Denise Richards has her hands full now that she’s caring for Charlie Sheen’s twin four year-old boys along with her three daughters aged nine, seven and two. She’s a single mom busting her butt, but she does just fine on Charlie’s $55,000 in child support a month. She reportedly turned down his offer for additional money now that she’s guardian to the twins. As for how she does it, Denise recently said that it’s hard work, but that she manages because she wants “to be there for them.” At least someone in that wacked-out extended family is sober and responsible. Here’s what she told US Weekly:

Us Weekly caught up with the star on Saturday, May 18, at Carolle’s Adopt-a-Doll event at the Grove in L.A., where she opened up about her fuller-than-usual house…

You just figure it out because you don’t have a choice. You have these children depending on you,” she explained to Us of how she manages. “You prioritize. I had children because I want to be a parent, and I want to be there for them.”

“I think my biggest challenge is [that] their different activities sometimes overlap,” she added, noting that she tries to attend everything. “I have a good schedule going. You just manage.”

For legal reasons, Richards couldn’t talk specifically about the situation with Mueller and Sheen’s kids — the twins were placed under her care earlier this month, when Mueller checked into rehab for the 20th time — but she could (and did) talk about her relationship with her ex. “My situation with Charlie is that we’ve gotten along for quite some time now, and it’s so much better,” she told Us. “There are a lot of feelings and emotions there, but at the end of the day, our daughters benefit from us getting along, and [I do], too.”

“I don’t want to have an unhealthy relationship with him, something toxic with a lot of animosity. Life’s too short for that,” she continued. “We actually enjoy hanging out, and we enjoy being with the kids.”

Denise knows how to hustle and gets headlines, but she’s been nothing but gracious about Charlie and their situation for years. Plus of course she has help, but I buy that she does most of the parenting on her own, and that she cares deeply about those kids. It takes someone with real heart to open their home to their ex’s kids. She is giving those boys a stable home after they were (presumably) neglected by their drug addict mom, Brooke Mueller, although the good news is that Brooke had nannies. Brooke has been trying to strip temporary custody of her boys away from Denise so that Brooke’s brother can get $55,000 a month in child support. Her second attempt to do so failed last week. Brooke’s lawyer was trying to argue that Denise was only watching the twins for the additional money, but the fact that Denise refused to accept any more money from Charlie blew a hole in that.

Brooke is still at Betty Ford rehab, which she chose because she was hoping to be besties with Lindsay Lohan. That’s not going well, according to a source quoted by Radar, who claims that Lohan goes out of her way to avoid Brooke. “Lindsay has said that Brooke is a drug addict, and wants nothing to do with her. Lindsay has told her treatment team to keep Brooke out of her group sessions.” What a bitch. Not that this 20th stint rehab would have stuck for Brooke, but Lindsay’s rejection has to be hard for her to take.

More details are coming out about Brooke’s addiction, with Radar recently reporting that she overdosed six times in the past two years. Brooke is said to have seen her boys for a few hours yesterday when they visited her in rehab along with a court appointed monitor.

Last weekend we heard that doctors at the Betty Ford Clinic had taken away Lindsay Lohan’s Adderall after a thorough examination. The doctors believed that LL had been misdiagnosed with ADHD and that she would be fine without her Adderall, and they believed she had been abusing it for the side effects for years – Adderall helps people lose weight (or keep weight off). Well, Lindsay’s reaction to this turn of events has been crack drama, of course. She will crack squawk and crack hissy until someone listens. She’s threatening to “leave” Betty Ford because apparently she thinks a court-ordered 90-day rehab sentence is optional. And now comes the worst news ever… she’s gained a few pounds! CRACK DRAMA.

Since Lindsay Lohan‘s Adderall was taken away from her last week by doctors at the Betty Ford Clinic, the troubled actress has gained five pounds and is complaining that she can’t stop eating, RadarOnline.com has learned exclusively.

The 26-year-old starlet has been “extremely emotional this past week and is finding comfort in food. Lindsay can’t stop eating, and has gained five pounds because she has such poor eating habits. She has been exercising, but she just doesn’t have a lot of energy because she is no longer taking Adderall, which is a psychostimulant medication that contains amphetamine. She has been talking to a nutritionist at Betty Ford about eating healthier,” a source close to the situation tells RadarOnline.com exclusively.

