Court Then Clubbing...

Lindsay Lohan is taking some stick for wearing this dress to court. The main beef with the outfit is that it would be equally at home on the dance floors of most nightclubs, and perhaps more appropriate. Lohan was in court facing a charge of felony grand theft. It is alleged that Lohan lifted a USD 2,500 piece of jewelery, a necklace, from a jewelery store in Venice Beach, California.

Lohan has pleaded not guilty and released on USD 40,000 bail.If convicted, Lohan faces, possibly, a few years in the big house.

I guess this is one of those stories that whets our collective appetites for celebrities coming off the rails and crashing and burning frequently in the public eye. For Lohan, it is sad that a career that started with such promise has fizzled out through self-destructive behaviour.

So, what about that dress...is there a little bit of Basic Instinct and Sharon Stone happening there. Hopefully Lohan did not recreate the most famous scene from that movie for the benefit of the judge.

Ho hum...

Lindsay Lohan Goes to Rehab...

Lindsay Lohan has been sentenced to 90 days 14 days in jail! No, she was sentenced to 90 days, but overcrowding in the US penal system means that perpetrators of "less" serious (non-violent) crimes tend to do a fraction of the sentence imposed upon them.

Yes, that's right folks, 90 days became 14 days and the remainder to supposedly be served in a rehab center. Now, for some rehab is probably not all that different from jail. Nevertheless, the girl was sentenced to 90 days and it would have been reasonable to expect that she would have seen a few more days behind bars than the mere 14 that she ended up doing. This is particularly so considering that she was given ample opportunities to mend her ways. Ultimately, she was sentenced to prison time for violations of her strict probation conditions.

In the end, Lohan did less time than Michelle Rodriguez (of Lost fame) and Paris Hilton.

I wonder if anyone is running a book as to how long it will be before she is in trouble again?

Celebrity Mug Shots

Mel Gibson in his classic mug shot. This shot was taken after a drunken evening that included a rant about Zionist conspiracies and other Jewish plots -- Drink Driving! (nice curl too!)

Nick Nolte in anothe classic mug shot. The fella looks like he has had a big night. Just looking at the wildness of the hair tells the story! Mug shot from 2002 -- Drink Driving!

For the classic "deer caught in the headlights" mug shot, one need go no further than this Hugh Grant shot! Look how sheepish he looks as he realizes that this shot is about to go around the world and everyone is about to find out just how flexible one needs to be in a BMW to get the "job" done! Mug shot is from 1995!

Lindsay Lohan -- Nuff said!
