More trouble for Lindsay Lohan, it just cant seem to avoid her.. could it be that she attracts it or just has bad luck? Today, on her way into court (for a probation progress report) she got served with ANOTHER lawsuit… but the guy who is suing her, is apparently delusional and believes that he took part in the killing of Osama bin Laden. Hmm….

Day 1 of Lindsay Lohan‘s Felony Grand Theft drama is over and there is some good news and some bad news to report. Firstly, Lindsay‘s felony charge have been reduced to a misdemeanor charge … which means that even if she is found guilty of the theft, she cannot be sent to prison for the crime. BUT … here comes the bad news. The judge also ruled that Lindsay violated her probation when she was arrested for the necklace theft earlier this year … and IMMEDIATELY sentenced her to 120 days in jail! Lindsay was taken into custody after court adjourned so she could be booked, mug shot and then tossed behind bars.

Lindsay Lohan has successfully made her way to court in Beverly Hills, CA this morning ready to face Judge Elden Fox for the second time in as many months to determine what, if any, sort of punishment she will face for violating her probation last month by failing two drug tests. You may recall that just about one month ago, L. Lo rolled into court not expecting to be jailed … and then she was immediately jailed for her crimes. Later in the day, after she was booked and incarcerated at the Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood, CA, Lindsay was freed on bail and immediately admitted herself into the Betty Ford Center in Rancho Mirage, CA to wait out the weeks until her next court appearance … which is going on right now:

Despite Lindsay‘s best efforts, it is being reported that the Probation Department here in LA is NOT happy with Lindsay and is not swayed by her stint in rehab. TMZ reports they will recommend that she be jailed for her violation … but, ultimately, the decision will be made by Judge Fox.

There was a report going around last night that Lindsay sprung herself from rehab but it turns out that that report was NOT true. Lindsay stayed at Betty Ford until 4AM this morning when she finally left the center — and went out for some Starbucks. Check out the first photo of Lindsay out of rehab (again), after the jump …

So … in the past few hours since we learned that Lindsay Lohan was denied bail by Judge Elden Fox and was immediately remanded into jail for the next 30 days — with NO HOPE for early release — until her next court hearing on October 22, Lindsay has been pretty bizzy. But before we get to that, let’s check out a few new things from this morning’s court hearing that resulted in Lindsay‘s immediate incarceration. Because there were no cameras or cellphones allowed in the courtroom this morning, the scene inside had to be sketched by courtroom sketch artists Mona Shafer Edwards (who has previously sketched Lindsay‘s court appearances) and Bill Robles. Here is what the scene looked like inside the courtroom this morning, including the moment when Lindsay, with her lawyer Shawn Chapman Holley by her side, was handcuffed and led away to jail, thru the art of Ms. Edwards and Mr. Robles:

After Judge Fox slapped down Lindsay HARD in the courtroom, her media hungry parents made their way out of the courthouse to face the throng of cameras … surprisingly, mama Dina Lohan had nothing to say as she left the building with a plastic bag full of Lindsay‘s things in hand. Papa Michael Lohan, on the other hand, called a press conference to rage against the unfairness of incarcerating his criminal-prone daughter with a 17-year old chico ‘stached preacher by his side:

I don’t even want to waste any further time talking about the Lohan parents … they are despicable people and, IMHO, are 2 of the main reasons why Lindsay Lohan is the way she is … a drug-addled mess.

As for the trainwreck herself, she has already been processed, booked and mug shot at her new home — the Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood, CA. After the jump, check out her newest mug shot …

Just one day before Lindsay Lohan surrendered to the court to begin serving her 90 day jail sentence, we read a report of the courtroom restrictions put in place by Judge Marsha Revel concerning Lindsay‘s transportation to jail. The judge ordered that NO cameras would be allowed to be on when Lindsay was to be taken into custody so no photographs could be taken of her being handcuffed … BUT the restrictions did NOT apply to Mona Shafer, courtroom sketch artist. Ms. Shafer managed to capture the moment Lindsay was handcuffed and hauled off to jail in one of her wonderfully detailed sketches:

She surrendered to the court Tuesday to begin her jail sentence – and cameras caught almost every moment of the brief hearing. That is, until Lindsay Lohan was handcuffed and taken into custody. But PEOPLE.com has a sketch of the actress, 24, as she was cuffed with her hands behind her back and led quietly out a side door by four sheriff’s deputies. Lohan, who is expected to serve two weeks at the Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood, Calif., received her first visitor on Tuesday – lawyer Shawn Chapman Holley, who said the starlet was having a “difficult time adjusting.” Said Holley: “She’s trying to make the necessary adjustments to an extremely stressful and difficult situation. There were some tears.”

Mona Shafer was the courtroom sketch artist to captured moments of the Chris Brown assault case last year and has previously sketched Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie when they were pleading their cases before the court. So, even tho no photographs could be taken of the moment Lindsay was handcuffed, Mona Shafer managed to successfully capture the moment for posterity.