As we previously reported, LiLo revealed her Adderall use in a recent interview with Piers Morgan on the Daily Mail saying, “I have severe ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder). I can’t stand still. So I take Adderall (a prescription drug) for that, it calms me. I know people who take it to stay up, or girls who take it to supposedly stay slim because it kills your appetite. But I eat all the time. I just take it to stay calm. It works well for me.”

Board certified addiction specialist Dr. Drew Pinsky has voiced his concerns in the past over to Radar over Adderall use and addiction saying, “I have had lots of experience with Adderall. There seems to be problematic issues related to Adderall, addicts seem to do okay on Adderall short-term, but as time goes on, the drug becomes an issue.”

Making the situation even harder for Lohan, “is the food at Betty Ford is really, really good. Meals are elaborate affairs, featuring lots of delicious desserts. Lindsay just can’t say no to the food. She is complaining that the new medications doctors prescribed, which isn’t amphetamine based, aren’t working. She is just making herself miserable,” the insider revealed.

Lohan was ordered by the courts to remain in a locked-down rehab facility for 90-days as part of a plea deal in her lying-to-cops case involving a car accident in Santa Monica, CA. last summer. She entered Betty Ford earlier this month.

My armchair diagnosis is that Lindsay is eating so much not just because she’s off Adderall, but because she’s off alcohol. Her body is used to consuming unlimited amounts of empty liquor calories and now she’s bingeing on real food, and her body doesn’t know how to handle it. I went through a similar phase when I gave up alcohol a few years ago – I did it for diet reasons, but I found I still craved something sugary in the evening, when I usually had a drink.

Anyway, Superhero Michael Lohan (special superhero power: kicking vaginas) is riding to the rescue! Radar spoke to Michael and he said, “I am going to go to California and I want to meet with Lindsay’s attorney Shawn and the City Attorney to talk about her transferring to the Lukens Institute. It is ridiculous for Lindsay to spend 90 days at Betty Ford. They are a 30-day program place. There is no reason for her to repeat the same program for three months.” Blah. The Betty Ford already said that they were tailoring a 90-day program especially for LL so she wouldn’t just do the same 30-day program 3 times.

On Sunday, we discussed the hilarious news (“hilarious” might be offensive to some of you but I think it’s completely appropriate) that the Betty Ford Clinic had taken away Lindsay Lohan’s Adderall. LL has been on Adderall for years – she claims she has ADHD, although it’s pretty well documented that she just goes doctor-shopping for prescriptions and Adderall is just her base-line addiction, and she piles on gallons of vodka and endless lines of cocaine in addition to Adderall. Well, LL’s Betty Ford stay is looking to be a bit more hardcore this time around, and the Cracken is not pleased about these turn of events at all. The Cracken wants OUT! Because she doesn’t realize that a mandatory 90-day court-ordered rehab sentence is actually not about her particular brand of crack shenanigans.

Lindsay Lohan is determined to leave The Betty Ford Center for greener pastures … but TMZ has learned prosecutors are having none of it.

TMZ broke the story … Betty Ford doctors have cut Lindsay off from her Adderall, which she has always said was a deal breaker. Sources connected to Lindsay tell us she’s going “crazy” and is desperate to move to another facility.

We’re told Lindsay has researched other facilities and found one on the west coast which she believes is suitable to complete her 90 days. She wants to move ASAP.

Lindsay is saying she believes Betty Ford is “old school” and is not sensitive to the problems of young people.

But law enforcement sources tell us … prosecutors are “unbending” — they will NOT approve any move. As one source put it, “She had 45 days to find a suitable place. She didn’t listen to her people and just did what she wanted so it’s her problem now.” The source adds, “Not gonna happen.”

[From TMZ]

Haha. This is just the feel-good story of the week. I’m sure things will change in a few days – Shawn Holley will get on it and suddenly Lindsay will be moved to some shenanigan-friendly Hawaiian rehab or something. But for now, just enjoy the fact that Lindsay is actually being punished to some degree. It’s amazing.

