Lindsay Lohan...pleads "No Contest" Blinded by the Bling! Jail time!

Lindsay Lohan has done an about-face and elected to pass on a long drawn-out trial on a charge of allegedly making off with a five-finger discount at a trendy retail outlet situated in picturesque Venice Beach (CA).

Earlier today, legal counsel appeared on her behalf at a Los Angeles courthouse to enter a surprise plea of “no contest”.

A sruprise because up-until-now, Ms. Lohan's handlers were adamant that she was inncoent, and that the "Mean Girls" star intended to have her day (well, another one, at least) in court.

The term is a fancy one – which usually masks the guilt surrounding an alleged crime – to allow a reluctant defendant to bow out gracefully.

When you factor in - Judicial Economy - it may have been a wise move on the part of her legal counsel in the final analysis.

The defendant is still considered convicted for all intents and purposes, but the plea may be challenged during an appeals process, if the defendant so desires.

A cynical few take the view that a defendant has not necessarily asserted his or her innocence - or admitted guilt - when they elect to plead "no contest".

In sum, the court is being given the nod to proceed with the disposition of the case.

On occasion, accused individuals plead no contest - because legal counsel has advised that in view of the facts and evidence on record - that the charges against the individual may be difficult to beat in an actual court-of-law.

In Lindsay Lohan’s case there is allegedly video footage of the troubled actress waltzing out of the retail store without paying for the merchandise.

Extenuating circumstances may have allowed for some wiggle room, especially with a competent attorney at the helm.

For example – Ms. Lohan’s team were within their rights to argue that the jewellery was on loan (or in the alternative argued that Ms. Lindsay simply tried on the piece of bling and forgot to return it to the clerk).

The fact her handlers returned the item once the incident was reported to the police - appeared to seal her fate in the eyes of the law, fans, and the public-at-large though - who were not easily hoodwinked.

Ms. Lindsay would have been better off arguing that she was a kleptomaniac – who needed therapy and counseling – and not hard time in the local slammer.

In response to the no contest plea, Ms. Lohan was sentenced to four months in jail.

In addition, the astute bench warmer ordered that the talented – but drug-addled actress – perform 480 hours of community service as well.

Lohan, was not required to appear in court today, but must report to jail on or before June 17th to fulfill her obligation to society.

However, at press time, insiders noted that Ms. Lohan may be eligible for house arrest which would require an electronic monitoring device on her person 24/7 to ensure the terms of the agreement are met.

Lohan was also ordered to complete much-needed therapy and is required to enroll in an anti-shoplifting program as well.
With this sorry chapter of her life closing in the near future, hopefully Ms. Lohan can get back to business as usual.

For instance, last month, Lohan landed her first feature film part since the whole fiasco began many moons ago, and is expected to go forward and co-star with John Travolta and Al Pacino.

The project is a film bio on John Gotti and the mob.

Lindsay Lohan...sentenced to 120 days in jail! Probation Violation!



Lindsay "brazen" according to Judge!



Poor Lindsay Lohan!

Today, on what was supposed to be "Good" Friday, the tables turned against her.

I guess you could say the down-on-her luck film star got crucified!

After the prosecutor submitted evidence to the court at a hearing today, and arguments were vigorously offered up by her defense lawyer, the Judge ruled against the "Mean Girls" star.

The bench warmer noted in open court that it was his finding that Lohan violated her probation.

In spite of the fact the charge on the "alleged theft of a necklace" was reduced to a misdemeanor, the troubled drug-adled starlet was sentenced to 120 days in jail for failing to abide by the terms of her probation.

In addition to the jail sentence, Ms. Lohan has been ordered to serve 400 hours of community service - most of which - must be completed at a woman's center.

In a curious twist, a portion of the community service must be completed at the local morgue.

Was the Judge sending a hint to Ms. Lohan?

"This is what may come to pass if you don't alter your path to self-destruction."

At the end of the hearing, the defendant was led away by a posse of bailiffs at the Courthouse.

Lohan's attorney, Shawn Holley, said she will appeal the ruling which will allow the actress to post bail which was set at $75,000

For those who weren't counting, this will be Lohan's fourth visit to the local pokey to serve time.

