Chelsea Handler Takes on Lindsay Lohan



Chelsea talks about Lindsay's jail and legal life.

Bill O'Reilley: I supports Lindsay Lohan!



Fox News commentator Bill O’Reilly took a tough stance on several issues including whether or not actress Lindsay Lohan should be in jail on NBC’s “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” (Monday-Friday, 11:35 p.m. ET) on Tuesday, July 26.

When the audience began to laugh at Lohan’s now infamous mug shot as it was shown to them, O’Reilly was tactful: “You guys shouldn’t be laughing at this. This is a woman who is on the Marilyn Monroe track. Monroe died at 36. She’s from Long Island where I’m from. Very talented actress, if you’ve seen her she is talented, but she is very confused right now and she can’t stay away from the substance abuse. So, if I were the judge I would have done exactly the same thing. Send her in, send a message.”

O’Reilly continued: “But this woman needs to be saved and I think we should stop with the tabloid stuff, stop enjoying this kind of stuff. I think she’s 24 years old, I think she’s been exploited by her parents -- nothing worse, nothing worse on this earth than being exploited by your parents. And I just hope and I pray -- I do, I’ve said some prayers for her – that she can get out of there, find somebody, somebody to basically say, ‘Listen Lindsay, knock it off.’”

Lindsay Lohan attorney says actress will go to jail, no early check-in expected



Lindsay Lohan's new attorney, celebrity lawyer Robert Shapiro, said on Friday the troubled actress will got to jail as recently ordered by the judge overseeing her probation.

Last week, California Superior Court Judge Marsha Revel ordered Lohan to begin serving a 90-day jail sentence on July 20 for violating the terms of her probation on drunk driving charges because Lohan had missed alcohol education classes.

Since then, Lohan's previous attorney, Shawn Chapman Holley, resigned and media reports surfaced on Thursday this week that Lohan hired Shapiro but may be trying to avoid jail.

"I have agreed to represent Ms. Lohan on the condition she comply with the terms of probation, including a requirement of jail imposed by Judge Marsha Revel," Shapiro said in a statement on Friday.

"Ms. Lohan is suffering from a disease that I am all too familiar with. Hopefully, I can be of assistance to Ms. Lohan and Judge Revel in implementing a treatment approach recommended by medical professionals for Ms. Lohan's long term recovery and sobriety," the statement said.

Shapiro is a well-known Los Angeles attorney who has represented many Hollywood stars over the years, and he was part of the "dream team" of attorneys who represented football player O.J. Simpson in his trial for the murder of his wife.

Shapiro's son Brent died in 2005 due to a combination of drinking alcohol and taking the drug ecstasy. Since then, Shapiro has been dedicated himself to helping others overcome their own addiction problems.

His family started the Brent Shapiro Foundation as well as the Pickford Lofts sober living facility in Los Angeles that Lohan was said to have checked into earlier this week.
