UPDATE: Lindsay was found guilty of violating her probation and sentenced to 90 days in jail, starting on July 20.

1998: Lindsay Lohan, 11, makes her Disney debut as two adorable redheads in a re-make of the classic flick The Parent Trap.

2007: Two DUIs and three trips to rehab later, great scripts stopped coming Lindsay’s way.

Nine years, millions of dollars and more tabloid headlines than you can shake a stick at - and that’s all it took for this star to topple from the top of Hollywood fame to the gutter of media obsession. What the hell happened to Lindsay Lohan?

2010: Add a SCRAM bracelet, probation violations and a well-publicized court case, and it’s obvious that things just aren’t getting any better for the talented actress. Lohan was recently sentenced to a 90-day jail term for probation violations, a far cry from walking the red carpet at a glitzy movie premiere.

Her resume, once impressive, is now peppered with large gaps and more than one total bomb (didya make it through I Know Who Killed Me?). Once known for her freckles and bright smile, Lindsay Lohan is now a cautionary Hollywood tale that seems destined for a tragic ending. Somewhere in the midst of repeated rehab attempts, alcohol education classes and more than one paparazzi photo of the drunken former child star, Lohan transitioned from promising A-list celeb to complete media joke.

But no one’s laughing anymore. Lindsay’s spiral has led her to court, possibly to jail, and every day seems to bring some new sad news. Her parents are publicly fighting in the press, her little sister is making her own headlines and her career isn’t even worth mentioning anymore. The world now waits for Lindsay Lohan to make some new scene or photographed mistake - and we don’t have to wait very long between incidents. Earlier today, the star was served with another lawsuit even as she journeyed to the California court where her future fate will be decided. And some of us still remember when she made movies…vaguely.

Why did it happen? Lindsay Lohan was treated like an adult well before she fit the criteria. The star was given the green light to go into any club she wanted - even when it was well-known that she was underage. Instead of two parents, she got two fame-obsessed managers more interested in warring with each other than taking care of the budding star (their daughter). She was given everything and nothing at the same time, and in a matter of a dozen years Lindsay Lohan completely self-destructed. Now, it seems that she has no idea how to begin picking up the pieces.

What does Lindsay need to get it all back on track? For starters, a lot less Hollywood and a whole lot more attention - but not from the press.
