Lindsay Lohan: A History Of Rehab

Actress has been to three other facilities before her latest court-ordered stay.



When troubled actress Lindsay Lohan exited the Century Regional Detention Facility in the early hours of Monday (August 2) morning, she was shuttled directly to a place she's quite familiar with: rehab.

Though the "Mean Girls" star only served 13 of her 90-day jail sentence in connection with probation violation from a 2007 DUI conviction, she will have to serve the entire 90 days of court-mandated rehab at a UCLA Hospital-affiliated facility in order to complete her sentence. Since her struggles with substance abuse first surfaced more than four years ago, the 24-year-old actress has made several attempts to get clean.

A short time after rumors began to emerged of problems on the set of her 2006 movie "Georgia Rule," Lohan checked into the Wonderland Center rehab facility in January 2007 and checked out after completing a 30-day stay for treatment of an undisclosed substance issue. "I have made a proactive decision to take care of my personal health," the singer said in a statement at the time. "I appreciate your well wishes and ask that you please respect my privacy at this time." In December, Lohan's publicist revealed that Lohan had been voluntarily attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings.

While attempting to get her movie career back on track after being dropped from "The Edge of Love" when the director said it was too difficult to insure the unreliable actress, Lohan was arrested for DUI in May 2007. Her car struck a curb in that incident, and after investigators said they found what they believed to be cocaine on the scene, Lohan checked Promises Treatment Center for 45 days to deal with her problems. She celebrated her release by soberly partying with some friends at Pure nightclub in Las Vegas.

After her release, she voluntarily agreed to wear a SCRAM bracelet to monitor her sobriety, but was arrested again in July for a second DUI and felony drug charges, which sent her back to rehab. She stayed at the Cirque Lodge Treatment Center in Sundance, Utah for six weeks, until October 5, 2007.

And, of course, the reason she was sentenced to 90 days in jail and 90 days in inpatient rehab was because she didn't attend her court-mandated amount of alcohol education classes. So, does Lohan have any hope that this latest stat will be her last?

"Without question, Lindsay can recover," Robert J. Lindsey, president and CEO of the National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence (NCADD) told MTV News. "We have seen over and over people whose lives have progressed to the point where they lose their job, they lose their family, they lose their physical health, they lose their freedom. But still, people can and do recover from their alcoholism and addiction."

Lindsay Lohan on Dancing with the Stars?

On newly free Lindsay Lohan, DWTS judge Carrie Ann Inaba said: "I want her so bad!" Will Lindsay Lohan go from jail to rehab to Dancing with the Stars? According to a MSNBC News report E! Online says the judge wants Lindsay on the show "so bad that when we were talking to Inaba, she actually fell to her knees, put her hands in the prayer position and pleaded, 'Please, Lindsay Lohan, come on our show!'"



She would be a hit and she needs a comeback vehicle.

For now, Lindsay is out of jail and on her way to rehab. She was popular in jail, one report claiming her fans sent letters to the actress as she suffered through a 14 sentence for a probation violation.


Lohan received 250 letters a day behind bars the old fashione way - by snail mail and on paper. The Mean Girls star has been overwhelmed by notes from fans.

But she was only allowed to get 10 at a time - so she will have plenty of reading material now that she is released from the women's jail in Lynwood, California.

The 24-year-old actress is serving her sentence and court ordered rehab stint for violating probation on her 2007 drunk-driving arrest.

Michelle Trachtenberg: Stop Calling Me Fat!

The striking actress doesn’t want her fans to get the wrong message, and I couldn’t agree more!

We got to catch up with actress Michelle Trachtenberg at week two of the Mercedes-Benz Polo Challenge on Jul. 31 at Blue Star Jets field in Bridgehampton, where she took a break from filming Gossip Girl and openly expressed her frustration over being called fat — and considering how great the actress looked, wearing a flowing floral Rebecca Taylor maxi dress standing in the shade while attendees mingled at the SWAGG Moblie Application lounge, I don’t blame her! “Look at me,” she said while grabbing both sides of her teeny waist, “Tell me, where am I fat?”

Honestly, I couldn’t agree with her more! I’ve seen her in person at multiple events and Michelle is a thin girl with a nice figure — I think it’s ridiculous that her body is constantly under scrutiny! The down to Earth star said at the end of the day, it’s all about how it effects her fans. “It isn’t even about me, it’s about the message it sends to normal girls,” she said. “Some girl in Middle America is gonna pick up [a tabloid] and say, ‘Oh Michelle is my favorite actress and they think she’s fat, what does that say about me?’”

The actress even recalled a time the tabloids took it to far and went after her family! “One time they even called my mom fat,” she said, saying how much that upset her. “It’s one thing when it’s about me, but that’s my mom.”

I don’t know about you, but I’m so happy the articulate actress is trying to send a positive message to her fans — especially with the slew of celebs who seem to be withering away! What do you think?

Lessons From The JERSEY SHORE #1

Grey's Anatomy Doctors All Grown Up in New Season

Normally, people who finish med school and save other peoples' lives for a living are considered adults — that is, unless they're Doogie Houser. Or on Grey's Anatomy. After six seasons, the show's creator, Shonda Rhimes, says her characters are finally becoming adults — and that their problems will only get more grown-up.

TVGuide.com: What can you tell us about the upcoming season of Grey's Anatomy?
Rhimes: With both Grey's and Private Practice, we've got two really exciting seasons coming up. It's been really fun to sit down and plan them. Our characters are growing up on Grey's. They're really adults now and that's been a real challenge, in how to let them be grownups and figure out what that means for them.

TVGuide.com: Meredith's miscarriage in the finale was heartbreaking. Now that she knows she wants to have a baby, will that be a focus for her this season?
Rhimes: It's possible. The Theme for the entire season of Grey's this year is rebirth, so extrapolate from there.

TVGuide.com: James Tupper is coming in as a trauma counselor for the first three episodes. Are there any characters in particular taking it harder than others?
Rhimes: I think they're all taking it pretty hard in their own individual ways. We talked about it a lot, and the fact that there's this group of people that's been extraordinarily damaged by this experience. That's what's going to be carrying them forward, and it will change how they view their jobs, view themselves and view their relationships with one another. A lot of them were about to die. I think they're all fairly damaged and trying to recover.