A few days ago, Radar had a story about Lindsay “threatening to quit” Betty Ford too, and they said that if Lindsay tries to leave Betty Ford whatsoever, she will be “hauled” in front of the judge and she’ll be going to jail. And now LL is freaked out that she’s going to gain weight now that she’s off Adderall too.

One of the most amusing/depressing parts of Lindsay Lohan’s current rehab stay is that in her mind, this is not a punishment. It’s like she’s doing some kind of regimented spa treatment and nothing about LL’s actions indicate that she’s taking it seriously at all. Also depressing/funny? She seems to have completely forgotten that this rehab stay is mandatory, that it is court-ordered. Last week we heard that she was trying to crack-hustle her way out of Betty Ford, wanting to go to some Hawaiian spa/rehab instead. Well, guess what? The Betty Ford Clinic took away poor Linnocent’s Adderall and now she REALLY wants to go to a new rehab. GAWD! Don’t you know that Lindsay Lohan is doing YOU a favor, rehab? Why you gotta be such a buzzkill, rehab? You used to be so much fun, rehab.

It’s Lindsay Lohan’s worst fear … doctors at The Betty Ford Center have cut off her precious supply of Adderall — and now, she’s hell-bent on making her escape.

Sources close to Lindsay tell TMZ … doctors at the rehab center evaluated Lindsay this week and decided she does NOT need her Addy pills, despite Lindsay’s claims she suffers from ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder).

We’re told Betty Ford’s doctors almost NEVER give anyone over the age of 15 the powerful drug, because the docs believe there are plenty of substitute meds for ADHD that do the trick without the addictive qualities inherent in the drug. And, we’re told, the doctors are well aware many people — especially Hollywood types — misuse Adderall as a weight-control drug.

Here’s the immediate problem … Lindsay is telling her friends she CANNOT stay at Betty Ford and wants to be moved to another facility that is not hard-nosed about Adderall.

And this sets up yet another crisis, because it seems inconceivable Judge Jim Dabney and prosecutors would ignore the Betty Ford doctors and trump their diagnosis by letting Lindsay make a move.

[From TMZ]

This is an unexpected punishment from the Betty Ford Clinic. I believe they let her stay on Adderall the last time she stayed there. Of course, they also gave her day passes to go out drinking the last time she was there, so let’s not put too much faith in Betty Ford. Still, this might be the first time in YEARS that Lindsay is stone-cold sober, no vodka or cocaine or Adderall or anything. She must be freaking out.

Oh, and In Touch Weekly had an interesting story in this week’s issue – apparently just before she flew to LA, Lindsay was partying HARD in New York. A source says, “She partied up until the last minute.” LL and a group of friends went to Gemma and “The entire group ordered dinner and ate, except for Lindsay — all she ordered was two rounds of double vodka on the rocks. She didn’t eat anything! She seemed wasted and downing vodka. She paid for everyone — a few hundred dollars.” A few nights after that, she was spotted at 1Oak and Bitter End, where she was partying hard there as well. Because she takes this all so seriously.

Two women who have both slept with Charlie Sheen and received large payouts from him, who have both been in rehab more times than they can count, and who are both in rehab this latest time against their will, are now in the same rehab together. What could go wrong? I’m sure they’re there to get sober and support each other as they work the program. Both TMZ and Radar report that Brooke Mueller has checked into Betty Ford so that she can be in rehab with Lindsay Lohan. Let’s see, Brooke’s rep recently confirmed that his client was in rehab for a prescription drug habit (cough crystal meth) and that she would be there for 30 days. Lindsay is in court-ordered rehab for 90 days. This is Brooke’s 20th time in rehab, that’s no exaggeration, and it’s really hard to confirm this but I think this is Lindsay’s sixth time.

According to Radar, Brooke went to Betty Ford because she wanted to hang out with Lindsay:

Charlie Sheen‘s ex-wife Brooke Mueller Thursday entered the Betty Ford clinic for a 30-day stint, because she specifically wanted to be in rehab with Lindsay Lohan RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned.

The 35-year-old mother of Sheen’s twin boys Bob and Max was not legally forced to enter rehab, sources told us, adding that she’s not guaranteed to receive custody of the boys back when she’s through.

