VIDEO - Lindsay Lohan Offered Plea Deal - Judge Says "You WILL Go To Jail" If You Take It

 


Lindsay Lohan was in court yet again this morning, and was offered a plea deal for her most recent charges of theft for stealing a necklace.

During the hearing, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Keith Schwartz told her that if she decides to take the plea deal, she will be going to jail. The ball is now in Lindsay's court to decide if the deal will be accepted or if the actress will take her chances with a trial.

Still looming over Lindsay's head is the fact that the prosecutor in the case is still weighing options to have Lindsay remanded to jail for violating the terms of her release from her last legal mess as the new case could be considered a violation of her previous terms.

Tough spot to be in if you are Lindsay's defense team...

"Lydia will play a bratty movie goddess in and out of rehab, in trouble with the law, and hounded by greedy agents, predatory paparazzi, off-the-wall stalkers and crazed media -- a role obviously based on Lindsay Lohan. "

Strange thing when people are getting acting jobs about you not being able to get any acting jobs of your own.....

The movie will be called "Dogs In Pocketbooks"

Lindsay Lohan Involved In Physical Altercation At Betty Ford Clinic - Cops Called, Lindsay Labled A "Suspect"

Punching, grabbing and finger pointing.... sounds like the set of an adult film, but in reality, it's the description of what went down between Lindsay Lohan and a staff member at the Betty Ford Clinic where the troubled star is residing for a court ordered rehab stint.

According to reports, Lindsay and a staff member got into a confrontation after Lindsay returned 10 minutes late as described by her curfew. Upon her return, it is alleged Lindsay was grabbed by a staff member, and pushed her in retaliation and the cops were called.

This all leads to the former star being labeled a "suspect" in a criminal battery investigation, and Lindsay's father, Michael, pushing for his daughter to press charges as well.

Bottom line is that things have tendency get nasty when you have a confrontation like this with a troubled star, but even more so when you are a troubled star that had a confrontation with an (allegedly) overzealous staff member at a rehab clinic.

Lindsay Lohan Avoids Jail, Sent Back To Rehab

In a somewhat surprising ruling, Judge Elden Fox has sentenced Lindsay Lohan to stay at the Betty Ford rehab center until Jan. 3, 2011 instead of the 180 days in jail the prosecutor wanted for her probation violations.

Upon release form the center, Lindsay will submit to random court ordered drug screens, but hey, at least it isn't the sentence a normal person would have gotten jail time.

Michael Lohan Reportedly Attacked In Santa Monica

Santa Monica law enforcement sources confirmed they responded to a 911 call at 9:56 last night to find Michael Lohan shirtless with scratches on his neck.

The celebrity day explained that as he was getting into his car, he was approached from behind and someone attempted to choke him. Lohan went on to say that he fought with the attacker for a few minutes before the assailant ran off. The attacker was described as a 50-60(?) year old male wearing a black running suit.

It appears Michael suffered no major injuries (or permanent damage from the attacker's cane) that would keep him from following today's legal proceedings that will determine if his daughter Lindsay will be sent back to Jail.

*Update* - A recent article on tmz reports the following account: 

"Michael claims he was attacked outside his home in Santa Monica, CA. Michael told police ... about an hour before the incident, he received a threatening phone call. We're told shortly after the call, Michael went out for cigarettes -- that's when he says the attack occurred.
Mike explained to police when he went to open his car door, he was jumped from behind. We're told the suspect, whom Michael says is in his 50s or 60s, began choking him and had some kind of sharp object which he used to slice Michael's neck.  Michael says the knife penetrated his skin and caused substantial bleeding. "

Michael Lohan "I Was Wrong For Offending My Ex Wife And My Children"

Michael Lohan has sent a statement to various media outlets in which he states he will no longer comment on anything regarding his daughter Lindsay or ex-wife Dina and he says he was wrong for offending his ex wife and kids. The statement sent by Michael is below.

After serious thought and conversation last night, with someone who means alot to me. I am making this statement and fully intend on living by it.

With all due respect to those who have both gotten on my nerves for reporting things that weren't true, ( as well as things that were),I want to make a public statement that I will not be commenting on ANYTHING relating to my daughter Lindsay, or ANYTHING my ex wife Dina, or any "sources" related to her, might say.
After all the things said and the incidents which have transpired, I realize that no matter how wrong or right I may have been, at the end of the day, I was wrong for offending my ex wife and my children.

Because of the spotlight and scrutiny we have been under, as well as my own "pride", which has caused pain to my mother, (deceased father), brother, sisters and their sibling, I realize how my statements and actions have had a ripple effect on all of them. If it was me alone, it would be one thing, but I'm not. The things I have said and done, have cased hurt , pain and embarrassment for all of them.

That being said, I make this statement in humble supplication. And NO MATTER what accusations, lies or conjecture are disseminated to the public,about me, for the sake of the ones I love and with hope of creating peace, I WILL NOT respond , in ANY way, to what is said or done, to me.

