Lindsay Lohan faces 180 days in jail. Best. News. Ever.
UPDATE: Turns out Lindsay won't be arrested after all upon her return to the U.S.With the bail set at $100,000, Lindsay's people immediately put up the $10,000 (the standard 10%) to secure the bond, according to TMZ. The judge then recalled the warrant.
TMZ has also learned that Lindsay and her lawyer, Shawn Chapman Holley, will be in court on Monday at 8:30am, at which point the judge will set a date for a probation violation hearing.

Poor Lindsay Lohan!
She faces up to 180 days in jail for missing that stupid court appointment Thursday (May 20) morning.
A mean old judge issued a warrant for Lindsay's arrest. Bail was set at $100,000. This means it's pretty certain that Lindsay won't be able to be insured for her new film about "Deep Throat" porn star Linda Lovelace. Blast whoever stole the poor child's passport, forcing her to stay in Cannes and have fun!
The actress was due in court for a progress report on her probation stemming from two 2007 arrests. Her attorney claimed that Lohan's passport was stolen (or conveniently misplaced?) while she was
Superior Court Judge Marsha Revel revoked Lohan's probation, issued the arrest warrant and imposed several conditions should Lohan make bail. She will be prohibited from drinking any alcohol, required to wear an alcohol-monitoring bracelet (again) and submit to random weekly drug testing
Meanwhile, LIndsay is trying to hitch a ride on a private jet.
RadarOnline posted her pleading email:
"I need my friends, and people I work with to PLEASE help me get on a private plane tomorrow by at least 5pm. This is such a horrible thing that's happened to me and extremely unfortunate. My passports been stolen and the day before my court hearing. I would never ask such a thing, but if there's anything that I could ever ask of anyone, it would be to help me with this. I must get back on a jet to LA tomorrow. If anyone has planes leaving Nice/Cannes at any time after 11am when I get my passport, please, please, let me know if you can help me. God bless All my love Thank you, Lindsay Lohan."
Wednesday night Lindsay didn't really look very worried about all this. She was photographed partying on a huge yacht wearing a miniskirt and thigh-high stockings.
Bye-bye, film career! Wheee!
PS: Did we mention that the US Embassy in France says that although Lindsay reported her passport stolen, she never applied for a new passport? Just thought we'd throw that in there.

I'll go back to jail and be her cell mate... I will teach her how to cook and clean...
And I will teach her how to "keep the eye of the tiger".
Hey Lindsey, Sandra's gone now wanna be my Jail Bait Baby......
She could TOTALLY earn my Presidential Pardon!
WHY DON'T people find some news that is actually NEWS, and leave Lindsay alone---she just might do better if all her faux pas were not prime internet fodder. As for this court deal - of COURSE it scares her and she tries to avoid it, who wouldn't? Whatever she may or may not be doing at least she apparently doesn't drive impaired, she hasn't had any DUIs lately, has she? Court should consider that. Besides it is absolutely ILLEGAL and unconstitutional for any court to order any person not to drink at all, alcohol is NOT an illegal drug and a judge can't just make it illegal for one person even if he or she thinks it'd be better if the person did not drink any. That bracelet, of course, is even MORE illegal. I never can believe the people go for laws like this, they should be up in arms, OK so no sober person likes a drunk and drunk drivers have caused LOTS of heartache and damage BUT this is still a free country. The courts impose relatively mild sentences on people - those are pretty much determined by law - and then suspend most of the sentence if the person accepts probabtion, and most people will do so to avoid even a few days in jail. HOWEVER the courts then get away with imposing all sorts of illegal/unconstitutional conditions on the probation and the defense lawyers can't or don't do anything about it. That is a sorry racket.
No matter how much makeup she wears, she still looks like the little freckle-faced girl she played in The Parent Trap. And I resent all the legal breaks she gets. She needs someone to take a hard line with her, and a serious consequence that will wake her entitled *ss up once and for all!