Lohan entered a not guilty plea in respect to the theft charge before she exited the courtroom.

Bottom line?

Sautner noted in court that he based the jail sentence on a determination that there had been intent.

 "I see a level of brazenness with - "Let me see what I can get away with here" - he stated matter-of-fact to the hushed courtroom.

Ms. Lohan sat stone-faced when the Judge issued the ruling.

Wonder what she's thinking behind bars tonight?

Lindsay Lohan...Mafia made offer Director couldn't refuse! Gotti tale to lens soon!

 



Well - there has been quite a flurry of frenzied industry and media attention around Lindsay Lohan over the past few days - in an arena where the sultry drug-adled actress aches for recognition!

The off-again on-again casting of Ms. Lohan in the John Gotti film bio has caused quite a few tongues to wag!

Wouldn't you agree?

Initially, the rumors circulated that the nose-candy taster- oh, so extraordinaire - might have been too much of an insurance risk for the brass at the studio to handle in the throes of her troubles with the long arm of the law.

If you're a Lindsay Lohan fan - or, even not, for that matter - then you're probably familiar with the ongoing saga (of soap opera proportions) that has dragged on in respect to the Gotti project.

Will she or won't she?

Play the role, silly!

The latest word from the director's chair is "yes". Well, sort of.

Although she wasn't cast in the challenging part she pined for, Lindsay will be using her considerable acting chops to carve out a niche for herself in a lesser role on the Gotti project.

Initially, the inexperienced auteur nixed bringing the "Mean Girls" star on board, on the grounds that Ms. Lohan's handlers were making too many demands on behalf of the sexpot.

But, in the end scenario, he capitulated.

Did some goon make him an offer he couldn't refuse?

Uh-huh!

There may have been some strings pulled behind-the-scenes - by Gotti's "people" - just betcha!

Think about it!

Last week, when John Travolta appeared on a night-time talk show to plug the flick, a few pertinent details slipped from his lips unexpectedly.

When asked if Lindsay was slated to play a role, the "Hairspray" star responded in no uncertain terms.

Not only was the frequent jailbird right for the part - the fact she grew up with the "Gotti's" - might factor in.

Did the Director wake up one morning with the head of his prize-winning horse on the pillow next to his nose totally out-of-whack?

Lindsay Lohan Rejects Plea Deal, Wears Mini Dress To Court (PHOTOS)

 LOS ANGELES – Lindsay Lohan rejected a plea agreement Thursday offered by prosecutors in a grand theft case that included a guaranteed return to jail.
The "Mean Girls" actress appeared in a Los Angeles courtroom and told a judge she agreed to delaying her case until a preliminary hearing when prosecutors will present evidence against her.
It was all she said during the brief proceeding.
The case was set for a preliminary hearing on April 22.
The exact terms of the deal were not disclosed, but Lohan was on probation in January when a Venice jewelry store accused her of taking a $2,500 necklace.
Lohan has pleaded not guilty to the charge.If Lohan is ordered to stand trial, Superior Court Judge Keith Schwartz has warned her that she may be sent to jail for violating her probation on a 2007 drunken driving case.
Lohan's return to court came days after surveillance footage was aired of her trying on necklaces at Kamofie & Co., which reported the necklace stolen on Jan. 22. The necklace was eventually given by a Lohan associate to detectives, who had already obtained a search warrant for the actress' Venice home.
"Entertainment Tonight" aired the footage, which showed Lohan texting, pacing and talking to a store clerk for nearly 45 minutes. The actress wore the necklace she is accused of stealing for roughly 25 minutes, according to the show, before the clerk escorted Lohan out, smiled and held a door open as she walked out.
The footage was obtained by a commercial images division of The Associated Press and licensed exclusively to "Entertainment Tonight."
Lohan's court troubles have long overshadowed her once-promising acting career. A former star in Disney films such as "Freaky Friday" and "Herbie Fully Loaded," her career has been stalled since she was arrested twice in 2007 and later charged with drunken driving and drug possession.
In the past 10 months, Lohan has been jailed twice and sent to rehab twice for probation violations. A judge ordered her to undergo three months of treatment at the Betty Ford Center, and it was within three weeks of her release that she was accused of stealing the necklace.

