Hollywood brat Lindsay Lohan sentenced to jail
Lindsay Lohan has been sentenced to 120 days in jail for violating probation on a 2007 drink-driving conviction, but not everyone is happy about it, including Lohan, who’s charge was reduced from a felony to a misdemeanor.
In addition to the jail stint – her fourth – the 24-year-old Mean Girls starlet will be required to carry out 480 hours of community service, with 120 hours spent in the medical examiner’s office.
Lohan’s lawyer vowed to appeal against the sentence, and she was expected to be freed on $75,000 (£45,413) bail.
The violation stems from an accusation Lohan stole a $2,500 necklace from a California jewellery store in January.
On Friday, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Stephanie Sautner reduced the initial felony grand theft charge to a misdemeanour.
The judge sentenced her to jail after ruling prosecutors had presented sufficient evidence of the jewellery theft to show Lohan had violated terms of her probation.
Judge Sautner said Lohan had only returned the necklace after learning police had obtained a search warrant to find it.
Lohan will perform community service at a women’s centre and at the Los Angeles morgue, the Los Angeles Times reported.
In September, Lohan was briefly jailed after failing a drugs test ordered after her 2007 conviction for drink-driving. In October, a judge ordered her to spend two-and-a-half months in rehab.
Soon after she was released from rehab in January, she was accused of walking out of a jewellery store in Venice, California, with the necklace. The actress has said the store lent her the jewellery.

Great article. It is quite unfortunate that over the last 10 years, the travel industry has already been able to to deal with terrorism, SARS, tsunamis, bird flu, swine flu, as well as the first ever true global tough economy. Through everthing the industry has really proven to be sturdy, resilient and also dynamic, obtaining new ways to deal with difficulty. There are generally fresh challenges and the possiblility to which the market must yet again adapt and act in response.
I am so tired of hearing about this little shit, but I still find myself intrigued. How strange.
