Lindsay Lohan Begins House Arrest Today

By Kiki Von Glinow Posted May 26th 2011 12:30PM

We hope Lindsay Lohan is comfortable in her crib because she's going to be spending a lot more time there, starting today. Earlier this morning, Lohan arrived at the Lynwood Jail before returning to her Venice, California home to begin her house arrest sentence, according to People.

"She is now confined to the interior premises of her home at all times," LA Sheriff's spokesman, Steve Whitmore, told People.

To keep Lohan in check, officers fitted the 24-year-old starlet with an electronic ankle monitoring bracelet that will not allow Lohan to leave her premises.

Although Lohan was originally sentenced to four months in jail after pleading no contest to the theft of a $2,500 necklace, it was decided that she would serve her sentence in the comfort of her own home due to facility overcrowding.

People also reports that Lohan could spend as little as two weeks on house arrest if she displays good behavior -- an option made possible due to the city's budget restraints. But she won't get off that easy, Lohan still must complete her 480 ordered hours of community service which she'll split between a downtown LA women's shelter and the county morgue.

Lohan's house arrest sounds more like a relaxing stay-cation to us. And hey, if she gets lonely, she can always throw a house party.

She should be used to ankle attire by now. Send her down to Port Saint Lucie Florida and she can have a lovely stay at Rock Road...and I don't mean Diamonds.

Really??? House arrest? How is this punishment? Meals cooked, swimming pool, wake up service, If she went to jail for the 4 months she might think twice about doing that again, In jail you get up a 5am make your own bed scrubs toilets,wash clothes or some other job that has no meaning. Actually PAY your debt to society. There will be photographers outside her house 24/7 just to get a pic of her that no one care's about?? When her sentence is done she just goes on with her life as if nothing happened and gets headlines for being a "good girl". People end this and dont pay attention to her crap anymore.

"Interior premises" so.... no pool unless it is an indoor one that is within the house itself, not a separate building.

I do understand about the overcrowding but if she's on house arrest, which she has to pay the costs of, I'm sure, I fail to see where she needs a drastically reduce sentence. That's just wrong. She should get to pick between cushy and short, but not both.

She will be busy hosting home jewelry parties...

@UhHuh, Let's chill out. I believe people just picked the wrong word and if i'm not mistaken, what Chris Calvin meant is "Aristocrat" and not "Democrat". As to Linsay, nobody's perfect, she could repent and change. It's not too late. She's beautiful and she should realize that she can also be beautiful inside.

I THINK YOU ARE WRONG!! HE SAID DEMOCRAT AND MEANT IT. NOT LIKE IT`S A 1 LETTER TYPO TO GET TO ARISTOCRAT. PISSES ME OFF THAT YOU TRY TO DEFEND BY SAYING WHAT HE REALLY THOUGHT. CAN YOU READ MINDS? NOOOOOOOOOO--FOOL

Nothing like being confined to a luxury hotel for two or three weeks, which the rest of the country goes to jail and eats bologna sandwiches for lunch every single day.

Equal justice? Right.

By joyce

No room? Then send her to a homeless shelter to wash dishes and work there. That should give her a chance to see how lucky she is and maybe she will grow up.

Party at Lindsay's!

Gee, wouldn't it be great to be a d-list, almost was and be able to thumb your nose at all laws and do whatever you like - then be sentenced to staying home?? Unbelievable what this chick gets away with.

By K9waste

What a Joke! She will never learn her lesson as long as they keep treating her like she is some kind of celebrity.
I wonder if they will be giving her drug tests and checking for alcohol, because I'm sure she got stocked up.

By Claud Pipkin

(Due to over crowing) that and the fact that some nut would try to hurt her, off her, or have their way with her..........In other words the shoe would be one the other foot........The judge and whoever else would end up in the pokey.....

By nudelhi

Why is it that all these CELEBRITIES get away with MURDER, THEFT and other crimes. How many times does this girl have to be put away before people realize that she is not worthy of ANY kind of publicity? Negative or Positive. OJ, finally is somewhere locked away...Don't hear about him anymore...thank goodness.

By rwats0867

Her house arrest is a joke, and a slap in the face.

By Eddie
