Lindsay Lohan already out of rehab, despite claims to the contrary (update)

Lindsay Lohan was scheduled to leave rehab today. I don’t know if that’s still going to happen. I mean… the “court-ordered” part of her rehab is over today (I think) but Lindsay can choose to stay in the Malibu facility longer, or she can choose to ease herself back into society via a “sober house”. Which is what she told TMZ she was going to do. Allegedly. I guess Lindsay has phone privileges in rehab, because she’s been leaking a lot of stuff to TMZ lately:

Lindsay Lohan is officially free to leave rehab Wednesday … but she’s decided on her own to stay longer … TMZ has learned.

Sources connected with LiLo tell TMZ … Lindsay has told them she will stay another 3 – 4 days because she feels she needs a transition period before re-entering the free world. We’re told she’d like to stay in a “lower level, sober living house” which she believes will help her recovery.

It sounds like B.S. for sure, given Lindsay’s many failed, insincere attempts in the past. But several people connected with Lindsay — whom we trust — say they’re “shocked” at her conduct this time around. One source said, “It’s like invasion of the body snatchers. She’s a different person.”

Lindsay is still moving to NYC when she leaves rehab, and we’re told she’s scared about the temptations she’ll face, but claims she really wants to conquer her demons this time around.

Even the skeptics in her life think she’s serious this time.

[From TMZ]

If it walks like a crackhead, talks like a crackhead and pushes an all-too-familiar “this time I’m clean, for real!” crack narrative, you can be sure that we’re still talking about a crackhead. I’m honestly not trying to wish Lindsay any harm or anything, it’s just been YEARS of this crack drama and at this point, she’s the crackhead who cried sobriety. I’ll believe that she’s really changed if she can go one full month out of rehab without A) falling out of a club, drunk off her ass, B) getting arrested or C) hitting a baby in her car.

Oh, and Lindsay also leaked another story to TMZ about how Lindsya made a list of all of her “toxic friends and influences” and she’s determined to give them all the ax. Of course. Again, I’ll believe it when I see it.

Last Lohan story – apparently, Ben Affleck is considering Lindsay for a part in his new film, Live By Night…? This according to Roger Friedman:

Lindsay Lohan is getting out of rehab on Saturday, kids. It’s been 90 days, she’s fresh as a daisy, and determined to turn over a new leaf. One thing is for sure: we know she can act. Paul Schrader’s “The Canyons” screened here last night in New York and Lindsay got kudos (in absentia) from everyone. Indeed, as Schrader said, she’s grown out of the ingenue stage and into a new chapter as a tough cookie, a broad. Think Annette Bening in “The Grifters.”

And so: it does seem as though Lindsay is going to be in Ben Affleck’s next directing project. Ben is putting together “Live by Night,” based on the novel by Dennis Lehane. Lindsay is thisclose to signing on– possibly as Emma, the tough waitress with a heart of gold who gets involved with the two male leads. “Live By Night” is a crime noir period piece, and Lindsay would be perfect for it.

In the meantime, Lindsay has agreed to be followed around by Oprah’s documentary crew for the first 45 days of her return home to New York. She’s going to be living “The Truman Show.” What better way to keep her on the straight and narrow?

[From Showbiz 411]

My instinct is telling me that some producer somewhere agreed to let Lindsay audition or read for a part in Live By Night and somehow Lindsay crack-distorted that into “I have the part! Time to promote this and scare away any legitimate actresses who might want to take it from me!! HISS!!” Is Ben Affleck really stupid enough to cast Lindsay in one of his films? I don’t know. I doubt he’s that stupid. But he almost starred in a movie opposite Kristen Stewart JUST after she banged a married director, so who knows.

UPDATE: Yeah, so I don’t even know why Lindsay even bothered to leak all of that bulls–t to TMZ in the first place. She’s out of rehab and TMZ says she’ll be staying in LA with a “sober coach”. DRINKS ARE ON THE HOUSE!

    Maybe he’s all about second chances after he got his second chance.

  2. brin says:

    You’ll probably have six more updates by the end of the day with Crackie on the loose.

  3. Hautie says:

    I thought she checked out yesterday? Wasn’t there pictures of it… Ummmm. Gonna have to go look again.

    (eta: Daily Mail has pictures caption as her leaving rehab but with the Mail.. who knows)

    And the thought of Affleck hiring her. Hahahahahahaa

    Yea… that’s not gonna happen.

    Not with his fresh smelling Oscar on his shelf. Would he taint his newly found respect, by hiring the ultimate freckled up nightmare? No.

    But nice try Lohan. Better luck next time.

    • Faye says:

      ITA. That Ben Affleck rumor is something put out by her delusional people. With his Oscar and his extremely photogenic family-man image, he’s not going within spitting distance of Lohan.

    • PortlandJan says:

      If Ben Affleck DOES contemplate hiring her, I hope his wife, friends and colleagues stage an intervention to cure him of his folly.
      Seriously, does she think Affleck is illiterate and hasn’t heard about her exploits on the sets of “Liz and Dick”, “Canyons” and her stint on Charlie Sheen’s show? The crackie is, as usual, delusional.

