Lindsay Lohan Sentenced to Jail

In a move that should not surprise anyone not named Lindsay Lohan, the young train wreck of an actress was sentenced to ninety days in jail and a rehab program post-sentence for violating the terms of her probation. Lohan’s probation stems from a 2007 drug arrest.

Lohan burst into tears upon hearing the judge’s ruling. I would not normally be cruel enough to think that is funny, but Lohan told the press yesterday that even though the judge hated her, she would surely not be sentenced to jail. Call the sentence a much needed dose of reality for the cocky star.

A reality check is exactly what she needs. Few can argue sitting I jail for three months with a mandatory rehab assignment afterwards is not the best thing that could ever happen to her considering the path Lohan is currently traveling.

Lohan was hauled ito court today after missing seven mandatory weekly substance abuse counseling sessions since December. Her absences add up to nearly two moths of blow off meetings. Judge Marsha Revel scolded loan for an insincere apology, saying she was acing like someone who believes it is fine to cheat as long as you do not et caught. One suspects Loha’s comments to the press, of which Revel is bound to be aware, helped raw the conclusion about her attitude.
