Lindsay Lohan "cited" for drunk driving.

[davidpizzica]

There was just something in our local paper about her celebrating her 21st birthday, and some VODKA company gave her the party.......what is wrong with that picture??!!


Yes, she just did get out of rehab, but apparently if you sell liquor it is perfectly alright to throw a party for some dumb, tipsy starlet, after all she can just go to rehab, again.

I just cannot figure out Hollywood, they are like the NBA - rules apply only when necessary or if you are the 'star'.

Apparently, these actors & actresses have never heard the term "designated drivers" I guess it's beneath them to have someone else drive them home.

BEVERLY HILLS, California (AP) -- Lindsay Lohan turned herself in to face charges of driving under the influence in connection with the Memorial Day weekend hit-and-run crash that sent her into rehab.

Lohan was fingerprinted and photographed and released on her own recognizance.

Accompanied by her attorney, the 21-year-old actress surrendered at the Beverly Hills Police Department Thursday afternoon to be fingerprinted and photographed, Officer Brian Ballieweg said.

Lohan's blood-alcohol level at the time of the crash was above California's 0.08 percent legal limit, Ballieweg said. He wouldn't disclose how high it was. She also faces a misdemeanor charge of hit and run, he said.

Lohan was released on her recognizance. A court date was scheduled for August 24.

A message left early Friday with her publicist was not immediately returned.

Lohan and two other adults were in her 2005 Mercedes SL-65 convertible when she lost control and crashed into a curb and shrubs on Sunset Boulevard on May 26, police said.

Lohan got into a second car and was driven to a hospital in Century City for minor injuries, police said. The others in her car were not hurt.

Officers received a 911 call about the accident and traced her to the hospital.

Last week, Lohan checked out of a rehabilitation center after more than six weeks. It was her second stint in rehab this year. She said in January she had checked into rehab for substance abuse treatment.

The surrender was first reported by TV's "The Insider."

Well this thread calls for a song. Here are the lyrics of Brad Paisley's song, Celebrity, which says it all!

Someday I'm gonna be famous, do I have talent, well no
These days you don't really need it thanks to reality shows
Can't wait to date a supermodel, can't wait to sue my dad
Can't wait to wreck a Ferrari on my way to rehab

[1st Chorus]
'Cause when you're a celebrity
It's adios reality
You can act just like a fool
People think you're cool
Just 'cause you're on TV
I can throw a major fit
When my latte isn't just how I like it
When they say I've gone insane
I'll blame it on the fame
And the pressures that go with
Being a celebrity

I'll get to cry to Barbara Walters when things don't go my way
And I'll get community service no matter which law I break
I'll make the supermarket tabloids, they'll write some awful stuff
But the more they run my name down the more my price goes up

[2nd Chorus]
'Cause when you're a celebrity
It's adios reality
No matter what you do
People think you're cool
Just 'cause you're on TV
I can fall in and out of love
Have marriages that barely last a month
When they go down the drain
I'll blame it on the fame
And say it's just so tough
Being a celebrity

[Bridge]
So let's hitch up the wagons and head out west
To the land of the fun and the sun
We'll be real world bachelor jackass millionaires
Hey hey, Hollywood, here we come

[3rd Chorus]
'Cause when you're a celebrity
It's adios reality
No matter what you do
People think you're cool
Just 'cause you're on TV
Being a celebrity

GUYS - this accident happened BEFORE her latest stint in rehab, if I read the above right.

And I recall it being in the news that after her rehab stint, she would be facing the criminal charges.

I'll go reread the first few posts, but suggest that people check the dates of these events.

Yes, and it is about her DUI in MAY - Memorial Day weekend.

Quote from CNN at 6:00 MT: BEVERLY HILLS, California (AP) -- Lindsay Lohan turned herself in to face charges of driving under the influence in connection with the Memorial Day weekend hit-and-run crash that sent her into rehab.

First to rehab, then to court. This is not resisting arrest - this is going to the next step in the process. Which was expected and which she did.

I don't think anyone suggested she resisted arrest?

It is just a little unusual to be booked July for a crime done in May... I think the usual process is crime/booked/rehab...

Not crime/rehab/booked.
