Happy 25th Birthday, Lindsay Lohan
Lindsay Lohan turns 25 years old today, and what a year she's had. Make that: What a 25 years she's had. Right now, she's free to celebrate wherever she likes, since her house arrest ended on June 29 (her first night out already triggered a
paparazzi frenzy).
A year ago, on her last birthday, LiLo could hardly have predicted the legal sagas that would unfold in the months ahead.
Back in July 2010, just a few days after turning 24, she was
sentenced to 90 days in jail, followed by 90 days in rehab, for probation violation stemming from her 2007 DUI. (Lohan's
profane manicure made headlines during that court appearance.) She moved into a
sober living facility as the start of her jail stint loomed.
She wasn't behind bars long:
Booked into jail in handcuffs on July 20, 2010, Lohan was
released less than two weeks later and ordered to begin rehab at UCLA Medical Center. But she only served a fraction of that sentence as well,
completing treatment in just 23 days. Less than a month later, she was headed back to court,
tweeting, "Regrettably, I did in fact fail my most recent drug test..."
She was
booked into jail again on Sept. 24, 2010, but a judge overturned the decision, and she
left jail the same day when she was granted $300,000 bail. That same month, she
settled a lawsuit she'd filed against E-Trade over a commercial in which a baby named "Lindsay" was called a "milkaholic."
Days after getting bailed out of jail, Lohan
entered rehab at Betty Ford. In late October, she was
ordered to remain in rehab until Jan. 3, 2011. While she was in treatment, 'Inferno' director Matthew Wilder announced Lohan would
no longer star in his Linda Lovelace biopic.
In December 2010, less than a month before her release from rehab, Lohan got into a
scuffle with Betty Ford staff member Dawn Holland (who was eventually
fired for talking to the media, and withdrew her request to press charges).
While she walked out of rehab on schedule, Lohan soon walked right into trouble again when a Venice, Calif., jewelry store accused her in January of
stealing a necklace, claiming they had surveillance video of the actress sneaking out of the shop wearing their merchandise. On Feb. 9, Lohan was charged with felony grand theft and
pleaded not guilty.
On March 10, 2011, her ninth court appearance in ten months, Lohan was given two weeks to choose between a plea deal or a trial; she soon
rejected a plea bargain.
In late April, her theft charge was reduced to a misdemeanor -- she pleaded
no contest -- but the actress was given 120 days in jail and 480 hours of community service for probation violation (for being charged with theft in the first place). She
posted bail and left the detention center within hours, and due to overcrowding, her sentence turned into
house arrest.
During her house arrest, she
shot a commercial and hosted a
roof party, and then news broke in June that Lohan had tested positive for alcohol. But she was quickly let
off the hook on a technicality (she was only supposed to be tested for drugs).
Could the troubled starlet's quarter-century birthday finally mark the beginning of the end of her legal woes? Lohan surely hopes that this year's theme, instead of jail and rehab, will be her long-anticipated career comeback, as she prepares for her role in the
John Travolta movie
'Gotti: Three Generations'.

It's your birthday, it's your birthday. Gosh soooooooooooo many haters for Lindsay Lohan already! I just don't get it what happen to if you don't have anything nice to say, shut the fu*k up? No one has walked a second in her shoes and everyone judges this person to the extreme in all the media. No one has the right to judge her on any level I feel because no one is perfect. I think she is fun actress with a lot of talent, so what she parties, it's not like she has a child to take care of or is a bad person. So she has made a few bad judgements in life, who hasn't? I am sure she will do what she wants, she should, life is short and she does have some fans out there! BUT a lot of pathetic losers that want to talk crap about her 24/7. Go TEAM Lindsay and Happy Birthday honeeee! Gigi

Prove it
You are wrong
Gigi - you are right about ONE thing. Life is short. Unfortunately, some will be shorter than others due to stupid life choices.
Surprised she made it to her 25th Birthday still alive.

I don't think drugs and booze made her look old. It's all the stress of jail, rehab, courts, police etc. They really never care about who or how they hurt people, like a brutal faction. or something. She's gotten to the top of the hill, time go over it. So she drinks and steals so the put her in hell because they care? BS. Once you get arrested your life is over. If you don't follow the rules your out, that's how it is. Yet these violent maniacs and molesters are never caught.

You are a moron
Yeesh. I'm 4 years older and look about 10 years younger than she does in that picture. She better slow down and straighten herself out or she's going to be dead before she's 30 (or she'll end up looking 55 when she's 30). I sincerely wish this poor girl didn't have such a huge group of vapid bloodsuckers in her entourage (including her parents) who constantly encourage this kind of behavior and defend it.

She looks drugged , old, tired, bad, used, nasty, beat skanky. I hope she pulls out of it. 25 yrs old and she is already fried and haggard. She seems unhelpable. Too bad. You can see where that train is on a straight course for a horrible wreck.
