New Arrest Warrant For Lindsay Lohan

Linky

Her reaction in the video is priceless. Welcome to the real world kiddo! :loser:

This child saddens me a lot. I'm not making excuses for her just pointing some things out. Her family is a train wreck, she appears to never have had any significant discipline in her life and yet she's talented as a dancer singer and actress. Everybody in her life seems to have only wanted to use her and not love her as much as they should. If she gets her head on straight and works hard she could become a memorable actress. JMO

This isn't "just" your opinion, Dan. It's mine, too.

I hope the posters who are saying they "have no sympathy" merely mean they believe LL is being treated fairly, considering her repeated bad behavior.

Yes, I know Lohan has been incredibly privileged in many ways. But she has also been treated as a commodity since a very young age--by her own family and everyone else. The pressure of being the primary meal ticket not only for your entire family but for almost everyone you know has to have an affect on a child's psycho-social development. Yes, there are some child stars who seem to thrive, but for every Shirley Temple, there seem to be 10 Judy Garlands; for every Neal Patrick Harris, 10 Todd Bridges. I'm sure the parents of the success stories deserve enormous credit, but NOBODY is going to claim Miss Lohan has model parents.

She quite obviously is in considerable distress and, yes, there's no question she herself has contributed to the mess she is in. But she's also very young and I see no reason why she doesn't merit sympathy. Not special treatment, mind you, but basic human compassion.

Almost all of us contribute in some way to our own problems. The notion that one must be pure as the driven snow to deserve compassion is one of those Puritanical legacies we really need to discard.

Again and to sum up, a bit of jail and forced rehab may be the best thing for Lohan. I hope so. I'm just saying we can feel sympathy while also recognizing that there must be consequences for bad behavior.

It's hard to say this, because I really try not to be malicious...but seeing that look of shock on her face, ("What??? Don't you know who I am? You're actually going to throw ME in jail????) was priceless.

My issue, Nova, is her smirky, "don't you know who I am?" attitude. I guess she's young (however, in Hollywood terms, she's not), but perhaps it's time she got her stuff together and grew up. If she wanted help, I'd have sympathy for her. However, I see no evidence of that.

I think acting out has always gotten her attention but not the type she needed. I have a feeling that acting out made the people in her life kiss her buttocks even more. She's been trained Pavlovian style. Finally somebody is putting an end to her being able to do anything she wants whenever she wants. Hopefully this is a wakeup call. I don't know for sure but I can't remember PH getting into any trouble since her jail time.

IMO -
She thumbed her nose at the alcohol classes

She thumbed her nose at the scram bracelet

She thumbed her nose at the judge

And - finally - the court "thumbed its nose" right back at her yesterday. She will do "ok" in jail - because of her "status". Its the manadatory 90 days rehab that I'm hoping will set her back on track.

She turned into an arrogant lil brat, and at her age, it wasn't working.

LiLo - here's hoping you can finally clean up your act.

All my love to LL.

She's done rehab before. I don't think it's going to make a bit of difference until she wants to clean up on her own. I wonder if it would make a difference if these celebs got treated like normal people when they break the law, versus all the special accomodations they seem to get (like being allowed to leave jail to work). Probably not, but I still wish it was so.

You’ve left me to assume your admonition applies to all but Lohan considering her drunken driving showing disregard for all society including innocent children on the highways with her drunken and drug suporous self. Then comes to court yesterday with profane expletives on her middle fingers held up repeatedly to the judge showing total lack of basic human compassion for society’s laws, the court and the judge.

To suggest anyone who doesn’t approve of her obscene behavior expects “..pure as the driven snow…’ puritanical society is a preposterous notion in my opinion.

I never paid a bit of attention to the woman before yesterday and only then because I inadvertently had time and ran across the hearings by accident. I don’t have to wonder what she is. Her message of vulgarities and disrespect rang loud and clear.

She did cause me to have basic human compassion for the judge who she willfully showed such disrespect for. She caused me to have basic human compassion for all of society. Who would be anxious to live in a society of people like her who have no respect for our courts or laws. In childhood and in life everyone bares honorable scars. She’s not unique in that.

Don't assume I hate her or have no "sympathy" because I don't approve of her obsceneties to the judge in court. I don't even know her. Sympathy for what? She had a rough childhood? She works? Personally I wish no one would put themselves in jail. I wish all would respect basic laws and show basic human compassion to their fellow countrymen. Unlike Lohan has chosen.

I'm just saying you can feel all the "sympathy" you please for Lohan while also recognizing that there must be regard shown the rest of society.

She showed everyone in the nation on live tv yesterday she does not care. Post #40 has the link to photos of her obscene msg fingernails. She is so vulgar.

I don't see LL as being any different from any other alcoholic/drug addict. She lies, blames other people for her own transgressions, tries to manipulate people to get her way. They all act like that while they're using. I am hoping jail and rehab will drag her out of this road to nowhere.

I think acting out is the new cheep advertising. My opinion but no doubt more than a few can be googled.

Imagine a world where all had perfect parents of their own designing (Anthony of Twilight Zone fame for example), drink all they want, snort all the cocaine they please (and any other illicit drug that suits their fancy), could jet around the world at will and never had to work for a living. and paint their fingernails with obscenities to judge & society. poor lindsay my eye.