Insiders told us the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services didn’t want the former Palm Beach socialite going to the Rancho Mirage, Calif.-based facility because of the LiLo factor – Mueller apparently disagreed with their opinion.

The boys are currently cared for by Sheen’s other ex-wife Denise Richards who’s slated to attend a hearing in child dependency court early next month.

As we previously reported, Sheen last week issued a statement in support of DCFS’s decision to remove the 4-year-olds from their mother’s home.

All parties in the case have been instructed not to publicly speak on matters.

[From Radar Online]

This is such a bad idea, but these genius addicts are anything but practical. If there are any staffers at Betty Ford left who will stand up to them, you know that they’re going to get pelted with telephones while these two carry out a crack scheme to sneak out to a local bar. Or they’ll call up Charlie and promise him a threesome in exchange for drugs. What a mess this is going to be. At least Lohan is supposed to stay another two months after Brooke leaves but I doubt that’s going to happen. I’m surprised that we haven’t heard anything about her in a couple of days. It seems just about time for her to bust out and go shopping for some sea jasper.

Lindsay Lohan’s crack shenanigans fell to the wayside during the Met Gala coverage, but that doesn’t mean there weren’t lots of stories about her. She’s still in the Betty Ford Clinic, although sources did claim that she’s looking to transfer to a Hawaiian rehab, of course. So what else is the Teflon Cracken up to? Some bullet points:

*LL’s life at Betty Ford is regimented. She gets up 6:30 every morning (me too) and she does chores. A source insists that “she is getting no special treatment at Betty Ford. She is being treated like everyone else.”

*Radar says LL has “completed” the 48-hour detox program and transitioned to the main dorm facility. A source tells Radar, “Lindsay was placed in detox for almost forty-eight hours. She is adapting to being back at Betty Ford and is very receptive to the care plan that has been created for her.” Detoxed of everything… except for Adderall, I’m assuming.

*As for the Adderall, TMZ says that right now, LL is still on Adderall but that could change. According to TMZ, “sources tell us doctors at Betty Ford are currently evaluating Lindsay’s diagnosis and the efficacy of the drug. If doctors disbelieve her diagnosis or the usefulness of Adderall, they will cut her off.” Here’s a spoiler: they’re going to let her keep taking it.

*Radar also says that per court order, LL isn’t going to be getting any “day passes” to go out drinking and cracking like the last time she stayed at Betty Ford. Yeah. We’ll see. Apparently, she’s going to stay in the “hospital” wing of the clinic for the full 90 days, so no day passes.

*One problem with Betty Ford: they only offer 30 day treatments, so LL might have to do the same 30-day program three times in a row, although Shawn Holley insisted that Betty Ford does offer some longer programs.

*TMZ says Mark Heller was the one who was hellbent on getting LL into Morningside, even though he knew that the facility’s license had been revoked.

*Shawn Holley got the judge to formally throw Mark Heller off the case and she got the judge to formally approve the Betty Ford Clinic for LL on Monday. The judge told Shawn, “You snatched her from the precipice.” Meaning that if not for Shawn, he would have issued an arrest warrant.

*Meanwhile, Ali Lohan gave a suspicious new interview to WWD – gee, I wonder if Mother Crackhead’s need to pimp is so strong, she pushed Ali out there now that LL is going to be in rehab for 90 days? Ali told the WWD, “We’re close, we love each other and we have arguments like any other family. At the end of the day, I only trust my family. I feel that so many things have happened, but at the end of the day, they’re always going to be there for you.”

*Ali says Lindsay has given her advice: “We always have good sister-bonding time. Whenever we see each other, we’re always talking about clothes and all girly things, you know? She just says the main thing is to do your best and to do what you love. We’re very close and speak very often.”

Good lord, it’s going to be a LONG three months of crack shenanigans. Lindsay Lohan is firmly ensconced in the bosom of Betty Ford right now, although that doesn’t mean as much as you’d think. Her last trip to Betty Ford ended in bar-hopping, curfew-breaking and employee-assaulting, so I don’t have high (“high”) hopes for Lindsay’s current rehab stay. And it sounds like Lindsay doesn’t care about it either, judging from her interview with Piers Morgan. So is it any wonder that the Cracken is already trying to crack-hustle her way out?

