It's that time of the week again, when we play our favorite game: what sort of trouble is Lindsay Lohan in this time?
The occasional actress, most recently famous for her constant fights with girlfriend Sam Ronson, made headlines again this week when Hollyscoop learned that there was a warrant out for Lohan's arrest.
The warrant, stemming back to her 2007 DUI, is due to failure to meet with her probation officer or failure to complete a mandatory drug test. A Los Angeles-based attorney told Hollyscoop on Friday that if Lohan failed to comply with either of the above, a judge could issue a warrant for her arrest. The fine for the warrant was set at $50,000.
On Saturday morning, Lohan, apparently the last to hear the news of her impending arrest, sent a statement to Perez Hilton, writing: "This warrant for my arrest is completely fabricated, and it's a horrendous lie. This will make me lose every single deal that I have right now." However, despite Lindsay's protests, TMZ learned that the warrant was served due to Lindsay's failure to comply with probation procedures, which included enrolling in an alcohol education program. However, Lohan's camp is fighting the charges:
"Since her case was resolved, Ms. Lohan has been in compliance with all the terms and conditions of her probation and all orders of the court," Lindsay's lawyer Shawn Chapman Holley said in a statement Saturday. "The warrant issued on Friday was, in our view, born out of a misunderstanding which I am confident I can clear up next week."
A hearing on the matter is set for Monday morning in a Beverly Hills courtroom. "The judge apparently has indicated that Ms. Lohan should be in attendance," L.A. DA spokeswoman Sandi Gibbons said Saturday.
And what was Miss Lohan doing while the LAPD staked out the house she shares with Ronson? According to TMZ, she spent the evening in a screaming fight with her girlfriend.
"Sam and Lindsay have gotten into a nuclear fight at Sam's house. The police are at their front door to talk to Lindsay and Sam, but they will not open the door. The two are definitely still in the house," a source told TMZ on Friday night.
A word to the wise, Lindsay: If you're already in trouble with the po-po, don't make it worse by adding a "disturbing the peace" offense to their list of charges against you.
