Making The Mo$t Out Of Rehab
Filed under: Lindsay Lohan > Drugs
Lindsay Lohan is inviting you into her world!
The rehabbing actress has staged a series of paparazzi photos for the latest issue of OK!.
LL invited the magazine to snap away at the Cirque Lodge treatment center in Sundance, Utah.
A few weeks ago, PerezHilton.com was the first to report that Lohan had brokered a deal with OK!
The new spread in OK! features Lindsay reading the Alcoholics Anonymous "Big Book" and doing other nice, normal things.
"She really is taking [rehab] seriously," OK! Editor-in-Chief Sarah Ivens said. "She's replacing L.A. and smoking with yoga and reading. She hasn't looked this good in years."
Lohan spends her days writing in a journal, taking up "spiritual classes" and working shifts at Smith's, a nearby supermarket, where her earnings go to a local charity, the magazine said.
Lindsay also immerses herself in the Cirque Lodge's "equine therapy," where patients care for horses to help them with issues of trust.
"She's been really worried about the influence she's having on her little sister Ali," Ivens said. "That's why this time she's determined to sort herself out, because she doesn't want her Ali to grow up and suffer the same things she's suffered."
And, it seems like Lindsay may get a lucky break very soon.
Her lawyer is said to be working on a plea deal with prosecutors in LA, so she will likely avoid any jail time.
Celebrity justice!
ha
ill believe it when she keeps this up for more than 1 hour
First
1st
first
I give it 2 weeks, tops.
I think that she is doing good! It is nice to see her reading something! What is wrong with that? I know that some haters willhave something mean to say…But how many of them actually take time out to read a book? Instead of sitting on their asses?
WHO CARES???????????????
I love her, she's soooo hot…
i hope she falls off thwe wagon!
Time to play up the rehab sympathe so we will all forget she tried to blame a black man for her crap. Shes a loser!
where there's horses theres ketamine………
So ridiculous. ACTRESS ahoy! This is your best role yet.
she should move to tanzinia and leave us all alone!

I AM 21

Oh Plueeeze! She deserves to go ..as does Brit. If she had been anyone else those kids would have been gone the 1st day Child services came.
They'll be coking it up in no time!
Wow. I'm sure the other 'serious' rehabbers really appreciate having cameras invade their location. What about CONFIDENTIALITY.
This is a bad sign. Rehab is supposed to be a very personal, private thing…it's so difficult. It shouldn't be about yet another opportunity to have your picture & name splashed across a magazine.
Anything to stay in the spotlight, I guess….
Well isn't Ali Lohan pregnant? Perez, please report!!!!
How are these stars ever going to heal themselves in rehab when they can't get enough publicity?
"she hasn't looked this good in years"…meaning when she was what? 13?
"She really is taking [rehab] seriously,"
Umm, I wouldn't call inviting photographers to rehab "taking it seriously."
She actually does look good. Too bad that rehab has turned into a PR opportunity. That's America.
Anyone else think she looks like Lisa Kudrow in that pic?
I was one of Lindsay's biggest fans. She was the most beautiful celeb to me. She was such a star. Now I don't like her. She's a loser. She's probably not taking this rehann seriously. She's just pretending. So over her. She's just going to kill someone next time.
i'm glad she's doing great. she may not be a good actress but we need more iconic tragedies like her.
I wonder what she did with all her old AA chips now that she has to start over? A Keychain? Earings? Poker chips?
But where did the blonde go?
this kinda reminds me of what she was doing LAST TIME SHE WAS IN REHAB. hopefully, she will stay in there like a year, so she can actually get better. i want to go to her rehab, sounds a lot better than working 9 to 5 right now.
This attention seeking behavior is deplorable. She's in rehab, for crying out loud! Yet she's still craving the attention of the paps. She's loving every minute of the attention by the looks of all the pics I've seen. She should be concentrating on getting sober and self-reflection instead of plannining her comeback and making sure he name stays in the media. She'll never make it.
She's staring at the inside front cover of the book. She hasn't even started READING it yet. She's been rehab long enough to at least have read a chapter or two.
They call it Alcoholics ANONYMOUS for a reason. People who wear their recovery on their sleeve have something to prove. I'm not saying you should be ashamed or secretive about recovery, but she's clearly saying "LOOK AT ME! I'M READING THE BIG BOOK!"
I just hope she doesn't die before she gets sober.
What a bitch! Do something entertaining you bitch!
