Amidst a flurry of paparazzi camera flashes, La Lohan made her way through L.A. yesterday proudly sporting a mysterious red chip with the words "90 Days" on it -- begging the question, what exactly does it mean?
Chips like Lohan's are usually awarded to someone who has kicked a habit, or worn by supportive friends of someone working through an addiction. In this case it seems as though Lindsay is playing a supporting role, as her rep tells TMZ the pin was not for her, but rather a "tribute to a friend."

Willie Nelson was issued a misdemeanor citation for drug possession early today when his tour bus was stopped in Saint Martin Parish, Louisiana.
TMZ spoke with a spokesperson for the Louisiana State Police who said "The tour bus was stopped on a common interstate vehicle inspection, and when the trooper approached the bus door a strong odor of marijuana was detected. The occupants were not brought to jail because it was not accepting [inmates] on misdemeanor charges."
During a search of the bus, police said approximately one-and-one-half pounds of marijuana and approximately two-tenths of a pound of mushrooms were located on the bus.
The 73 year-old country legend, the driver of the bus and three members of his band were issued citations for possession of mushrooms and possession of marijuana and released.

Steve Whitmore, a spokesman for the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, just concluded (9:15AM PT) a press conference with reporters, answering questions about the Mel Gibson DUI controversy.
Whitmore, speaking outside the Sheriff's headquarters in Monterey Park, reiterated that there was no "sanitizing" of the police report and that no force was used in Gibson's arrest.
He went on to say that Gibson did not run away from law enforcement officers -- but as TMZ first revealed, the report and other evidence points to the contrary. According to the report TMZ obtained, "Gibson quickly turned and bolted towards his own vehicle." The report goes on to say that "Gibson attempted to escape arrest."
When asked about the case as it relates to the media, Whitmore said, "Is this a cover-up to the press or is it a cover-up to the public? Because we believe it is not a cover-up at all. Having said that, I understand the concern. Is there influence peddling here? Absolutely not."
