Linnocent’s sentenced to 120 days in jail

Lindsay pled not guilty to the misdemeanor charge. BUT -she doesn’t have to go jail now, first she gets her crack trial. The pretrial date is May 11th, and the trial date is June 3rd, and the trial verdict will set the penalty for both the theft charge and the probation violation.By the way, Hollywood Life has all kinds of interesting little side notes and tangents about Linnocent’s behavior during the hearing. Here are some interesting parts:

Lindsay Lohan is in court today for her felony grand theft trial over her alleged theft of a $2500 necklace. Unfortunately, a preliminary hearing for a felony is still not enough to keep Lindsay somber. She’s been laughing and texting while in court all morning!Lindsay walked into court this morning and immediately asked to go to the bathroom. Once the trial started, our eyewitness tells us Lindsay was constantly texting on her phone. She even laughed at her own lawyer when Shawn Holley mistakenly asked the court transcriber rather than the judge to repeat a question. She laughed again when the defense attorney called her witnesses up to the stand, giggling at the store owner.She has been repeatedly looking at her phone all morning, picking at her nails and sometimes whispering into Shawn’s ear when she disagrees with the witness testimony.Lindsay Lohan isn’t the only one acting inappropriately at her felony grand theft court case today, her lawyer Shawn Chapman Holley has been creating quite the stir! During the first half of the preliminary hearing today in Los Angeles, the D.A. called Kamofie & Co. store owner Sofia Kaman to the stand as well as a store employee, Tinelli Comsooksri, who was there the day Lindsay allegedly stole the necklace. When Shawn Holley started cross-examining owner Sofia Kaman, she kept harping on Lindsay’s cleavage!“When she wasn’t on her phone, Lindsay jotted down a few notes while Sofia took the stand. Sofia explained the store did not receive any money from the supposed $25,000 sale of the surveillance tape. She also expressed her belief that Lindsay’s friend Patrick acted as a decoy while the duo were shopping,” explains our spy.“Judge Stephanie Sautner had her eyes locked on Lindsay during Shawn’s cross examination.

When Shawn asked why the store had security cameras the owner responded ‘Because of theft,’ and Lindsay looked surprised when everybody in the courtroom laughed. But then, things got a little odd.”

How so?

“Shawn kept grilling the owner different ways about whether or not she was looking at Lindsay’s breasts, since Lindsay was wearing a low-cut top. The witness insisted she never looked at Lindsay’s cleavage. Shawn was trying to make the point that if you saw her breasts, you saw her necklace, which means Lindsay was allowed to take it and didn’t steal it. At one point the witness started arguing with Shawn, and she looked very unprepared.”So how did Lindsay feel about this line of questioning? “She looked very uncomfortable while they were talking about her breasts. Shortly after they broke for lunch and Lindsay was escorted by eight security guards to go to the bathroom. She then ordered chinese food and went to the bathroom again, where she ran into her father Michael and they had a cordial chat.”

Lindsay Lohan

Lindsay Lohan is an American actress, pop singer and model. She began her career as a child fashion model before making her motion picture debut in Disney's 1998 remake of The Parent Trap at the age of 11. Lohan gained further fame between 2003 and 2005 with leading roles in the films Freaky Friday, Mean Girls and Herbie: Fully Loaded, subsequently appearing in independent films including Robert Altman's A Prairie Home Companion and Emilio Estevez's Bobby.

Her career was interrupted in 2007 as two driving under the influence incidents and three visits to rehabilitation facilities led to the loss of several movie deals. Resuming her career, she guest starred in the TV series Ugly Betty in 2008, starred in the 2009 comedy Labor Pains, and appeared in Robert Rodriguez's Machete in 2010. Lohan launched a second career in pop music in 2004 with the album Speak and followed up with A Little More Personal in 2005. She has attracted significant publicity, particularly surrounding her personal life.

