Lindsay Lohan is supposed to be in court ordered rehab as an alternative to additional jail time. She did go to the Betty Ford center, but is now in a nearby “sober house” instead of rehab proper. That sounds acceptable and like she’s working the program, only Lohan has been seen out and about several times in the last few days. She was photographed on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of last week, and it turns out that she spend Saturday at her condo with her assistant and without any kind of sober minder from rehab. This must have been part of the “work pass” she was clamoring for. How is it a “work pass” if she spends the entire day at home getting “supplies”? What’s more is that Lohan shot a photoshoot for an ad campaign the next day.
Lindsay Lohan was back at her West Hollywood condo Saturday, but no worries…her rehab days aren’t over just yet.
The 24-year-old Mean Girls star received a day pass from the Betty Ford Center for good behavior, which allowed her spend a day away from the rehabbing compound.
Lohan was whisked away from her Betty Ford-supervised home in Rancho Mirage Saturday morning around 8:20 a.m. by her dedicated assistant known only by the name of Eleanor. Lohan, wearing black leggings, a blue flanel top and black boots, arrived at her condo around 10 a.m.
While Lohan wasn’t accompanied by a Betty Ford counselor or sober partner, her father, Michael, later arrived at her building. A source close to the family said Lindsay had asked Michael to bring her dinner, which he did.
Lindsay collected some necessities from her place and returned to her treatment facility around 11 p.m. But her weekend getaway isn’t over just yet. On Sunday she is reportedly planning to do a photo shoot for a clothing line at a site near Rancho Mirage. – E! Online
Lindsay Lohan returned to the Betty Ford Center at about midnight Saturday night, RadarOnline.com has confirmed, but Sunday is no day of rest for the rehabbing starlet.
Linds is shooting an ad campaign for the Russian fashion line Kira Plastinina at a location near Betty Ford in Rancho Mirage, CA.
As RadarOnline.com reported, Lindsay and her assistant Eleonore arrived at her West Hollywood apartment at midday Saturday after having been given a “day pass” from Betty Ford to attend to some business needs.
Lindsay is, we’ve been told, strictly following all the rules the court and her counselors at Betty Ford have imposed on her.
She’s said to be taking her counseling “seriously,” although sources tell us her attorneys may try to convince the court to allow her to end her rehab earlier then her currently-scheduled January 3 discharge. – Radar Online

So this girl had the choice of going to jail or rehab and she went to rehab for a while and is now predictably working the system to get as many privileges as possible. I hope that the judge sees what’s going on and either puts a stop to it or puts her scrawny ass in jail. This is how she got jail time in the first place – she couldn’t bother to show up to alcohol education classes. How many chances can she piss away before there aren’t any options left? Is she even getting drug tests now?

Look, the question is whether any of these people she is with now are the same people she has been around since 17 or 18 years old. If the answer is yes, then she is doing drugs now or she will be doing them soon. I have never heard of anyone who goes back to the dysfunction and stays clean.
Also, who is the guy with her father making the weird faces?
She isn’t working the program, she is working the system. She used Betty Ford rehab, as a means to stay out of jail.
If she was in jail (where I believe she should be)they wouldn’t allow her to leave for photo-ops!! Or for the holidays!!
I think the first tip off is the way she poses in front of the paparazzi. She’s soaking all of the attention up, still addicted to the attention and the paparazzi validating her existence. It’s almost as if nothing has changed, shouldn’t she at least pretend to be annoyed by them the first couple of months?
I love that guy. That’s the douchiest face I’ve ever seen! And he’s standing next to Michael Lohan, who normally wins that contest hands-down.
her drug use is always evident by how much she weighs at the time– i think the more f’d up she is, the skinnier she is because she’s snorting breakfast, lunch and dinner. from the recent pics, i would say that she is off the bad shit and has been for a little while; she seems to be a little bit heavier than she was before, which is great because she looks healthy and not like a cracked out junkie. now how long that will last, i have no idea. but i would say for the moment, the rehab has successfully gotten her off drugs; no evidence yet that it has taught her at all how to control her addiction(s).
Rehab isn’t jail and I read somewhere else that they gradually reintroduce the people to their normal lives at the Betty Ford program. That makes sense. Besides, rehab does NOT work unless the person wants to get better. They can lock her away until January or doomsday if they want, but it won’t make a bit of difference. In fact, drugs are readily available in jail, especially to someone rich and famous.
