Lindsay Lohan begins house arrest

Lindsay Lohan is officially confined to her townhouse ... TMZ has learned the actress surrendered to authorities this morning and has begun to serve her house arrest sentence.

Lohan arrived to the Lynwood Jail at 5:02 AM this morning to check in -- where she was fitted with an electronic ankle bracelet. She was quickly sent home to her pad in Venice, CA and we're told she'll spend roughly 35 days in confinement.

According to the booking sheet, 24-year-old Lohan was listed at 5'7" and 117 lbs.

The sentence stems from Lohan's legal troubles involving a necklace she allegedly stole from a Venice jeweler. Lohan pled no contest in the case.

In addition to the house arrest, Lohan was also ordered to complete 480 hours of community service – which includes a stint at the L.A. County morgue.

Back to jail: Lindsay Lohan arrives at the LAX courthouse in Los Angeles today for the preliminary hearing into her necklace case. After hearing evidence against her a judge ruled she had violated her probation and sentenced her to four months in jail


Lindsay Lohan has been sentenced to 120 days in jail for a probation violation after a judge heard evidence against the actress in her necklace theft case.

The actress's lawyer Shawn Chapman said she will appeal the ruling, which will allow the actress to post bail, which was set at $75,000

Judge Stephanie Sautner also ordered Lohan to serve more than 400 hours of community service, including 300 hours at a women's center.

The ruling came after Sautner reduced Lohan's grand theft case down to a misdemeanor and after prosecutors gave their case against the actress.

It will be Lohan's fourth jail stint.

Sautner refused to dismiss the theft case against Lohan, but said she often sees more serious cases that get reduced to lesser charges.

'I see the intent here,' Sautner said. 'I see a level of brazenness with "Let me see what I can get away with here.'''

Sautner ruled that prosecutors had shown that Lohan violated her probation, but also said in reducing the charge that she was going to give the actress 'an opportunity.'

Lohan formally entered a not guilty plea at Friday's hearing. She is next due back in court on May 11 for a pre-trial hearing with the trial scheduled for June 3.

The 'Mean Girls' star arrived at the courthouse wearing a black long-sleeve shirt, blue trousers and a scarf.

Her father Michael Lohan was also in attendance and took a front row seat inside the court - where cameras have been banned.

The news came during a dramatic day at the LAX courthouse in Los Angeles, which culminated in Lohan breaking down in tears.

Various witnesses were brought to the stand throughout the day, including the owner of the jewellery store, the store clerk and the investigating officer from the LAPD.

Judge Sautner dismissed the motion to drop the case altogether, according to internet reports.

But it seems Lindsay's lawyer, Shawn Chapman, has managed to persuade the judge that the necklace was worth far less than $2,500.

Under California law, a crime only becomes grand theft if the value of the stolen goods exceeds $950.

Preliminary hearing: The actress wore a black top, Navy blue trousers teamed with an off-white scarf and wore her hair in an updo. She was accompanied by her lawyer Shawn Chapman, who wore a red dress


During the hearing Chapman had aruged the necklace was worth less than $2,500.

Furthermore Sofia Kaman, the owner of Kamofie & Co. - the Los Angeles jewellery store which Lohan allegedly stole from - admitted the store's mark-up price was two to three times that of the wholesale price.

The district attorney in the case, Jeanette Meyers, has said she will appeal the judges decision to reduce Lohan's charge from a grand theft to a misdemeanour, RadarOnline reports.

Earlier, jewellery store owner Ms Kaman told the court she waited a day before reporting the necklace as stolen because the actress told her she would return later.

Taking to the witness stand she testified at Lohan's preliminary hearing, telling the court it took 10 minutes before she realised the actress had left wearing the necklace.

She said she waited to report the necklace missing to polcie because Lohan had told her she would return the next day to buy a ring.

Lohan, 24, has been accused of taking the necklace in January without permission.

Lohan has been a courthouse fixture since last May when she missed a hearing in her drunken driving case.

Since then, two judges have sent her to jail twice and rehab, also twice.

On Wednesday, Fiore Films announced it had cast the actress to play the wife of John Gotti Jr., the son of the infamous mob boss dubbed the 'Teflon Don,' in a biopic of the family.

The project, title, 'Gotti: Three Generations,' is scheduled to begin shooting later this year in Lohan's native New York.

In an interview with the AP, Lohan said she was eager to put her court cases behind her and once again be known as an actress.

'I'm really excited to be back on set and clear up all the misinterpretations about me and show this is what I love to do,' Lohan said.

'I think in the past, I had a lot of distractions,' she said. 'I've learned a lot. I've lived a lot. When I'm on set, it's about the film.'

EXCLUSIVE: Has troubled Lindsay Lohan fallen spectacularly off the wagon?

By DONNA MCCONNELL

Down and out in New York: Lindsay Lohan exhibited some bizarre behaviour as she sat in the street smoking after leaving bar with friends


Sitting in a grimy street, head face-first on the pavement, troubled star Lindsay Lohan appears to be down and out as she leaves a New York bar.