    • Meaghan says:

      Did you see what she was wearing in the pictures!? She dressed even WORSE when she’s not on drugd!! Scary. Pass that bitch a crack pipe. Stat.

  4. SmokeyBlues says:

    I’m hoping for the best because through it all I hope to see her happy. I know, I’m delusional.
    The #1 person on that list of people she needs to cut out if her life is Dina. The #2 person is her dad. It’s sad but true.

    • Claudia says:

      Absolutely. I don’t think she’ll ever get better unless she cuts her parents out of her life. They are pimps.

    • Kcaia says:

      Exactly. She is a hard core addict and has done some wrong but she is still a human being and seems to have a good heart despite her issues. I’ve never heard her accused of any cruelty. I really hate when ppl call her “crackie” or “cracken”. We supposedly understand addiction to be a disease, but it would be absolutely unacceptable to make fun of and give a moniker to someone based on the symptoms of their disease, if it were anything but addiction. I’m rootingfor Lindsay and truly believe she can overcome her demons.

      • Hakura says:

        @Kcaia – Although I think the nicknames used *here* are almost always intended to be harmless/comical, I do understand your point. Calling a cancer patient ‘Baldie’ or any such thing would be beyond unacceptable.

        I think the nicknames came of some of the wrongs she’s committed aside from her addiction, followed by attempts to completely avoid taking any responsibility for her actions (like the theft & driving violations).

        I know what it feels like to be an addict. Unfortunately, I currently am one, for a prescription medication I’ve been on many years, & it IS hell. But even at my worst, I still knew right from wrong, & was able to admit when I’d f*cked up, accept responsibility, ect.

      • Lady D says:

        A good heart? She is sadistic, violent, a coward who attacks behind a crowd of protectors, she sucker punches people, she runs them over, she’s a proven racist, a stalker, and if she can’t use you she will have nothing but contempt for you as she throws her drinks at you. She bitched that work at the Downtown Women’s Centre was unfulfilling. She’s a thief who thinks you should feel flattered she stole from you. Where is this good heart of which you speak?

      • TheyPromisedMeBeer says:

        She only has a good heart because she stole it from someone else.

      • Kcaia says:

        Hakura, here is not so bad, bc most of the people seem intelligent and caring, but I can’t even read the comments on sites like Radar anymore bc they’re so hateful and vicious. I too had problems with prescription pills after dislocating discs in my back, and even though I realized my addiction fairly quick and got help, I know many who have suffered through much harder addictions. As far as her having a good heart, after listening to that call to her dad, I started seeing her as a hurt, damaged lost girl.

    • Hakura says:

      @SmokeyBlues – We think so much alike xD I always find myself agreeing w/you in every story.

      But it’s true. Having her parents in her life is JUST as bad as having Sam Lutfi as a best friend. I could easily see either of them putting meds in her food & drink, to make her easier to manipulate.

  5. Emma says:

    Come on Lindsay! You can do it!

  6. Lucy2 says:

    $10 says the sober coach’s name is spelled D-I-N-A.
    Affleck is at the top of his game. The only people who hire her are those desperate for publicity. Not a chance.
    I doubt she’s changed at all, but us just good at manipulating people to think she has.

  7. Sandy says:

    Psychopath.

  8. Claudia says:

    Eh, I’m rooting for her. I hope she can truly kick her addiction issues.

    • itstrue says:

      I am with you, I think of her with a bit of sadness…I would love to see her looking healthy and beautiful. Get better Lindsay.

    • lucy2 says:

      I root for anyone to kick their addiction.
      Buy beyond that, I can’t root for her specifically – too much entitlement, lying, stealing, endangering others, terrible work ethic, lack of respect and responsibility, etc. I know some of it is tied to or enhanced by the addictions, but most of it is just her being awful.

  9. Laura says:

    Is it weird that I’m holding out hope for her? I hope that some how, she stays clean, and that somehow she actually gets a part in a Ben Affleck movie and continues to get small roles in which she shows that she actually has talent. I also hope her parents get hit by a bus…I kid I meant an asteroid.

    • Claudia says:

      I don’t think it’s weird at all, I feel the same. It’s not wrong to hope that someone will be able to turn their life around for the better, and grow as a person. Most addicts make several attempts at sobriety with many relapses before finally getting better. RDJ was a really hot mess back in the day and look at where he is today. I just hope this one takes.

      • Hautie says:

        “RDJ was a really hot mess back in the day and look at where he is today…”
        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

        I suspect the only reason RDJ ever got cleaned. Was that time he spent locked up in PRISON. Not county lockup. But prison.

        I suspect he had a “ah-ha” moment then. Made the adult decision not to return to prison. So he got clean.

        The problem with Lohan, is she has yet to have her “ah-ha” moment of clarity.

