Lindsay Lohan Squeezes Out One More Kick-Ass Party Weekend Before Inevitable Second Stint In Rehab

For those of you perhaps just stirring out of a three-day coma or recently trapped in a coal mine: Lindsay Lohan, gravel-voiced screen icon and role model for legions of America’s wayward youth, hit a minor developmental stumbling block just a few months short of her 21st birthday (no longer, it just so happens, to be sponsored by Svedka Vodka): She was arrested, after law enforcement found a “usable amount” of cocaine – flavour indeterminate – in her abandoned, crashed vehicle. Unstoppable party juggernaut that she is, however, Lohan was photographed a day later being transported, nearly unconscious, out of Teddy’s in one of their V.I.P. courtesy wheelbarrows, and dumped into an awaiting SUV piloted by D.J./confidante Samantha Ronson. Now In Touch Weekly is reporting that Lohan – who, after a year of AA meetings, has recently expressed leeriness in labelling herself an out-and-out “addict” – has checked herself into Promises’ seaside facilities for another shot at rehab:

Lindsay Lohan is on her way back into rehab, In Touch can exclusively reveal. After a wild weekend that saw her arrested for DUI early Saturday morning – and out of it in a car just two days later – she’s seeking treatment. (Hanging from the rear view mirror was one of her AA chips, reading ‘30 Days. One Day At A Time.’.)

“She finally realises it’s the right thing to do,” a close friend of the 20-year-old actress tells In Touch exclusively. “She is going willingly.”

Lindsay is due to check into Promises in Malibu this afternoon (LA-time) In Touch has learned. That is the facility that Britney Spears entered after shaving her head.

We’re somewhat relieved that Lohan has opted out of a second stay at the overly relaxed Wonderland facility, with its Montessoriesque approach to rehab, and has opted instead for Promises Malibu, whose clinically proven techniques gave fellow rock-bottom-dweller Spears the fortitude and spiritual clarity required to accomplish a whirlwind comeback tour shortly after her release. We can only hope Lohan will similarly emerge one month from now, fully adequite, and, like, yeah motherfucker, just fine, and fall into Hollywood’s legendarily forgiving and sympathetic embrace.