Paris Hilton was on hand yesterday for the second day of court to defend herself against a lawsuit that has been brought against a group of investors who claim that she did not fulfill her contractual agreement with them to adequately promote their film Pledge This! As you may recall, yesterday we saw a photo and courtroom sketch of Paris in court the day before listening to the plaintiff’s case against her. On Friday, it was her turn to take the stand in her own defense … and apparently make friends with U.S. District Judge Federico Moreno:

Paris Hilton repeatedly fussed with her hair and makeup in a federal courtroom Friday, sported six-inch stiletto heels and a black dress and amused the judge with a little wave on the way to the witness stand. Once on the stand, though, Hilton was businesslike when it came to defending herself against an $8 million lawsuit’s claim that she didn’t do her part to promote the 2006 box-office bomb “Pledge This!” She acknowledged in court the movie didn’t turn out very well but insisted she plugged it for everything she was worth. “If I have my name attached to something, I want it to be as big as it can be,” the 28-year-old heiress, model and actress testified. “It could have been a lot better if it was done more professionally. I wanted it to do as well as possible.” Hilton is accused by an investor’s lawsuit of turning her back on the film, which made just $2.9 million, at a crucial time when it was being released on DVD and in foreign markets. The lawsuit seeking $8.3 million in damages claims she violated her contract by rejecting or ignoring requests by producers to appear on talk shows and do radio and magazine interviews for the film. Hilton insisted she was never told her contract required appearances after the October 2006 premiere of “Pledge This!” and said she spent more than two years promoting it beforehand, including two high-profile trips to the Cannes Film Festival in France. She also testified during four hours on the stand that she relied on her managers and agents to vet most of her promotional appearance offers because she was constantly working on projects ranging from TV shows and films to a lines of perfume and handbags. She wasn’t aware of many suggestions made by the “Pledge This!” producers, she said. “My people handle my schedule. I’m a brand. I’m a businesswoman. I have 13 different product lines. I’m always working,” Hilton said. The trial is being heard by Chief U.S. District Judge Federico Moreno, who reacted with surprise when Hilton gave him a little wave before testifying. “I’ve never had a witness wave at me before,” the judge cracked. In another exchange, Moreno was puzzled by the title of Hilton’s current reality show, “My New BFF.” “What does that mean?” he said. After Hilton gave the title — “Paris Hilton’s My New Best Friend Forever” — the judge remarked “This will be my best case forever.” Without missing a beat, Hilton replied “You’re my best judge forever” … Testimony concluded Friday but Moreno did not immediately issue a ruling. If he finds Hilton breached her contract, a separate proceeding could be held to determine any damages. The lawsuit was filed by attorney Michael Goldberg, a court-appointed receiver for a now-defunct entertainment company that was the major investor in “Pledge This!” The company, Worldwide Entertainment Group, was shut down as a $300 million Ponzi scheme by the Securities and Exchange Commission, and Goldberg is attempting to recoup losses for some 3,300 investors. Goldberg said Friday he put up the final $600,000 from his receivership account to complete the movie in hopes that Hilton’s promotion prowess would enable it to turn a profit. He said her unwillingness to do events after the premiere was the reason it lost money. “I said, ‘Just do one little thing and you’ll never hear from me again,’” Goldberg told Moreno. “We had no support whatsoever.”

LMAO!! Leave it to Paris Hilton to turn a courtroom into a circus. She may be a horribly irritating virus plaguing our innocent planet but, apparently, she is an entertaining virus who seems to have charmed the robe (as it were) off her ruling judge. At first I thought she was flirting with the court as she made her way into the courthouse but it turns out that what looked like a wink was actually nothing more than a wonk. In any event, the case now lies in District Judge Federico Moreno‘s hands … will he rule in Paris‘s favor and let her off scott free or will he determine that the Pledge This! investors’ claim is valid and hold her accountable? I imagine we will find out early next week. Who do YOU think will win this case?

Paris Hilton, who has been spending some time in Dubai in the past few weeks filming a Middle Eastern version of her competitive reality TV series My New BFF, made her way to Miami, FL yesterday to defend her good name (well, what’s left of it) in open court. Paris has been sued by the financial investors who made her film Pledge This! who claim that she did not fulfill the parameters of her contract with them to promote the film. They want $8 million from her (the movie only cost $7.5 million to make). Here is a photo of Paris making her way into court yesterday and a court sketch of the heiress inside the courtroom. Later on today, Hilton will take the stand in her own defense:

It’s Paris Hilton’s turn to tell her side of the story in a lawsuit claiming she didn’t do enough to promote her 2006 sorority movie “Pledge This!” The 28-year-old heiress is scheduled to take the stand in her own defense Friday in a federal courtroom in Miami. The lawsuit brought by movie investors seeks more than $8 million. They claim Hilton reneged on a contract to promote the film, including its DVD release. They say she refused interviews and other promotional opportunities. Hilton contends she plugged the movie extensively and met the contract’s requirements. She says the producers made unreasonable demands for appearances when her schedule was full. The movie cost $7.5 million to make but earned only about $2.9 million.

