Lindsay Lohan: 'I Could Write The Book On Rehab'
Lindsay Lohan said out loud what we already suspected: she thinks rehab is a joke.Lohan gave an interview to Piers Morgan in the Daily Mail (which we accessed via the New York Post). She told him, "I don't think I need to be on lockdown for three months."
She added, "I've been court-ordered to do it six times. I could write the book on rehab. Constantly sending me to rehab is pointless. The first few times I was court-ordered to rehab it was like a joke, like killing time."
Lohan is back after the Betty Ford Clinic for a 90-day stint, and it's not her first time there. She was at the Rancho Mirage facility in 2010. This time might be different—not in the sense that she'll emerge a new woman but that she might blog about her time there.
Lohan has a spotty record but she says she doesn't really regret any of it: "I live without regrets. There are certain things I have done, mistakes that I made, that I would change, but I don’t regret them at all, because I’ve learned from them."

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else.
