"Time was when a woman comedian had to make herself ugly, cross her eyes, or fall down in order to get laughs. Her hair stuck straight up in the air–or else it resembled a ragmop.

After languidly sliming her way to court, eventually, when she felt like it, like one of those magic Death Valley sliding rocks, Lindsay Lohan has pleaded no contest to charges of reckless driving and lying to the cops. Instead of facing jail time, she'll have to complete 90 days of lockdown rehab.
