Lindsay Lohan Arrest Warrant -- Paparazzi Defense

Posted Mar 16th 2009 8:20AM by TMZ Staff

Lindsay LohanWe know exactly why Lindsay Lohan is being hauled into court Monday and it's no big deal -- probably.

Here's why an arrest warrant was issued. Lindsay was in an alcohol ed program for more than a year and was in full compliance with her probation. Sources say not too long ago she decided to switch programs. She either was late or missed one of the classes at the new program -- she says because the paparazzi made it impossible for her to show up on schedule. So the program director sounded the alarm last week to the court. And that's why the judge issued a warrant.

Based on what we know this is not a big deal and Lindsay's new lawyer, Shawn Chapman Holley, should be able to have the warrant 86'd -- no problemo. The only wild card: There's a new judge on the case and she's really tough.

We're told Lindsay will not show for the appearance unless the judge decides she wants her there.

Stay tuned.

33. Yeah, right, the paparazzi make it impossible to show up for class on time???? That's a new one. I'm sure she makes it to her club on time to party and the paparazzi don't get in her way then......

34. So what?
Jail might be the best thing for this "mixed up" & troubled girl.

35. If that were the case, how come the paparazzi doesn't keep her from going out partying. The paparazzi isn't too much for her then. What a waste she is. She isn't cute anymore, and yes she has ruined her career.

36. This whole Paparazzi defense doesnt hold water. if I was the judge and her lawyer used this as her defense for the No-Shows at the rehab I would tell him that his client is a celebrity and along with that fame comes the added attention specifically the Paps. If they arent stopping her from doing other things, such as going to clubs then she sure as hell could have made those appointments. As far as this warrent ruining her career... no mam, your activities that led to your arrests did this to your career.

37. If she doesn't clean up her act. Noone will want her in Hollywood until she does! What does Lindsay see in Sam anyway? Does Sam have a great tongue? They seem to be constantly arguing! So is Lindsay running down the same road as Rhianna?
I honestly hope the judge throws the book at her! They need to stop pampering all these Celebrities! They are enabled and spoiled too much. She needs to be held ACCOUNTABLE!
She has talent. Too bad shes not behaving responsibly.

38. I do not understand how a "program director" of an alcohol education and treatment program can create a warrant for anyone's arrest.

If this judge is as fair as she is rumored to be tough then the process that was used to get the warrant should be looked at. Given the penchant for publicity that the District Attorney's office has and their flair for making cases larger than life (Britney) the prosecuitor might find themselves sanctioned or jailed for a few hours for contempt.

39. Is Lohan in jail really doing "research" for a remake of "CHAINED HEAT"??? Im sure she loves being locked up with women. Will she be doing the broom handle scene that Linda Blair so artfully pulled off back in 1974 ?

40. FUNNY that you're reporting that Lindsay won't be appearing in court, when CNN had a story last night speaking to her lawyer that said Lezho WILL be appearing in court this morning. Either way, run down and set up a camera!

43. I woke up to my alarm clock radio this morning where it was stated that Lindsay had done it again, was arrested for yet another DUI incident. And that's why I tuned into TMZ. HOWEVER, ok, while TMZ gives another version as to the warrant for her arrest, I still feel that this girl has gone downhill in a very big way, and it's only a matter of time before she will eventually wind up seriously hurting someone (or herself) one day on the road. And then what, a slap on the wrist, perhaps 45 minutes in a jail cell?? These supposedly hollier-than-thous get away with murder. Actually one of them did!!And you guys know who I am talking about. I used to love Lindsay, but I can't stand her now!! She's lost her "role model" status to the younger generation a long time ago.

44. Please, TMZ, no more on Lindsey Lohan. She is a snooze fest..

45. FOR THE COURTS AND LAWYERS: If this excuse is true, there would be proof that the PAPS hindered her effort! TMZ, prove this bitch wrong! She is such a dope addict liar!
