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.

Consider it a given to her because the last house party she attented, she walked out of there carrying a bundle of designer clothes that belonged to one of the residence. And now, since she is under house arrest, she has to steal from herself.

What a goat.

Just have to say, I dont believe she took the necklas, Working in jewelry for a long time. A good sales person knows. you never bring out more then one piece at a time. NO MATTER WHO IT IS!! I believe the sales girl probably said she could borrow it and then got caught and said she took it. I know I wouldnt let anymore put something on and walk out!!!! Shame on the sales girl and the media...

By J

She can't leave the house.

She can't do her drugs.

I want to have sex with her.

I think the solution that's best for everyone here is obvious.

By Diane

This is sooo friggin pathetic. If that were you or I we would be sitting in jail.The whole system sucks!

By Toni

Can't believe she skates again. Note to Judge.............you ain't helping her, unless you have money on when she od's. What a joke and a waste of talent & opportunity.

i AM FACING A LITTLE LEGAL PROBLEM MYSELF RIGHT NOW. I`M GONNA ASK FOR A PLEA BARGAIN, SENT TO HAVE TO SPEND 2 WEEKS ARREST AT HER HOUSE, AND I HAVE TO GIVE HER A DAILY MOUSTACHE RIDE. I`LL ASK MY LAWYER TOMORROW ABOUT IT.

how many times is this one going to get off EASY. Somebody is being PAID OFF

By Dick

This is just another example of how these so-called stars (a stretch in her case) get preferential treatment. I don't care how crowded the facility is, they could send her to another facility or release someone who does not pose any danger to society. House arrest ... that's no arrest at all.

The Democrats are the definition of Double Standard. The press worships democrats, and bash republlicians. This is a FACT, if you cannot see that, you are blind. Double Standards are there in Social, Fininacial, AND Political areans, To leave one out because you may not agree, is just plain "closing your eyes" to what you don't want to think abou, or do not agree with.

@Hello- If i had misunderstood what the guy said or word he used, then my mistake and i'm not trying to defend the person, i'm just disappointed with people who had to judge people so fast like you calling me a fool...YOU MORON!BIG A***HOLE!

Just a thought because the prison is supposably overcrowded, why didn't they release others that have been in prison serving time to make room for her so she could start serving her time in jail.
