Many, many people were disappointed this morning when Lindsay Lohan showed up to court and was expected to be sentenced to some serious jail time but instead got sentenced to rehab at The Betty Ford Clinic until Jan.3 instead. The surprising thing is that the probation office wanted her to serve 30 days for violating probation by drug testing positive for cocaine but the district attorney's office wanted her to serve 180 days behind bars! That is a little steep but I would have laughed out loud uncontrollably for about a day if that had been the case. I think this is a huge failure for judge Elden Fox and now the status quo cliche about celebrities never having to pay for their crimes is apparent now more than ever in L.A. today.
