Lindsay Lohan Surrenders to Police

Lindsay Lohan, fresh out of a six-week stint in a posh L.A. rehab clinic, turned herself in today on charges stemming from a May 26 DUI and hit & run. (She had jumped a curb and hit some shrubs on Sunset Blvd. Police had located her at a local hospital.) Lohan has a court date set for August 24th.

My question is why was she allowed almost two months after her citation to actual "turn herself in"? Wouldn't most people be escorted directly to the police station to be fingerprinted and photographed? Is this just another case of celebrities getting special treatment?

Ms. Lohan is going to find herself washed up and broke and you know what.... I could care less!

I'd like to know why so many young teen celebs are drinking while under age? Why are so many alcoholics or other drug users at such a young age? Where are the parents? I guess as long as these teens make headlines and money, they'll be allowed special priveliges but I think the tide is turning. Even Paris Hilton had to go to jail, even if she got special treatment.
I think this gives a lousy message to teens who eat up every word about these spoiled celebs. Treat them like everyone else. Do the crime, do the time.

I couldn't agree more, Jane. While watching from the comfort of our homes while the lives of these Hollywood bimbos spiral out of control is inexplicably entertaining (I feel dirty even saying it, but feel the need to be honest with myself), it definitely sets a bad example for all the younger fans who grow up idolizing these girls (and guys).

I don't really know who she is, I think I've seen one video. Artists have set bad examples since ~1900. Drugs, drink and sexual liberties. Maybe it comes with the personality. Maybe they're bipolar and have impulse control problems. I don't know. They shouldn't have special priviledges other than maybe extra security due to their star status. The law enforcement probably wouldn't look good if one got beaten or stabbed while in jail.
We spend way too much attention on these folks and should be concentrating on helping the problems in the world. I really don't care if Brad and Angelina or Tom and Katie had a spat. The magazines are a waste of paper. AND...they pay them way too much. $?Over $20,000,000 for a picture? Outrageous! And we are the ones signing their paycheck.