Lindsay Lohan...court documents sealed! Wheels of Justice turn slowly!



Lindsay Lohan trotted into court bright-and-early this morning to face the music, but - if anything - ended up participating in a hearing that amounted to little more than a brief intro of bigger things to come.

In fact, judging by the proceedings that took place in a Los Angeles courtroom today - and in view of all the ifs, ands or buts - it is fairly obvious at this juncture that the court-room drama is not going to be an open-and-shut case for either side.

For example, at one point, Lohan's attorney quizzed the Judge about one issue when she appeared to be perplexed by a ruling.

"Your honor, you said my motion was partly denied. Does that mean that it was partly granted?"

"Yes," the seasoned bench-warmer responded in the affirmative without hesitation.

Then, the hearing got curiouser and curiouser.

A court date was set for March 25th, for instance, but - whether the parties show up or not - depends on Lindsay's decision to accept or reject a plea offer.

Uh-huh!

Armchair viewers at home - without a law degree under the belt - may have trouble fathoming the particulars on television (unless they're fans of "Law & Order" or "Perry Mason").

Then, the Judge expressed his frustration over leaks in the legal proceedings - that have been baffling Los Angeles Superior Court officials in recent weeks - and running interference with his directives.

To help combat the dilemma, His Honor requested that Lohan's attorney submit all documentary evidence and legal briefs under seal - "for his eyes only"- in the future.

Golly, the details surrounding this felony charge are turning out to be intriguing top-secret-stuff!

Bottom line, it was gut-wrenching for folks seeking closure for Lindsay Lohan.

An outcome appears to be far off on the horizon down a long-and-winding bumpy road!

Stay posted for updates @ the Tattler!

Lindsay Lohan...cooking therapeutic! Trial looms on horizon!

Lindsay on path to recovery!

 

On a rare occasion, troubled starlet - Lindsay Lohan - threw open her doors and invited a film crew in to shoot an exclusive interview with "Extra" (Tabloid News Show).

In recent days, her handlers have run interference with the press - especially when it came to one-on-one interviews - in view of pending legal matters before the court.

In the comfy environs of her home near the beach, the "Mean Girls" star let it slip - for starters - that she loves to cook.

"I find it so therapeutic," she fessed up matter-of-fact.

The stylish sexpot doesn't appear to be packing on any extra flab, in spite of tasting the dishes, during the course of whipping 'em up.

In fact, in contrast to drug-addled bad-boy - Charlie Sheen - Ms. Lohan looked fresh-faced and relaxed as she spoke candidly before the camera.

Lohan, about half-way through the tell-all, was quick to underscore that she's anxious to get back to meaningful work.

Of course, that tough proposition will depend on the power-players in Tinsel Town (is she an insurance risk?) and a Judge presiding over an upcoming trial which looms on the horizon in respect to a felony charge of grand theft.

Ms. Lohan is quite adamant that she intends to "face the music" - and a take a shot at a played-out court-room drama - rather than accept a plea bargain which includes a stint at the local jail.

The ball may be in the recovering addict's court, though.

Over the weekend, it was revealed that her accusers may have sold an incriminating piece of evidence in the case (a video which allegedly caught Lohan in the act of lifting a one-of-a-kind piece of jewellery valued at $2500.00) which may have harmed their credibility and tainted the prospects of a guilty verdict at trial.

There may be some wiggle room for Ms. Lohan, after all!

Charlie Sheen "winning"?

Lindsay Lohan...stern Judge threatens jail time for troubled starlet!



Poor Lindsay Lohan!

This morning, the world of the naughty high-profile starlet came tumbling down, and she was suddenly left in a lurch between-a-rock & a-hard-place!

Uh-huh!

When the drug-addled tabloid-plagued beauty appeared before a crusty old bench-warmer (a hanging Judge?) bright-and-early (to answer to what some are calling a "trumped-up" felony charge arising from the alleged theft of a pricey one-of-a-kind necklace from a Venice storefront jeweller) she was in for an unexpected shock.

