This ^^ is a photo of Lindsay Lohan arriving at LAX late last night. Can I just say? All week, I’ve had anxiety about Lindsay Lohan’s court appearance today in LA. Mostly my anxiety comes from a place of “How many times do I have to cover Lindsay Lohan’s courtroom shenanigans? Nothing ever comes from it anyway. Lady Justice pretty much gives her a handie and she’s on her way to more cracktastrophes.” But now I have anxiety for another reason – Lindsay made sure that her arrival in LA would get wall-to-wall coverage because she played a game of “Haha, I might not even show up to court, even though the judge ordered me to appear.” At first she claimed she might not come because she’s “sick”. Super-sick you guys. So sick that she needed some retail therapy in NYC and she totally can’t fly.

Lindsay Lohan is gonna be in a heap of trouble tomorrow … we’ve learned she will NOT be in an L.A. court Wednesday as required, because she claims she’s sick … but pictures prove otherwise.

We’ve learned Lindsay’s new lawyer, Mark Heller, submitted documents notifying the judge she’s too ill to fly. Heller submitted a note from a Park Avenue doctor who says Lindsay has an upper respiratory infection and can’t fly for her own safety as well as the safety of the public.

Heller also submitted an article from the New York Post from January 11, reporting that a flu epidemic has hit the Big Apple.

But take a look at the pictures showing Lindsay on an all-day shopping spree in SoHo Saturday — the same day the doctor allegedly examined her. She’s even smoking … which doesn’t seem like great idea for someone with a respiratory infection.

Interesting … the judge hasn’t even approved Heller — a New York lawyer — to appear in a California court on Lindsay’s behalf and already there are shenanigans.

As for Lindsay … she’s in trouble. The judge could issue a warrant for her arrest if the excuse proves bogus.

Now, the flu is a real thing, and it’s pretty rough this year. You know what else is going around? That awful Norovirus that I had around this time last year. If Lindsay actually had the Norovirus, I would give her a pass – but I know she doesn’t have it. The Norovirus knocks you flat on your ass, and you can’t even stand up and walk around without barfing. So, the “flu” it is. The kind of flu where you walk around shopping and smoking.

Anyway, TMZ got the “tip” (from Lindsay or Dina) that the threat of an arrest warrant being issued was hardcore enough to get the Cracken’s ass on a place. TMZ also says that Lindsay has been “begging” Shawn Holley to take her back, telling Shawn “she can’t stand Heller and wants it the way it was … problem is, Lindsay already made her bed and as we already reported, Holley is over Lindsay for good.” TMZ also says that Lindsay flew first class to LA because she was in a “panic” after their reporting. Sure.

One thing is for sure – this will be a major cracktastrophe.
