Lindsay Lohan down to the wire on going into rehab
It’s coming down to the wire for Lindsay Lohan.
She has until Thursday to prove to the Los Angeles County Superior Court that she has enrolled in rehab. She has said she would like to do the rehab in New York.
A source in the Los Angeles city attorney’s office said Wednesday that they have not heard anything about whether Lohan has entered rehab and that they will probably get an update from her attorney at a hearing tomorrow.

Her attorney had earlier said that she would do the rehab in New York, and the source said they have heard nothing to change that so far.
A Los Angeles judge sentenced the actress to serve 90 days in a drug rehabilitation facility, directed her not to leave the facility for any reason and said there would be no passes of any kind that allow her to leave the grounds.
The facility does not have to be locked, but the judge made it clear she would violate her probation if she left at any time. Officials will be monitoring her progress.
The “Mean Girls” star avoided jail in a last-minute deal by pleading no contest to misdemeanor reckless driving and providing false information to police. A charge of willfully resisting, obstructing or delaying an officer was dismissed. In addition to spending 90 days in rehab, she must also spend 18 months in psychotherapy and serve 30 days of community service.
In pleading no contest, Lohan admitted she had violated her probation in a 2011 shoplifting case.