Lindsay Lohan had an incident free weekend at the Betty Ford Center, but as RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned, she is already telling people that she wants to leave the treatment facility. The 26-year-old checked into the Palm Desert, Calif. center late on Thursday, May 2, just hours before the Los Angeles City Attorney planned to go to court to get a warrant for her arrest after a wild day of switching treatment centers.

This is Lohan’s second stay there — her sixth in rehab overall — but apparently she isn’t very happy with her situation.

“Lindsay is already begging to switch out of Betty Ford,” a source close to the troubled actress tells RadarOnline.com. “She has been complaining to everyone that will listen that she doesn’t want to be there and that it isn’t the best place for her.”

LiLo was originally slated to attend Seafield in New York, and then pulled a switcheroo and spent only two minutes in the Morningside Recovery center in Newport Beach before firing her lawyer Mark Heller and re-hiring Shawn Holley , who brokered the deal for her to go the Betty Ford.

However, the center where she had a fight with staffer Dawn Holland in 2010 is not where Lindsay wants to spend the next 87 of her 90-day sentence.

“Lindsay says she wants to go to either a treatment center in Hawaii, Crossroad Centre in Antigua, or even Lukens Institute in Florida.”

According to the source, Lindsay has already asked her attorney to clear the rehab switch with the City Attorney.

[From Radar]

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD. Would they honestly allow her to go to rehab in Hawaii?!!? How is that for “punishment”? Sometimes I wish I was a white crackhead with big boobs just so I could go to Hawaii for a rehab-vacation for three months. God, that would be amazing. Anyway, as for Lindsay’s poor lawyer Shawn Holley, who just got rehired last week, TMZ says Shawn only agreed to come back after Lindsay agreed to actually PAY Shawn all of the money LL owes Shawn from years of legal work:

Shawn Holley is no chump … she agreed to represent Lindsay Lohan again with one big string attached … that she gets the $150,000 that Lindsay owes her for prior work … TMZ has learned.

Sources connected with Lindsay’s team tell TMZ … when Lindsay was on the verge of being on the receiving end of an arrest warrant last week, they called Shawn and pleaded for help. We’re told Lindsay herself made multiple calls begging Shawn to come back.

Our sources say Shawn made it clear … business is business. She said she would rep Lindsay again ONLY with assurance the debt would be wiped clean, and quickly. Shawn demanded a specific payment schedule, earmarking money that Lindsay was slated to get.

What’s more … sources say Shawn got documentation earmarking certain paychecks Lindsay will be getting — paychecks that will now go to Shawn. In other words, Lindsay will never have access to that money so she can stiff her again. And sources say Shawn — whom Lindsay fired just a few months ago — nailed down how she would be paid for future services.

We’re told Lindsay happily agreed to Shawn’s financial demands … frankly she had no other choice. Let’s face it … Lindsay has an M.O.. The question — has Shawn outsmarted her this time? Holley could not be reached for comment.

[From TMZ]

Good for Shawn, I guess. I don’t know why Shawn has such a soft spot for LL, but I suspect LL thinks of Shawn as some kind of mother-substitute. Considering LL was raised by vagina-kicking, cracked-out wolves, it’s not surprising. Speaking of Mother Crackie, Dina gave an interview to E! News about Lindsay’s situation last week – you can read the full thing here. It’s full of delusion and crack lies like Dina claiming Lindsay “actually wanted to go” to rehab because “She is happy there, to get introspective and get back on the right track.” Dina also claims that Lindsay “has a different frame of mind this time. She realizes and she knows she needs help this time. She was like, ‘I’m sorry, Mommy.’ And I tell her, ‘Don’t say you are sorry. You just have to work on yourself and on getting well. Don’t beat yourself up.’” Of course. Why would Dina ever encourage Lindsay to take responsibility for anything?

