« Today's News: Our Take
Lindsay Lohan, Busted for New DUI, Returns to Rehab; Dad Hopes for Rebound
Lindsay Lohan by Steve Granitz/WireImage.com
I could have told you that the "alcohol-monitoring bracelet" was merely two old garage-door remotes held together with a strip of Velcro. Lindsay Lohan was pulled over in Santa Monica, California, early Tuesday morning after being spied chasing the Escalade of her former assistant — who had just resigned — with her Denali, TMZ.com reports. Lohan was subsequently arrested for driving under the influence (her blood alcohol level tested around .12), possession of cocaine, transporting a narcotic into a custodial facility (i.e., carrying coke into the police station) and driving on a suspended license. This marks LiLo's second DUI bust in three months — but only her first after really, really making a go of it for six weeks in rehab.
Lohan, released on $25,000 bail, was to drop by Tuesday evening's The Tonight Show to promote her stripper thriller I Know Who Killed Me, but an NBC rep confirms for TVGuide.com, "Lindsay is no longer scheduled to appear on tonight's show." Not to worry, Larry King will come along soon enough. (I've read this story before.)
Lohan, TMZ reports, has returned to rehab, though not at Promises but an undisclosed facility.
Lohan's father, Michael, is bearing some of the brunt for how far his daughter has fallen, telling TV's Extra, "I know I'm responsible for part of this. I acted the same way myself. Lindsay is being torn from her family... running in all the wrong directions." That said, he holds out hope that Lindsay can clean up her act, saying, "Yes, I think she can rebound. We can use tragedy and turn it into triumph. I think Lindsay will do that."

Take your pick: She was framed. That wasn't the real Lindsay Lohan, that was an impersonator. Someone unknowingly swapped her Red Bull with Tequila. That cocaine was really baking powder she had borrowed from a friend so she could make a cake. OR... She's getting ready to make a movie where she's a cocaine addicted alcoholic.

WOW!
Her next movie can be:
I KNOW WHO KILLED MY CAREER!
stupid stupid stupid
OR:
I KNOW WHO'S GOING TO JAIL
Good thing she likes girls! They will be waiting for her.
I think she is going to get a lot more than 23 days. Paris must feel better!

This isn't news. A day when Lindsey Lohan WASN'T arrested for DWI - THAT would be news!

Put her in jail without bail before she recklessly gets herself killed, or worse someone else.

Not sure what is wrong with 'young' Hollywood. They are a few very stupid girls making them all look bad. Thankfully there are still lots of girls living life in a good way. Hope this is it for this particular girl. I'm getting tired of hearing about her and her stupidity.

Yes, enough with Lindsay Lohan, as well as Paris Hilton and Britney Spears. All of them need to be locked away where they pose no danger to anyone else.

Face it - the only ones who are serious about getting sober go to Betty Ford. While you're not exactly sleeping on rice patties in a tent, from what I understand from interviews with Betty Ford herself it's not supposed to be a luxury resort, either. Seems that rehab shouldn't be something you look forward to to get out of work.

WHAT A MORON!!!
I'm so disappointed in her. I guess I was one of the few who was really rooting for her--I mean hey, she DID do the six weeks in rehab!!! Why didn't she just hire a driver if she was gonna JUMP off the wagon??!!??

as sick as it sounds, I bet Dina Lohen is looking forward to all the attention she'll get when Lindsay dies in a drug/alcohol related car crash.
Lindsay needs an adult to step up and help save her life - Lindsay obviously can't do it on her own.

If I'm not mistaken, Lindsay has a younger and brother and sister. Wonder how Dina is going to screw them up.