Why doesn't she do something funny like OD?
Honestly, what star who is "taking rehab seriously" brokers a deal with the paps? This whole thing is sad. I honestly hope Lohan gets it together, but this all looks so fake. I wonder if her Dina put her up to it.
Kudos to #12 for the horses & ketamine comment!
"Staged" photos, - yeah, that sounds about right for her.
"She" invited them there? Doesn't the facility have any say? What about the other patients who are actually trying to get well and not just keep them selves relevent? I can't imagine the directors of the lodge want the tabloids crawling around their property. They should kick her out.
how can they justify jail time for paris hilton if they only give nicole richie 4 days and lindsay lohan doesn't have to serve any time at all? both nicole and lindsay's offenses were way more serious than paris's. also, this is exactly what they said about linsday the last time she was in rehab. i think it's just a way to make her look better and get her out of serving jail time. i'll believe it's actually helping her when i see it.
I really wish her the best! At least she is making an effort.
Oh em gee. Everything this girl does is for attention. Lindsay, grow up you self centered little girl. What a sicko. Who wants their pics taken while at a rehab treatment facility??? Loser. I remember back in the day, going to rehab was shameful.
If this is all true…good for lindsey. she doesnt even know how lucky she is to get to go to rehab…and go 3x's! i had a bad drug problem for almost 10 years and no one in my family interviened or tryed to put me in rehab. i cleaned myself up right before i was about to be homeless. yes, it was my problem, but still she has people that are trying to help her. she is lucky. it hard for us normal people to see celebrities have everything and take advantage of all the things that we would love to have.
and if she gets off scott free from prison or jail time that is SO unfair. she did the crimes. she should have to do the time…anyone of us would still be locked up. lindsey…you should pay for what you did!!! do the right thing. be some sort of example for your fans. plead guilty and do the time. you may even learn a lil something along the way.
Is she freaking serious, I am in AA and we don't go around carring the big book like that. SHe is a fucking attention whore!
I didn't know that she could read! It's probably a book that is cleverly concealing Cosmo or something.
Even in rehab she is a fake! This just proves that she is not in rehab to get better. She is in rehab to fix her image and get some good PR and also to avoid jail. Such BS inviting a gossip mag to to rehab center! Disgusting. I hope she does NOT get off easy and goes to jail. This girl will only learn her lesson if she is punished for her mistakes, not rewarded for them.
Does anybody else think that her teeth look exceedingly white? Girlfriend is overdosing… on the Crest White Strips!
Having said that… Sniff Sniff… another PR stunt that's gonna backfire… how does her publicist Leslie Sloan have time to sleep with the stable of hot mess that she's got to contend with (Lindsey, Britney and the rest)? Lindsey, do yourself and the world a favor… retire… no one CARES about your movies anymore. Hey, do it for your health… get the heck outta Dodge before you die young like Jim Morrison or the rest. You know you're just gonna go right back to the old Toot Toot and drinky once you're out of rehab!
Is she serious?? I am in the program and we don't go around displaying the big book like that, it's called being anonymous. She is an attention wh***, who should get another day!
what i wouldnt do to go to utah and have lindsay bag my groceries….
i used to like her. now she's just messed up.
how pathetic. one word for her: LOSER. If any of us did what she did-drive drunk and do drugs-we'd be in jail in 10 seconds. The best rehab for her would be for no one to care about her, for people to ignore her, and for her never to have another picture publicized.

i don't believe this, but i hope she proves me wrong. also, even if it's for real, she should still go to jail for her own sake as much as society's need to see that the justice system is fair. if she actually had to plop her ass in jail, she might think twice about her next drinking and driving stint.
WOW - if Paris went to jail for one DUI and violating probation, Lindsay should definitely go to jail for one DUI and violating probation with another DUI!
let invite the photogs into rehab to see how great she's doing! then maybe we won't lose her insurance for her next project! maybe she will get a next project! she's so talented!! (these are her handlers talking)
don't believe the bullshit. someone better take her keys aways before she kills innocent bystanders.
Haters go away. Lindsay best wishes for what will be a DIFFICULT recovery!!
I knew that it was going to be some haters along the way! I think that u people don't pick up books at all, u spend half of your life sucking perez's ass! SHe is doing something productive..GET IT!
I THINK THATS A LOOK-A-LIKE!
But seriously, my brother is in rehab right now (rehab for non-celebrity/rich people) and they do get to leave the facility, but when they do they go to the movies or bowling. I want to go to rehab. I think it would be nice to take a month off and get your head straight.
