The day unfolded all too familiarly for Lindsay Lohan: a court hearing, a jail sentence, a quick release. The starlet appeared before a judge Friday for the fourth time in nearly a year and was sentenced to 120 days for violating her probation by taking a designer necklace. Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Stephanie Sautner said she thought the actress had intentionally taken the $2,500 necklace from an upscale Venice store and shown poor judgment in not trying to return it until police became involved. The judge reduced the actress' charge from felony grand theft to a misdemeanor and imposed...

Lindsay has been remanded into custody and taken to the basement of the courthouse for booking. Lindsay's lawyer has said she'll appeal, which means Lindsay is entitled to post bail. Lohan was also ordered to complete 480 hours of community service -- 360 of those hours must be performed at the Downtown Women's Center, so Lindsay can see how needy women have to live. The remaining 120 hours will be served at the L.A. County morgue. Judge Sautner explained that Lindsay should have called the store and notified the owners about the necklace sooner. She waited several weeks and returned...

Ann Coulter said Sarah Palin shouldn’t run for President, and in recent weeks Coulter has been in huge favor of Gov. Chris Christie running for President. Ann Coulter believes that if Christie doesn’t run for President, Mitt Romney will win the Nomination and lose to Obama. “I especially love her for her enemies, I’m insanely jealous of that,” Coulter said. “I love her for how she makes liberal heads explode. I think it would be a step down for her to run for president,” Coulter said, adding that she admires Palin. “She’s huge. She has enormous power. She sends out...

A prison minister is reaching out for the third time to child-actress-turned-troubled-celebrity Lindsay Lohan, who has battled DUI, felony grand theft, and drug charges. In his latest letter to the “Mean Girls” star, Marty Angelo, who himself was arrested in 1980 for two counts of cocaine possession, said he is “saddened” to see her face yet another formal charge. “Lindsay, I am speaking to you today as not just a prison minister and friend of your father but as a person who has traveled down the same road you are on,” writes Angelo in a letter released Thursday. “I know...

Lohan was scheduled to appear in court later on Wednesday for an arraignment on the single felony count.

Lindsay Lohan has been fired from Inferno, the Linda Lovelace biopic, following her numerous stints in rehab, legal troubles, and generally unreliable behavior. Writer-director Matthew Wilder has been shockingly supportive up to this point, waiting patiently while the 24-year-old former actress’ countless attempts to overcome her addictions to drugs and alcohol. A cynical person might think Wilder was using her for the free publicity, since the movie’s title made an appearance in almost every story about Lohan’s personal decline and disappearing career.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – Fresh out of rehab and a 13-day stint in jail, Lindsay Lohan returned to Twitter on Thursday -- and blasted the paparazzi who have been following her every move. "Clearly.. Paparazzi shouldn't be allowed to take pictures or video while someone's driving or at a stop light. 4every1's sake," Lohan said in her first Tweet since the eve of being locked up on July 20.

Lindsay Lohan is due back in court Tuesday to surrender for a 90-day jail sentence that is likely to be whittled down by overcrowding and other credits.

“Important” events happened recently to two women. The relative attention paid and press coverage about the two tells a lot about where we are as a nation, and it isn’t good. The two women are Lindsay Lohan and Pam Murphy. All of you know that Lindsay Lohan is a spoiled, self-centered, self-destructive twit who was just sentenced to 90 days in jail for multiple instances of contempt of court. But how many of you know who Pam Murphy was? Let’s not always see the same hands. Pam Murphy was the widow of Audie Murchy, the most decorated US soldier from...

She was the oh-so-cute child star who grew up into a troubled teenage movie queen leading a life of wild excess - even by Hollywood standards. But in an LA court on Tuesday it came tumbling down for actress Lindsay Lohan, 24, who broke down as she was sentenced to three months in prison for breaking the terms of her probation. Here, in pictures and Lindsay's words (with a little imaginative help from Claudia Connell), we chart the highs and lows of her crazy life ...

If you somehow aren’t aware of what message a middle finger is meant to convey, Lindsay Lohan will spell it out for you. Literally. Although Lohan told Judge Marsha Revel that she did respect the court during her hearing on Tuesday, celebrity blog WWTDD caught the 24-year-old actress wearing a profane manicure, with “[expletive] u” was written on top of the nail polish on her middle finger. (Although it's quite a fashion statement, we removed the offensive language in the photo above.)

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. – A judge on Tuesday found Lindsay Lohan in violation of probation in a 2007 drug case after prosecutors said she failed to attend court-ordered alcohol education classes.

She has been required to wear an ankle alcohol monitor since then.

"A waitress just hit me -- punched me for no reason," Lindsay Lohan wrote on Twitter around 1 a.m. Friday. The now 24-year-old actress was out at the club Voyeur in West Hollywood, rolling over from the night before her July 2 birthday, when a server popped her, according to US Weekly. The mag cites a person in the know who says the alleged puncher had "a history" with Doug Reinhardt, whom Lohan "was hanging out with" at the club. Until, you know, he scooted to the other side of the booth to avoid the mess. So clearly, on the...

At this point in her career, Lindsay Lohan might have enough star power to land a small film role — as with her upcoming turn in Robert Rodriguez's "Machete" — but it seems some in Hollywood have gotten cold feet about hiring the actress. After firing her from "The Other Side" over the weekend, writer/director David Michaels explained the decision by saying Lohan is "not bankable." "The producers of the movie have reported that financiers have been resistant to finance the movie with Lindsay in the lead role," he told E! News. At press time, a rep for Lohan had...

Lindsay Lohan is in the news again, and this time she's posing as Jesus Christ on the Spring-Summer 2010 cover of Purple Fashion magazine. (published in France - oh don't you just love the French!) This girl seems to invite criticism and controversy into her life every way possible. Lindsay Lohan was once known as an aspiring actress and a singer, now she is known as a drunkard and a lesbian - but I guess that just wasn't enough. In case you don't see the resemblence in the picture, or think "Certainly that is not who she is imitating", upon...
