Lindsay Lohan goes the good-deed route after making bail
Lindsay Lohan was out among the less fortunate Sunday, having made bail late Friday after spending less than 14 hours in jail, posting a $300,000 bond that may keep her free until her next court date before Judge Elden Fox.
A SCRAM alcohol-monitoring bracelet was once again part of the bargain, which might explain why Lohan was wearing knee-high boots in Sunday's triple-digit heat when she visited the Dream Center in L.A. (the center helps the homeless and poor) with her mom, sister, manager and a friend in tow. Hey, after an Us Magazine report last week that LiLo giggled and ordered cocktails while composing her drug-test mea culpa for Twitter, we suppose a little paparazzi-attended altruism probably couldn't hurt.
One catch related to making bail: L.A. Now quotes veteran defense attorney Glen Jonas as saying, "Judge Fox signaled loud and clear that he intended to give Lohan a sentence of 'time served' at the next hearing." Now, however, he "will be motivated to make a real impact on Ms. Lohan at the sentencing on the probation violation," possibly in the form of yet another trip to jail. Fox's no-bail hold would have kept Lohan incarcerated until her probation violation hearing, without early release because of overcrowding.
Between now and Oct. 22, the "Mean Girls" actress may of her own accord head to live-in rehab --
Fox put Lohan behind bars Friday morning for failing court-ordered drug tests that were part of her probation after serving jail and rehab time for violating probation related to two 2007 DUI incidents. The actress had been held without bail before attorney Shawn Chapman Holley successfully appealed the decision; Lohan was taken out a back entrance at Lynwood Correctional Facility shortly before midnight Friday.

The Real Lohan Story is her OCD Misdiagnosis, and the Prescription Drug Consequences (said the UCLA Medical Center)-- It's the Adderall Stimulant errantly prescribed to her for years thats causing her Problem. There is actually a national controversy whether Doctors have errantly prescribed this drug to tens of thousands. Non-OCD users develop a dependency on Adderal and try to substitute other stimulants when they are deprived of it.
It's basically like extreme nicotene addiction- hard to do without once hooked:)

Hollywood is full of parasites. If Lindsay dies of a drug overdose, will we create a shrine resembling Jim Morrison's grave at Père Lachaise Cemetery in Paris, France. Each year, we can fly by plane to Paris on a pilgrimage to mourn a poet who died before most fans were born, Jim Morrison.
