Lindsay Lohan Implies That She Should Never Have Gone To Jail

“Unless you’re a killer, I don’t see a reason to stay there. I never hurt anyone but myself.”

Lindsay Lohan looks adorable on the cover of Italian Vanity Fair. Too bad that inside she kind of backtracked on the whole “I accept my punishment and am working hard to move on” stance she’d taken earlier this year. Really, Lindsay, you think only murderers should go to jail? That’s just not how society works. [ONTD]

Today’s Lady News: Oregon Jail Says “No Bail, No Abortion”

  • A jail in Oregon won’t let a 23-year-old pregnant woman have an abortion unless she posts 1/10th of her $65,000 bail. You see, her abortion is not an “emergency.” Um, hello? This woman is being treated for mental health issues! She doused herself with paint thinner! And lighter fluid! She sure sounds like an excellent candidate for unwanted motherhood to me. Sigh. [Yamhill Valley News Register via Reproductive Rights Reality Check]
  • The hotel maid who accused Dominique Strauss-Kahn, former chief of the IMF, of sexual assault announced she will sue The New York Post and five of its reporters for libel after it published a story on Saturday claiming she was a prostitute. [Reuters]

Quickies: Is Lindsay Going Back To Jail & Which “Teen Mom” Is Pregnant Again?

  • Lindsay Lohan is probably going back to jail. But maybe it’s all part of God’s plan, like Dina Lohan said? (Killer side-eye, BTW, Lindz.) [PopEater, The Superficial]
  • Rumor has it Beyoncé, Usher and Mariah Carey have played for the Libyan dictator, Muammar Qaddafi, which means they may have lined their pockets with what is politely referred to as “blood money.” Oof. Get your publicists on that one, stat, guys. [Oh No They Didn't]

Hiccup Champ Arrested For Murder

Perhaps the hiccups made her do it: We’ll never know. In 2007, Jennifer Mee made headlines when she suffered from uncontrollable hiccups. Over the weekend, Mee was arrested and charged with first degree murder. Mee has been charged in the shooting death of 22-year-old Shannon Griffin. According to police, Mee lured Griffin to a seedy part of St. Petersburg, FL (of course, Florida), where Lamont Newton and Laron Raiford robbed and killed him. She’s currently being held without bail in Pinellas County Jail.

Three years ago, Mee, now 19, suffered from an extended bout of hiccups — sometimes hiccuping more than 50 times in an minute. Her hiccups were cured after several weeks and in the media frenzy over her strange disorder she reconnected with her biological father. [MSNBC] Keep reading »

Cell Block Switcheroo: Paris Avoids Jail Time While Lindsay May Be Headed Back

Last week, it appeared that Lindsay Lohan was done donning the orange jumpsuit while Paris Hilton seemed sure to be headed to jail again for getting caught with nearly a gram of cocaine in her purse, and then claiming that she thought it was gum. Oh, what a difference seven days makes. Today, the exact opposite is true. Keep reading »

Quotable: Spencer Pratt Says He Was Jailed In Costa Rica

“As part of my spiritual cleansing I’ve spent the last week living alone in the [Costa Rican] jungle, reflecting on my past transgressions, and working to become a better person. I had to live off the land, and hunt to survive. As I departed the country this morning to continue my spiritual journey, I mistakenly brought my hunting weapons to the airport. It was an honest mistake … Costa Rican jail smells like children’s tears. And soup. Delicious soup. Thanks to jail, I finally have something in common with Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, and that Lohan chick!”

Spencer Pratt tells TMZ and his Twitter followers that he was jailed for weapons possession in Costa Rica. We’re sure Gandhi and Mandela are happy to be in such esteemed company. Also, Spencer was apparently in Costa Rica to try to win back Heidi Montag, who is there finding a new plastic surgeon. Make it stop. [TMZ]

Quotable: Kathy Hilton Feels For Dina Lohan

“I have sympathy for Dina Lohan right now. In fact, I feel bad for any parent whose child is in jail—it can be really tough. Those days when Paris was in jail were some of the most difficult of my life—it is hard for any parent to deal with. Unfortunately, if you do not follow the rules then this is what can happen—it’s part of the rules of our society. I think Lindsay will learn from this experience though. To be in a small cage like that by yourself certainly gives you time to think about things.”

—Kathy Hilton, aka mom of Paris, understands what Lindsay Lohan and her mom are going through, since Paris once occupied the cell next door to LiLo’s [Radar] Keep reading »

Lindsay Lohan’s Cell Block Neighbor: Alexis Neiers, Who’s Accused Of Robbing Her

Lindsay Lohan has been in her 12-by-8 foot jail cell for almost a day now, and a sheriff’s department spokesperson says that, if she remains on good behavior, she will be released in about 14 days, since the prison is overcrowded. This is far, far better than the 90 days she was sentenced to. But still, Lindsay isn’t doing so hot. “She’s trying to make the necessary adjustments to an extremely stressful and difficult situation. There were some tears,” her lawyer said. “Generally, the first two days in jail are the most difficult.” [People]

Lindsay is being kept in a special segregated unit of the jail, away from the general population. And guess who is in the cell next door? Alexis Neiers, who has been accused of breaking into Lindsay’s house along with two other members of the “bling ring,” ripping her safe out of the wall, and making off with lots of clothing and jewelry. How’s that for irony? Keep reading »

Lindsay Lohan Reporting To Jail in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1…

At 8:30 this morning, Pacific Standard Time, Lindsay Lohan will be reporting to jail. And—thank goodness!—you’ll be able to watch live as LiLo makes her way to the courthouse, because E! Online has a streaming video feed set up. “The only ‘bookings’ that I’m familiar with are Disney films; never thought that I’d be ‘booking’ into jail … eeeks,” Lindsay tweeted yesterday. She had checked into a sober house started by lawyer Robert Shapiro, who famously defended OJ Simpson, but last night abruptly made an exit, which led to Shapiro stepping down as her lawyer. So who knows who will represent her today in court? Lindsay is understandably very nervous. “She has not been able to sleep and has barely been eating. All weekend, Lindsay kept crying, chain smoking and chewing her nails,” a friend says. “She is a nervous, fidgety mess, and her legal team, family and friends are very concerned about her fragile state.” [E! Online, NY Daily News, MTV] Keep reading »
