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.

61. I just hope the next time we get to watch a video of Lindsey Lohan, it is of her being turned away from the doors of every nightclub in LA for being UNDERAGED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why aren't these bars being prosecuted for allowing underage drinkers in for the publicity. MK and Ashley, Lindsey, Hillary Duff, etc...have no business being in a bar. Everyone knows who they are and that they are underaged. If something terrible would have happened with that crash, the bar could be sued. If I were them I'd never let her in again.

62. This place ( Promises) was featured on a few TV shows. Who they trying to kid?
I give Lohan 2 weeks out before she is sneaking booze from her closet at home.
Had she gone to some place outside of her party zone I might have more hope. I promise she needs a lot more than 30 days.

63. I know this is not a funny matter, but...

I don't think she want to be outdone by Paris Hilton, so she's gone and done it!!!

Personnally I wish she and her whole gang of ding bats need to go away for good already. Her days of being a cutesy are long gone....Really!!!

64. While it is good to hear that she is getting professional help for her addictions, it is getting tiresome that celebs use the "going to rehab" card only when facing a court of law to minimize what they may be sentenced with -- maybe she should have never left a rehab facility so soon the last time considering her DUI accident and another rough nite the very next night! Maybe society should consider doing our part and not cover these troubled starlets so much when they hit rock bottom,. Maybe a good old fashion non condoning of self-destruction and reckless behavior is more in order here since so many of these celebs are ruining their lives & possibly endangering others while they cant take the time to realize how fortunate they really are as opposed to ruminating about how awful their lives are in their minds. Their behavior and our being fascinated with it is NOT a decent message for our children.

For all you that think drinking, doing blow & whatever else for recreation is no big deal, wake up, its deadly & destructive...nothing funny or impressive about that.

67. "not the in-and-out ruse used by other starlets in the recent past"

Um, Who are the other startlets???? Lohan was the only one who went to the "in and out ruse" called WONDERLAND!

68. If I were a rich as she is, I might be a party fiend too, especially if the DANG BARS and CLUBS didn't drool all over her and break the law by serving her!

These underage celebrities can go anywhere they want and get drunk. Oh, they might be stopped once in a while, but when do you ever hear that the farking nightclub they were at was found liable for serving a minor???

69. these people are always running to rehab when the law is involved.
i really do wish her luck because she needs it and i dont understand why these people who serve her alcohol dont get into trouble!

i have the most respect for Robert Downey Jr because he had a serious problem with drugs/alcohol and he sure did pay for it.
maybe these people should call him and get some advice!

70. Where the heck is her Mother? What a sad, pitiful situation.

71. Why do Lindsay, Britney, Paris, et al get sent to a cushy "rehab," when the rest of us would be thrown in jail if we did one-quarter of the controlled substances that they did? Oh, it's because they're "celebrities."

72. "17. why the hatred toward LiLo? She is a NORMAL 20 year old girl! What? no of you loser have EVER DRIVEN DRUNK? yeah right! Get a life. So she is an actress. That's her JOB! Living a PERFECT LIFE is not. She is human. She screws up. we all do! hers is just on camera. Imagine if everythinng you did, everywhere you went, every time you screwed up was documented for the world. it would suck!!!

Posted at 1:48PM on May 29th 2007 by I am being too much"



I don't hate Lindsay I pity her. She needs help and I am glad she is getting it. However what is going on with her isn't just a little "screw up". She did something that could have killed herself or someone else. She doesn't need to live a perfect life, but she needs to live a sober one. She is an addict.

To answer your question, no I have NEVER driven drunk, even at 20! I had to pay nearly $100.00 of my hard earned waitress tips (Which I really couldn't afford to do) one time because my designated driver got drunk, and I was in no condition to drive. However it was more important to me to save my life and those around me than to be what you call "normal". Normal is not being selfish and taking a chance with other's lives. That is what you call SELFISH and IMMATURE! If you want to party like a big girl, act like it and don't drive drunk! #17 if you drink and drive, please do us all a favor and STAY OFF THE ROAD! Lindsay is now getting help, and hopefully realizes that her behavior isn't "normal", and will never again take her own life, or that of others in her hands by drinking and driving. Speaking of "Get a life", Lindsay is getting a new life and hopefully you will save your own life by realizing that when you drink you need to get someone else to drive ALWAYS!

73. I was just catching up on her incident this weekend. This rehab crap is bs! These celebs are making rehab a joke to the people who really need it. Her ass needs to be in jail like any other person. Granted, I realize it could take a few months to get this case to trial but cocaine was found in the car? I watch cops and if coke is found in the car your ass is in jail. It doesn't matter if it was on you or not.

It almost sounds as if she goes to an "intense" rehab program all will be forgiven. DUI, cocaine, under 21, Hit and Run - she needs to be in jail!! If she gets away with this, which will be a huge mistake, she will get out of rehab, drink and drive, and be the next celeb to kill someone. What the hell is it going to take for the authorities, including judges and DA, to prosecute these celebs. I wonder how much they get paid to look the other way. My fear is, that it is going to take the death of a loved one to a judge, or high power authority figure to make a difference. Why should these judges, cops, DA people care about someone elses family, they accept blood money to turn the other way. Karma!

74. Hey Melissa #46, Melissa, Melissa,
It's stupid posts like yours which tell a lot about you. Basically you're telling everyone that you make stupid mistakes over and over. Believe me, that's not normal, don't sell yourself short, you don't HAVE to make stupid mistakes. If it's alcohol, drugs, smoking, or whatever problems you have, start by stopping with the excuses and understand that just because other people make stupid decisions does NOT mean it's ok for you.

I'm living proof that you don't have to make stupid choices over and over. When was the last time I make a stupid mistake? Probably over 5 years ago. And nothing ever THIS stupid. It's easier than you think to live a clean mistake-free life.

And most people on here who post their disapprovals for LiLo understand that you CAN'T justify her behavior. It's disgusting and should NOT be tolerated. Just because a few destructive drunks are living dangerously in hollywood shows instead of on "cops" doesnt mean we should find excuses for them.

75. Why are you people ripping into her so hard. She is making lots of
mistakers that is true but come-on she is just 20 years old. Not vey
many 20 year olds are mature.
