Lindsay back in jail...

Not that I give two hoots about her, but let's hope she stays there and starts to figure out how to straighten her life out.



BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. - A judge sent Lindsay Lohan back to jail Friday after she failed a drug test, and the troubled starlet could stay there for nearly month.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Elden S. Fox did not set bail and Lohan was taken into custody immediately after the hearing at the Beverly Hills courthouse.

Fox set Lohan's next court appearance for Oct. 22. It will be Lohan's third jail stint for a three-year-old drug and drunken driving case filed after a pair of high-profile arrests in 2007.

Her previous stays at a women's jail in a Los Angeles suburb lasted 84 minutes and 14 days.

Lohan acknowledged failing a court-ordered drug screening last week in a series of Twitter postings.

Lohan arrived at the Beverly Hills courthouse Friday about 10 minutes before the hearing was set to start, wearing sunglasses and accompanied by her mother, Dina. Her father, Michael Lohan, arrived earlier.

It was the "Mean Girls" star's first appearance before Fox, who had said at a previous hearing he would sentence her to a month in jail for each drug test she skipped or failed.

I agree, she needs to stay. I'm so sick of her getting out for these things, but there are people in jail and doing community service for lesser offenses.

Even more outrageous is the news that she actually got a settlement out of that lawsuit against etrade.

Everyone's bottom is different...but I have a couple of friends who credit prison as a final wake up call. Sometimes sitting behind bars is exactly what they need.

Being in prison can turn a lot of men into bottoms.

Death pool material. She won't be long for the Earth.

So now we get another month of Lindsay on the entertainment shows. Ugh.

Is she following the Robert Downey, Jr. career guide? Establish your talent young, burn out shortly after that, and come back in a few years with an amazingly hot career path.

I can't help but feel that Lindsay's star was shining much brighter before her descent than Dana Plato's was before hers. Dana was already pretty much a has-been by the time of her death, whereas Lindsay, and maybe it's only because of the way the media has changed in the past decade, is still very much a public figure and seems to be burning out in the midst of what could have been a strong career if it wasn't being overshadowed by her antics.
