- Lindsay Lohan arrived at Lynwood Correctional Facility to begin serving her 90-day jail sentence today, but according to a Sheriff’s Department spokesman, she’ll be out in 13 or 14 days.
- Sheriff’s spokesman Steve Whitmore says, “Her projected release date is Aug. 1 or Aug. 2.” Due to overcrowding, non-violent inmates only serve 25% of their sentence. With good behavior her sentence will be reduced 51 days, and a quarter of that is about 13 days. Whitmore says the jail was “on lockdown” as Lindsay was processed this morning, and she’s been “extremely cooperative.” [LAT, People]

- It’s hard to pick one quote from this interview with Matthew Weiner about the new season of Mad Men, but here’s one of the least spoilery: He says of Don and Roger’s relationship, “How can a person be friends with Don, who gives and reveals so little? And yet clearly Roger manages to get to him: Roger being conspicuously happy and running off with Don’s secretary made Don very angry. Roger does everything that Don can’t; he’s Don’s id – partly because he’s older and had had a heart attack and is confronting his mortality. To me, one of the great tensions in the show is that people act differently at different stages of their lives.” [N.Y. Magazine]
