Strapped Lindsay Had Trouble Posting $300K Bail

By Rob Shuter Posted Sep 27th 2010 08:45AM

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."

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."

She should stay in jail the full term. What a sleaze ball. The normal Joe or Mary would get the book thrown at them.

By bgatlake

Too bad she's is not too broke to buy drugs and alcohol. But I guess her enablers would still provide it for her.

By John

Who cares?

By joann

John its a human life, hopefully the rehab will work for her. If not she will make bigger news someday. Prayers

By mw

I'm sure a bailbonds man put up the 30.000 dollars to get her butt out of jail, if people would stop helping her, maybe she would get the message, and take responsibility for her actions. She will never learn til something tragic happens. Loser

By julie

so she got out again...will wonders never cease? So when will we hear hear dying of an OD now?

The problem is that Lohan has learned over time that there are no consequences to her bad behavior. Her parents have done her a terrible disservice by bailing her out of trouble all the time. The best thing for Lohan would be to actually spend some serious time in jail where she would eventually learn that she better change her entitled ways or suffer the consequences. Her parents do everything wrong and have created a monster.

By joe know it all

Maybe someone should tell your family insider that you only have to pay 10% of bail.

+++++++++++++++++++
ahhhhh yes... 10 percent, but you have to guarantee the other
90 percent with something of value like a home, car,
property, because if she skips bail, then your only out
30,000 dollars on a 300,000 bail... and the bond man
has no way to collect the rest except sue.... so it truth
you do post the full amount, but not with the courts, with
the bonds man.

small bonds of say a grand are like a credit card, faith you will pay ...

By Leigh

where did she get 300,000? people need to STOP helping her..she's never going to learn anything if there's always someone there to bail her out..I say ( lock her up and, throw away the key)

By TOM HOLLEMAN

THE POOR DRUG ADDICT IS OUT OF MONEY, HOW SAD, LOL... JAIL SHOULD NOT BE A BIG DEAL, SHE DOSN'T WORK ANYWAYS, GOOD PLACE TO DETOX...

By Jane

That person, thing, whatever she might think of herself is making a mockery of our justice system. They need to throw that little girl's butt in jail and throw away the key!!!!!!

AMEN!!!!!!!!!

By Ashley

My thoughts exactly! Amen! Throw her in jail. She's had too many chances to clean herself up...

By metj1122

That's what will save her is when she runs out of money to spend on drugs, parties and bail. Stop buying anything that she sells.

By Hey Beotch!!!

First of all the bond was set at 300,000 so 30,000 would be the actual amount needed up front. Second, am sure a bail bondsman put up the cash because of her high proile. So I think this article is bs