Lindsay Lohan sentenced to FOUR months in jail as judge rules she violated probation

By Daily Mail Reporter


-Lohan plans to appeal decision and will be allowed to post bail - set at $75k
-Actress in tears as preliminary necklace theft case reaches climax
-Judge reduces felony grand theft charge to a misdemeanour

Back to jail: Lindsay Lohan arrives at the LAX courthouse in Los Angeles today for the preliminary hearing into her necklace case. After hearing evidence against her a judge ruled she had violated her probation and sentenced her to four months in jail


Lindsay Lohan has been sentenced to 120 days in jail for a probation violation after a judge heard evidence against the actress in her necklace theft case.

The actress's lawyer Shawn Chapman said she will appeal the ruling, which will allow the actress to post bail, which was set at $75,000

Judge Stephanie Sautner also ordered Lohan to serve more than 400 hours of community service, including 300 hours at a women's center.

The ruling came after Sautner reduced Lohan's grand theft case down to a misdemeanor and after prosecutors gave their case against the actress.

It will be Lohan's fourth jail stint.

Sautner refused to dismiss the theft case against Lohan, but said she often sees more serious cases that get reduced to lesser charges.

'I see the intent here,' Sautner said. 'I see a level of brazenness with "Let me see what I can get away with here.'''

Sautner ruled that prosecutors had shown that Lohan violated her probation, but also said in reducing the charge that she was going to give the actress 'an opportunity.'

Lohan formally entered a not guilty plea at Friday's hearing. She is next due back in court on May 11 for a pre-trial hearing with the trial scheduled for June 3.

The 'Mean Girls' star arrived at the courthouse wearing a black long-sleeve shirt, blue trousers and a scarf.

Her father Michael Lohan was also in attendance and took a front row seat inside the court - where cameras have been banned.

The news came during a dramatic day at the LAX courthouse in Los Angeles, which culminated in Lohan breaking down in tears.

Various witnesses were brought to the stand throughout the day, including the owner of the jewellery store, the store clerk and the investigating officer from the LAPD.

Judge Sautner dismissed the motion to drop the case altogether, according to internet reports.

But it seems Lindsay's lawyer, Shawn Chapman, has managed to persuade the judge that the necklace was worth far less than $2,500.

Under California law, a crime only becomes grand theft if the value of the stolen goods exceeds $950.

Preliminary hearing: The actress wore a black top, Navy blue trousers teamed with an off-white scarf and wore her hair in an updo. She was accompanied by her lawyer Shawn Chapman, who wore a red dress


During the hearing Chapman had aruged the necklace was worth less than $2,500.

Furthermore Sofia Kaman, the owner of Kamofie & Co. - the Los Angeles jewellery store which Lohan allegedly stole from - admitted the store's mark-up price was two to three times that of the wholesale price.

The district attorney in the case, Jeanette Meyers, has said she will appeal the judges decision to reduce Lohan's charge from a grand theft to a misdemeanour, RadarOnline reports.

Earlier, jewellery store owner Ms Kaman told the court she waited a day before reporting the necklace as stolen because the actress told her she would return later.

Taking to the witness stand she testified at Lohan's preliminary hearing, telling the court it took 10 minutes before she realised the actress had left wearing the necklace.

She said she waited to report the necklace missing to polcie because Lohan had told her she would return the next day to buy a ring.

Lohan, 24, has been accused of taking the necklace in January without permission.

Lohan has been a courthouse fixture since last May when she missed a hearing in her drunken driving case.

Since then, two judges have sent her to jail twice and rehab, also twice.

On Wednesday, Fiore Films announced it had cast the actress to play the wife of John Gotti Jr., the son of the infamous mob boss dubbed the 'Teflon Don,' in a biopic of the family.

The project, title, 'Gotti: Three Generations,' is scheduled to begin shooting later this year in Lohan's native New York.

In an interview with the AP, Lohan said she was eager to put her court cases behind her and once again be known as an actress.

'I'm really excited to be back on set and clear up all the misinterpretations about me and show this is what I love to do,' Lohan said.

'I think in the past, I had a lot of distractions,' she said. 'I've learned a lot. I've lived a lot. When I'm on set, it's about the film.'

