All Eyes on Lohan As She Returns to Court Today
Will she be made to serve jail time? Is a plea deal on the table? Will she be wearing another tight, white outfit? Ah, Lindsay Lohan. Once again, the actress is the reason for media hysteria today, as she faces the judge today in the case of the stolen necklace.
Lohan has claimed all along that she did not take the $2500 necklace from a Venice jewelry store, and her attorney, Shawn Chapman Holley, says her client "is willing to consider a deal," according to LA Now.
However, this morning, as Lohan heads to court, a plea deal seems unlikely, says the Times, and many speculate the judge will see to it Lohan serves some jail time.
PS, when it comes to what she's wearing, LA Now also reported that Lohan's mom, Dina, advised her to trade in the tight, white dress for something a little more professional. When she arrived, a little late, for court today, she was accompanied by her mother, and moved briskly past the throng of photographers who have been camped out for hours outside the glass building.
