LiLo Celebrates Her 26th Birthday Sober (With Sprinkles & Smoking, Too!)

Could it be that Lindsay Lohan is kicking off a new year in her young life with reformed habits? An encouraging (albeit gossipy) report from West Hollywood this weekend found Lohan, who turns 26 today, at Bootsy Bellows celebrating her birthday, but skipping on sipping the plentiful booze at her table.A "witness" fed the info to US Weekly (who proceeded to spell Lohan's first name wrong): "There was a ton of alcohol at Lindsey's [sic] table, however she didn't appear to be drinking," says their source. However, there was also cake and Sprinkles Cupcakes, and the singing of "Happy Birthday" by the room.
One thing Lohan just can't seem to quit, though is smoking. She's allegedly got a two-pack-a-day habit, and a rep for lighting up the second she completes a scene on her latest project, the Elizabeth Taylor TV biopic.
Recently, Lohan's health has been in question, particularly after she was found unresponsive in her Marina Del Rey hotel room after a long day of work on the film. She also managed to get herself involved in a traffic accident with a large truck recently, which could jeopardize her probation status.
Happy 26th birthday, LiLo!
