Yesterday, reports circulated that the police landed another blow against Lindsay Lohan after they revealed that she smelled like booze after her alleged car crash on the PCH last summer. Despite that fact, Lindsay was offered a plea deal where she’d only have to do community service and two months of rehab, which is a pretty good deal considering there’s a mountain of evidence against her as well as the fact that she’s a repeat offender whose probation could be suspended. Except this is Lindsay Lohan, professional moron, we’re talking about here, so of course she turned it down. From TMZ …
Sources connected with Lindsay tell TMZ … prosecutors insisted Lindsay accept a significant amount of time in a residential rehab facility, but Heller wasn’t having it. We’re told prosecutors bent a little and offered somewhere around 30 days rather than the 60 they initially wanted — still Heller didn’t accept. We’re told Heller and prosecutors have not given up, and one source connected with the talks tells TMZ, “Negotiations are ongoing.” BUT … sources say Heller and Lindsay are not in lockstep — he’s willing to accept a plea that involves counseling and possibly some sort of rehab, but Lindsay says she’s not accepting any of it because to her it sounds like “punishment for something I didn’t do.” Bottom line … prosecutors aren’t worried if they can’t strike a deal — we’re told they’re more than willing to go to trial March 18.
Granted, this is Lindsay we’re talking about, so I’m pretty sure she’s completely convinced herself that nothing is ever her fault, no matter how clearly it is. You could find Lindsay with her hand in the cookie jar, with a mouthful of cookies, while she videotapes herself doing it, and yet if you asked her if she ate the cookies in the cookie jar, she’d probably say something like “IT WASN’T ME YOU CAN’T PROVE ANYTHING YOU’RE JUST JEALOUS BECAUSE I WAS ELIZABETH TAYLOR!”
