Days after Lindsay Lohan missed her court date because she claims that her passport was stolen in Cannes and she couldn’t get out of the country to make it, she showed up to court today 10 minutes late. The judge did not sentence her to jail, but instead ordered her to wear a SCRAM alcohol-monitoring bracelet and submit to random drug testing. Here is what Us Weekly said went down in the courtroom today.
“I’d like to make the court aware of a couple of things and an alternate suggestion. Miss Lohan has a number of upcoming photo shoots and well as [she’ll be] continuing to film a movie in Texas,” Holley said. “The SCRAM device would interfere with all of that. Miss Lohan is not, however, getting out of being monitored. For that reason, our alternative suggestion is that she be randomly tested for drugs and alcohol.”
Replied Judge Revel, “She needs to submit to random drug testing here, not in Texas. [I want] no excuse for her to say it’s random [when it’s not]… I’m afraid she’s going to have to delay [filming] for now.”
Holley argued that Lohan shouldn’t have to wear the SCRAM bracelet in Los Angeles, and could instead undergo local alcohol and drug testing to “obviate the need for a bulky bracelet that would interfere with her work,” which the judge turned down.
Said Judge Revel: “Will Lohan accept the conditions of her bail?” Lohan could have faced 180 days in prison if she violated the terms of her probation after she was convicted of her second DUI in 2007.
Holley whispered to Lohan for about a minute, and then turned to the judge and said, “We’ll accept the court’s conditions.”
Judge Revel then set a formal hearing for July 6 at 8:30 a.m. to determine if Lohan had violated her probation. “Just to remind you, you’re not allowed to drink any alcohol or beverage, you need your SCRAM bracelet on within 24 hours, and you’ll submit to random drug testing.”
Revel said that Lohan is responsible for contacting the drug-testing agency. “Failure to show up for random drug testing is the same as having a dirty test to the court. The court wishes to be notified immediately if there’s a a missed test or a positive test.”
Let’s see if she can remain clean for a month and a half until her next court date?
BTW I love that she was trying to get out of wearing the SCRAM because her lawyer said it would show during her photoshoots. How many pictures show her ankles? And I am sure they can photoshop it out if need be, they have done wonders with other things.
After American Pie came out Chris Klein was the hot actor who was dating Katie Holmes. Then all of a sudden he lost his love to Tom Cruise and his career to a bunch of other actors. Now thanks to Funny or Die we are seeing his auditions from several A-List movies and we now have a greater insight why we haven’t seen him on the big or small screens for a while.
Maybe now that he is becoming a sensation on the littlest screen, he will be able to relaunch his career on the small and big screens? He actually is funny and they are doing another American Pie. So you never know?
So a half hour after you wiped the tears from your eyes and absorbed WTF just happened on Lost, Jimmy Kimmel Live aired a special tribute to the show. Instead of giving us more tears of sorrow, the show gave us tears of laughter. So take a break from mourning Lost and laugh you a$$ off watching these funny bits from JKL, I promise it will ease your pain. And you don’t want to miss the alternate endings.
Brittany Murphy’s husband Simon Monjack was found dead in the house that they shared yesterday, 5 months after her death. According to the LA Times, cops were unsure what caused of death of the 39 year old but they are investigating it. Maybe it was a broken heart and he was reunited with his one true love. I know people said he was no good for her, but they really seemed to love each other and now they are together in heaven.
