Just like we said earlier about that Linda Lovelace movie- don’t hold your breath. According to some people who were there in court, Lohan had this smirk on her face you’d want to wipe off with acid.
from www.radaronline.com – Lindsay Lohan has avoided jail, but the troubled star is under strict orders to abstain from alcohol, wear an alcohol-monitoring bracelet and submit to random weekly drug testing.
Superior Court Judge Marsha Revel — as streamed live on RadarOnline.com — also banned Lohan from filming a new movie project in Texas, because it would fall outside the range of her SCRAM bracelet.
Lohan’s high-powered attorney Shawn Chapman Holley argued – but failed to convince the judge – that wearing the SCRAM bracelet would interfere with Lindsay’s upcoming movie and photo shoots.
Holley requested Lohan be allowed to submit to random testing in Texas.
“She needs to submit to random drug testing here, not in Texas, there is no excuse,” said Judge Revel.
The judge clearly wasn’t buying any of Lindsay’s excuses during Monday’s court proceeding.
“Failure to show for a random drug test is the same as a dirty test,” Judge Revel warned Lohan.
When asked if she understood, Lohan — after counsulting Holley — said: “Yes your honor.”
In the dramatic court hearing, Los Angeles County Deputy District Attorney Danette Meyers also requested Lohan prove she had purchased a airline ticket from Cannes to the U.S.
Holley said she would present that evidence to the court.
Lohan — wearing a black suit, white shirt and dark sunglasses — walked into the courthouse at 8.38am PDT, accompanied by her high-powered attorney. She was due at 8.30am PDT.
Holley informed the court Lohan was not late. “We were downstairs at the appropriate time… There was an issue with security,” she said.
In a pre-hearing interview, a teary Lohan insisted she was in compliance with everything the court has ordered, slamming her father, and stating: “I have always taken responsibility for my actions. Always.”
Judge Marsha Revel issued a bench warrant when Lohan failed to appear in court for a status hearing last Thursday.
Lohan claimed to have been stuck in France because her passport was stolen while she was promoting her latest role at the Cannes Film Festival.
But the judge took a dim view of the no-show and shot down Lindsay’s lawyers arguments with a simple, “actions speak louder than words.”
The warrant was quickly rescinded when Lohan posted $100,000 bail.
Lohan’s mother Dina later admitted, in an exclusive interview with RadarOnline.com, that her daughter was advised not to return to the US while a warrant was out for her arrest.
“We did what we had to do to protect her,” Dina told RadarOnline.
Lohan was ordered to appear again in court on July 6.