Looking decidedly the worse for wear, Lohan - who as part of her probation is not allowed to drink alcohol - appeared to have spent the best part of the evening hanging out with friends in The Cabin Down Below bar soon after arriving in New York by private jet.

After emerging, she is seen stooping on the floor, groping for support, and struggling to stay atop her high platform heels.


A new Lo: Lindsay hits the floor with her face


Dressed in a very short black dress, leopard print coat, the Machete star kneels on the floor, cigarette in hand, laughing uncontrollably and inadvertently exposed her underwear.

The 24-year-old stumbles to her feet while her laughing friends - including Samantha Swetra who was recently involved in a fight with Boardwalk Empire actress Paz de la Huerta - show little concern.

Finally one of them goes to her aid.

Lohan attempted to play down the scenes this morning tweeting: 'Is it not allowed to slip and fall? im always a klutz!!!'


Party time in the Big Apple: Lindsay arrived in New York last night by private jet and was soon seen out with friends on the Lower East side of Manhattanv


A source told the New York Daily News that Lohan had checked into a Times Square hotel instead of going as planned to her family's Long Island home.

Later that night, she was seen bar-hopping with Swetra starting at the Rose Bar in the Gramercy Park Hotel before continuing to The Cabin Down Below in the East Village, an ultra-exclusive bar disguised as a dive.

Lohan arrived in New York as it emerged she is planning to leave Los Angeles and set up home in the city.


Questions to answer: Lindsay will have some explaining to do to her probation officer as she appears very high-spirited in these pictures taken last night


According to her mother Dina Lohan the troubled actress is 'actively looking' for an apartment to rent.

Lindsay has been seen more and more in the city in recent weeks, flying in on a private jet a few days ago, supposedly join her family for a vacation on Long Island.

'She will be in New York a lot more going forward. She's actively looking for places in the city with her younger brother Michael,' Dina said.

'She loves it here. And she has a lot of friends who already have places, so she might sublet.'

And Lohan wasted no time in meeting up with some of those friends in a bar on the Lower East Side of the city.


Helping hand: Lindsay's friends seemed unconcerned by her wobbly state, and offered her hand to get to her feet

Moving on: Lindsay's decision to move to New York may have been sparked by ex-girlfriend Samantha Ronson's new relationship

The troubling scenes will do little to impress her probation office who may have some hard questions to ask of the embattled starlet who is facing trial over the alleged theft of a $2,500 necklace she has been accused of stealing from a high-end store in Venice, California.

The Mean Girls star has already fallen foul of her probation officer as it emerged that she regularly consumes Kombucha tea, which has an alcohol content of 0.5 per cent or less.

Now the Los Angeles County Probation Department have added it to a list of reasons why the judge should violate her probation when she appears in court next week.

While there is no proof that she had been drinking, these exclusive pictures which will know doubt be added to the list of queries that need thorough explanation.

After her late night Lohan confined her activities to a spot of shopping today, looking at jewellery in New York.

The actress picked out a few pieces and made sure to pay for them before heading back to her hotel.

Lohan's decision to move to New York may well have been sparked by her ex-girlfriend Samantha Ronson, who this week went public with her new relationship.

And maybe she hoped she would gain a little freedom from the restrictions of her probation terms.

The actress moved into a beach home next door to Ronson's in Venice Beach after her release from rehab earlier this year.

While Lohan claimed the move was just a coincidence, it was widely interpreted as a sign that she hoped for a reconciliation with her former partner.

This week saw Lohan reject a plea deal. Judge Keith Schwartz was said to have offered the actress 60-90 days in jail she pleaded guilty in her grand theft case.

But Lohan was understood to be resistant to accepting the terms and is now taking her chances at trial.

However, if she decides to go to trial, she is scheduled for a preliminary hearing on April 2.

The jewellery store in question is now charging online customers $2.99 to watch CCTV footage showing the actress allegedly stealing the necklace.

It comes after segments of the footage were aired on Entertainment Tonight last month after it struck a deal with The Associated Press, who obtained the rights to the video footage.

But there is some good news for Lohan after prosecutors dropped a battery case against her in connection with a fight with a rehab worker last year after prosecutors determined there was insufficient evidence to pursue a battery case against the actress.

Make-up free Lindsay Lohan channels Native America look

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

New look: Lindsay Lohan pictured out for lunch with a friend in the Venice Beach area of Los Angeles yesterday


Lindsay Lohan opted for an eye-catching new look as she ventured out in Los Angeles yesterday.

The troubled actress, who was wearing barely a scrap of make-up, channelled the Native American look by wearing her hair in plaits.

She was joined by a male friend as they dined at The Otherroom in Venice Beach - just down the road from the jewellery store where she allegedly stole a $2,500 necklace.


Trendy: The actress teamed her Pocahontas-style hair with a below-the-knee tribal-inspired sweater


Lindsay teamed her Pocahontas-style hair with a below-the-knee tribal-inspired sweater.

The 24-year-old has now dropped her surname and wants to be known as just Lindsay.
Her reasoning is not to create a stronger showbiz brand, according to her mother Dina, however.