Lindsay Lohan sat down with Piers Morgan for an extensive print interview in The Daily Mail. I don’t know when this interview was conducted, but I imagine it was at some point over the past week, a week in which Lindsay’s crack shenanigans were in full effect. The interview is pretty cracked-out too – you can read the full thing here, and here are some of the crack highlights:

LL on whether her life would have better without early stardom: “No, I believe things happen for a reason… No, I live without regrets. There are certain things I have done, mistakes that I made, that I would change, but I don’t regret them at all, because I’ve learnt from them.

When she first went to the therapy: “Around 13. I wanted to talk to someone. I didn’t want to burden Mum with everything.”

She had her first drink when she was 17: “I was 17. No [I didn’t like it], I got really sick and Mum made me sleep with vomit still on me so I’d understand how it felt. I didn’t drink again throughout high school. I was too scared!”

She claims she was a “clean-living teenager”: “Yes. My friends and I would actually pretend to be drunk. And it was more fun. I never rebelled against my parents – I worked hard, I was responsible and I didn’t go to high-school parties.”

When her life went off the rails: “I think when I made the move to LA in my late teens. I got arrested for my first DUI (Driving Under the Influence) when I was 20 and they found me with drugs (her Mercedes struck a kerb outside a club on May 26, 2007, and she was charged after police found cocaine in the car). And from then on the press were on me all the time. It was the first time I’d taken drugs; I was out in a club with people I shouldn’t have been with, and took cocaine, and got in the car. It was so stupid.”

How many times she’s done coke: “Everyone thinks I’ve done it so many times. But I’ve only done it maybe four or five times in my life. Yes, I don’t like it. It reminds me of my dad. I took it four times in a period from about the age of 20 to 23, and I got caught twice… I felt a little too buzzed – it made me feel uncomfortable….It’s the truth. I’ve never taken heroin either, never injected myself with anything, never done LSD. Those things all scare me.”

Other drugs she’s “tried”: “Pot, obviously. And ecstasy. I liked that better than the others (giggles). I didn’t drink on it, so I was just chilling. It’s something that a lot of people experience when they’re in college. I just should have known that being in the public eye, someone was bound to say something or try to make some money off it.”

That time Michael Lohan recorded Lindsay telling him that Dina hit her: “The one thing that upset me the most when it happened was when he recorded me telling him about an argument I had with Mum. Mum and I never argued – this was only the second time we’d ever had a real fight. And then he recorded me talking about it, and gave it to the media. And it created such an untrue, hurtful picture of my relationship with my mother. It broke my heart. Mum tried so hard to keep things civil with my dad, but nothing worked… He definitely needs to see a therapist. He went to rehab once but got kicked out. That’s one thing that’s never happened to me!”

LL on drinking: “Not really. I’ve never been a huge drinker. I’ve never woken up in the morning and had a drink.”

So why does she need rehab: “This is where it gets hard for me to explain. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with people taking time to just be by themselves. I think people want to see me do that. They will keep saying the same things about me if I don’t. I don’t think it will be a bad thing for me to be away with myself for three months… I don’t think I need to be on lockdown for three months. I don’t think that’s rehab… I’ve been court-ordered to do it six times. I could write the book on rehab. Constantly sending me to rehab is pointless. The first few times I was court-ordered to rehab it was like a joke, like killing time.”

Starting this current rehab stay: “I look at it as a good thing. I can come back afterwards and be fully focused on work. But I think there are other things I could do instead of going to a rehab centre that would benefit me more. The best thing they could do for me would be to make me go abroad to different countries and work with children.”

She denies being a crack thief: “When I was younger I was definitely going out too much and I was drinking too much. I was accused of everything, even stealing a necklace. I’d never steal a necklace. They didn’t show the real in-store video tape to anyone, because that shows the store attendant putting it on me and me taking out cash to pay for it, and she’s saying, ‘No, you can just bring it back tomorrow.’ So, there’s like a slew of things that have gone on like that which have been such a strain.”

How irresponsible she is: “I think my two DUIs were totally irresponsible – a stupid mistake… Everyone thinks I’m this crazy drug addict who shows up late to everything and behaves so badly. But I’m not. I’m bad with timing. I always panic when people rush me. I’m like, ‘I’ll be there half an hour early if you just give me my space and don’t call me every five seconds.’”

