Lohan Chauffeured by Lawyer to Rehab

TMZ has confirmed that Lindsay Lohan checked into Promises rehab facility under the watchful eye of her lawyer.

TMZ spotted mega-lawyer Blair Berk driving Lohan to the facility on Monday. Sources tell TMZ this is "a serious medical treatment program," not the in-and-out ruse used by other starlets in the recent past. We're told Lohan will be a resident at the facility, possibly for 30 days, but her outpatient treatment will last much longer.

241. Yep the same type of lawyer who always supports their stars contention that its the publicist or others opinions of them that pushed them to the edge of that cliff. Notice its never their problem or something inside them causing an abuse disorder. When you want to avoid the harsh truth of rehab, ALWAYS play the blame game! Gawd I wanna throw up!

243. Leave the poor girl alone. Seriously does anyone have anything better to do then put other people down. Remember it is those with their own self esteem issues that continue to talk trash about people. How sad!!!!! Get a life!!!!

244. Of course. It was her lawyer who told her that rehab attendance might keep her out of the slammer.

246. Too much temptation in hollywood especially younger stars! Definitely she needs a mother intervention! Speaking of intervention, where is the father?

247. Lindsays mom is just sickening and WTF would you want to make your other kids famous seeing as what fame did to your daughter and ontop of this her mother was freaking promoting her behavior,. What is her reality show going to be about? How she slowly destroys her other children?

Lets talk about her dad opening a Rehab center costing like $40,000..This guy is totally broke so where is he getting that money from not to mention this guy has been in rehab quite a few times, what is it going to be? A family clinic?

Both her parents need to stop trying to get famous and make names for themselves and start helping there daughter get threw what she is going threw, neither of her parents sound fit to be raising children.

I do not even like Lindsay, I think she is a horrible actor and singer and a total b** because she put down Britney Spears being in rehab yet here she is in rehab not long after and she has been in rehab before but I feel sorry for her because her parents just do not seem to give a damn and just seem to be trying to make themselves and there other kids famous by Lindsay being in rehab, out of all the times for them two to do the stuff they are doing they do it while there daughter is in rehab, its kinda like "yay lindsay is in rehab and out of the picture now lets make us and our other kids famous". After all Lindsay has done she may not even be famous after she gets out of rehab so there goes mommy and daddies free ride, maybe thats why there trying to make themseleves and there other kids famous.

249. Real, lasting, recovery requires coming to the end of yourself... doing it your way doesn't work anymore. Money and fame is a substantial buffer, but not a complete one.

Recovery also requires having someone who has truly gotten through the 12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous to show the way. This is rarer than one may fully realize. "You can't transmit what you haven't got."

I would love to offer a low profile, genuine recovery to Lindsay, and others, if ever there is genuine interest to get well, and get honest. May that happen for you, Lindsay!

250. I don't watch many movies now because so many people fake actors. Movie Companies rather have low-life IN SPOTLIGHT drunk, rich, bitches or bastards than GOOD famous actors.

251. She's just in there as a publicity stunt and taking the time to plan her boozing 21st birthday party. She is still in denial about herself having a problem. 30 days won't be enough time for her to make the drastic change she needs to make. She will come out & it will not be much different. If she won't help herself, she does not deserve to be this big star. The public needs to let directors know they are insulted by having her be allowed to star in movie roles that portray caring/accountable people when in fact, in real life she proudly flaunts her addictions. No more of her movies.

252. We've all seen Lindsay's self-destructive spree for the last few years now, and it is amazing that she is even still alive. To idolize her for what she used to be is one thing, but for her to have any fans at this point is as insane as she is. Fans need to leave her alone so that she can see that her hard partying is not just a part of her that is accepted, and anyone giving her any movie parts while she is doing the things that she is doing is only adding to her ego and condoning her irresponsibilities. There's no doubt about her potential, but unless she changes nearly all of her habits, she will have no future and end up just another has-been child star. We have enough of them already.

253. I believe that she is a human being that needs help, not to be put down. It would be nice to see her make a wise decisions and become a responsible young lady but when a disease has you by the ASS, sometimes it takes for a person to fall on their ASS more than once before getting the help they really need. I hope that she looks way deep inside and finds the true meaning of life. When someone is down, WHY kick them? Does it justify her behavior, NO....but we dont need to make her stuff our stuff......Clean your side of the street and let her clean her side of the street....so dont take her stuff so damn personal, its not about you................

254. The disease of addiction is cunning, baffling and powerful. Jail is not the answer, treatment is nill. Lohan has to want recovery, simple as that. Until she surrenders and realizes that she is powerless, there is no chance of recovery.
