What Does the Lindsay Lohan Surveillance Video Prove or Disprove?

Lindsay Lohan in allegedly stolen necklaceTMZ has talked to some of the people who have reviewed the surveillance footage from Kamofie & Company, the jewelry store from which Lindsay Lohan allegedly lifted a $2500 necklace... and from what we’re hearing, the video shows that Linds didn't exactly pull off the crime of the century.

Reportedly, Lohan talked to the owner of the store before leaving, wearing the necklace almost the entire time she was inside. In the video, Lindsay tries on the necklace, looks at herself in the mirror and speaks to the owner while still wearing it around her neck. She took off the necklace she was already wearing in order to try on the one that could get her sent back to jail.

The necklace remained on her, in plain view, for the next 45 minutes as she continued to try on various pieces of jewelry within the store. She slipped her own necklace back on before leaving, but the store’s necklace was still plainly visible underneath.

Michael Lohan Behind Late Show Myth, Letterman ‘Apologizes’

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Television, Child Stars,

Lindsay LohanWhen the producers of the received a call from “someone purporting to be a friend” of Lindsay Lohan, there were understandably psyched about the possibility of having her appear on the show. Press releases were immediately sent out announcing her upcoming appearance.

Lindsay Lohan took to her own Twitter page soon after to refute claims that she would be appearing on the show, and the Late Show was forced to release more statements calling the whole thing a “mistake.” And the mistake's name is Michael Lohan, Lindsay’s dad.

Michael Lohan told TMZ that it was he who was behind the Lindsay-on-Letterman stunt, saying that he suggested nothing more than a Lindsay-led Top 10 list to the show. He says Linds green-lighted the idea, changing her mind only after her own people decried the whole plan.

Letterman delivered a bit of a tongue-in-cheek apology to camp Lindsay following the incident.

Lindsay Lohan: Free From Jail, For Now

Lindsay Lohan grand theft court appearance

Lindsay Lohan’s $40,000 bail has been posted, and she’s free to roam all the jewelry stores in downtown Los Angeles . . . for now. The former child star pled not guilty on Wednesday to the felony grand theft charge she received for allegedly swiping a $2500 necklace from a Venice, California jewelry shop.

Lohan’s lawyer, Shawn Chapman-Holley, argues that Linds believed she was borrowing the piece. It is not uncommon for jewelry stores to lend out important pieces to celebs who will be photographed wearing the items, but in this case the jewelry store says no way -- Lindsay Lohan took the necklace without their consent or knowledge.

The actress must go back to court on February 23 to argue her innocence. Lohan could receive up to 3 years in prison for grand theft, if the charge sticks, on top of additional jail time for violating her probation. Lohan is on probation following her 2007 DUI arrest, and this won’t expire until August 11.

Dina Lohan Reacts to Glee Insults

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Television, Child Stars, Rivalries,

Dina Lohan, Lindsay LohanGlee has never shied away from controversy. The show took some well-publicized flak for making comments about Lindsay Lohan during Gwyneth Paltrow’s guest-starring stint (“Lindsay Lohan is totally crazy, right?” and “How many times has Lindsay Lohan been to rehab?”) . . . but that doesn’t mean they’re going to pass up new jokes.

Two well-placed (and very funny) jokes aimed at Lindsay’s mom Dina Lohan on Sunday night have managed to get Linds, et al., riled up again. During the much-anticipated scene between Glee guest star Katie Couric and Jane Lynch (playing coach Sue Sylvester), the anchor told Sue that she is the Loser of the Year. Sylvester beat out Dina Lohan, Tiger Woods, the economy and also Dina Lohan’s dog Sparky Lohan, among others, to gain the title.

Dina has fired back with a rant given to E! News. “[Glee] has targeted everyone from gays to lesbians, Asians, disabled and each other . . . several groups are going after the producers, including mothers’ groups.”

She went on to say the “dance numbers are amazing,” but “the writers need to be nice and more creative as opposed to being hurtful.”

Some people just can’t take a joke. But we understand that the Lohans are finding little to laugh about these days (Lindsay is facing potential felony charges, though she’s only recently finished another of her rehab stints), so we’ve got some advice for Dina, Linds and the rest of the family: If you want people to stop cracking jokes about you, stop being ridiculous.

Lindsay Lohan’s Lawyer Fires Back at Abuse Accusations

Lindsay Lohan out of rehabLindsay Lohan may be on the way to a clean, safe recovery; however, she still has some things from her recent rehab past to settle first.

 
Lohan's on-again off-again attorney, Shawn Chapman Holley, is now firing back at last month's claims that her client was violating her probation -- specifically, consuming alcohol -- while at the Betty Ford clinic.
 
"I had numerous conversations with Betty Ford counselors and doctors over the course of Lindsay's treatment there and it was never suggested by anyone that she ever drank or used drugs. Her discharge letter from the facility is totally consistent with that," said Holley.
 
Right, and we should listen to the lawyer who maintained that Lindsay was in Cannes for work when she was incessantly photographed partying on a yacht, practically refusing to show up to her court case?
 
The new judge presiding over Lindsay's case, Judge Elden Fox, has previously said that Lohan will return to jail for up to six months should she violate the terms of her probation.
 
Until her progress review hearing on February 25, Lohan is subject to random drug and alcohol tests.

Betty Ford Staffer Accuses Lindsay Lohan of Assault

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Movies, Rumors,

Lindsay LohanDawn Holland, a chemical dependency technician at the Betty Ford Clinic, has accused one of the patients of assault. Because the accused is Lindsay Lohan, TMZ has been digging to find every piece of information they can.

Currently, Holland is claiming that she’s badly hurt, that Lindsay had been drinking when they had the altercation and she’s been forced to file for workers’ compensation as a result.

Holland has since been let go from her position at the clinic for speaking to TMZ.

The alleged assault occurred on December 12 around 1:00 in the morning, when Linds and two roommates arrived at the facility -- after curfew -- following an evening out.

When security caught them trying to jump a wall on the property, Holland was summoned to do a breath test on the three women. She says Lohan refused to take the test and shoved Holland. Moments later, during a 911 call, Holland says Lindsay forcibly took the phone from her hand to cause a severe sprain.

Holland has filed a police report.

Dr. Drew Wouldn’t Treat Lindsay Lohan for Addiction

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Television, Child Stars, Drugs,

Dr. Drew Pinsky has handled sex addiction, drug abuse and some of the most entitled celebrities ever to grace reality TV … but he’s not anxious to help Lindsay Lohan overcome her substance abuse problems.

“The only way I would take her is if she would agree to stay in treatment for one year,” he said in a recent interview with Popeater.

But Linds isn’t alone. Dr. Drew says he’d need the same amount of time with Charlie Sheen. “I do think my team could really help them in a special way, TV or not TV, but they need longer term,” he explained.

Dr. Drew is currently being featured on the fourth season of Celebrity Rehab, which airs on VH1. Last week on that program, actor Jeremy London talked about the alleged kidnapping and forced drug abuse inflicted upon him. This week, fans are expecting to watch Janice Dickinson blow up at the staff and/or other patients … again.
