LOS ANGELES (AP) -- With two trips to rehab behind her and a litany of legal problems ahead, Lindsay Lohan joins a long list of young Hollywood talents who've faced high-profile battles with drugs and alcohol. Some went on to enjoy healthy careers. Others died young.

Lohan, 21, was arrested early Tuesday in Santa Monica and released on bail for investigation of misdemeanor driving under the influence and with a suspended license, and felony cocaine possession.

"I am innocent... did not do drugs they're not mine. I was almost hit by my assistant Tarin's mom I appreciate everyone giving me my privacy," Lohan wrote in an e-mail to "Access Hollywood" host Billy Bush, the show reported on its Web site Tuesday night.

Police found cocaine in one of the actress' pockets during a pre-booking search, Sgt. Shane Talbot said. Police initially said Lohan was also being booked for investigation of transporting a narcotic but later said she was not

5. Her movies are in big trouble - article in NYT

I guess she has 3 movies out that will be affected. One is a thriller that is due out in just a few days and she is in almost every scene. But they are downplaying her role now.

She was also going to do a movie with Shirley McLaine and it was supposed to start shooting here shortly.

She has let so many people down. But that is what addicts do. The article I read this morning said that she in uninsurable at this point. And if you are uninsurable you are done.

18. I saw the trailer for that and her name is displayed in a very small type size.

Something like this:

I Know Who Killed Me
Lindsay Lohan

They're downplaying it so much, I didn't even realize she was in the movie.

8. Well, I believe her

She's always been such a level-headed and sensible person, after all. :sarcasm:

9. I tried that excuse with my parents when they found a pack of Merits in my jacket.

It didn't fly very far, nor should it have.

10. Lindsay, go away. Or at least team up with Tim Allen - he used to know where to get the stuff too.

For a little while, anyway.

Shameless plug for daughter, please forgive me fellow DU'ers


Forget this drunk, unemployable actress. My daughter, also with red hair and doesn't drink would love to take her place.
