Michael Lohan Wants Lindsay in Rehab
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Drugs, Drunk, Legal Issues,
The celebrity with a family that cares: Lindsay Lohan‘s father has begged a judge to order her to rehab.
Michael Lohan - who has repeatedly claimed the actress is addicted to prescription drugs - had his lawyer Lisa Bloom write a letter to the official presiding over her driving over the influence (DUI) probation case asking for more steps to be taken to intervene in his daughter’s life. The note read: “It is clear to Michael that the current court-ordered condition of her probation - namely, that she is required only to attend alcohol education classes - is insufficient.”
The letter goes on to ask that the judge “order Lindsay into an inpatient residential drug and alcohol treatment program.” In the document, obtained by TMZ, it is suggested the Mean Girls star could receive treatment at New York facility Cold Spring Hills, adding, “Her family could easily attend family therapy with her as needed.”
Michael acknowledges the 23-year-old star may not be sent to rehab, so has also suggested an alternative intervention plan. The letter explains, “Michael respectfully requests the Court order Lindsay to be subject to frequent, random, court ordered drug testing; that Lindsay be subjected to random searches of her home and person by law enforcement; and that Lindsay’s probation be extended for an additional term of years to continue her period of court supervision.”

Is Lindsay Lohan Going to Jail?
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: D-List, Movies, Music, Child Stars, Drunk, Legal Issues, Rumors,
TMZ seems to think so. The gossip site has learned that Lindsay Lohan could be in serious trouble with the law for not following the terms of her court-mandated alcohol education classes. It’s a violation of her probation, and there’s good reason to think she’ll end up doing hard time as a result.
Judge Marsha Revel ruled that LiLo must attend alcohol classes at least once every seven days, unless Lohan received treatment through inpatient rehab. The judge ruled that if Lindsay violated this agreement, Lohan would be going to jail. Well…she’s violated it.
Lindsay Lohan will face the music on May 20, a progress hearing where it will be revealed that Lohan frequently waited up to 21 days to attend her court-mandated courses. If the judge holds firms to her former ruling, Miss Lohan will find herself behind bars before the day is out.

-Congratulations to Hilary Duff on her engagement to hockey player Mike Comrie. Could the timing have anything to do with Nicole Richie’s engagement to ex Joel Madden?
-Speaking of wedding news, Brothers & Sisters’ Dave Annable recently popped the question to Odette Yustman (October Road). I guess this means he won’t be getting back together with co-star Emily VanCamp anytime soon.
-More bad news for the family of Captain Phil Harris. Jake, a son of the recently deceased Deadliest Catch star, was arrested Thursday night for suspicion of DUI and hit-and-run.
-Family Ties’ Brian Bonsall also found himself in trouble with the law this week. The troubled former child star was arrested this time for possession of marijuana - a violation of his release on an assault case.
Lindsay Lohan Needs Alcohol Education
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Drunk, Legal Issues,
Lindsay Lohan has been ordered to attend regular alcohol education classes. The Mean Girls actress has been on probation for driving under the influence.
“I am going to order that this has to be done. It’s been long enough,” Superior Court Judge Marsha Revel said. “This has to be a top priority whether she has a job somewhere else or doesn’t or something else comes up. This has to be done once a week. Right now, the other things will take second place and this will take first place.”
Lindsay has until July 15, 2010 to complete six months of program time.
In October, Lohan was ordered to a Beverly Hills court amid rumors she was not complying with the court-ordered alcohol education lessons. TMZ claimed sources running the course contacted the court about Lindsay’s conduct and that she has been “outright violating the terms of the program.”

Heather Locklear Arrested for DUI
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Television, Drunk, Legal Issues, Photos, Mug Shots,
UPDATE: Thanks to a plea deal, Heather has been given three years probation.
Three months after seeking treatment for anxiety and depression, actress Heather Locklear was arrested for a DUI. The 47-year-old was detained by the California Highway Patrol on Friday after a witness called 911.
Locklear, who was originally spotted driving erratically in a parking lot, was later seen parked on the side of the highway. According to the police report, “The citizen became concerned when Ms. Locklear exited her vehicle and stumbled into the traffic lane.”
This incident happened almost exactly 6 months after Heather’s ex-husband, Richie Sambora, was pulled over for drunk driving.
Although alcohol was not a factor in Locklear’s case, it’s believed the disoriented star had been under the influence of prescription medication at the time. Heather was later booked at the Santa Barbara CHP office where she eventually posted $5000 bail.

Transformers Director Rushes to Shia LaBeouf’s Defense
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Movies, Television, Drunk, Legal Issues, Parties,
As we reported earlier, Transformers 2 star Shia LaBeouf may not be at fault for the accident he found himself in early Sunday morning, but he is still facing DUI charges.
Seeing as the powers that be apparently don’t want to see Shia turn out like his fellow Disney stars (i.e. Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears), it appears as if his blockbuster-making pal, Michael Bay, has come to his rescue!
The Transformers director adamantly insists that his beloved actor was not intoxicated that night:
“He was not drunk. He was drinking hours and hours before… We had a little heart to heart the week before when he bought a brand new motorcycle. I [said], ‘Dude! You cannot ride that motorcycle! If you crash, you put 1,500 people out of work.’ He said, ‘Ok, I won’t ride it, I won’t ride it. I’ll just drive my truck’.”

LaBeouf Reportedly Not to Blame for Crash
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Drunk, Legal Issues, Breaking News,
After escaping charges for being drunk at a Chicago Walgreen’s and for puffing away where he wasn’t supposed to, it’s now looking Shia LaBeouf could luck out again.
According to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, it appears the actor was not at fault for Sunday’s accident at all. Spokesman Steve Whitmore says the driver of the other vehicle actually ran a red light and caused Shia’s vehicle to flip. (You can see video of his overturned car here.)
But this isn’t to say the 22-year-old will get away without at least a slap on his injured wrist. Although he may not have been the cause of the crash, that doesn’t mean he wasn’t driving drunk. Officers report that he exhibited “obvious signs of intoxication” at the scene.
LaBeouf - who has not yet been arraigned on any DUI charges - is expected to return to the set of Transformers 2 within a month.
