Hollywood's Grand Dame of Gossip and Style
Lindsay Lohan ended up crashing a party over the weekend – However, it might not be for the reason you think! While on vacation in Hawaii, Lindsay misplaced her $5,000 Chanel purse. And my misplaced, I mean the purse was stolen! Inside the bag was her passport, important probation docs, and a boatload of cash – $10,000 to be exact.
Lindsay Lohan was seen out enjoying her freedom and doing a bikini shoot in Miami earlier this week. Now she is confined to her home for the next couple weeks, as she reported to authorities today to begin her ankle monitoring and house arrest.
As expected, Lindsay Lohan’s attorney, Shawn Holley, entered a no-contest plea today to a misdemeanor grand theft charge. Holley entered the plea on behalf of Lohan, who did not appear in court.
In her first interview since her latest jail stint, Lindsay Lohan stopped by Jay Leno yesterday to tape an appearance for ‘The Tonight Show‘ set to air tonight. Leno reportedly asked Lohan about touchy subjects including her court appearance and brief jailing, her family, and what she’s learned from her experiences.
Lindsay Lohan will be back in court Friday. That’s when her preliminary hearing will start for the felony charge she received earlier this year. A Venice Beach jewelry store claims that Lindsay left the store wearing a necklace worth $2500.
The Lohan family never ceases to amaze me with their stupidity! Between Lindsay’s sticky fingers, among other things, and mom Dina’s attempts at pimping out her family to whatever media outlet will take two second to listen, they are quite the set of characters. Lindsay’s father Michael Lohan just loves being in the news and sometimes I think he does crazy things just to keep his 15 minutes of fame going. Michael has a violent past – He was abusive towards Dina during their marriage, while his former girlfriends, Kate Major and Erin Mueller, also accused him of violence. Micheal must be a repeat offender because he was arrested last night for domestic violence.
Last night, Major came into the West Hollywood police station to report the incident that happened at their nearby apartment. Apparently Major, who hasn’t lived with Michael at the apartment in some time, came by to pick up some of her belongings that were left behind.
Per TMZ:
We’re told Michael became upset that Kate was packing up for good, and “went ballistic.” They started arguing, and Kate turned her back on him. She told cops, Michael then grabbed her and threw her across the room. Kate says she struck the bedpost with her left shoulder.
When she threatened to call the cops – it just added fuel to Michael’s fire… He then allegedly took a towel and began choking her, while threatening to cut himself with a razor blade and saying he would blame it on her. According to police, suffered minor injuries, but refused medical attention from Los Angeles County Fire Department paramedics at the scene.
As for Michael, he was picked up by police shortly after while walking on Santa Monica Blvd. During the booking process Michael complained of chest pains – how convenient, eh? – and has been admitted to the hospital. He has been charged with inflicting corporal injury on a co-habitant, false imprisonment, and preventing the report of victimization, all of which are felonies. Once he is released from the hospital, Michael will then go back to the Sheriff’s Station to finish his booking, where his bail has been set at $200,000. Michael is already on probation so this could mean he’s heading back to jail. Perhaps he and Lindsay could have a father/daughter cell?

Lindsay Lohan was back in court this morning. There were rumors that she may plead either guilty or no contest, but her lawyer asked for some more time to mull over last-minute negotiations that took place yesterday with her lawyer, the D.A., and Judge Schwartz. So Lindsay now has two more scheduled court dates.
Per TMZ:
Lindsay Lohan’s judge is pissed … that TMZ got information about his sentencing recommendation even though he wanted it held confidential … this, as he has given Lindsay more time to mull over his sentencing offer that WILL involve jail time.
The Judge was upset not only because Lindsay was a bit late to court, but also that the information shared during the meeting is his quarters was leaked out to the media. Her lawyer Shawn Chapman Holley met with the Judge in his quarters yesterday to discuss how a guilty or no contest plea would be handled. Lindsay still insists that she’s innocent, but realizes going to trial could mean going to prison.
If she pleads guilty, she’ll head to jail for up to 3 months. But thanks to over crowding in CA jails she’d probably serve around 18 days. The judge has sent the case to another judge – Stephanie Sautner – for a preliminary hearing, but he’s giving her one more chance to accept his offer. Lindsay will be back in court before Judge Schwartz on March 25th, and she can plead either guilty or no contest to the grand theft charge. If Lindsay doesn’t accept the plea, Judge Sautner will hold a preliminary hearing on April 22nd. The Judge will then decide if she violated her probation -and if she decides that she did, which she most likely will, Lindsay will be sent right to jail where she’ll sit in jail and wait for her trial.
I mean, I think it’s a no-brainer here! Plead guilty and then you’ll go to jail for around 18 days. It’s a much better option than sitting in jail until your trial date.

