Lindsay Lohan Rejected From 2 Santa Monica Hotels
Oh, the shame! There was no room at not one, but two inns--well, swanky Santa Monica hotels, actually--last night for Lindsay Lohan, who was flat out rejected from registering as a guest.
Lohan and her mother, Dina, took a last minute flight to L.A. from New York Tuesday night, after reports circulated the actress risked arrest for having her new NY-based lawyer submit a suspicious "sick note" to excuse her from not appearing in court Wednesday.
Once in L.A., the Lohans plus entourage headed to Santa Monica, and their first stop at about 1 a.m. was Shutters on the Beach. Dina Lohan went in to check in, but Shutters reportedly refused to allow them to stay, citing a 2007 incident in which Lindsay and a then-boyfriend trashed a room there, putting LiLo on their blacklist.
TMZ has video of the incident at Shutters:

Next, the Lohans headed to Loews Santa Monica, where they were also turned down. According to TMZ, it was because there were no available rooms.
It's not clear where Lindsay, Dina et al. ended up for the night, but with a court appearance at the Del Aire courthouse first thing this morning, hopefully it was somewhere the starlet could get a good night's sleep so she can be her best before the judge.
Lohan's court appearance today is in conjunction with accusations she violated her parole by allegedly lying to authorities about her involvement in a car accident last summer.
