Lindsay Lohan is an actress, model and singer who has appeared in several films and television shows including Freaky Friday, Mean Girls and Ugly Betty.

She often appears on gossip blogs and in tabloids.
Despite being sentenced to serve 90 days in jail for violating her probation stemming from a 2007 DUI arrest, Lohan was released after serving 14 days. She was ordered to spend another 90 days in rehab, but was released 23 days later after the judge said that she appeared "very serious about her sobriety". Her lawyer said that Lohan had "learned her lesson" and wanted to "move on in a positive way".http://www.nydailynews.com/gossip/2010/09/17/2010-09-17_lindsay_lohan_fails_courtmandated_drug_test_could_be_sentenced_to_30_more_days_i.html
