Strapped Lindsay Had Trouble Posting $300K Bail
Lindsay Lohan was released from jail after only 12 hours late Friday, however, sources tell me it nearly didn't happen when Judge Patricia Schnegg set bail at a whopping $300,000.
"Lindsay hasn't earned that sort of money in a long time," a family insider tells me. "There was a moment when the family honestly thought Lindsay wasn't going to be released because they didn't have that amount of money available to post bail."
My source tells me it would have been a "tragedy" if, after all her lawyer's hard work, Lindsay would have had to stay locked up just because of family money issues.
In the "good news" department, Lindsay is heading back to a live-in rehab facility outside Los Angeles rehab this week. Voluntarily, I might add. She dominated headlines going into last weekend, when she was taken into custody Friday, denied bail, then granted bail by day's end after Judge Schnegg overturned Judge Elden Fox's ruling.
Is she FINALLY heeding her father's pleas to sober up? In a statement to PopEater on Saturday, Michael said, "Hopefully, she will go into a rehab NOW, to keep her freedom, to show the judge that she is serious and to make the decision that will truly change her life for the better."

Michael Lohan to PopEater: 'God Wanted' This For Lindsay
So whose fault is it that she doesn't have much green these days?
Lindsay hasn't been earning A-list cash for a long time, but she has continued to live the lifestyle of a major star. When I saw the troubled star recently in New York, she was wearing thousands of dollars in designer clothes and was being chauffeured around in a fancy car, all while staying at one of the city's most expensive hotels.
Many insiders have wondered how she paid for this while working so little in recent years.
"It's not a big secret that Lindsay needs money," a friend of the LiLo tells me. "She makes most of her cash selling stories or photographs to the magazines and tabloids, but that is nowhere near the sort of cash she used to earn as an actress. The real problem is that every penny she earns she spends. She's always buying new clothes and shoes from expensive stores. There's no one in Lindsay's life telling her she can't afford it. It's a problem almost as serious as her drug addiction."

My reply: And this isn't a news blog, it's a gossip blog. To expect news about what you described on THIS webpage is like going to produce section of a supermarket and demanding a pork roast. If you want meat, go to the butcher shop section of the store. If you want news, go to the news section of AOL and not the gossip section. :P
But I will agree that Lindsay Lohan should have served a lot my jailtime by now, or at least be in a court mandated rehab program and STAY in it until she's fully sober. But eh, her decision to throw away her career, and keep throwing it away.
Dope is pricey. A habit will run you broke in a skinny minute.
Agree with the first post -these so called stars who need a wake up call are NOT news -Soldiers are fighting and dying for our country and all the media can print is wheither this spoiled little girl has enough money for bail!!!!!!! Who is going to pay for her rehab??? It had better not be the tax payers.
Pampering her with good food, clean rooms, doctors etc. isn't the answer, she's had all of that before and look where it got her. Put her butt in jail, among other dopeheads and let her tough it out. She doesn't deserve any better. These tactics should be used for all hollywood types when they get caught. These liberal judges need to be taken from the bench and replaced with hard-nosed judges who won't put up with slick lawyers and worthless characters like her.
LINDSAY DOES NOT NEED JAIL A PERSON ON DRUGS AND ALCOHOL IS SICK AND WHAT THEY NEED IS REHAB TO FIGHT THE ADDICTION AND PRAYER. WE ARE ALL CHILDREN OF GOD AND SO IS SHE. I PRAY THAT SHE GETS THE HELP SHE NEEDS. JAIL WILL NOT GIVE HER THAT HELP. GOD BLESS ALL THE LOHAUN FAMILY.
How did Linzey afford the bail money? Well, she HAS been rehearsing for a movie where she's playing Linda Lovelace. You do the math.
Oh my God...this is the most true statement I have heard in a long time. I swear they talk about calebs and there retarded drama like it is more important than our heros fighting for this country. RIP to every fallen hero and to the families that have to suffer. Who gives a crap about calebs and there stupid drama especially Lohan she is relapsing every other day. Who cares.
To sherry vonbartheld: If you can't turn off your "Cap Locks", get off the board. You are a menace.
Also, Lohan is a menace to herself and everyone around her. She has been given numerous chances at "rehab", but has blown everyone of them off.
Contrary to your personal beliefs, no act of a God, Christ, or any other supposed diety can fix this careless girl.
She has to do it herself, and she is apparently not in the mood to do that.
Send her sorry, drug-ridden butt to jail and let her work it out for herself.
Other than that, shoot the "B" and save the taxpayers' money. What good is she to society?
So true the soldier got kill for keeping us American Safe.. Who's care what Lohan want to do with her life.. she is devil in human body.. grow up and get a life.. go help the old people in hostpets may be the best Therapy for her to see how old people suffer and lonely , those whose stay healthy and live a good life do not suffer before they have to leave this world to be with Christ. Lohan is junky. leave her in jail, so she wont be drunk driving and kill the innocent people.
Yes Li Lo needs to do some serious jail time,she thinks this is funney,just look at the pics with that stupid smirk on her face,oh ya, what about that bubble headed blonde Paris ?? she needs some jail time to,lots of it,what a sleezzz bag.I love this , So does My boyfriend .he is almost 11year older than me .i met him via agegapsingl es.c 'om a nice place for seeking age le ss love.which gives you a chance to make your life better and open opportunities for you to meet the attractive young girls and treat you like a king. Maybe you wanna check it out or tell your friends.. Just love it
this chick needs the robert downey jr. lesson. jail for a long time. as long as she keeps skating on her celebrity, she'll keep chipping on the skizz.
she's sick and needs to be saved from herself at this point.
unless, of course, she dies, at which case we'll all be relieved of her battle, right along with her.
I totally agree!
you are right on it (cftenor). It Couldn't have been said better than anyone else....you sound like maybe you were a soldier. if so, right on for that to and i thank you sir. thomas
AGREE!
Maybe someone should tell your family insider that you only have to pay 10% of bail.

That's only IF a bail bondsman will post it for you--if they won't then you are responsible for the full amount
I read somewhere that she's got a bailbondsman in her entourage. In. Her. Entourage. If that isn't a gigantic red flag, what is?
Linzey Loman is a freakin idiot.
Joanna: Bail is at the discretion of the judge - the 10% rule may have not applied in this case.
I think Lindsay should go far away for in-patient rehab and not near L.A. where 'questionable' family and friends can visit.
The best facility in the U.S. is Hazelden, which is forty miles north of Minneapolis and very secluded. I went there for 28 days and it worked. It is better than Betty Ford and Promises and cost about the same. It is the first of its' kind to be built in our country and it is very swank, even for a spolied brat like Lindsay.
Rob Shutter you are a mess. and should be ashamed!
