Lindsay Lohan checks into rehab, will probably get off easy


Promises rehab in Malibu did such a great job with Britney Spears that Lohan hopes it will help her hold on to her career, too. In Touch reports that she was due to check in yesterday afternoon to the celebrity treatment center, which focuses on the 12 steps of AA and teaching life skills to their clientele:

Lindsay is due to check into Promises in Malibu this afternoon (LA-time) In Touch has learned. That is the facility that Britney Spears entered after shaving her head.

The Georgia Rule star’s decision contrasts starkly from her behavior just last night at Teddy’s nightclub. Insiders say Lindsay was partying as hard as ever at a 944 Magazine party and kept insisting she didn’t care about the consequences of her arrest when cocaine was discovered in her wrecked Mercedes convertible.

Early Monday morning Lohan was seen slumped over in a car after a hard night at Teddy’s nighclub. Samantha Ronson was driving thankfully. She who was also in the car – at Lohan’s insistence – on Saturday morning when Lohan careened off the road and into a tree, resulting in her DUI arrest.

There’s also a picture in that set of Lohan keeled over on her knees and being assisted by someone, but if she was puking there would probably be pictures of it afterwards.

CBS News quotes an expert as saying that Lohan will probably get off with some kind of community service as it was her first DUI as no one was hurt. While she did leave the scene, she didn’t try and remove her car. She could also claim that she had a drink before she went to the hospital and after she crashed her car. This might be far-fetched, but however she can invalidate the breathalyzer and blood test results will work in her favor.

Meanwhile Lohan is still getting work. There’s an article in Variety that says she’s joining Rosario Dawson, Channing Tatum, Shirley MacLaine and Olympia Dukakia in the “grandma gang” comedy, Poor Things.

Lohan is also due to record an album this year, which she calls “urban pop.” Maybe she should focus on getting semi-sober first.

Here are pictures of Lohan out at the Ivy on 5/24. [via]
