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.

David ArquetteUPDATE: Courteney Cox has responded. Read her statement here.

The new year hasn't brought much fortune or resolution to David Arquette just yet. The 39 year-old checked into rehab, which a source close to the actor say has been much needed, considering his recent separation from wife Courteney Cox.

The reason for admittance is surprisingly normal -- at least for Hollywood standards: "He is in there for drinking and depression, not hard drugs. Rehab was inevitable. He is dealing with a broken heart. He can't handle all the changes in his life. All his inner demons came out," the source said.

No word yet from Courteney, who has said that their separation does not mean divorce.

Maybe David ought to ask Lindsay for some advice; she ought to have enough experience with rehab facilities. She may even invite him to one of her Betty Ford parties.

It will cost Lindsay Lohan a whopping $50,000 to dry out at the Betty Ford Center until January 3, per her court-ordered term. Linds is a celeb, and it should be no problem … but reports are circulating that the bill is too high for her to pay.

Lohan’s probation report states that her “clothing line is falling apart because she is not available to monitor the product.” Linds will also have to wait until she leaves the clinic to receive any money from her film project Inferno, in which she plays a famous porn movie queen.

But wait … didn’t she make a lot of money from all the movies? Celebrity Net Worth suggests Linds has about half a million net, but rumors of money problems have plagued the actress for years. An April report suggests that Linds amassed an amazing debt of $1 million on her credit cards, and her current Betty Ford stay is definitely not her first rehab stint. Being addicted costs money … and stopping the addiction doesn’t come cheap, either.

So, will Linds be kicked out of the Betty Ford Center? Not likely. Like as not, Lohan is still a celeb -- otherwise, why would we care if she’s broke? -- and has all the potential to get back on top.

Michael Lohan allegedly made some pretty strong statements to the press recently about his daughter Lindsay Lohan.

TMZ reports that Michael is threatening to start abusing drugs and alcohol to enter the Betty Ford Center as a patient, as it seems Linds will see him no other way.

Coming on the heels of his surprisingly lucid, straightforward interview with Perez Hilton, this just sounds … well, crazy.

Lindsay LohanAs if it’s surprising: is trying to shorten the terms of her probation.

The troubled star’s legal team want the length of the court-ordered terms - which are presently scheduled to run until August 2011 - lessened, as they fear she will “get in trouble” before the period ends. Lindsay is presently in the Betty Ford rehab center in Los Angeles, following two spells in prison this summer; serving 13 days of a 90-day jail term in July before briefly being returned in September after failing drug tests, although she was released hours later on $300,000 bail.

“The longer Lindsay stays on probation, the increased chances that she will get in trouble because of problems staying compliant with the terms of her probation. The only person that can modify terms of Lindsay’s probation, or terminate it early, is Judge Elden Fox.”

Lindsay could again face a return to prison, as she is due in court on October 22 for a probation hearing, after her failed drug tests, which could see her incarcerated again for violating the terms of her probation for a 2007 driving under the influence (DUI) conviction. Friends of the star have said she isn’t worried by this prospect, however, and is prepared to return to jail. “The fact is jail doesn’t scare Lindsay. Before she did her time earlier this summer, she was petrified. Having spent time behind bars, it doesn’t have that effect on her. Jail isn’t a deterrent for her, period,” one source said.

Lindsay LohanIn addition to the drugs and alcohol, is being treated for an addiction to email.

The Machete actress - who voluntarily entered into a substance abuse program at the Betty Ford Clinic in Los Angeles late last month - has reportedly had her phone usage cut, with staff also urging her to reduce the amount of time she spends on social networking websites.

“Lindsay is only allowed to use her phone for two hours a day, and only to keep in touch with family and close friends. Before, she would repeatedly and compulsively email her friends if she was ever in a situation where she felt lonely, and she would vent on ,” a source said.

The policy has been implemented so Lindsay can “concentrate on herself” during therapy. Lindsay is due in court on October 22 for a probation hearing, after she failed two drugs tests last month.
