Lindsay Lohan surrenders to jail authorities
by Roberta Ferguson on Jul.20, 2010, under articles

Today is D-Day for Lindsay Lohan and TMZ is covering the scene where she is supposed to be surrendering herself to authorities. She was given a 90 day sentence by Judge Marsha Revel, but it’s likely that she’ll only serve 23 days and get out early based on good behavior.
Just yesterday, it was revealed that her lawyer, Robert Shapiro, quit. Rumor has it that Lindsay feels that he was only using her to promote his sober living house. Shawn Chapman Holley is stepping up to the plate to deal with the details of her surrender.
Lindsay has just arrived with Shawn to surrender to authorities. Will update as soon as we have more details! (And a mug shot, hopefully)
Lindsay Lohan in denial over jail sentencing Tuesday

Lindsay Lohan is still counting on Robert Shapiro to pull a rabbit out of his hat for her at the eleventh hour. According to TMZ, she’s delusional and thinks that since he worked wonders with O.J. Simpson, he should be able to take on Judge Revel.
It’s funny because Shapiro said that the only way he was going to take the job was if she was sent to jail. Now, she feels that he can still work his magic and keep her out of the pokey.
And, we’re told, the reason it took so long to find a new lawyer is because Lindsay only wanted someone who could keep her out of jail but no credible lawyer would make that promise.
And here’s the thing. From what we’re hearing, there is no way in hell Judge Revel is going to back down.
Even more recently, Lindsay took to her Twitter page to bash her father. She tweeted, “I don’t want my ex-father anywhere near me no matter where I am. He is crazy and scares me. I don’t want Michael Lohan Sr. anywhere near me, no matter where I am. I am in a great place and he only brings negativity in my world.”
We still think there’s jail in her future and it starts tomorrow!
Lindsay Lohan couldn’t afford Stuart V. Goldberg, hires Robert Shapiro?
by Lydia Harris on Jul.12, 2010, under articles

On Friday, it was said that Lindsay Lohan called Chicago based lawyer Stuart V. Goldberg and asked him to fly to Los Angeles to meet with the Lohans over her jail sentencing case.
He came out there, but was not hired as counsel. Shawn Chapman Holley remains counsel of record until Lindsay retains a new one. Stuart, the orange oompa loompa, apparently does not work for free.
Stuart V. Goldberg met with Lindsay, Dina and Ali on Friday night and it was a done deal, until he got a call over the weekend from Lindsay’s business manager, Lou Taylor, who said they just couldn’t afford him … this is all according to Goldberg’s camp.
But on the Lindsay side, it’s a whole other story. Let’s just say that even Dina and Lindsay decided Goldberg was … how do we say it nicely … a little eccentric. How ’bout a license plate with letters that reveal the word, “Snake Charmer”
The new leader in the clubhouse? We hear it’s none other than O.J. Simpson’s former lawyer, Robert Shapiro. Hey, Shapiro helped get a killer off, so maybe not such a bad idea.
She’s only got eight days to make some magic happen. She needs to get on an appeal if she’s going to do it already.
