We understand how Lindsay Lohan feels – there are days when you just have to erratically chase the mother of the assistant who just quit in a car, drunk and with cocaine in your pockets, until you're arrested for the second time in weeks.
That's just human nature, and there's nothing wrong with it. But Lindsay Lohan is always made an example of when she gets arrested for getting into angry, drunk, drug-possessing car chases, probably by those who are jealous of her beauty, acting skills and ability to have sex with the balding sons of dead alcoholic footballers. But that's all by the by now; the fact is that Lindsay Lohan got arrested for DUI a week after she left rehab – where she was staying after being arrested for DUI in the first place – and the big question is which comes first for Lindsay Lohan now: the mandatory jail sentence or the obligatory spell back in rehab? So long as it's not a movie studio, we're all winners really.
It's a well-known rehab mantra that you have to hit rock-bottom before you can progress with your recovery. But Lindsay Lohan is living proof that the mantra is false. You may have thought rock bottom came when Lindsay Lohan admitted she was bulimic, or when she passed out on that movie set, or when she suddenly found McFly worthy of sex – but Lindsay Lohan punched through those rock bottoms like Chuck Norris.
And most people would consider crashing your car on drugs only to have your friends and family tell the world you're suicidal and hooked on OxyContin to be a kind of rock bottom, but not Lindsay Lohan. Going to rehab once wasn't good enough for Lindsay Lohan. Going to rehab twice wasn't good enough for Lindsay Lohan. Promising to stay in rehab forever wasn't good enough for Lindsay Lohan. But now that she's been arrested for DUI again with a bunch of cocaine in her pocket, perhaps Lindsay Lohan is ready to maybe admit that she's possibly got a teensy bit of a problem. And since The Daily Dish reports that Lindsay's heading back to rehab again, maybe it's sinking in:
Lindsay Lohan is heading back to rehab just days after completing a lengthy stay at Promises in Malibu, Calif. The news comes after the troubled actress was arrested for drunk driving and drug possession on Tuesday morning. Lohan was pulled over by police after she was reported for driving erratically through the streets of Santa Monica in hot pursuit of a car being driven by the mother of an assistant, who quit on Monday. Police have confirmed the former assistant's mother was the person who reported Lohan, calling authorities on her cellphone.
However, rehab is the least of Lindsay Lohan's worries, because this latest DUI arrest came mere days after she was officially charged with DUI from the last time she was arrested. And that means Lindsay Lohan is going to jail, and not just with a weedy Paris Hilton-style sentence, either. ABC reports that Lindsay Lohan might go to jail for years:
If convicted of all the charges against her, Lohan faces up to several years in prison, though criminal defense lawyers said she would get far less jail time, if any. "She is in a world of hurt," said Steven Cron, a criminal defense lawyer in Santa Monica. "Any judge is going to want to make sure she's off the streets for a while. I think she faces a substantial amount of jail time." … Driving with a suspended license, when the suspension was for drunken driving, carries a mandatory 10-day jail sentence under California law. But the drug charges lodged against Lohan raise the possibility of significant jail time, though lawyers said the exact amount would be impossible to predict.
Predictions for how long Lindsay Lohan will spend in jail range from the mandatory ten days to up to three years, although an agreed figure looks to be anywhere between 30 and 180 days. However, the judge could be lenient on Lindsay Lohan and just hit her with a order to attend a drug treatment program instead of a jail sentence.
Maybe he'll even give Lindsay Lohan an alcohol-monitoring ankle bracelet. Those seem to work really well, don't they.

LOL, who cares? I don’t. I like her movies, especially when she’s sober. But if she wants to be Paris Hilton then more power to her.
And why mention jail sentence? Ummm…we have seen where that is going to end.
Kelly says
Lohan and the many other celebs going through the revolving door at “Promises” is certainly proof that their so-callled “rehab” program is totally bogus and ineffective. Why anyone would even consider a stay there is beyond me.
amanda says
Even though I admit that I’m being really lame for even being interested in a celebrity thread (and then going as far to comment on it)… don’t you think you’re being a little harsh? Put yourself in her shoes for a minute. She has an INSANE lifestyle that normal people like us could never comprehend. But yeah… that was still pretty stupid what she did….
/haha okay that’s all
Chris says
So another bimbo with big tits goes off the deep end? Who cares? She and Britney Spears — a pair of spoiled children who deserve whatever they get. Either they’ll clean up their act, which would be fine — or they won’t and they’ll end up OD’d on some street corner. Again, who cares?
James says
She should change the name of her new movie from “I Know Who Killed Me” to “I Know Who Killed My Career, Me”.
Lizzie in LA says
Speaking of wanting to be Paris Hilton… Madame Tussaud’s has just tarted up their Lindsay Lohan figure in jailbird togs (ha!) which apparently are hand-me-downs from Paris Hilton’s figure last month:

Natalie says
The only movie i sorta liked that she stared in was “The Parent Trap”. All the other movies i didn’t evn notice she was in! When i heard that she was going to jail for drunk driving, i asked my dad if that was true! And my sister didn’t like the news!