She may be attention-seeking, but if she's truly working the 12 steps I can look past her ego. All kinds of people are recovering addicts, and we don't have to like each and every one of them in order to respect their struggle. I hope she stays clean and sober once she's in LALALand — probably the most difficult place to be if you're an addict. Hopefully Robert Downey Jr. or some other recovering celeb can help her or be her sponsor…that's when the real work begins.
Love the Mother Teresa outfit and hair
i hope she converts to mormon.
Why in the world would the rehab place let the paps in to take photos and to do an interview? I seriously doubt this story.
Um, doesn't broadcasting your rehab process all over fucking OK MAGAZINE violate the "anonymous" part of AA? The hardcore 12 steppers are going to broil her ass. This public display of her "healing" is all done to keep her out of jail. Bitch doesn't have a genuine bone in her body and the sham Cirque Lodge should be fucking ashamed.
Helloooo! "Replacing smoking? We've seen the pictures of her at rehab with a cig in her hand. Spin!
Can we say "ACTRESS"???? Any person that it is really taking rehab seriously wouldn't want the paps around. That is just another way to play the "I am sorry routine (going to rehab)" and then going back at it a few weeks later. Don't buy it. If falls of the wagon again in a couple of weeks, if she also going to blame the black guy that works there? If she wants attention, then do a public apology for what you did !!!!
She doesn't stand a chance for recovery … if she brokered the deal for a rag mag to take pix of her AT rehab AGAIN! Give me a break … what an idiot! The best part is when they (and the idiot fans of hers) complain … leave her alone … let her recover! Whatever! How can you feel sorry for a person like that!?
yeah right!!!
I don't believe that sh**t
Comon' Linds U can do it… make em' all eat shit! Make Paris take it up the ass sideways!!! Hang in There BITCH, Gud Luck, x j
Why are you such a cunt?
Life ain't a joke, and regardless of what I think of Lindsay, you fuckin think this is right? YOur promoting AA, and that's not fucking right! It's a fellowship by attraction NOT promotion. Her celebrity is promotion, and that hurts a fellowship that trys to help fellow addicts, and alcoholics, not to do fuckin photoshoots. No memeber is bigger then the fellowship, and no addict is meant to be put above any other, or lower then any other. It's about openmindedness, and wisdom, not Vanity Fair. So leave AA and all other fellowships out of your Hooray Lindsay posts, or your Lindsay's a drunk bitch posts. Addiction ain't a joke, and with your ways of swaying whichever way Paris does, leave a helpful fellowship out of your insanity. God knows there's enough drama in the lives of those getting clean, already!
"She hasn’t looked this good in years.”
She's 21!! Someone else said it - she's an actress and this "role" is her best one yet, she doesn't want to go to jail.
Although, jail does seem to be the new 'rehab' doesn't it?
ugh, cant she just die.
OK is the biggest celebrity suckup magazine out there. How many times did we hear this the LAST time she was in rehab. I believe none of it. Give me a year of sobriety, no clubbing, no whatever, and maybe I'll start to believe she's turning her life around. Until then I call bullshit on all of it. What a pathetic attempt at trying to manipulate the public with these staged photos. Its as bad as Paris walking around with all those religious books.
She had a photoshoot in rehab? Give me a fucking break. Like she is really taking this shit seriously.
This is completely fabricated. Her publicist probably concocted the story so it looks like she has changed and will be able to work once out of rehab. This is a business people. Everyone on her team probably sit around and identify a solution to get this chic to work and be appealing in the public's eye..like a pimp. They eat when she eats.
"Hi everyone, Lindsay here!
I'm reading this thing they call a "book"
and it has got me thinking…
If I cut a big hole in all the middle
pages, I can make this "book"
thingie into a great stash container!"

I bet the other patients love having cameras everywhere taking pictures so she can make money in rehab!
WILL THIS ATTENTION/MEDIA WHORE GET BETTER…I THINK AND HOPE NOT!
Like you said "STAGED" Just like she did w/her S.C.R.A.M. I'm NOT buying it!!!!!
I live in Utah County and saw Lindsay at Maverick Gas Station last night 8/21/07 buying a case of Miller Lite Beer, obviously the rehab is really working!!
Hey Man…kodos if its true!!…Im sure though were being played..lol
I would love to see her settle down and make some awesome movies and gain respect again!!
