Oh, brother. Here we go again…

I get that Lindsay Lohan is a big fan of the music festival Coachella, but that doesn’t mean she should be putting ANYTHING before her big lying to the cops case!  Still, the actress (if we can even call her that anymore) is putting some demands out there in terms of her case and her rehab! Says a source close to Lilo:

“Lindsay was adamant that she not be forced to go to rehab until after the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in the Palm Springs area on successive weekends in April. Lindsay LOVES going to the musical festival, and she’s determined to go this year. She didn’t want a little thing like rehab to get in her way of attending. Linds refused to sign off on any deal that would have prevented her from going to Coachella, period. Yes, it’s that important to her, for some strange reason.”

Geez. Just GO TO REHAB.  Or hey, why don’t they just throw the girl in jail? Clearly, Lindsay doesn’t have her priorities in order or think she even needs any behavioral correcting.  Seriously, I can’t believe she’s not in jail already!

Thoughts?!

Oh, brother…

In an effort to improve her image before she goes back to court next month, US Weekly reports that Lindsay Lohan is in talks to mentor young athletes at a gym in Georgia.

Yep, that’s right.

The Liz & Dick star really wants to donate her time to Trinity Athletics, a gym where underprivileged girls can get scholarships to learn to tumble and cheer in Johns Creek, Georgia.  Ideally, Lindsay wants to get her mentorship on before March 18, when she’s due in Judge Stephanie Sautnerí’s Santa Monica, California, court to face three charges…the most notably being lying to police!

Kourtney Calano, the founder of the Baby & I Foundation in Atlanta, tells omg:

She reached out to the actress’ team “about mentoring young girls at a nearby gym, where the owner has given a lot of her cheerleading hopefuls free grants to be able to cheer and follow their dreams, some even Olympic hopefuls. This is something that is still in the working stages, where Lindsay will be a possible mentor to these young girls for a day to uplift them and let them know she too has struggled and overcome so much adversity in life.”

“We have yet to make any arrangements with Ms. Lohan about mentoring our girls,” Trinity Athletics owner Cori Davenport tells omg! “We are very busy at the moment on focusing on our upcoming NCA Nationals and that is our only focus presently. I believe everyone deserves a second chance, and everyone makes mistakes. I applaud Ms. Lohan for wanting to make a difference in people’s lives, especially young girls so they don’t take the same road she has.”

But does she really want to make a difference, or is this just a halfhearted attempt at cleaning up her image? C’mon.

Remember when Lindsay Lohan sued Pitbull? Yeah, I know, it’s been a while.  But, rest assured, people: Lindsay walked away with nothing, plus the indignity of a ridiculous court case!

Lohan sued the rapper in 2011 for using her name in his hit song “Give Me Everything.” Need a memory refresher? Pitbull drops the line, “I got it locked up like Lindsay Lohan.” It’s not exactly Shakespeare, but enough to warrant a suing, I suppose.

Anyhow…

Lohan claimed Pitbull never got permission to use her name, and has no right to profit from it. Today, a New York federal judge didn’t agree with Lilo’s sentiment.  The judge sided with Pitbull, ruling that Lindsay is wrong in her allegations…the song is a work of art protected by the 1st amendment PLUS Lindsay’s barely even mentioned in it.

On the side,  Lindsay said that she she suffered emotional distress due to the song, another charge that was promptly dropped.

Case closed.  Pitbull 1, Lindsay Lohan 0 (though I bet he won’t use her name in another song anytime soon).

The list of people that Lindsay Lohan owes money to keeps growing and growing…

Apparently, Lilo owes one of her assistants upwards of 40,000 in unpaid wages for work that she had done for the actress.

“Lindsay owes one of her former assistant’s, Jessica, over $40k in unpaid wages. Lindsay actually also borrowed money from the assistant for her own living expenses,” a source told Radar. “Jessica no longer works for Lindsay, and she recognizes that she is probably never going to see the money. Lindsay has a very long history of not paying people for services/work done for her,” the insider added.

And if you don’t remember, Lindsay 26, owes her recently fired, long-standing criminal defense attorney, Shawn Holley, a bunch of money, too:  $300,000 plus unpaid legal fees! Lilo hasn’t made a payment to the lawyer in more than half a year.

