway. Her therapists will be submitting an extensive report about Brooke's time at Betty Ford and it won't be glowing, that is for sure," the insider added.

Lindsay LohanLindsay Lohan is avoiding Brooke Mueller in rehab.

While the 26-year-old actress and Charlie Sheen's former wife are both currently being treated at the Betty Ford Clinic, Lindsay is shunning Brooke, 35, because she thinks she is a "drug addict."

"It's creeping Lindsay out that Brooke seeks her out nightly at the meetings in an attempt to strike up a friendship. Brooke is extremely eager to become besties with Lindsay while in rehab, and has told Lindsay how much they have in common. Brooke's publicist was Lohan's one-time rep, Steve Honig and Brooke has even played the Charlie Sheen card, pointing out that Charlie helped Lindsay pay off debts to the IRS, so they both have a close relationship to him. But Lindsay has said that Brooke is a drug addict, and wants nothing to do with her. Lindsay has told her treatment team to keep Brooke out of her group sessions," a source said.

Lindsay Lohan Settles Battery Lawsuit

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Legal Issues,

Lindsay LohanLindsay Lohan has settled a dispute with a Betty Ford worker according to reports.

The actress - who was accused of being violent with a member of staff at the rehabilitation clinic in 2010 - is said to have paid off the worker. At the time, Lohan said she was provoked by the alleged victim, Dawn Holland, and may have injured her in self-defense. The woman sued the 25-year-old star following the occurrence where she was apparently opposed to taking a breathalyzer test.

According to the prosecutor, the defendant appeared intoxicated at the time and Holland says she grabbed her right wrist, "twisting and pulling it for eight to 10 seconds." According to TMZ, the case was closed for an undisclosed amount.

Last week it emerged that Lohan has escaped any criminal charges for her alleged hit-and-run in March.

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Movies, Rumors,

Lindsay LohanDawn Holland, a chemical dependency technician at the Betty Ford Clinic, has accused one of the patients of assault. Because the accused is Lindsay Lohan, TMZ has been digging to find every piece of information they can.

Currently, Holland is claiming that she’s badly hurt, that Lindsay had been drinking when they had the altercation and she’s been forced to file for workers’ compensation as a result.

Holland has since been let go from her position at the clinic for speaking to TMZ.

The alleged assault occurred on December 12 around 1:00 in the morning, when Linds and two roommates arrived at the facility -- after curfew -- following an evening out.

When security caught them trying to jump a wall on the property, Holland was summoned to do a breath test on the three women. She says Lohan refused to take the test and shoved Holland. Moments later, during a 911 call, Holland says Lindsay forcibly took the phone from her hand to cause a severe sprain.

Holland has filed a police report.

Lindsay Lohan Wants Probation Shortened

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Child Stars, Drugs, Drunk, Legal Issues, Rumors,

Lindsay LohanAs if it’s surprising: is trying to shorten the terms of her probation.

The troubled star’s legal team want the length of the court-ordered terms - which are presently scheduled to run until August 2011 - lessened, as they fear she will “get in trouble” before the period ends. Lindsay is presently in the Betty Ford rehab center in Los Angeles, following two spells in prison this summer; serving 13 days of a 90-day jail term in July before briefly being returned in September after failing drug tests, although she was released hours later on $300,000 bail.

“The longer Lindsay stays on probation, the increased chances that she will get in trouble because of problems staying compliant with the terms of her probation. The only person that can modify terms of Lindsay’s probation, or terminate it early, is Judge Elden Fox.”

Lindsay could again face a return to prison, as she is due in court on October 22 for a probation hearing, after her failed drug tests, which could see her incarcerated again for violating the terms of her probation for a 2007 driving under the influence (DUI) conviction. Friends of the star have said she isn’t worried by this prospect, however, and is prepared to return to jail. “The fact is jail doesn’t scare Lindsay. Before she did her time earlier this summer, she was petrified. Having spent time behind bars, it doesn’t have that effect on her. Jail isn’t a deterrent for her, period,” one source said.


Email Addict Lindsay Lohan

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Drugs, Drunk, Rumors,

Lindsay LohanIn addition to the drugs and alcohol, is being treated for an addiction to email.

The Machete actress - who voluntarily entered into a substance abuse program at the Betty Ford Clinic in Los Angeles late last month - has reportedly had her phone usage cut, with staff also urging her to reduce the amount of time she spends on social networking websites.

“Lindsay is only allowed to use her phone for two hours a day, and only to keep in touch with family and close friends. Before, she would repeatedly and compulsively email her friends if she was ever in a situation where she felt lonely, and she would vent on ,” a source said.

The policy has been implemented so Lindsay can “concentrate on herself” during therapy. Lindsay is due in court on October 22 for a probation hearing, after she failed two drugs tests last month.