      • Kcaia says:

        Hautie, everyone is different. My best friend was all types of messed up on crack several years ago for about five years after her fathers death, and after years of us trying to get her help and her refusing, she just kind of weened herself off. She went from an everyday smoker to weekly, than monthly, binges, than stopped. She never went to jail, rehab or 12 step meetings but has been clean now for 6 years, if you can call it that bc she does occasionally smoke weed. Some of the ppl she used to get high with have also quit, some on their own, and some still get high. Everyone’s rock bottom, will power and mind frame is different, and I think all those things help lead to sobriety. Its not always jail, rehab or death, although for Lindsay its already two of those…

      • Penguin says:

        RDJ had talent though. Pre jail he already had a Oscar nomination for Chaplin. This trick is not talented she did ok in a couple of roles playing a teenage girl when at the time, she was a teenage girl. Not much of a stretch for her. She never has been or never will be in the same caliber as RDJ.

    • Dee says:

      I want her to get better. But affleck movie is a bit over the top dont you think, affleck is this years oscar winner for best movie and director, there is gonna be a host of a list talent up for parts in his movies.. I am all for second or third chances but people have to work for it. Drew Barrymore and RDJ slummed it out in tv and indies before they hit big time again. Lindsay needs to show that she has changed and show that she can keep her head down and work, then people will give her chance. This kind of turn around isnt done over night, i am also quite sceptical of her throwing herself straight back into the spotlight, i believe it would benefit her sobriety to take some time off from the spotlight.

  10. Gabriella says:

    Should we make a poll on how long it will last?

  11. dcypher1 says:

    I think she’s just going thru the motions just to get this rehab over with. I don’t think she’s changed at all and is acting like she wants to stay sober. It’s still same old Lindsay. In a month we will be seeing her drunk at the club. Who want to start placing bets.

  12. smee says:

    Jeeezuz – rehab and sobriety are hard enough without people actively hoping you fail. Enough.

    • Chicken'sMomma says:

      Thank You +1

      Crackhead stuff isn’t funny anymore. (Never really was…)

      • pamspam says:

        I agree. I used to take just a little bit of delight in her antics, but now…no. Now I just want her to get better because the alternative is tragic.

  13. Gee says:

    Any role she wants will safely land in the hands of jlaw, Amanda seyfried, Emma stone, Blake lively, etc. there are so many great, talented choices who haven’t f-d up their faces and eliminated insurability. Also, everyone who sites her talent needs to reference her snl episode.

  14. truthful says:

    oh GAWD!!!

    here we go! I’d love to be a fly on the wall during her taping for Oprah’s channel… her reality show.

  15. choppersann 13 says:

    I really hope she can pull it together…I think she needs more time away getting roles right now is too much pressure… and good for her getting a sober coach!

  16. JL says:

    Let’s get this party started…..

    Wishing her the best, but I know the odds like all the rest of us here.

    How long before clubbing with the infamous water bottle? That will be the 1st sign.

  17. Dani says:

    I fear lindsay is just the same.
    Today Radar has a new story about her not cutting off her notorious party pal/faux assistant of the last few years Gavin Doyle.
    http://radaronline.com/exclusives/2013/07/lindsay-lohan-stays-friends-with-party-pal/

    So from what one can gather she is making a noise about cutting off a person who has already willingly left her life years ago and wants nothing to do with her ( Sam Ronson) but she keeps her main party pal ,Gavin,from the last few years in her life.. ….

  18. dcypher1 says:

    I would love it if Lindsay got sober but I’m realistic Lindsay is just acting I’ve meet real addicts who’ve been to rehab and they show some genuine remorse and humility and say sorry for the things they did. Until Lindsay does all those things then I will believe she’s sober. But signing up for a reality show instead of sober living says the crackie still a crackie to me.

    • Lucinda says:

      This. Lindsay went to rehab because she had to. Not because she wanted to or felt she needed. Not because she saw her life was a trainwreck. There was/is no remorse. Even the stories that are leaking (like cutting out Ronson who hasn’t been in her life for years) match the pattern of the past several years. I don’t wish her ill but I do fear she will hurt someone seriously before this is all done. I hope she sobers up before that happens but that time is clearly not now.

  19. bettyrose says:

    Except for the gawd-awful fringe jacket, I actually kinda like the outfit.

  20. Hakura says:

    There’s always the possibility that Ben allowed rumors about Lilo being in his next project to spread, (or even let she & her people think she was getting the role) even if he never had *any real* intention of hiring her.

    You have to admit, it’s drawn public interest to the project, w/o his having to do anything but keep his mouth shut.

    I do want her to recover, but she’s going to need strong support to combat all the bad influences. What she *really* needs to do is take some *real* time away from whats left of her career, there’s just way too much temptation.

  21. Jag says:

    That sobriety coach needs to keep a CLOSE eye on her. If she tries to take and drink what she was just before going into rehab, she could end up in the hospital or worse.

  22. Isan says:

    Well, I wish her the best, but I have to admit I was kind of enjoying the hiatus from her.

  23. Lauren says:

    Is the Canyons the dysfunctional filming, replete with outlandish and unprofessional behavior by Lohan, documented in NYTimes magazine? If so, I’m surprised her performance is getting kudos – it sounded like a disaster.

  24. Daahling says:

    She is like a living and breathing form of Neely from Valley of the Dolls (book version, ya’ll).

  25. Carolyn says:

    Who? Oh Lindsay Lohan. Enjoyed not hearing about her for so long and had forgotten about her.
