- Lindsay Lohan‘s lawyer—Robert Shapiro, of O.J. Simpson “Dream Team” fame—quit last night, apparently because Lindsay refuses to follow his instructions. This is the second time a lawyer has dropped her for being difficult.
Shapiro’s decision came at kind of a bad time for Lohan – the night before she was to begin her jail sentence. Lilo is more than a little worried about the 90-day sentence – which starts today. She tweeted last night: “The only ‘bookings’ that I’m familiar with are Disney Films, never thought that i’d be ‘booking’ into Jail… eeks.” [NYP]
- Radar Online has a video of Lohan moving out of the sober house where she has been living in preparation to enter jail. Basically, it’s Lindsay running from cameras, so if you’re so inclined… [Radar]
- Even before Shapiro quit, Michael Lohan was already on his case, claiming that he wasn’t doing enough to keep Lindsay out of prison and in rehab. His daughter posted about the scandal on Twitter. “I don’t want my ex-father anywhere near me no matter where I am. He is crazy and scares me,” she said, in a series of Tweets. “I am in a great place and he only brings negativity in my world.” [Daily Express]