Her sexuality: “I like boys. [Is she bisexual?] Not really. I like being in a relationship with a guy. But there’s something just different about it with a woman. When I was with Samantha (Ronson), I didn’t want to leave, because I didn’t want to be alone. It was very toxic. And her family controlled anything she did… I still love her as a person…. I know I’m straight. I have made out with girls before, and I had a relationship with a girl. But I think I needed to experience that and I think I was looking for something different.”

She’s on prescription drugs: “I have severe ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder). I can’t stand still. So I take Adderall (a prescription drug) for that, it calms me. I know people who take it to stay up, or girls who take it to supposedly stay slim because it kills your appetite. But I eat all the time. I just take it to stay calm. It works well for me. [I also take] Trazodone (a tranquilliser) if I’ve been travelling and can’t sleep from jet lag. But in small doses, I’m not a pill-popper.”

Can she give up drinking? “Yes, I’m fine with that. I don’t drink every day. Heath Ledger (who died from a prescription drugs overdose in 2008) told me to give it up for a year because he’d just done that, and so I did and it wasn’t a problem for me. I didn’t miss it, I felt good. That’s not to say that years from now I won’t have a glass of wine at a dinner, but I’d rather not drink and just focus on work.”

[From The Mail]

There’s a lot more in the interview, I was just trying to pull the best/worst/most crackie quotes. It’s pretty epic. Her denial, her crack-lies, her complete obliviousness. And this is what I always say about Lindsay – she thinks she’s so clever and that everyone is buying her crack lies. Like, she thinks this interview is a total success and that everyone will believe her when she says she’s only done coke four times (ha – she means she’s only been CAUGHT doing coke four or five times) and that she’s never been a crack-thief (HA) and that she and Samantha Ronson didn’t work out because Ronson’s family was too controlling (HAHAHA). Ugh. Dumb crackhead.

Let’s all take a deep breath (of crack fumes) and recap what went down yesterday. Lindsay rejected the Hamptons rehab facility because they wouldn’t let her smoke, so she waited until the very last minute to fly to California (in hysterics, apparently) to check herself into a rehab in Newport Beach called Morningside. LL’s lawyer and the prosecutor met with the judge in an emergency hearing because no one had signed off on this new rehab, and the judge basically said “EH” and let LL stay at Morningside pending further approval. As it turns out, WHILE the hearing was going on, Lindsay had checked out of the rehab because OMG OF COURSE. So here’s what has happened since:

*Allegedly, Lindsay had 12 hours to return to the rehab, which it doesn’t look like she did. This morning, the city attorney is going to go to the judge and ask for an arrest warrant. A source tells Radar, “Lindsay leaving the rehab center that a judge was actually allowing her to stay in was a big mistake. Making that decision has serious consequences and if she doesn’t have her attorney deal with this tonight then the City Attorney is going to go to court in the morning to get a warrant for her arrest.”

*TMZ says that Lindsay never in fact checked into Morningside at all – she just rolled up in her SUV, never got out of the car, and then the SUV left. And she never came back. TMZ says that if Lindsay doesn’t show up by 6 am PST (9 am EST), the arrest warrant will be issued.

*TMZ also says that Lindsay has “begged” Shawn Holley to return as her lawyer because LL is “angry” with Mark Heller for recommending Morningside. TMZ says – and this probably comes straight from the Teflon Cracken’s mouth – that Lindsay “decided she didn’t want to go” to Morningside when she learned (from TMZ!) that Morningside had its license revoked. Ha.

*As for Holley, LL was apparently in contact with her throughout the day yesterday and Holley has agreed to take Lindsay back as a client (OH GOD). Holley has been in touch with prosecutors, trying to get them to agree to a rehab facility other than Morningside. Mark Heller might be fired now?

*And Radar claims that Lindsay has been “cleared” to enter Betty Ford (again), in a deal brokered by Shawn Holley. A source says, “Lindsay cut a last minute deal with the D.A. to go to Betty Ford. Shawn Holley helped to broker the agreement with [Los Angeles] City Attorney [Terry White] late Thursday night. It’s unclear if she has checked in.”

*Radar’s source: “Lindsay cannot stand her current lawyer and thinks he doesn’t know what he is doing. So late Thursday, from hiding, she began calling emailing Shawn incessantly. Shawn has always had a soft spot for Lindsay, even after everything she has pulled. She hates to see her suffering.”

