Lindsay Lohan Lets Her Fingernail Do the Talking

Just before being
sentenced Tuesday to 90 days in jail for violating the terms of her probation, Lindsay Lohan pleaded with the judge, saying, "I'm not taking this as a joke, it's my life and career. I don't want you to think I don't respect you and your terms."
But the perennially troubled star's hand -- actually her fingernail -- told a different story. Written neatly on the middle finger of her left hand was a crass message, one that doesn't exactly show much "respect" for the court or the judge.

Was her one-finger salute meant for Judge Marsha Revel? We may never know, but given their shared animosity, it's hard to imagine Lohan wouldn't want to send a message in the courtroom.
Lohan may have shown poor judgment in writing such a thing on her nail, but because Revel failed to notice it during the actual hearing, it's highly doubtful she'll get into more trouble for it.
"A finding of contempt of court can be showing disrespect for the judge generally at the time it occurs not after -- or retroactively," attorney, legal expert and author
Vikki Ziegler told PopEater. "It would be very difficult to prove that the nail art was intended for the Judge to be disrespectful at the hearing."
Ziegler noted that while it was inappropriate for Lohan to write the expletive on her nail, "I don't believe it rises to level of contempt as legally defined."
The 'Mean Girls' star was calm and collected in the Beverly Hills courtroom until sentencing, but when the judge handed down her decision, it became abundantly clear the actress was unaware how badly her day would end. She even took to Twitter in the early morning to voice her excitement about a sale on Louis Vuitton bags.
Lohan was sentenced to 90 days in jail followed by a 90-day in-patient rehab program for violating probation on a previous DUI case. She must surrender to the court on July 20 at 8:30am to begin serving her time.
Sheriff's spokesperson Steve Whitmore said many female inmates in Lohan's situation only serve about 25% of their sentence -- which means about 23 days for Lohan.

Given her strange behavior, I am not suprised she had something written on her nails. However, just because it was there it doesn't mean it was meant for the judge. It likely could have been, but that would take some planning and well she is not much of a planner, lol.

It's like she's twelve years old.
Maybe a stint in the hoosegow will save her life.
Lindsey has some serious entitlement issues. Maybe judge should have on her nail "can you hear me now"! Silly I know but, this sentence plus rehab may get Lindsay's attention. She is headed on the fast train to the same fate as so many other celebrities which is death by overdose.
While i would agree with the planning part, whatever the reason it was on her finger, she should have had it removed before going to court. She was in no way dressed correctly for court and the judge. She was just daring this judge to kick her in the nads-figurativly speaking, of course-and she did. I would have run out of patience a long time ago. PS-I would say she was dressed correctly for going to jail immediately, maybe she's psychic! This could actually save her life, or at least some innocent bystander's life!!
are you really that stupid? of course it was meant for the judge as she had it put on right before court. wake up this pig needs help and jail!!!
I'd like to show her what she can do with that finger.
What an azzhole she is.

How about the 'shhh...' she has written on the finger of her right hand? Anyone think she was telling that judge to be quiet
Meant for the judge or not, she was going into a courtroom and I would have removed it beforehand. She is already in enough trouble, why not use the brain cells and think about consequences of your stupid actions! This younger generation has no respect and just thinks excuses justify everything!
thin it was meant for anyone who bugged her. but it's also something a teen would do, child like.
Not that I'm sticking up for her. But let me get this straight. She supposedly painted this message on her nail b4 the hearing. Who, but her knew it was there. I for one would have never noticed it had someone not known it was there and took a close up of her nail! Maybe this is the wake up call she needs. Haven't seen Paris acting up in this matter anymore since her stint.. Oh and Lindsay should have gotten a little more, due to the fact she won't be serving the whole 90 day sentence. That is why this country is so screwed up. Money talks, the more you have the more you walk!
not at all surprised.

It's probably meant for photographers. Not that they can see it...

time for her to move on -- we don't want to see her on the big screen. She's a brat and needs her butt kicked by her parents.

ill bet she does the buttkickin in that family.
The sad thing is, her parents are too busy trying to promote themselves and not caring about what she does. I mean, her mom went to bars with her when she was underage! She said she was watching what she did and making sure she wasn't drinking, but if that was the case then why wasn't mom ever in the pics the pappz got of her in the clubs with a drink in her hand? Mom wanted to be a friend and not a parent. Lindsay was famous and mom liked the new lifestyle.
You are a jerk, You talk about this poor and really know nothing about her personally. I agree she needs a lot of help but people like you encourage her to get more depressed so you're a contributor to this behavior.
her parents are huge part of the PROBLEM! Sickos who are in denail and live off the child...they are NO help at all, actually part of the DISEASE. Lohan's flaming acting out are the cries of helplessness of a sick, wounded person.
...and HER parents need hteir butts kicked !! She represents everything that is wrong with this country & the seedy direction in which it is heading. Ah, poor, POOR Lindsay !
PARENTS???? You're kidding, right??? They are almost as bad as she!
