31. Will this be jail time for a celebrity? If it were a regular person, they'd still be in jail, and there'd be no questions of how much trouble they had brought to themselves.
No one wishes this type of difficulty in life for another person. It is self destructive behavior and at times it can't be stopped or the situation reversed until hitting the bottom.
The interesting question with unavaoidable fascination --Is this it or does it get worse for Ms. Lohan?

32. The whole stint in "Promises" was a big joke and done purely for PR and legal purposes. I don't believe the ankle bracelet was ever even connected to anything. Here's another joke she's receiving "medical attention." It used to be called "I have a hang over and I can't sleep cause I was out doing blow!"

34. Aren't lawyers nothing more than spin doctors? Lawyers are nothing more than professional liars that get paid for it.

35. Lindsey is feeling left out and can't stand the great publicity Brit is getting for her behavior so Lindsey decided to get in on some of the action.

38. This is what happens when you cant admit that you have an alcohol problem.

It's always someone else's fault, right Lindsay ??

I feel so sorry for you . Where is your Mom ??

39. You gotta be kidding me, wasnt this the chick just got out of one? Everyone stop buying her music,
so she wont have any more money for drugs - let fame and fortune go to someone who is worthy, and deserves it. Get someone fresh, unknown instead.

40. Addiction is horrible, but it isn't a "disease". It's a sin. To say it's a disease is a cop out and, in the end, hurts people more.

41. My thoughts and prayers are with Lindsay and her family at this time. I have witnessed first hand what drugs and alcohol can do to a person and to an entire family. A family member, who is also one of my best friends, over came a drug and alcohol addiction that had gripped him for over half a decade. It is possible to beat addiction but it takes a very strong, motivated person with an extremely supportive support system.

I hope that Lindsay will one day be able to overcome her demons and become a productive adult.

43. Send her to jail. The bars and restaurants that have served her and the rest of the crowdsince being a teenager shoud be shut down by the liquer authorites.

44. if these girls want to kill themselves, why are people standing in their way?
isn't it better that they hurt themselves than others?