What if she killed someone's children in her drunken stupor? Is that the only game-changer? Or would people still then call for sympathy for HER so long as it's not their loved one she killed in a drunken/drugg-fueled binge?

Except that since she's in show business she has cheap publicity to gain for herself the more outrageous she bahaves. And she hit a home run on that yesterday with the obscene msg on her fingernails. I'm not hopeful for the woman at all. She's already showing signs of premature aging from her unhealthy lifestyle on the outside of her body so no telling how well her internal organs are holding up. At least she won't be endangering Innocent's health on the highways for time she spends in jail.

This is just a feeling I have. I think she's going to do Dr. Drew's rehab show. I heard she was offered 1 mil. So I think she's going to stay in the headlines and then do the show. This is JMO.

Yup. goto court = cheep publicity and then some. Failure gets rewarded again.

Your absolutely right.
I am sick of the way celebs get away with anything they do. Charlie Sheen gets another slap on the wrist. One day people like these are going to kill someone and then what?

bolding mine>
Then we'll hear another chorus of Why didn't somebody DO something!

Exactly right. They're a menace.

All I could think of while watching her was, "well, she's an actress" which immediately (right or wrong) puts me on guard...acting to me means that she can cry at will, or assume any role she needs to at the time, to get what she wants. For all we know, she was playing the role of "Lindsay Gets Her Comeuppance, Scene 1". It's hard to know if what we see is really her, or an actress playing a role, or a drug addict playing a role.

I hope she gets the help she needs. But if she doesn't want help, that's doubtful.

Well, I'm still hoping for her anyway. Two of my siblings acted a lot like LL. One successfully rehabbed and has been clean for 25 or so years; one died. I guess it could go either way.

This is purely my opinion and I have no links but Paris acted the same way toward the law (arrogant). From what I understand, when the traffic cop pulled her over and asked for her license, she told him to talk to her manager. Very disrespectful if true. I believe Paris would have been in and out of jail in a matter of hours (day or two at best) but she had to have her high powered lawyer come in and circumvent the system which only ticked the judge off even more. She ended up serving her whole sentence. I don't think she's been in trouble with the law since. She knows now that the Hilton money isn't going to pull her arse out of the frying pan now...probably the best thing that could have happened to her BEFORE SHE HURT OR KILLED AN INNOCENT PERSON. I heard the going rate was 1 million for pictures and her story after she got out. So it was a lucrative stint in the poky for her.

As for Lindsay, the profanity on her middle finger shows she has no respect for the law, the judge, her attorney, nor anyone else. She's setting a horrible example for her sister who seems to worship the ground she walks on. She allegedly told the guys in the car during her high speed chase in which she got caught with cocaine in her pants pocket that they won't touch her because she's a celebrity. Once the judge gets a look at that f*** y** painted on her middle finger that she proudly displayed in front of her in court (how stupid can she be?), she may force her to do the full 90 days. They have discretion over sentencing because N. Richie was in and out in about an hour after her DUI bust for driving the wrong way down a one way highway. She admitted to taking vicodin and smoking pot. Khloe K. was also in and out in about an hour for a DUI. Both went in with the attitude they'll serve whatever time they're given.

It looks like Lindsay will have to learn the hard way that she is no better than the rest of us. Yes, she has been given a lot more chances than someone who is not wealthy or a celebrity but the celebrity free ride ends here. She's not really relevant anymore as an actress, she's more of a tabloid punchline. Hopefully this will turn out like Paris. After she was shown she wasn't above the law, she seemed to straighten her act up as far as stepping over the legal line.

I have a feeling Lindsay's lawyer will try every trick in the book during these next two weeks to get the jail time dropped. I think they should have taken her to jail immediately for that very reason. The courts have enough to do without having to deal with a 24 year old acting like she's twelve painting F*** Y*** on her nails for a court date. She's too old for that childish behavior.

I'm going to make a prediction. Lindsay will go into rehab in the next two weeks as an excuse not to serve her jail time.

IMO

How classy of her: circulating on the internet are Getty pics from the hearing... in some of them there are closeups of Lilo's well manicured nails... where a little message is written on her middle finger.

http://www.zimbio.com/Lindsay+Lohan...ay+Lohan+Sports+Unladylike+Manicure+Courtroom

We already knew she was giving the justice system the proverbial middle finger/"f you" flipoff by the fact of not complying with the terms of her probation, but for her to walk into that courtroom with that written out on her nail: that is pretty darn bold and low. The girl is in need of a serious attitude adjustment.

BBM and ITA. I watched the last two hours on live feed through TMZ. She was so disrespectful to the court and the judge. She did nothing but make faces and talk over whoever was speaking. She kept turning around and giving WTF looks to someone in the gallery. At one point the judge told Lindsay that she didn't mind her talking to her attorney, but her attorney really needed to hear what was being said. It was rediculous.

Someone mentioned Paris when she went to jail. IIRC, The first time the sherriff let her out after four days even though he said 23-25 days. The judge was so pissed and had Paris brought back to the jail sobbing to serve the remainder of her sentence.
