Lohan will go to rehab as part of plea deal Roswell Daily Record
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Lindsay Lohan isn’t headed back to jail — but she won’t be free to party for a while either. The troubled 26-year-old actress accepted a plea deal on Monday in a misdemeanor car crash case that includes 90 days in a locked-down rehabilitation facility that she won’t be able to leave. Lohan, who has struggled for years with legal problems and been briefly jailed five times, pleaded no contest to reckless driving and lying to police who were investigating the accident involving the actress in June along Pacific Coast Highway. A charge of obstructing an officer was dropped. Lohan also was found in violation of her probation in a 2011 necklace theft and sentenced to 180 days in jail. However, she can avoid jail time if she complies with the conditions of her plea deal, which also includes 30 days of community labor, 18 months of psychological therapy and an unspecified fine and restitution. Lohan spoke little to Superior Court Judge James R. Dabney in court and said “yes” when asked if she accepted the plea deal. Before the “Mean Girls” actress left the court-
room, Dabney offered her a suggestion. “Don’t drive,” he said. Dabney did not set a date for Lohan to begin rehab. Instead he set another hearing for May 2, when the court must be given proof of enrollment in a treatment program. The sentence extends Lohan’s probation for another two years. Dabney war ned her that there won’t be any discussion about putting her back on probation if she doesn’t meet the conditions of the latest sentence. Lohan arrived nearly an hour late for Monday’s proceedings and was showered with confetti as she passed through a barrage of media to enter the courthouse. The “Freaky Friday” star reportedly missed her original Sunday night flight from New York to Los Angeles, instead traveling on a private plane provided by a Los Angeles-based energy drink company for which she has made promotional appearances. “Thanks Mr. Pink for the private jet see you all in a few hours in LA,” she tweeted early Monday. After entering the courtroom, Lohan sat for more than two hours as her New York-based attorney, Mark Jay Heller, and prosecutors ironed out a plea deal. After a pair of arrests for
driving under the influence in 2007, Lohan has resolved her numerous legal issues without going to trial. Instead she has faced judges who have sentenced her to rehab and counseling, which even her current attor ney acknowledges have not completely helped the troubled actress. Lohan entered Monday’s hearing with a lawyer whose competence has been questioned by a judge. At one point during the proceedings, she told an incessant Heller not to “say anything else.” Lohan and Heller were joined by Long Beach-based attorney Anthony J. Falangetti. Lohan’s longtime advocate, Shawn Holley, left the case earlier this year after keeping the actress out of jail for significant periods of time on probation violations and the allegation in 2011 that she took a $2,500 necklace without permission from an upscale jeweler. After Lohan left the courthouse, her father, Michael Lohan, who brought his own legal team to the proceedings, confronted Heller and Falangetti. Michael Lohan told reporters that Heller was being investigated for witness tampering in the case and was not being paid by

Instead, Lohan said the attor ney took the case to gain media attention. Heller did not respond to the claim by Lohan at the courthouse. A call to his New York office was not immediately returned. “Go home,” Michael Lohan called out to him. “You have done enough damage. Leave my daughter alone and stay out of the press. You’re a parasite.” Lohan, who’s had a strained relationship with
Thirty Seconds to Mars debuts single in space NEW YORK (AP) — Rock band Thirty Seconds to Mars wanted the announcement for their latest studio album to be out of this world. And that’s where the album’s first single debuted. “Up in the Air” was sent to the International Space Station for an exclusive listening Monday. It will be released Tuesday on Earth. The new album, “Love Lust Faith + Dreams,” will be available May 21. A c om pa ct d i sc c on t a in i n g t h e so n g w a s lau n ch e d o n a F a l co n 9 r o c k et f r o m C ap e Canaveral, Fla., on March 1. The band got to watch the rocket blast into space. “It was amazing to feel it take off,” frontman Jared Leto said in a recent interview. “The noise and the brightness was overwhelming, and you’re still a mile away.” Leto said the challenge of sending a song into space paled in comparison to being sued for $30 million by EMI when the band was working on “This Is War,” released in 2009, which sold over 500,000 copies. The band also launched an aggressive world tour to promote the CD. “The last album was about closure. There was a battle and a war that we fought. This one is a new beginning,” the 41-year -old singer -actor said. The new single “has to do with getting to a point in your life where you’re ready to let go of the past, embrace change and become more of who you really are,” Leto said. The lawsuit was eventually resolved, and the band has continued working with EMI. Leto said the out-of-this-world debut for the new album was fitting after the enormous weight of the lawsuit was lifted, although sending a CD into space was no easy task. “Most worthy things are not easy to get done.

think a lot of great things have a tremendous amount of challenge, a tremendous amount of dif ficulty, and I think this was one of those things,” he said. Leto said he wrote and recorded more than 70 songs before determining the final 12 for the new album. “My songs must feel like discar ded lovers because I’m continuously abandoning time,” he said. “But that feels better than being sued.” EMI sued the band in 2008 for breach of contract. “That $30 million lawsuit in that battle was very real. It wasn’t a headline. It was something we thought about every single moment of the day that was there, weighing on us. And not just the fact that we would lose and owe a corporation $30 million, but we would have our creative lives stamped out,” Leto said. Their documentary, “Artifact,” chronicles the production of the band’s third album. “The film is highly critical of the record business, but I’m not anti-record label, at all. I’m anti-greed. I’m anti-corruption,” Leto said. “I’m pro-artist. I believe that everybody can win. You don’t have to steal from one another to do it, or to treat one another unfairly.” “Artifact” won the People’s Choice Award at the Toronto Inter national Film Festival and was recently shown at the South by Southwest Film Festival in Austin, Texas. While things are back to normal, Leto feels the “cuts are still fresh.” “I think they’re healing. But they’re definitely not healed yet. It takes some time. The good news is that there’s an entirely new group that’s running things. It’s essentially a new record company,” Leto said.
his daughter over the years, was restrained by his attorney and separated from Heller and Falangetti by a sheriff’s deputy. Heller “is her official representative,” Falangetti told Lohan. “You are not.” Lindsay Lohan has been a courthouse mainstay since 2010 when she failed to appear for a probation hearing because she claimed she lost her passport in France. By that point, she had already been on probation for nearly three years on