Wasn’t the point of rehab for her to be away from her family? I think I remember several people saying they wanted her there specifically for that reason. This b*tch has endangered peoples lives. She doesn’t deserve a good Christmas!
I find it (pathetically, I might add) interesting that she’s hanging out with her father and not Dina. Hopefully this time she’ll be able to beat this-but I agree with the previous poster that if she hangs out with the same old people-no way.
Happymom, I don’t know much about Mr. Lohan but wasn’t he the one that taped their phone conversation and sold it?
lol Michael Lohan has 2 cellphones and 2 cellphone holsters clipped to his pants.
@Kaiser
What exactly is going on ?
The Judge said she was completing the program and she is.
The only thing in question is if she leaves before Jan 3rd.
She ALWAYS does well in rehab because the more progress you make, the more freedom you get and the quicker you are released.
No one can deny that Lindsay is a great actress.
It is interesting that she is hanging out with her father and not her mother- my opinion is that both of her parents are equally damaging, just in different ways.
I will say that Michael has always acknowledged that she has serious drug problems, not that it makes him a better parent than Dina, just that he at least has acknowledged this particular problem- in addition Dina has been taking 15% of Lindsay’s money since the beginning, and I believe Michael hasn’t received $$ from Lindsay for years.
He’s a crap father and a horrible human being, but when you consider where she is and what her issues are, it makes sense that she would choose Michael over Dina right now.
OMG, the guy with the bulldogs!!! Too much for a Monday morning!!! The lady is like “Yeah, I’m not even letting my dog sniff around your pooches, Massengil!”
I think she’s doing well, you can tell she isn’t using because she;s put some weight on and if she’s repairing her relationship with her dad that’s good because i think he really does love her but he goes about things in a fucked up way. As long as he doesn’t go running to the press this is better for her than going back to Dina.
So she went to her house and did a photo shoot it’s not like she was at a bar or club…
I just feel that you WANT her to fail and that nothing she does is ever good enough for you.
I think the reason she gets all these priveleges, besides the fact she’s rich and famous, is that she was never truly addicted to anything in the first place. I think she just likes to party, and when there’s no one to stop her she’ll do it all the time. I know coke is different than alcohol, but there was a period in my life where I was getting wasted every day. It wasn’t hard for me to stop, I wasn’t addicted, but I just preferred to be out and getting drunk every night. I bet she’s fine not going out and using drugs, but she rather would and probably has more fun when she does.
“No one can deny that Lindsay is a great actress.”
I can. Pretty confidently, too.
hahahaha Lilo is NOT a great actress. Not at all. She isn’t the worse, but I def wouldn’t say she ranks with Meryl, Angelina, Cate Blanchett, Kate Winslet, Laura Linney…ok you get my point. Lilo is average. At best.
When I read this I am overcome by saddness, not for her but for the person she maims or kills while racing through the streets on her next bender. Then who will be to blame? Not Lindsay, because then she will be QUICK to claim her addiction and hide behind it. This whole system sucks.
“No one can deny that Lindsay is a great actress.”
Yes she excels as an actress when it comes to acting like she’s not a druggie and has turned her life around in 2 minutes
Film roles – she’s mediocre at best
@Laura: When someone is being monitored by a SCRAM bracelet and can’t stop herself from doing coke for 3 more weeks, then she is an addict.
Yes, there are casual drug users but I think evidence points to the fact that her drug use is far from casual.
I thnk this girl needs to live at a sober house for at least a year before she is let loose on society.
Ah, our justice system works GREAT doesn’t it? How many chances has this skank had now, like 80?
Seriously. She gets to leave ‘rehab’ for a fucking PHOTO SHOOT??? Where is the court-ordered part of this rehab??
Love the dude with the douche-face. What a poser!!!
any of us would be in jail. it really irritates me to see what she gets away with.
OMG!!! those 2 douchebags…..
These guys wearing wifebeater shirts are gross!!!
bla bla bla. will it ever stop? everyone is sick of hers, sober or not.
so many actresses coming to LA every day. younger, SOBER, willing to work, and without a face that screams “I´ve done daily lines since I was 16”.
She was a good actress, but not standing out except for her freckles and the red hair.
she will never get her feet back on the ground in that business.
I guess she has to earn some money and the photo shoots are an income stream!
I hope she recovers and gets her life back on track.
