Breaking (Down Completely): Lindsay Lohan!
Oh goodness. And you thought Paris Hilton was troubled. From the AP:
Lindsay Lohan, who just finished a second stint in rehab for substance abuse treatment, was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving early Tuesday, authorities said.Lohan, who is already facing a drunken driving charge in Beverly Hills, was pulled over near the Santa Monica Police Department after authorities spotted her car chasing another vehicle.....
Authorities conducted a field sobriety test and then transported Lohan to the police department. The 21-year-old actress was booked on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol, driving on a suspended license and possession of cocaine, among other charges, [Sgt. Shane] Talbot said.
Police found cocaine in one of her pants pockets during a pre-booking search, Talbot said.
Summer associates can get pretty wild, especially after they've had a few drinks. But Lolita ain't got nothing on LiLo.
Law-and-economics types will appreciate this analysis, from Perez Hilton:
This could ruin Lindsay’s career! NO ONE is going to want to work with her now. And IF they do hire her, Lohan will most likely be forced to pay for her own insurance on films, which will be VERY COSTLY.
See, the market IS efficient! Even the market in alcoholic, coke-addicted young strumpets.

A driver is what, $40k per year? To be at your complete beck and call? With bonuses for claiming contraband as his own?
Cost/benefit, Linz.
First and Second are actually Second and Third, thanks to the blank comment posted at 10:23.
Who is Lindsay Lohan's lawyer?
Oh noes! How will this affect the legacy of her unprecedented contributions to our early twenty-furst century cultural ethos?
10:31, I'm with you. I thought the same thing about Paris. It makes no sense to me.
But maybe these young women enjoy the freedom of the road (or being behind the wheel in a state of intoxication).
why is this on abovethelaw.com?
Dude, there's nothing law & econ about your observation. are you channelling Althouse?
Great use of Strumpet
Lat, what the hell is up with you lately? Why are you reporting this? Are you getting this desperate for stories?
Not sure who she has now, but she had Blair Berk.
Blair Berk is a member of Tarlow & Berk, PC in Los Angeles, California. She earned her JD from Harvard Law School in 1990 and was admitted to the California Bar in 1992. She is a member of the Beverly Hills Bar Association, the American Bar Association, the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers and sits on the Board of Governors for California Attorneys for Criminal Justice.
Lat-
Why are you holding out on the Wash Post post? Waiting till you need to redeem yourself or something?
could the coke just have been residue from here pre-rehab days? I mean, now that she's "clean" maybe she didn't have time to get to the dry cleaners.....
NY to 190!!!!
ATL has always covered the legal troubles of celebrities (which is not surprising coming from a "legal tabloid").
If celebrities aren't "above the law," then who is?
Inserting the coke up her bum would have better effect and you wouldn't have to be faced with the indignity of being searched for drugs. Not that I know anything about that.
Oh, and get her own personal driver.
Hahaha. Lohan = EPIC FAIL. Whatever will we do with a jailed Lindsey Lohan? All civilization will shut down if she goes in the slammer, just as it did when Paris Hilton was incarcerated.
Fucking useless celebrities.
She's a skank.

Lohan = Drew Barrymore? Will her career be resurrected when she actually gets sober (and takes a few acting lessons)?
In her defense, Lohan is a very capable actress. E.g, Freaky Friday (a technically demanding role b/c of the premise of the film); Mean Girls.
She's just totally screwed up on a personal level.
I do not get why rich young people on probation--if they are going to insist on getting f***** up don't hire a DRIVER????
Or, party in Ibiza, or Athens (where the bars never close).