The 48-year-old, who also revealed that she and daughter Ali, 17, will be losing the name too - said the decision was taken to distance herself from disgraced father Michael.


ut and about: The actress dined at The Otherroom, just down the road from the jewellery store where she allegedly stole a $2,500 necklace


TMZ reports today that Major has got a protective order from a judge in Florida ordering Michael to stay 500 feet away from her and have no other contact.

According to the website, she is afraid of Michael coming after her from coast-to-coast, prompting her to ask a judge 2,500 away in Sarasota County to protect her from him.


Family feud: The actress and her mother Dina don't want to be associated with Michael Lohan and dropping their last name


Michael was charged last week with assaulting her. In court documents she claims 'he took a wet towel over my mouth + nose + was strangling me' before throwing her against the footrest of the bed.

She further claimed he sliced himself with a razor blade and said if she went to police 'he would say I injured him. He is insane'.

Michael claims Major assaulted him.

While his daughter might be dropping her surname, her mother Dina and sister Ali will use the maiden name Sullivan.

However, it's believed that her brother, Michael Lohan, Jnr, 22, will keep his father's name.

From late-night clubbing to wholesome bowling: Lindsay Lohan tones down her party girl image in New York

By Daily Mail Reporter


Bowling queen: Lindsay went on a wholesome trip to the Bowlmor Lanes, near New York's infamous Times Square yesterday


She raised alarms when she was spotted doing some late-night clubbing in New York earlier this week.

But in a bid to tone down the party girl image, Lindsay Lohan opted for a more conservative pastime yesterday - bowling.

The actress, along with her brother Michael Lohan Jr, little sister Ali Lohan, and around 10 friends all went on the wholesome trip to the Bowlmor Lanes, in New York's Times Square.


The large group stayed in a private area otherwise known as the Chinatown Room.
In a pair of skinny jeans, a black vest and blue cardigan, the 24-year-old went casual for the outing.

She later swapped her super high stiletto boots for some bowling shoes.

The actress was joined by here brother Michael Lohan Jr, left, and sister Ali Lohan, right, and around 10 friends


A cheery Lindsay later tweeted to her friends about the outing.

'Just spent the afternoon bowling with my little brother and sister at @bowlmorlanes, Michael's so good ha!' she wrote.

But as the night drew, she once again ventured out again.

This time she was dressed up in a printed draped mini dress, a casual black jacket and some combat boots.

It is unknown where she was going for her evening outing.

With a friend in tow, they left in a black car.

Lohan travelled to New York earlier this week to spend some 'quiet time' with her family while she mulls over whether or not to accept a plea deal in her grand theft case after she was accused of stealing a necklace.

But at first Lohan didn't seem to be spending much time relaxing as she kept busy catching up with friends in the city.

She then sparked immediate concern when she was seen enjoying the delights of New York's hottest nightclubs.

The actress was photographed at various venues around the city, including parties at the 1-Oak nightclub and the Simyone Lounge.

She was then forced to come forward to insist that while she has been making the most of Manhattan's night-life, she has remained sober while doing so.

Quieter: Her outing appeared to be a bid to tone down the party girl image


Following suggestions that she had started drinking again, Lohan told gossip website TMZ.com: 'I did not drink... period. I do not drink... period.

And a source told the New York Post: 'There was no way Lindsay was going to stay home with her mom. She had dinner, and then, bringing along her water bottle, went clubbing to SL, where she hung out with Tyson Beckford and got in the booth with DJ Phresh.

'She seemed totally sober and upbeat.'

Dolled-up: As night drew, Lindsay ventured out again in a printed draped mini dress, a casual black jacket and some combat boots


Lohan's decision to spend time with her friends rather than her family has apparently left her siblings and mother Dinah upset that she is not taking her legal problems seriously.

The source added: 'Her family is furious. She's supposed to be spending time with them and deciding if she'll take a plea deal. It's almost as if she thinks she may as well have one last final fling.'

But in a bid to appease her family, in addition to yesterday's bowling trip, Lohan also spent the night before with siblings Michael Lohan Jr, Ali and Cody Lohan as they watched the Memphis Grizzlies vs New York Knicks game at Madison Square Garden.

Lohan looked pretty in a peach chiffon shirt, shiny leggings and boots as she watched the match, smiling for the cameras and appearing happy and relaxed.

And while she has insisted she is not drinking, it was claimed recently the actress' probation is at risk, because she is drinking a fermented tea with a minuscule alcohol content.

Lohan is said to have told her probation officer that she regularly consumes Kombucha tea, which has an alcohol content of 0.5 per cent or less

Now the Los Angeles County Probation Department have added it to a list of reasons why the judge should violate her probation when she appears in court next week.

Lohan has until March 23rd to decide whether or not to accept Judge Keith Schwartz's plea deal, in which he is said to have offered the actress 60-90 days in jail she pleads guilty in her grand theft case.

But Lohan is understood to be resistant to accepting the terms and is considering taking her chances at trial.

If Lindsay accepts the deal, she will then appear in court on March 25.
However, if she decides to go to trial, she is scheduled for a preliminary hearing on April 2.

Lohan is accused of stealing a $2,500 necklace from the Kamofie & Company boutique in Venice Beach, Los Angeles on January 22. She denies the charge.