Reality just might be sinking into Lindsay Lohan’s head, as she’s apparently ready to accept a plea deal in her jewelry theft case. TMZ reports that lawyers for Lohan and prosecutors for the state of California are hammering out a deal that would put Lohan back behind bars – but only under her terms. Deputy District Attorney Danette Meyers is dead-set on a six-month jail term she deserves, and that’s led Lohan’s lawyer Shawn Chapman Holley to book a meeting with the judge for next week to do a little negotiating and will ask Judge Schwartz what sort of sentence he’d give Lohan if she took a plea bargain.
Sources familiar with the case and Judge Schwartz believe His Honor would probably go for a three-month sentence.
Our sources say both Meyers and Holley believe Lindsay will only do 20% of the actual sentence because of overcrowding. So, if Judge Schwartz gave Lindsay three months, she’d only serve 18 days.
How is over-crowing even an issue? Doesn’t seem to be a problem when us regular folks do some stupid shizz. Judge Schwartz has warned Lohan – who is free on $40,000 bail – if she pleads guilty or no contest to the charge then she would do jail time and that he could rule that she is in violation of her earlier DUI order. Lohan must decide whether to accept the deal or plead not guilty and take the case to trial by the time of her next hearing, which has been set for March 10th. Sixth mugshot, coming up!

Remember how Lindsay Lohan wasn’t ready to accept a plea deal in court yesterday, instead preferring to wait for her lawyer to check if the surveillance video vindicated her? Yeah, well she might want to rethink that! Lindsay claimed that her stylist was the one who “forgot” to return that necklace, but sources say the jewelry store surveillance video clearly shows her stealing it. According to RadarOnline.com, a male friend of LiLo’s allegedly “distracted the clerk on purpose” while she put the necklace on and later walked out of the store with it.
“Lindsay had removed a necklace of hers that she was wearing when she tried on the necklace in question,” the source close to the case told RadarOnline.com, exclusively. “As Lindsay was putting her necklace back on, it’s apparent the store clerk was distracted by the male companion that was with Lindsay.”
The sales associate provided a statement to investigators claiming she didn’t realize that Lohan hadn’t taken the necklace off, RadarOnline.com has learned.
“The video then shows Lindsay and her male friend walking out of the store, all while Lindsay was wearing the necklace,” said the source. “It’s all clearly visible on the video.”
Yesterday, Lindsay entered a plea of not guilty to one count of felony grand theft. Should the video prove to be as damning as some who have seen it are claiming (one even called it a ‘smoking gun’) she could be facing three years in jail.
“The District Attorney believes that Lindsay’s friend distracted the clerk on purpose and that could bolster the case if it goes to trial against Lindsay,” said the source. “This simply wasn’t a case of miscommunication of a necklace being loaned and not returned, as Lindsay has claimed.”
Lindsay’s next court date is March 10th. If she still refuses a deal the case will go before another Judge for a preliminary hearing, and then go to trial. Whether she wants to or not it would be in Lindsay’s best interest to just suck it up and take the plea because chances are she’s gonna wind up behind bars either way. Even if Lindsay is somehow exonerated at trial, she’ll still be in jail for the probation violation. Not looking too good for Ms. Lohan either way you look at it.

After a small delay while lawyer Shawn Chapman-Holley and prosecutor Deputy District Attorney Danette Myers met in Judge Schwartz’s chambers, Lindsay Lohan has been officially charged with felony grand theft for stealing a $2,500 necklace. The felony complaint alleges that Lohan “did unlawfully take money and personal property.” Lohan plead not guilty and waived her right to a preliminary hearing in 10 days – instead, all parties will be back on Feb 23rd “to attempt to resolve the case.” If ultimately convicted, she could face a maximum sentence of three years in prison.
Per TMZ:
Lindsay Lohan was just remanded into custody — following a STRONG warning from Judge Keith Schwartz — “You’re no different than anyone else … please don’t push your luck.” Judge Schwartz set her bail at $20,000 — but warned, “If you violate the law, I will remand you and there will be NO BAIL.”
Myers asked the judge to revoke Lohan’s current probation, which was granted, and bail was set at $20,000 on that as well. Lohan and her agents were also ordered to have no contact with the jewelry store or the owners after Meyers said someone had sent the store owners flowers which freaked them out. Lohan is currently in custody and being booked.
…And now we wait for mugshot #5.
