Lindsay Lohan Misdiagnosed, Demanding Apology From Courts
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Drugs, Drunk, Legal Issues, Rants, Rumors,
Despite being on rehab lock-down, Lindsay Lohan is making quite the fuss, reportedly wanting an apology from the Californian courts.
The actress is said to be “fuming” after medical assessments at the UCLA Medical Center - where she is currently undergoing a 90-day stint as part of her sentence for breaching probation - found she may have been misdiagnosed with attention deficit disorder (ADD) and is not suffering from bipolar disorder or addicted to drugs as was previously claimed.
Instead, medics believe it is possible her prescription for Adderall, which treats ADD, led to her erratic behavior, meaning the 24-year-old star feels her sentence was unfair. “Lindsay is fuming - she is really upset that the courts put her through all this,” said a source.
Although the insider says Lindsay’s representatives are “exploring their options,” it is not expected she will be able to gain legal action against the perceived damage to her public image. Criminal Defence Attorney Steve Cron explained to Fox 411’s Pop Tarts, “No judge or prosecutor could be sued under these circumstances, they have absolute immunity. Judge Revel formulated her opinion of Lindsay based on the information she had at the time from another program. The judge could still be dissatisfied with the report from UCLA and seek independent opinions or insist Lindsay be enrolled in other programs.”

Lindsay Lohan Officially in Jail
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Music, Child Stars, Legal Issues, Videos,
UPDATE: L.A. sheriff’s spokesman Steve Whitmore says it’s likely Lohan will only spend 14 days in jail.
You won’t be seeing any more tweets from Lindsay Lohan for at least a little while.
The 24-year-old, who was once again running late for a date in court, arrived at the Beverly Hills courthouse early this morning to be remanded into custody. Lindsay, who was accompanied by on/off attorney Shawn Chapman Holley, had to face Judge Marsha Revel one more time before formally starting her 90-day jail sentence.
Lindsay didn’t speak during the brief court appearance, but nervously watched on, biting her nails.
It was claimed by Holley that Robert Shapiro - who reportedly quit as Lindsay’s lawyer last night - was never officially hired to represent her and only worked as a “consultant.” (Shapiro supposedly joined Lindsay’s legal team earlier in the week after Holley resigned, and then allowed her to stay in the Pickford Lofts sober living house he founded.)

I know one shouldn’t focus on alliterative titles at a time like this, but…
Less than 24 hours before she is supposed to enter jail, Lindsay Lohan has a new problem: she doesn’t have someone to escort her to the courthouse Tuesday morning.
The last time the troubled actress appeared before Judge Marsha Revel, Shawn Chapman Holley was the lawyer fighting on Lindsay’s behalf. Unfortunately, Shawn (understandably) parted ways with Lohan after the sentencing.
Although Robert Shapiro - one of O.J. Simpson’s former attorneys - had been hired to handle Lilo’s appeal, he informed the judge late today that he is no longer representing his client. It’s not known why Shapiro made the last-minute decision, though it’s believed Lohan may not have fully cooperated with his requirements.
