Plea Deal Rejected! Lindsay Lohan Will Go to Trial
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Movies, Music, Child Stars, Legal Issues, Rumors,
Turns out, Lindsay Lohan didn’t need to wait out the judge’s March 25 deadline -- she’s already made her mind up about the plea deal.
And, it’s a no go. Linds made her wishes known on Wednesday by refusing to take jail time, though she would have served approximately 19 days, in favor of taking the case to trial. Lindsay Lohan is scheduled for a preliminary hearing on April 22. This will determine whether or not she should be charged with felony grand theft for allegedly stealing a necklace totaling $2,500.
The ruling could go badly for Lohan. If it is decided that she should stand trial, she could be immediately found guilty of violating her probation -- which will result in jail time anyway. It’ll be Lindsay’s fourth stint in the pokey.

Lindsay Lohan Receives Not-So-Secret Courtroom Deal
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Movies, Child Stars, Clothing, Legal Issues, Rumors,
The California legal system is painfully learning the lesson that Lindsay Lohan has faced so many times: she can’t do one damned thing the media doesn’t discover. So it should come as no surprise that details from her highly-secretive legal bargain are leaking out of the courtroom.
Superior Court Judge Keith Schwartz has scheduled an April 22 hearing for Lohan’s grand theft case, but before this she may appear in court one final time to accept the offer he made to her on Thursday. Linds has now formally rejected a plea bargain offered to her, in which she’s been asked to plead guilty to felony theft. He’s giving her until March 25 to change her mind.
The plea would give her a possible 3-month jail stay, which is a lot shorter than the 3-year sentence she’s facing if convicted of felony theft. Linds could also face a penalty for probation violation, as she’s not supposed to get into any legal trouble right now (her being fresh from a different court case, and all).
It doesn’t help that the judge wanted none of the details of the plea bargain made public. The judge asked lawyers on both sides to keep the deets hush-hush, but TMZ (and everybody else) got ahold of them anyway.

Lindsay Lohan’s Legal Troubles Piling Up
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Movies, Music, Child Stars, Legal Issues, Paparazzi Photos, Rumors,
Lindsay Lohan dressed conservatively for her court appearance on Tuesday, but even the toned-down look didn’t disguise her from the process server who cornered her in the elevator.
While on her way to discover whether or not she’ll be going to jail for probation violations, Lohan was served with another lawsuit.
According to sources, Lohan directed her staffers to dispose of the process server, but he managed to drop his documents near her low-heeled black pumps before he was escorted off the elevator. California state law says that face-to-face contact must be made when someone is served - even if that someone used to be a huge movie star.
The documents don’t have to be put in Lindsay’s hands to be legally delivered. So, it looks like Linds is getting sued again…and her legal team is already pretty busy.

Someone to Watch Over Britney
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Celebrity Babies, Meltdowns, Breaking News,
It’s no secret that former pop star Britney Spears has had her fair share of troubles recently. She’s in a bitter custody battle with ex-hubby Kevin Federline, she’s been admitted to the hospital and she’s tragic media fodder. The latest reports say Brit will stay in the hospital for at least two weeks more, so now the whole issue has turned down a different path: who’s going to take care of Britney?
Father Jamie Spears was given control over Britney (and her various assets) when she was hospitalized, but all that may change at a Monday hearing. A neutral party, or a different relative, may gain control, according to sources close to the situation. There is also another custody-related hearing scheduled for Monday, the latest in a long string of court appearances which determine which parent will parent Britney’s two children. Unfortunately, it seems right now Spears isn’t capable of taking care of herself.
