Lawsuit: Rich, A-List Celeb Allegedly Spreads Herpes
A new lawsuit obtained by TMZ alleges "An A-list celebrity of substantial fame internationally" knowingly exposed a sex partner to the herpes virus. But here's the rub -- the suit doesn't name the celeb.
According to the suit, the plaintiff -- who also is not named -- met the celebrity in Las Vegas April 1. The suit claims the celeb -- a male who is worth in excess of $100 million -- "entered into a nefarious plot designed to lure Plaintiff into his luxurious hotel room to serve his prurient desires."
The suit claims the celeb told the plaintiff he had "no venereal diseases." At that point, they watched porn and engaged in "mutual oral copulation, mutual self-gratification, rubbing and massaging each other, play-wrestling, licking and (unprotected) intercourse." And, it was all videotaped!
According to the lawsuit, filed by attorney Keith Davidson, it didn't end well, because the plaintiff contracted herpes. The suit claims the celeb knew all along he had herpes and lied to the plaintiff in order to satisfy his desires.
The plaintiff -- not identified as either a man or a woman -- is suing for more than $20 million.

Lohan Probation Report -- Lindsay's a Drug Addict
The L.A. County Probation Department believes Lindsay Lohan is a drug addict.
According to the probation report, Lindsay's probation officer wrote, "Substance abuse is the root of the defendant's problems."
Judge Stephanie Sautner begged to differ this AM, saying she did not believe Lindsay's problem was drug related.
The Probation Report lists the drugs Lindsay has been taking: Trazadone (for depression), Nexium (for heartburn), Yaz (birth control), Zoloft (anti-depressant), Doxycycline (antibiotic), Zyrtec (allergies) and Zythromax (antibiotic).
The Probation Report mentions Lindsay failed an alcohol test on February 8, 2011 -- this is about a month AFTER Lindsay left the Betty Ford Clinic.
As for that alleged attack at Betty Ford, the report also states that cops have interviews with restaurant employees, hotel employees, and nightclub employees saying that Lindsay was drinking that night.
And the Probation Report says Lindsay is a serial shoplifter: "Defendant has been suspected of similar conduct in other jewelry stores ... As a result [the detective in the necklace case] recommends that the defendant ... be ordered to serve at least six months in county jail."

Lindsay Lohan Gets Merciful Sentence for Theft
Lindsay Lohan dodged a huge bullet today -- she won't be locked up in jail ... this after pleading no contest to misdemeanor theft.
Lindsay's attorney Shawn Holley entered the plea a few minutes ago -- Lindsay wasn't in court.
Judge Stephanie Sautner said during the hearing, she doesn't believe Lindsay's problem is substance abuse, but rather her problems are more deeply rooted and she is self-medicating to relieve those problems. As a result, Judge Sautner is not requiring Lindsay to undergo substance abuse counseling.
Lindsay will not get additional time for the theft. She will be required to serve 120 days for her probation violation, and we've learned the Sheriff's Department may allow Lindsay to do the time at home, with an electronic monitoring device.
In reality, the 120 days will amount to 14 days. But during that time, Lindsay cannot leave her home, even to do community service.
Lindsay must complete psychological counseling and a shoplifters alternative class -- seriously.
Once Lindsay completes her 480 hours of community service, her probation in the DUI case will terminate, but Lindsay is now on 3 years probation for the theft -- so if she screws up again, she's screwed.

Lindsay Necklace Case -- No Contest Plea Tomorrow
Lindsay Lohan will officially plead no contest to misdemeanor theft tomorrow -- TMZ has learned -- but Lindsay won't be showing up in court.
Sources connected with Lindsay tell TMZ ... Lindsay wants to show up for the plea, but the cost and craziness associated with a Lindsay Lohan appearance is just too much -- what with extra Sheriff's deputies, court disruption, etc.
So Lindsay's lawyer, Shawn Holley, will appear before Judge Stephanie Sautner to enter the plea.
TMZ broke the story ... Lindsay will plead no contest, and in such cases it's routine a defendant can serve the sentence with an electronic monitoring device at home, rather than doing jail time.
As we first reported ... both Sheriff's Department and the Probation Department sources tell us ... Lindsay would be eligible to serve her 120-day jail sentence with electronic monitoring at home.
Judge Sautner has made it clear ... she's treating Lindsay like any other defendant, so it's likely the judge will allow her the electronic monitoring option.
And, a defendant who serves time at home with an monitoring bracelet gets the same time off for good behavior and jail overcrowding as someone who serves time in the pokey. And we're told 120 days translates into 14 DAYS. So 14 days with a bracelet and she'll be off the hook with the necklace!
TMZ will be in court tomorrow.
Stay tuned.