The Superior Court Judge - presiding over the much-publicized case - threatened that he would send the pretty actress (with a penchant for dressing inappropriately for court) to jail if she accepted a plea bargain offered by the prosecutor's office.

Although the terms of that deal were not made public, Judge Keith Schwartz underscored from the bench, that Lohan would have to plead guilty or "no contest" to a charge that she "lifted" a piece of merchandise without paying the ticket price.

If Lohan sauntered into court expecting a slap on the wrist, her expectations were not only sky-high - but, without doubt - unrealistic.

"This case involves jail time," bench-warmer Judge Schwartz gruffly informed the "Mean Girls" actress as she sat stone-faced next to legal counsel.

"If you plead in front of me - if this case resolves in front of me - you are going to jail. Period. It may be an issue as to the amount of time."

The surly old adjudicator sure was high on drama, wasn't he?

Period!

However, there is a glimmer of hope for Ms. Lohan.

Schwartz noted (no bones about it) - that if Lohan rejected the plea bargain - the case would be set for a preliminary hearing in front of another judge.

Will another Jurist show more mercy?

The light-fingered sexpot must cough up a decision by her next court appearance which is slated for March 10th.

Pretty is as pretty does!

Lindsay Lohan...pleads not guilty on felony charge of grand theft! Stay-away orders!

Lohan may have to sport fashions courtesy the local jailer!



Lindsay Lohan ran the media gauntlet once again - at the Airport Courthouse with jurisdiction over pending legal issues - to appear at an arraignment today on a grand theft felony charge in connection with the alleged disappearance of a pricey necklace.

Once again, the scripted material was pretty predictable.

Say what?

"Who me, guilty of theft?"

With little ado, Ms. Lohan informed the Judge presiding over the proceedings - Keith L. Schwartz - that she was most "not guilty".

Although his honor hinted that he might deny bail, he reneged on that promise.

A short while later, Ms. Lohan's bail was set at $40,000.00 smackeroos.

"You're in a different situation now that a felony has been filed against you," Schwartz told Lohan.

"You need to follow the laws just like everybody else. You're no different than anyone else, so please don't push your luck."

Because there appeared to be some effort on the part of "someone" (Lohan's handlers?) - to butter up the Venice Beach shopkeeper (flowers were delivered on the heels of the filing of the felony charge) - the Judge ordered the "Mean Girls" star to stay away from the premises in the future.

Lohan will trot back to court on Feb. 23.

The sexy thespian is no stranger to the law.

The troubled starlet is currently on probation for a misdemeanor drunk-driving conviction.

And, allegations that she twisted the arm of a worker at the Betty Ford Center, are still under investigation.

In the media frenzy that followed the announcement of Lohan's new run-in with the law, her attorney released a statement to the press, in which he stridently acknowledged that the actress would fight all criminal charges tooth-and-nail.

Meanwhile, legal analysts note that Lohan could be ordered to appear before a Judge in a Beverly Hills court in the near future, to determine whether the grand-theft charge constitutes a probation violation warranting jail time.

Airport Courthouse scene of latest media blitz!

Lindsay Lohan...to be charged in theft of pricey necklace! Arraignment tomorrow February 9th!

The allegations have been brewing for the past couple of weeks.

Eye-witnesses swear that they spied actress Lindsay Lohan adorned at-the-neck with a one-a-kind necklace - valued at $2500 - which mysteriously vanished from a jewellery store she frequented.

Shortly after TMZ and other news outlets hinted about the potential ten-finger-discount - an individual close to Lohan - apparently turned the sparkler over to authorites.

After a brief investigation of the facts, sources closes to the drama unfolding around the troubled starlet disclosed today, that a single count of felony grand theft will be filed at Airport Court in Los Angeles tomorrow morning (Wednesday)

The "Mean Girls" star is expected to be arraigned at 1:30 PM.

Apparently, it is mandatory that Ms. Lohan appear at the courthouse tomorrow.

If convicted, she could be sent to California State prison for a lengthy prison term.

Lindsay Lohan...crash lands SUV! Life's a beach!

The door became unhinged, I guess!