Lindsay Lohan is out of the Gotti biopic already

Well Lindsay and her people have been bragging about how she got a real job despite the fact that she’s uninsurable and and incredible liability in that she didn’t show up to work back when she was much more sober than she is. No one knows when and for how long Lindsay will be going to jail (I’m an optimist and am not going to write “if” she’s going) and when she’ll get into trouble next. Her dad went to prison with John Gotti’s son, though, and used his mafia ties to get his trainwreck daughter a role. Who knows what kind of favors the Gottis owed the Lohans.

Lindsay was set to play a “younger” Victoria Gotti, she had Victoria’s blessing and everything despite looking older and harder than she does, but the very guy who just sung Lindsay’s praises, producer Marc Fiore, totally backtracked and said she’s not in at all. He told People that they’re looking to recast that part and it sounds like Lindsay’s team (i.e. her mom and dad) were difficult as hell to deal with. The last director is rumored to have been adamantly opposed to hiring Lindsay, and he recently left so the door was wide open for her, but she swung it shut with her grossly inflated sense of entitlement, just as she’s done her entire career.

“We are not talking any further about Lindsay playing Victoria,” says Marc Fiore, producer of Gotti: Three Generations.

“She is no longer being considered. The talks have stopped. We are going to meet with other people [for the role] 

”But just last week, it seemed almost a sure thing when Lohan popped up at the movie’s April 12 press conference and looked strikingly like Victoria Gotti. Even John Travolta, who’s playing Gotti Sr., in the yet-to-be-made flick said, “I always thought she was gorgeous and talented.”So is Lohan just too expensive and troublesome to insure with all of her past legal troubles?For now it’s omerta for Fiore, who would not explain why she’s been “bumped off.”“She a wonderful person,” he tells PEOPLE. “Her legal case has nothing to do with it. We just couldn’t reach terms.”

This girl’s career was over a few years ago. When even her dad’s prison mob connections can’t score her a role as a woman she resembles remarkably in both looks and character, (no offense to Victoria Gotti) you know there’s no hope for her.

Lindsay Lohan crack-hustles her way into a photo-op with the Gottis

Lindsay Lohan crack-hustles her way into a photo-op with the Gottis

Oh GOD. These are new photos from some kind of press conference for the new film Gotti: Three Generations. As you know, John Travolta has signed on to play the infamous Teflon Don. And Lindsay Lohan has been doing everything (and everyone) possible to nab the role of Victoria Gotti. So… Linnocent and John Travolta were at this press conference, with John Gotti Jr. and Victoria. The photos are… amazing…? Linnocent looks ROUGH. It’s mostly the really cheap makeup application, but it’s also… some work? Botox, maybe. She now looks OLDER than Mother Crackhead.

    Separated at birth? Not quite, but if Lindsay Lohan wants to play Victoria Gotti in an upcoming film about the famous family, Gotti: Three Generations, the actress certainly looked the part. Rumors have been circulating that Lohan, 24, is gunning for the role, and her appearance at a press event Tuesday in New York did noting to dispel chatter.

    “Lindsay is a terrific actress,” said Marc Fiore, the movie’s producer, at the event at the Sheraton Hotel, which also drew out Lohan’s mother, Dina. “Nothing has been finalized, but we are definitely in talks.”

    And while Lohan hasn’t locked down the role, Victoria Gotti is a fan.

    “I think she’s incredible,” Gotti said. “I think she’s a great actress. I think she can do … any role, really.”

    “I’ve always said that to her mom [Dina] when we met many years ago,” Gotti continued. “Just watching her in The Parent Trap, I thought was adorable and she’s a good kid.”

    Gotti: Three Generations is set to be directed by Nick Cassavetes, and John Travolta has already signed on to play Victoria’s father, John Gotti, a mobster who was the boss of the Gambino crime family in New York City. Travolta’s daughter, Ella Bleu, has also been cast in the film, though her exact role hasn’t been announced. And Joe Pesci has been confirmed to play Angelo Ruggiero, John Gotti’s second in command.

    “I know first hand that Lindsay Lohan happens to be a big fan of mine,” Travolta said at the event. “I’ve always thought she was gorgeous and talented and filled with a lot of depth. So, I think that whatever she would like to do would be great with me.”

