She was handcuffed, but seemed calm. We all started saying ‘God bless you Lindsay,’ and saying ‘Hi’ to her and then she smiled at us.” For dinner that night Lindsay was served an un-Spago-like combo of turkey tetrazzini, apple sauce, broccoli and coleslaw. When Lindsay got to the facility they had a lock down for 60 minutes in which she was given a strip search and a body cavity search.

Lindsay Lohan
Lindsay Lohan went to court today in Beverly Hills where Judge Revel sentenced the actress to 90 days in jail and 90 days in an inpatient rehabilitation center. After Lohan heard the sentence she began crying and was then given the chance to plead with the judge for understanding. Judge Revel went on to tell of her history of lies. Lohan had been treading on thin ice since October and had been warned. She later went on to do a no show to a mandatory progress review hearing in May, claiming her passport was stolen while at the Cannes Film Festival. She was fitted with a SCRAM alcohol-monitoring bracelet as a result and has been subject to random drug testing, two weeks after getting the SCRAM bracelet it was set off leading to her third arrest warrant. Although she was sentenced to 90 days in jail it is likely that she will only have to serve about a fraction of that time because of the severe overcrowding in the jails where non violent offenders are usually released early. After Lindsay serves her time in jail and in rehab she will still be on probation and be forbidden from drinking alcohol until August of 2011.

He is also claiming that Britney fed the children food that they were allergic to which in turn made them very ill. The timing of his claims is very suspicious as he was just let go from the job a month ago. Sources close to Britney say that there are always bodyguards and nannies around and that Britney is never alone with the children. They believe Britney is just the target of a man upset by his job loss. Children Services investigated the claim as they are required to and believe it has no merit.

What Will Happen To Jackson’s Doc Conrad Murray?

Posted in Pop Stars on August 25th, 2009 by Almostfamous – Be the first to comment

Conrad Murray

Michael Jackson died June 25, 2009 in his rented mansion in Holmby Hills CA and his death has been ruled as a homicide. His death was caused by a lethal dose of the powerful drug propofol. The coroner made this assesment after the toxicology results of the autopsy of Michael. Propofol is an anesthetic agent typically used in the operating room to put patients to sleep in about 1 minute. Jackson’s doctor at the time of his death was Conrad Murray. Murray said he had been treating Michael for insomnia for the past six weeks and was giving him 50 milligrams of propofol every night using an intravenous drip. Since Michael’s death has been ruled as homicide I wonder if Murray will have to serve some time? Do you think this is fair considering Jackson was the addict requesting these drugs?
