Public Display of Rehabilitation

After being accused of not taking her court sentence seriously, Lindsay Lohan has opted to check into rehab. The hard-partying, law-breaking actress is now a resident of the Pickford Lofts, a sober-living house in Los Angeles. Lohan is obviously trying to show the judge that she is in charge of her life, but the move seems a bit calculated.

Lohan's new abode is the brainchild of her new lawyer, Robert Shapiro. The former O.J. Simpson defense lawyer created the sober-living house after his son died from an overdose in 2005. Rumors have been swirling that Shapiro threatened to only represent Lohan if she checked into the centre, but I think it's part of the defense strategy.

With her jail sentence set to begin in only a few days, why on earth would Lohan spend time away from her family and friends? Well, if it helped ease up her court sentence of 90-days in jail and 90-days in rehab, she just might have gone for it. Only time will tell what will become of the lost child, but hopefully Shaprio and his centre can help Lohan find her way.