On the one hand, I’d argue that a horrible film like Pledge This! was doomed for failure from the get go … but the investors do have a point. If Paris had used her annoying omnipresent celebrity to pimp out the film, it might’ve been more of a success. To be honest, I don’t even recall when the movie was made or released. If Paris had done her job, more people would’ve known about the movie and been able to make the conscious effort to not see the film for themselves … rather than not see the film cuz they never even heard of it. In any event, cases like these usually don’t take long for a ruling to be handed down. We should know very soon if Paris will be held liable for not upholding her end of her contractual agreement.

So … we all prolly know by now that Chris Brown managed to work out a plea bargain in court yesterday that resulted in his conviction on felony assault against his ex-girlfriend Rihanna (who was also in court yesterday, apparently ready to tell her side of the story to the court). His punishment? 5 years probation and 180 days of “hard labor” cleaning up the streets of his home State of Virginia. I understand that this is a typical sentence for first time offenders of assault … which kinda sickens me. The court system is basically saying that you can assault a person of your choosing and only face probation and street cleaning as punishment. But I digress. Here are photos of both Chris Brown and Rihanna in court yesterday and a full rundown of the day’s events:

With Rihanna set to break her silence in her assault case, Chris Brown reached a plea agreement that spared him jail time, it was announced Monday. Brown, 20, will be sentenced to five years probation and 180 days of community labor to be served in Virginia. He will also complete a year of domestic violence classes, and pay fines. In exchange, he pleaded guilty to felony assault by means likely to cause great bodily injury. “Mr. Brown, I think it’s commendable that you took responsibility for your conduct,” said Superior Court Judge Patricia Schnegg. Brown also was ordered to stay at least 50 yards away from Rihanna – except at industry events, when it’s 10 yards – despite a request from Rihanna’s lawyer for a less-restrictive order. For now, Brown was also ordered not to have any contact with her, which includes by phone, email or text. “He’s very thankful to all the people who’ve been very supportive,” said Brown’s attorney, Mark Geragos. “This is a kid who’s never been in trouble before, who wants to move past this and make sure that the message gets out that these kinds of things, of domestic violence, are not acceptable. And that he has accepted responsibility and continues to do so and embraces this as an opportunity for him to get his life back on track and his career back on track.” If he violates probation, Brown will face four years in prison. His formal sentencing is set for Aug. 5, when the court will drop a second charge of making criminal threats. Noting that Brown pleaded to a felony, Schnegg said, “I want Mr. Brown to be treated the same as any other defendant who would come into this court. That means something like Caltrans [trash pickup] or graffiti removal.” Brown had been charged with two felony counts – assault and making criminal threats – in the alleged fight that left Rihanna bruised and bloodied. The plea deal was reached shortly before Rihanna, 21, was to testify under subpoena in a preliminary hearing. Brown, wearing gray suit, off-white tie, and matching handkerchief in his front pocket, entered the courtroom shortly after 1:30 p.m. About 10 of his friends and family, including his mother, were seated in the audience.

After the judge addressed him, Brown left the courtroom and Rihanna, wearing a black dress and pearls, was brought in for the judge to explain the plea deal terms to the singer. The two were never in the courtroom at the same time. She stood before Judge Schnegg who told her that the court will consider reducing the stay-away order to the least-restrictive one after he’s sentenced. Rihanna’s only words in open court were: “Thank you, your honor,” before she was led out a special exit. According to a search warrant, Rihanna was assaulted during an argument that began when she read text messages from another woman on Brown’s phone as they driving in a Lamborghini in L.A. the morning before the pair were both scheduled to perform on the Grammy Awards. An enraged Brown allegedly tried to force her out of the car, hit her head against the passenger window, punched in her left eye and drove away while steering with one hand and continuing to punch her with the other, says the detective’s notes in the search warrant. As blood filled Rihanna’s mouth, Brown allegedly told her, “I’m going to beat the shit out of you when we get home. You wait and see!” Rihanna then pretended to call her assistant and left a fake message saying, “I am on my way home. Make sure the cops are there when I get there.” The police notes say that prompted Brown to reply: “You just did the stupidest thing ever. Now I’m really going to kill you.”

I guess I’m kinda disgusted that the ruling judge commended Chris Brown for “taking responsibility” for his actions. If he had truly taken responsibility, he would’ve turned himself into cops months ago, admitted his crimes and served a real punishment for assault. What really happened was that his hot shot lawyer managed to work out a deal where Brown only got a slap on the wrists for his felonious actions. I suppose at this point we are to hope that Brown has learned his lesson and will stay out of trubs for the rest of his life. Should he violate his probation in any way in the next 5 years, I believe he will be slapped with a more substantial punishment. In the end, I suppose we should be glad that all of this drama is over. My hope is that Rihanna can move forward from all of this in a healthy manner. Let’s not forget, she is the victim in all of this … whether she chooses to believe it or not.