    And Victoria adds that Lohan has lots of fans and supporters.

    “She had a little bit of a bumpy road recently,” she said. “I think she’s doing great; I think she’s going to continue to do great and she’s got a lot of people rooting for her.”

[From People]

I can’t imagine being in a position where someone is going to play me in a movie, but if that day ever comes, I will never understand how someone would willingly choose Linnocent to play them. And at the end of the day, I don’t really see how the mob is going to be happy about Mr. Spa Dong Travolta, either. Whatevs. Fuggedaboutit.

Lindsay Lohan Dodges Charges In Rehab Fight

Lindsay Lohan Dodges Charges In Rehab Fight

Well, something is working out for Lindsay Lohan! The Riverside County District Attorney (where the Betty Ford Center is located) has decided not to press charges for the fight between Lindsay and a worker.

“We are not filing any charges in the Lindsay Lohan case due to insufficient evidence,” DA spokesman John Hall tells PEOPLE.

It must be a relief not to have to worry about that anymore, at least. Now Lindsay can focus on her felony grand theft trial.

Lindsay Lohan Has Been Partying in NYC

Lindsay Lohan Has Been Partying in NYC

 Work hard, party hard for Lindsay Lohan? Sure, if working hard means court dates and trying to save your career. But Lilo took some time off from all of that last week in NYC, where she was seen out at seven different hotspots in just four days.

At the nightclub Riff Raff, one onlooker says she was "with a girlfriend and she was clutching onto her signature can of Red Bull. She was definitely in a partying mood."

Red Bull is non-alcoholic, and it does give you wings, so we aren't going to hold it against her quite yet.

A clubgoer at 10ak later that night insists she was sober:  "She was in a great mood having a good time catching up with friends, dancing. She was under a microscope because people were waiting to see if she was going to drink, but she didn't," the source said.

But others seem to think she was indeed hitting the bottle...

"Saturday night at [new restaurant] Beauty & Essex, Lindsay was at a table with her brother and sister," the source says. "She was ordering and drinking cocktails, texting nonstop, taking pictures and acting a little crazy."

What we can confirm is she noshed on lobster tacos, chicken-truffle meatballs and nori-spiced tuna. Who needs liquor when you get those kinds of snacks?

Lindsay Lohan: I Do Not Drink, Period!

Lindsay Lohan: I Do Not Drink, Period!

 

On the heels of reports that Lindsay Lohan is hitting the bottle (of slightly alcoholic tea) comes a story of her hitting the New York club scene this week.

We're talking about at least two different bars - the super high-end 1-Oak nightclub and the Simyone Lounge - back in her LiLo's East Coast haunts.

Lohan insists, though, that she didn't order a single drink and was not sipping on anything alcoholic. Moreover, she simply doesn't drink. At all. Ever.

Lindsay Lohan tells TMZ matter-of-factly: "I did not drink, period. I do not drink, period."

As for the wisdom of a known substance abuser going to nightclubs whose primary purpose on this earth is to serve booze, that's another story.

"I went to SL with my friend who owns it," was her only explanation for that.

While we believe Lindsay Lohan probably wasn't tanked, this sort of thing just isn't smart for an addict, and won't help with the ol' probation report.

What do you think: Can Lindsay Lohan ever stay clean?

Lindsay Lohan Pondering Plea Deal

Lindsay Lohan Pondering Plea Deal

Lindsay Lohan was in court again today to schedule a preliminary hearing for April 22nd. Judge Keith Schwartz is giving Lilo an interim hearing though on March 25 where she will inform the judge if she plans to accept a confidential plea deal, or plead guilty or no contest. Judge Schwartz said;

“The only reason you’ll be here is to plead guilty or no contest to the charge and accept the parameters of the court’s offer,”
“If you and your attorney decide not to settle this case before prelim, you do not have to appear on March 25.”

Lindsay’s lawyer told UsMagazine.com that;

“Events are constantly evolving, it is a fluid process.”
“I’m pleased my motion was partially granted.”

It looks like there’s a chance she’s going to be facing jail time one way or another. Do you think she should accept the plea?