*Another source claims that Lindsay was going to treat Morningside like a hotel: “Lindsay had her ‘publicist’ call all day on Thursday making outrageous demands … like that she needed her cell phone with her at all times. It’s like she thinks Morningside is a hotel. The staff at the facility doesn’t need nor want this drama. Lindsay’s actions on Thursday were very disruptive.”

So, I guess LL will probably be heading back to Betty Ford, which is where she was a few years ago, and they kept giving her day passes to go out drinking. When she returned to that facility after breaking her curfew one night, one of the staffers tried to stop her and punish her and Lindsay beat the woman with a phone. I can’t imagine that Betty Ford wants LL back, but who knows? And I guess she has less than an hour to check in. I’ll update if there’s anything more…

UPDATE: TMZ says that Lindsay is now “safely ensconced” at Betty Ford. Apparently, she checked in last night after Shawn Holley negotiated with the city attorney. TMZ says, “We’re told prosecutors will back off their promise to seek an arrest warrant today … although they still have to get the judge to sign off on Betty Ford, but it looks like that will just be a formality.”

As Kaiser covered earlier, today was the day Lindsay Lohan was supposed to check into rehab. Kaiser pre-wrote some of this before I watched the hearing and jacked this story from her, so I’m just going to use her introduction and put it in quotes: “Not just any rehab: the prosecutor and judge signed off on the rehab in the Hamptons, but Lindsay refused to go because they would let her smoke cigarettes (not to mention crack). So now Lindsay is weeping and she’s hysterical and her dad won’t stop giving interviews and OH BY THE WAY she’s already in violation of her plea deal. Because of course. The California justice system is going to sentence her to TWO gentle pats on the firecrotch for this!”

Again, Kaiser pre-wrote that paragraph above before the hearing, and of course she was right. Of course nothing happened to The Teflon Cracken, and of course she got away with switching rehabs at the last minute. In today’s hearing, the prosecutor Terry White expressed his frustration at the last minute change in rehabs. He said that he had been given a list of six rehabs some time ago, that he researched them all, spoke to rehab directors, and picked the one he considered acceptable. Instead, he was told about five minutes before today’s hearing that a different rehab was chosen, and was given a letter claiming that the rehab was acceptable, instead of being allowed to do his own research.

White said that he had quickly looked into Lindsay’s chosen rehab, Morningside in Newport Beach, CA where she allegedly is now, and had found three articles from the past year condemning it. Score for Lindsay! The whole hearing was a score for Lindsay, because the judge didn’t seem to be swayed by the prosecution and said she could stay in that rehab, unless prosecutors objected. The prosecution has until May 10th to evaluate the place. It almost doesn’t matter if prosecutors object to that particular rehab, because they still have to prove that the rehab doesn’t “fall within the parameters of the plea agreement.” The judge kept emphasizing that point, so I bet that objection never happens. TMZ did some research and found that Morningside had its license revoked just last year for “being careless with prescription drugs.” Again, score for Lindsay! She’ll be able to get all the Adderall and Vicodin she needs to get through the day.

I just wanted to share the most ridiculous line from today’s hearing. Lindsay’s My Cousin Vinny lawyer, Mark Heller, insisted that “My client is ensconced in the bosom of that facility right now.” Sucking at the teat of denial, addiction and entitlement.

If the prosecution doesn’t object, Lindsay will stay at Morningside rehab until July 31st. If she’s in compliance and finishes treatment, she doesn’t have to go back to court at that time and her lawyer can appear for her.

Update: Radar is reporting that Lindsay walked right in and right out of rehab and quotes a source who says “She told people there that she didn’t need rehab. And then she left. Everyone was stunned.” Meanwhile TMZ has a photo of Lindsay shopping in electronic store Fry’s at 9am Pacific time, when her lawyer assured the judge she was already “ensconced in the bosom of that facility.” She wasn’t in rehab a couple of hours later either, and – get this – the rehab lost its license for good last year, and is only a “sober living facility,” one that Lohan refuses to even stick with for a day. It’s about to get interesting.
