Celebrity Justice
Lawyer's Frantic Move to Save Lindsay

Lindsay Lohan and Blair BerkTMZ has learned that in the hours before Lindsay Lohan was busted for DUI, her lawyer knew she was in trouble and was desperately trying to find her.

Sources say last Sunday, just before midnight, mega-lawyer Blair Berk got an ominous signal. The signal came from the SCRAM device that Lindsay agreed to wear on her ankle. The device tests for alcohol use and sounds an alarm to a designated person when alcohol is detected. We've learned that Berk was the designee.

As soon as Berk learned there was a problem, she frantically tried to locate Lindsay. But time ran out before Berk could stop the runaway train wreck. Less than two hours after the SCRAM device signaled, Lindsay was in custody.

91. I'M BOYCOTTING ALL THESE RICH BRATS THAT REFUSE TO HIRE A CAR AND KEEP DRIVING DRUNK, AS WELL AS ANY PRODUCTS THAT ENDORSE THEM FOR PUBLICITY. THEY ARE A VERY PATHETIC BUNCH OF RICH BRATS. THAT SHOULD REALLY DO SOME HARD TIME!!!

94. Hers wasn't court-ordered deano, sounds like yours was. She probably had the signal sent to the lawyer because when she did have her day in court her lawyer could serve as a credible witness to say that she hadn't been drunk since rehab. Which obviously won't happen now.

95. I don't really care one way or another about Lindsay, in particular, but it is sort of freaky that just a few hours after the alcohol detection device went off, that she was in police custody. I am not really proud of it, but I have driven after drinking a few thousand times in my life and have never been pulled over. She really seems to be suffering from some horrible luck.

96. Another spoiled brats of Hollywood! hope she gets maximum punishment for everything she deserve. I think she got off pretty lucky. I wish she hit me during her DUI, I would have sue her for everything she got!

97. Obviousley she hasn't learned her lesson and she really needs to. Perhapse her parents need to stop making excuses and start helping. She needs to fess up and stop saying that she is inocent trying to make it appear as though she is the victim. I am tired of that from all these people who get in trouble.

98. I just love all the sad, late attempts at damage control.

I'm surprised that they've even tried, as it's fairly obvious that no one has sympathy in the least for this overaged child.

People have just had enough with the spoiled little rich celebrities. Hell, Paris Hilton had her own bleeping cellphone in jail with her. No collect calls for HER! It's gotten old and we'd like to be entertained by responsible people for a change.

Responsible people who will be seen investigating, prosecuting and ultimately imprisoning the spoiled little rich celebrities who have long needed to learn that there are seriously consquences for bad actions.

99. okay..."pammie"
you are a dumbass! yeah, fine....some people may become sick from lung cancer due to smoking.....but what about the many other forms of cancer which are genetic or caused by other sources? that is not by choice. drug addicts are dumbasses who bring it on themselves.....you twit!

100. Okay, OMG, it's all become clear. The tracking device, the late night confrontation, the panicked car chase. This Paris-Nicole-Lindsay-Brit thing is a giant conspiracy run by Karl Rove to distract the American people from Bush's catastrophes and crimes!! The deconstruction of American liberties is underway while all of the country is witlessly transfixed by these convincingly real life dramas. All of these transgressions and arrests and court dates and photo ops are meticulously prearranged as well as being cyclical. Paris will be side-lined for a while by LiLo and then another will be scheduled to out-do her, etc. I fear Brit's handlers are just going to let her go down--too unstable. But Lindsay, I'm certain, was trying to break free from this evil entrapment. She's been protesting her innocence. She's talking to us all! America, listent to Lindsay!

102. I am sure the lawyer will defend her even id she killed her X assistant, I hope the jury won't be fooled, I hope the X assistant amd her mother testifies against Lindsay, I hope the verdict of the trial is live.

103. Crash and Burn Lohan...there has been, and always will be, people who feel the need to use drugs/alcohol instead of facing life, and themselves. Anti-depressants are the most prescribed drugs in this country, and who can even count the number of alcoholics/addicts, really? It's sad, but true, you can't save them all. That could happen in the future (a NEW DRUG maybe!), but meanwhile, lives will be lost, and Lohans life is no more precious than anyone elses.

104. I call BS on this story too. You guys have to get the story straight and filter thru all these lies.

Lawyer WHO LILO PAYS says she was the one who had the monitor. and it only took TWO HOURS for LILO to get that wasted and jailed?

riiiiiiiight.

get the real story you "journalists"!

105. She claims that the coke wasn't hers. WTF?!!! Coke was found in her car less than 2 months ago when she had her hit & run!!! Now, it's found in her pocket after the cops pick her up. I AIN'T BUYING THAT LOAD OF BS!!! Does she think that we are as high or drunk as she is? She didn't feel someone putting blow in her pocket? Yeah, riiiiight....

***BOYCOTT "I Know Who Killed Me"!!! BOYCOTT "I Know Who Killed Me"!!!***

Her lawyer is just trying to do damage control. AIN'T WORKIN'!!! I'd just once like to hear dumb ole Lindsay say, "I'm sorry" or acknowledge that maybe just maybe she has a problem. She lied about Paris slapping her & that is on video---remember she recanted the next night. Also if she wasn't drunk or high when she wrecked her car over the Memorial Day weekend, WHY DID SHE RUN?!!! WHY?!!! To get medical help? Wouldn't an abulance be a better way to get to the hospital?

***BOYCOTT "I Know Who Killed Me"!!! BOYCOTT "I Know Who Killed Me"!!!***

She needs to stop the lies & definitely STOP GETTING BEHIND THE WHEEL. Driving is a priviledge NOT A RIGHT!!! She is going to seriously hurt or kill someone and if it goes the way it usually does in cases like this it WILL NOT be her. It will be an innocent person/people who just happen to be on the road at the same time as her. Locally here over the Memorial Day weekend a whole family was killed because some dumba$$ got behind the wheel after drinking & drugging.

***BOYCOTT "I Know Who Killed Me"!!! BOYCOTT "I Know Who Killed Me"!!!***

She needs to go to jail! She needs to wise the hell up! She needs to face the music BEFORE she hurts/kills someone. My grandmother had to suffer with the results of someone driving drunk for over 35 years. She was hit on Christmas Eve by a drunk driver & was left with severly mangled legs & left arm...she had to live with the memory of that man's "mistake" everyday. He only spent 6 months in jail, her sentence was 3-1/2 decades! Now, is that fair? Lindsay, Nicole, Paris, Britney & all their enablers ought to think about that & then decide if all the drugs & alcohol is worth it. Isn't it time for them to see the results of driving while under the influence of drugs &/or alcohol! It's more than heartbreaking, it's downright criminal!!

***BOYCOTT "I Know Who Killed Me"!!! BOYCOTT "I Know Who Killed Me"!!!***

Hit her where it counts! THE WALLET! If she can't make $$ in movies any more, maybe then she'll give off the booze & drugs.

***BOYCOTT "I Know Who Killed Me"!!! BOYCOTT "I Know Who Killed Me"!!!***