Though Lindsay Lohan has escaped the mean streets of LA LA LAND to tony climbs at a picturesque beach temporarily - it doesn't appear that the infamous recovering bimbo babe isn't out of harm's way - by a long shot! 

Go figure!

Taken aback by a posse of paparazz lolling about (LOL) on the well-manicured walkwayy outside her spanking-new digs - the dizzy starlet was inclined to shift into drive-by mode - to effect a mad dash for the open door of the garage on the lower level of the upscale condo unit.

What was intended to be a smooth maneuver - to avoid the prying press - ended up a comedy of errors.

Within minutes of cruising inside the garage (while the wheels were still smoking, dudes) the door tumbled down out-of-control (much like Ms. Lohan on a starry drug-laced Hollywood night) and smashed into the roof of the $130,000.00 SUV just "gifted" her.

Then - Eureka! - the door bounced up-and down-again without any rhyme or reason.

Uh-huh!

The loopy landing was all caught on camera- natch- by a TMZ photog who was on-the-ball.

Golly, those roving gossip mongers over at Harv's must have horseshoes up the a**, eh?

Talk about a scoop!

If it's any consolation to Lindsay, there wasn't one ghastly cactus bush in the vicinity to fall into!

But, the whole hilarious scenario begs the question.

Did the "Mean Girls" star fall off-the-wagon or is she just a lousy driver?

Lindsay Lohan..."Reform School Girls" next? B Movie limbo...

 

 

Lately, Lindsay Lohan's life has started to emulate a bad B Movie script, don't 'ya think?

One minute, the sexy starlett is struggling with her sanity (some would prefer she be trussed up in a straight jacket pronto), the next - she's giving a Judge the finger (well - ten - actually).

Now, it appears that Ms. Lohan is either in rehearsal for a flick about "Reform School Girls" - or just maybe - she's auditioning for the juicy role of "Frances Farmer" in an upcoming film bio.

Who knows?

According to insiders, Ms. Lohan assaulted a staff member at the Betty Ford Clinic, during her (um) respite from the after-hours night-club scene - at a resort for the humbled elite - who tend to be drug-adled or prone to gulp down a drinkie-pooh (or two) a tad too ambitiously!

Say it ain't so, Lindsay!

At a Press Conference yesterday, authorities confirmed that they responded to a 911 call - at which time - an employee of the infamous Betty Ford Drug Rehab Center accused the troubled show-biz personality of physical battery.

On the heels of the scandalous outburst - behave now, bitches! - the worker was terminated apparently.

But, the unexpected turn-of-events, only added grease to the fire!

"Wrongfully terminated," a lawyer has lamented to all within earshot.

The legal eagle has argued that the filing of a police report does not rise to the level of a breach of confidentiality, after all.

Picky! Picky! Picky!

His client only seeks compensation for her injuries (and the insult), after all!

What position does management at the reputable Betty Ford Clinic take?

"The worker violated patient confidentiality by speaking with the media," a spokesperson asserted for the record, without batting a sober eye.

A little bird tells me Ms. Lohan may be trotting back to Court in the event the incident is construed as a breach of her probation.

Lindsay Lohan...trots back to rehab! Slammer eludes fallen star!

As curious onlookers gazed on, a Superior Court Judge ordered an emotional teary-eyed Lindsay Lohan back to rehab at the Betty Ford Center, until the first week of January.

When the verdict was first read, the once-drug-addled starlet broke down and sobbed.

Then, the high-profile celeb managed to utter up a breathy "thank you" to the Jurist presiding over the proceedings.

Once again, Ms. Lohan escaped the clutches of the local jailer.

The prosecutor recommended a six-month jail term as penalty for her failure to pass a drug test several weeks ago, which the bench-warmer presiding over the proceedings wisely rejected.

But, Ms. Lohan did not escape the court's wrath entirely.

Judge Eden Fox cautioned the troubled starlet to refrain from engaging in manipulative tactics in the future.

"I'm giving you one final chance to stay clean," Eden noted for the record.

“You’re staying past the New Year’s - there’s a reason for that,” Fox quipped.

Lohan is due back in court on February 25.
