Well, she's certainly committed to maintaining her innocence!

Lindsay Lohan is reportedly so intent on proving that she did not steal the $2,500 necklace for which she's currently being charged with felony grand theft, that she offered to submit a polygraph test!

The sticky fingered actress' lawyer, Shawn Chapman Holley, reportedly met with prosecutors Danette Meyers and John Lynch earlier in the week to offer the option, but they naturally refused due to the test not being scientifically sound, and the amount of evidence that points to LiLo's guilt!

Nice effort, bb, but we think you're just going to have to resign yourself to the fact that this is a SERIOUS crime, and the best bet you have is to just appear in court when you're supposed to, and be HONEST about what actually happened - whatever that may be!

Another day of freedom for Lindsay Lohan! But most likely not for long!

Although it was originally expected that the thieving, formerly hard pAArtying actress would be charged today with felony grand theft, the DA's spokesperson Jane Robinson has revealed:

"Nothing will be filed today."

Why, you ask?

A source close to the situation reveals:

"Charges will be filed against Lindsay this week. There are just some minor housekeeping issues to get ironed out on the case before it's filed."

But that doesn't mean LiLo is going down without a fight! The busiest lawyer in all of El Lay, Shawn Chapman Holley, was spotted at the DA's office today, arguing on behalf of her client as to why the charges should not be filed.

Somehow, we have a feeling that the poor thing is wasting her time. We sincerely doubt that gurlfriend is going to be able to slither her way out of this one.

Such a shame. We really thought that she was on the mend.

Oh, for goodness sake! This girl is just TROUBLE.

Montana Fishburne reportedly not only duped her father, Laurence Fishburne, but also her lawyer, Shawn Chapman Holley, when she was recorded apparently drinking what was thought to be bleach, but ultimately was just a horrible hoax!

According to sources, Laurence hired a private investigator to follow his daughter around last August because he was so concerned for her well-being. However, she soon caught on to him, and drank the 'bleach' "to put on a show."

However, when lawyer Holley discovered the video, she attempted to use it in her client's ongoing criminal assault case to prove that Montana was batshit and wanted the prosecutor to convince him to get a plea deal that involved rehab instead of jail time.

However, according to legal documents, the prosecutor was less than convinced, and wrote that the video "was just a ploy by the defendant to manipulate the People to offer a more lenient sentence."

Meanwhile, it was only AFTER Holley sent in the tape that she realized it was all phoney, and even notified the prosecutor!

Geesh! So much for the rehab deal!

It's pretty bad if even your LAWYER has to own up to your nonsense!

Unfortunately, we have a feeling that things are not looking good for Miz Montana! But maybe it's for the best, and some time behind bars can help her put her life choices in perspective for her.

Poor Lindz just isn't getting a break from anybody these guys!

Palm Desert Police Dept officials are saying that they believe Lindsay was under the influence of drugs or alcohol during her time in rehab.

Here's what Lindsay's attorney Shawn Chapman Holley had to say about it:

"I had numerous conversations with Betty Ford counselors and doctors and it was never suggested by anyone that she ever drank or used drugs. Her discharge letter is totally consistent with that."

What's up with the LiLo hating, Palm Desert cops? Seriously!

It seems that Lindsay Lohan's legal team was not pleased when Palm Desert police announced that the actress violated her parole.

Her attorney, Shawn Chapman Holley, said:

"The important, yet limited, investigatory role of the police to gather facts and collect evidence is well-established. The fact that the Palm Desert Police Department went outside this limited role to issue a press statement expressing its opinion about what should happen in Ms. Lohan's case is highly unusual and deeply troubling."

We agree. No matter the facts, it was not their place to give that statement.

Earlier today, we agreed with Michael Lohan when he said that Lindsay needs to surround herself with people who are positive influences, such as her potential sober coach Iris Martin.

Now, Michael is saying that he needs to make peace with his ex-wife Dina to ensure that Lindsay doesn't relapse, and we def agree with him! That would certainly be a positive thing for Lindsay.

Here's what Michael had to say about his peacemaking efforts:

"I am getting in touch with Lindsay's team, including Tom Hansen, Blair Berk, Lou Taylor and Shawn Chapman Holley, in the hope of trying, again, to have them to persuade Dina to sit down so we both can iron out our differences.

Quite frankly, everyone knows this, including all the counselors and therapists: Dina and I need to get along and put our differences aside if Lindsay is going to have any chance at a full recovery without relapse."

And more from Michael because there's always more:

"Everyone has been asking Dina to sort out her issues with me, but the general consensus is that she simply can't admit or take responsibility and she is afraid to do so. But that isn't even part of it, she doesn't have to admit anything. All she has to do is keep Lindsay and the kids out of our differences and try to get along for their sake."

"She can make all the claims she like about child support - the truth of which is that every cent owed has been paid and even more — but there is a much deeper and important issue here: Lindsay's health is first and foremost."

"Our kids are first and we should be second."

We're not sure if publicly bringing up subjects like "child support" and "Dina being unable to take responsibility" is going to help your cause, Michael, but we absolutely agree that your kids should be first.

Work things out with Dina, but seriously…do it privately!
