Lindsay Lohan Turns Down Plea Deal And Fires Her Lawyer

Posted on Tue Jan 15th, 2013 12:50pm PDT       By X17 Staff

lohan-legal-drama-230.jpgLindsay Lohan was scheduled to be arraigned in Los Angeles this morning for allegedly lying to police after crashing her Porsche last June, and even though she fired attorney Shawn Holley on Monday, Holley appeared on her behalf today and plead not guilty to the charges.

On Monday Holley was on her way to meet with the prosecutor and the judge to work on a plea deal, but before Holley set foot in the courthouse, Lohan signed her own walking papers, let Holley go and hired New York attorney Mark Heller to handle her legal woes, according to TMZ.

Lohan also reportedly rejected a plea deal that would send her to rehab, and as a result she put herself at risk of being thrown back in jail. You see, the attorney prosecuting Lohan was willing to keep her out of the slammer as long as she agreed to check into "lockdown rehab" for 6 months. Since Lohan rejected the deal, it was likely a bench warrant would have been issued for her arrest, but Holley saved the day today.

Holley tiptoed around the issue of whether she's still Lohan's lawyer, and since the starlet didn't appear in court and there was some confusion regarding the transition, the judge let Holley enter a plea for Lohan. TMZ reported that Heller is not licensed to practice in California and he wasn't in court on Monday or Tuesday.

A pretrial date has been scheduled for January 30th, and Lohan has been ordered to appear. Should be interesting to see what goes down at the end of the month!

Will Lindsay Lohan Go Back To Jail?
Will Lindsay Lohan Go Back To Jail?
Yes! And frankly, after firing her lawyer and turning down a plea deal, she deserves to go to jail!
No way! She always figures a way to weasel her way out of it.
No idea. But even if she does, I doubt she'll learn her lesson...

 

Tara Reid Plays Peek-A-Boo At LAX

She's one of the happiest travelers we've ever seen!

Tara Reid made her way through LAX yesterday, and the American Pie actress must not have realized her shirt was see-thru when photographers began taking her picture, because she was all smiles and didn't seem to have a care in the world!

To the blonde beauty's credit, most times a nude bra under a black shirt is unnoticeable, so it's simply the camera flash that exposes too much cleavage. Kim Kardashian knows a thing or two about this wardrobe malfunction, but something tells us she does it intentionally!

Miss Reid is quite the international traveler in recent years, so we wonder where she was headed this time? Our money is on St. Tropez!

Posted on Tue Jan 15th, 2013 12:00pm PDT       By X17 Staff

eddie-furlong-mug-230.jpgAfter back-to-back arrests late last year, Edward Furlong has been arrested for a third time for domestic violence.

The 35-year-old actor was taken into police custody on Sunday morning after an altercation with his girlfriend, and he reportedly had an outstanding warrant for his arrest from a previous charge when he was picked up by LAPD. The former Terminator 2 star is still in custody, and his mugshot was released today.

And this isn't the only legal drama Furlong has dealt with lately! Ex-wife Rachael Bella recently obtained a court order prohibiting him from spending time alone with their 6-year-old son Ethan, after the boy tested positive for cocaine following a visit with Furlong last year.

Grey's Anatomy star Sara Ramirez, her husband and two friends headed to Mexico to a little R&R, and the group are currently relaxing at celeb hotspot and luxury resort Garza Blanca. Eva Longoria stayed at Garza Blanca in November, and Ashley Greene rang in the new year at the gorgeous resort.

Sara strolled along the beach and lounged by the pool, and a source at the hotel tells us she spent "a lot of her time at the spa enjoying massages, mani/pedis and other services." Um, jealous! Sara also took a private cooking lesson from the head chef at the property in her penthouse suite, and judging by the snapshot above, she also enjoyed a few cocktails. Sounds like a blast!

Victor Garber Reveals He's Gay

garber011513.jpg Another brave Hollywood star coming clean!

Titanic actor and Jennifer Garner's bestie Victor Garber has quietly come out of the closet and revealed he's dating artist Rainer Andreesen.

Asked by blogger Greg Hernandez at the TCA press tour about a fact on the Legally Blonde star's Wikipedia page that said he lives with Andreesen in N.Y.C., Garber confirmed the speculation, saying, "I don't really talk about it but everybody knows. He's going to be out here with me for the SAG awards."

This isn't the first time the Emmy-nominated TV actor has discussed his sexuality, as he quietly addressed it in an interview with Forever Young in April 2012.

"My companion Rainer Andreesen and I have been together almost 13 years in Greenwich Village. We both love New York," he told the publication.

Garber is the latest in a string of celebrities to publicly come out as gay. Although stars like Anderson Cooper, Matt Bomer, and Jodi Foster have been out privately for years, all of them have decided to publicly reveal their sexuality.

We think celebs like this are laying the groundwork for more acceptance and equality! Bravo!