Maybe this entertaining royalty thing will become more consistent, because at this rate, her acting jobs are nil.  I’m not going to lie, I feel bad for Lindsay, but the choices she’s made have gotten her into this mess. Gotta be smart, people! Pay your assistants!

Director Paul Schrader knew he had his hands full when he cast Lindsay Lohan as the lead in The Canyons…but just how full?

In a very telling New York Times magazine piece on the film, veteran profile writer Stephen Rodrick details the 26-year-old starlet’s many breakdowns on the set of The Canyons…including one particularly bizarre incident when she locked herself in a walk-in closet with her friend and refused to come out prior to shooting a four-way sex scene with three porn stars.

Ah, Hollywood.

Director Schrader at first tried first to coax her out, and then resorted to threatening her through the locked closet door.  After an hour of failing to get Lohan out of the closet, the 65-year-old director finally had the idea to strip down himself to make Lohan feel more comfortable, and… it worked.  Lohan filmed one take of a 14-minute sex scene, even though she was contractually obligated to do the scene, and knew about it months and months beforehand.

Very professional, Lilo.

Oh, and that’s not all. Lindsay would arrive on set “sick,” leave slightly drunk and broke all kinds of ridiculous “firing” and “hiring” records. Rodrick, who was involved during the entire development of the film, describes how Lohan failed to show up for two consecutive days of work right off the bat because she took a sleeping pill and couldn’t wake up (for two days!).  Midway through shooting, however, Lohan apparently had a revelation. Says the star:

“I needed time to figure out all the crap in my life that I’d created for myself, essentially, and I kind of realized, What am I doing? I like doing this. I like being here,” she tells Rodrick. “This makes me happy. There was a line in the ‘Elizabeth’ movie where she says, ‘I’m so bored, I’ve never been taught what to do when I’m not working,’ and I’m kind of figuring that out now.”

Okay. So…no more crazy antics? You promise?

Here’s our pal Lindsay Lohan outside of the Nozomi Restaurant in London yesterday.  She’s looking surprisingly fresh-faced, don’t you think?

Lilo was paid 100,000 dollars for a NYE date with Brunei’s Prince Haji Abdul Azim, which may or may not have a bearing on her newly “refereshed” face.

Via TheBlemish:

“Prince Azim not only flew her out; he put her up in a beautiful suite in the Dorchester for the weekend and following the party. Her mom, Dina, is also in London with her at the hotel and attended the party,” says the source.

The insider tells us the 30-year-old, celebrity-obsessed prince also paid Lionel Ritchie a whopping $250,000 to come sing for him and Pamela Anderson, a favorite, to come show herself off for $75,000 at the crazy bash, which he holds annually in the 10,300-square-foot ballroom at the five-star Dorchester in Mayfair. Azim’s sister, the gorgeous Princess Fadzilah, also buddied up to Lohan at the party.

“He rents the ballroom and does this for his amusement,” says our source. “He rents the ballroom and pays stars to show up. Lindsay went because she’s that desperate for a paycheck.”

Everyone has their price, don’t they?

Lindsay Lohan is having a rough time right now, but says she doesn’t have the resources to see a shrink and try to talk her problems out.

As y’all know,  Lilo is facing significant jail time and debt. She wants to see a psychiatrist about her problems,  but the troubled actress is telling her close friends she doesn’t have enough money to do so!

“Lindsay is overwhelmed at the prospect of going back to jail and believes that a psychiatrist can help her through this trying time of her life. However, Lindsay has a huge problem, she can’t afford to pay a good shrink because she literally has no money,” a source close to the situation tells RadarOnline.com exclusively. “Her health insurance would only pay about 20 percent of the mental health bills, and the docs that she wants to see charge $250-$300 an hour,” the insider added.

Yikes!  That’s an arm and a leg, but I think it’s money well spent, in Lindsay’s case. And everyone wants to weigh in on her status- Michael Lohan, the Los Angeles Attorney’s office, even her managers and representation have something to say!

Lindsay’s agents and managers “just wish she would have taken these steps to take accountability for her life before her back was against the wall. Lindsay is her own worst enemy and needs intensive therapy for at least a year,” the insider said.

Well, duh.  I hope she gets the help she needs…there are so many resources in place for people who can’t afford mental health counseling, even people like Miss Lohan!