MY family"s health and well being matters too much.

For the sake of those I offended, I apologize and ask their forgiveness. But even if they can't find it in their heart to forgive, like I forgive them. I KNOW that God will have the last word and defend me in His own way.

So please refrain from from calling or contacting me.

So there you have it. Michael's statement on not making any more statements.

Dina Lohan Shopping Lindsay "Rehab Reality Show"

What would you be doing if your daughter was in the Betty Ford Center for her 5th attempt at a rehab program? You'd be shopping a reality show about it of course!

Kikster.com reported the following about Lindsay Lohan's mother: "Not only has Dina been 'shopping' around her upcoming trip to visit Lindsay in rehab at Betty Ford with her "other" 3 children, Michael Jr, Ali and Cody to media outlets for the sale of pictures BUT she is doing it to develop a new reality show!"
The story also went on to report that Dina sold the footage of a past Lindsay rehab stint to the  E! Network for a special.
Strange that someone would actually have an incentive to keep their kid returning to rehab time and time again....

Lindsay Lohan Caught Trying To Escape Rehab!

It is being reported that Lindsay Lohan was caught trying to leave the Betty Ford Center (Where she currently resides).

It appears Lindsay and another patient were trying to make a run for it to the nearby Eisenhower Medical Center in an effort to get a Coke. (Yes, "A" Coke, not "SOME" Coke). Apparantly, the Betty Ford Center does not carry any soft drinks, as caffiene is prohibited there.

The plan was foiled by you meddling kids when Lindsay's escape partner had her clothes caught on a fence, and the duo flagged down a volunteer on a passing golf cart, and gave up.

Not much of a news item, we know, but hell, it's gossip, and we havent had any Lindsay news in a while and we were going through withdrawl a little.

It's Been Quiet Around Here Without You...

Just wanted to stop by and show some love... Hope things are going well Lindsay....

"You bet your ass I'm filing a conservatorship" Michael told Radaronline.com.

Fifth Time Is A Charm! Guess Who's In Rehab?

Yup... No prize if you guessed right.. I mean, damn....  how could you guess wrong?

Hey Philadelphia! Protest This!

There's a new hero in Philadelphia. On Sunday, Mike Vick celebrated his third game in a row with a quarterback rating over 100, and looked absolutely brilliant in the Eagles slaughter of the Jacksonville Jaguars.

It was only one short year ago when the streets outside of Lincoln Financial Field were lined with protesters concerned with Vick's dogfighting conviction. They spent hours in the rain almost religiously chanting for his demise and exile from the city. It was their life's mission to ruin his shot at a possible comback and career resurrection, and they demanded to be heard.

Fast forward to today. The citizens of the City of Brotherly Love can be heard chanting Vick's name in bars as well as the office on Monday mornings, and number 7 jerseys are becoming increasing difficult to find in stock in local sportswear stores. In Philadelphia, winning is everything, and it is increasingly clear that Mr. Vick has been absolved of past sins. The (very) few remaining protesters are now met with anger and flying beer bottles, cheesesteak projectiles and bodily fluid disdain by the fans entering the stadium. This sideshow alone would be worth the price of admission, even if the Eagles weren't playing so well.

Mike Vick has obviously figured out the formula to be forgiven by society in 2010 and has exposed the fickleness of the American people for everyone to see. He has now provided a roadmap for public redemption. Stay tuned for the inevitable press conferences to announce that Mel Gibson, Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton, and that guy who jumped down the Jet Blue slide have hired agents, and will be trying out for the Philadelphia Eagles back up quarterback spot. (Apologies to current back up quarterback Kevin Kolb, we know it's been a real long week dude...)

Weekend Nuggets

A quick overview of some weekend gossip you may have missed because you were actually living your life for a few days instead of killing time at work...

Category: "I never saw that coming" - Brittney Jones (Ashton Kutcher's reported mistress) apparantly has a sex tape floating around according to Radaronline.com. Go figure... We are totally shocked seeing as how we figured the nude pictures of her covered in after-relations happiness were as far as this respectable young woman would allow herself to go.

Category: "I will stand here and SCREAM until you LISTEN to me!" - Michael Lohan goes batshit in a press conference after Lindsay is remanded to jail. Michael insists again (as he has done since the beginning of this situation) that Lindsay would be better served by utilizing a rehab program than being sent to jail. Lets take a moment to review some facts here: 1. Lindsay violated previous probation orders after her SCRAM bracelet showed alcohol consumption. 2. Lindsay has been charged with drug possession in the past. 3. Lindsay recently failed 2 court ordered drug screens which led up to these current circumstances. 4. We are too tired to continue to list these things as we are sure you get the point. Bottom line? We know it may not be a popular opinion, but maybe, just maybe, someone should listen to Michael on this one.
