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.

VIDEO: Survey Lindsay Lohan Putting on the Stolen Necklace
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Movies, Music, Child Stars, Legal Issues, Videos,
Entertainment Tonight has released a few more moments of the infamous jewelry store surveillance video, where Lindsay Lohan spent a much talked-about 25 minutes of her life. The single shopping stop could send Linds to jail for felony grand theft. And, you can see the crime she committed in the video above.
Four cameras inside Kamofie & Co. captured Lohan from many angles as she shopped for trinkets, one of them a $2,500 necklace that she’s now accused of stealing. TMZ reports that Lohan is planning to sue the jewelry store for profiting from the surveillance tape, and making money for using her image (which she never gave them permission to do).
In the scene above, you'll see Lindsay Lohan putting on the necklace.

What Does the Lindsay Lohan Surveillance Video Prove or Disprove?
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Movies, Child Stars, Legal Issues, Videos, Rumors,
TMZ has talked to some of the people who have reviewed the surveillance footage from Kamofie & Company, the jewelry store from which Lindsay Lohan allegedly lifted a $2500 necklace... and from what we’re hearing, the video shows that Linds didn't exactly pull off the crime of the century.
Reportedly, Lohan talked to the owner of the store before leaving, wearing the necklace almost the entire time she was inside. In the video, Lindsay tries on the necklace, looks at herself in the mirror and speaks to the owner while still wearing it around her neck. She took off the necklace she was already wearing in order to try on the one that could get her sent back to jail.
The necklace remained on her, in plain view, for the next 45 minutes as she continued to try on various pieces of jewelry within the store. She slipped her own necklace back on before leaving, but the store’s necklace was still plainly visible underneath.

Michael Jackson Being Posthumously Sued
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Legal Issues, Rumors,
Erie Bonnie is suing Michael Jackson’s estate for a “herpes cure, acne cures and arthritis cures” which Bonnie allegedly invented.
In addition to the theft allegations, Erie also claims that “someone from the Jackson family came by my house and shot a 22 pistol in the air. They turned around in a neighbor’s driveway and drove away.”
Sounds quite…unbelievable.
At any rate, the King of Pop’s estate is being sued for nine copyrights, and even an idea for an automobile insurance policy.
So, wait a minute…there’s a cure for herpes?

Paris Hilton To Catch a Thief?
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Legal Issues, Editorials,
Paris Hilton has adopted the role of Nancy Drew, saying she has an idea of who might have committed the recently-reported theft in her California home.
“I think whoever did this, definitely has been there before,” Hilton spoke in an interview with E! on the subject. “We have some suspects that I’m thinking of.”
Reportedly, around $2 million in jewels and other items was taken from the heiress. The burglar entered the home wearing gloves and a hoody, walking right in through the front door.
“You know, it’s just an invasion of privacy and it’s happened to me before,” she admitted. “It’s really scary, but they’re doing a huge investigation on this and we’re going to catch this person.”
Don’t bet on it. Most home burglaries go unsolved.
Hilton has “upped” her security following the crime, but she’ll still be able to receive her property - if the thief should decide to give it back. “They just have to anonymously have a taxi drop it off in my front gate in a box with my jewelry and everything - they won’t get in trouble,” she offered. “But if all this goes on for much longer, they’re going to get in more trouble,” Hilton threatened.

Someone Ryders Away with Winona’s Jewels
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: D-List, Movies, Legal Issues, Rumors,
Winona Ryder is being investigated by police after a theft resulted in the loss of jewels worth $125,000. The rocks were Winona’s…kinda.
A diamond-encrusted Bulgari bracelet and ring, on loan to the actress for her use during a Marie Claire magazine party, have mysteriously come up missing in Spain. The actress (who has been almost totally off the radar for the last several years - who the hell decided to give her jewelry?) was convicted in 2001 of shoplifting. This is in no way related to this current jewel threat, but does bear mentioning.
Police involved with the case have not commented. Reps for Ryder have likewise offered no comment - giving the press free reign to speculate wildly. Let the gossip begin.
