Why Shapiro Hit the Road

Robert Shapiro has made himself scarce much like Lindsay's last lawyer, Shawn Chapman Holley. Holley is thought to be back by default, though. It turns out that when Holley quit working for Lohan two weeks ago she neglected to sign the paperwork to officially remove herself as counsel. So now she may have to deal with some last minute drama due to her own negligence.


As for why Shapiro quit, E! News has it down to Lindsay’s irresponsible and disrespectful behavior while she was staying in the “sober house” he founded. They report that she had people over all the time and was generally disruptive. It’s not known at this time whether Lindsay will issue a last minute appeal and who exactly will be representing her. Given the way she ended up receiving jail time in the first place - by consistently messing up the multiple chances she’d been given, I think it’s safe to assume that she’ll be unsuccessful if she even manages to scratch together an appeal.


Last week, she checked into Pickford Lofts, a sober-living house started by Shapiro after he lost his son Brent to a drug overdose in 2005. Shapiro was spotted heading into the building on Thursday, as was Lohan’s assistant.Though ostensibly a positive step, it may have been Lohan’s brief stay at the Los Angeles residence that made things worse. A source tells us that Shapiro was not happy with her behavior there.
“She was unruly,” the source says. “She was having people over at all hours of the night. She acted like she ran the place.”
 The Deputy District Attorney  vows to fight an appeal if Lohan manages to mount one. The Deputy DA says that she should have been informed about a meeting Shapiro had with Lindsay’s judge yesterday. It’s thought that Shapiro told Judge Revel in chambers that he was no longer representing Lohan. She was moving out of his sober living house around that same time.


This girl could have potentially put off going to jail a few months if she even bothered to mount an appeal. She didn’t manage to secure a lawyer willing to deal with her drama in time, though, and picked a guy who made a public statement that he would represent her only if she went to jail. She managed to piss him off somehow, is still headed to jail, and we don’t even know who will be representing her as she’s hauled off amid a circus of camera crews and paparazzi.


Lohan recently tweeted that she’s scared of jail and wrote “the only “bookings” that I’m familiar with are Disney Films, never thought that i’d be “booking” into Jail… eeeks.” It’s surprising that she even remembers her bookings for Disney movies, considering how she’s addled her brain in the five years since she’s done one. The latest news on her upcoming film, Inferno, is that she’ll show full frontal nudity but that it will be “violent nudity,” according to the film’s director. He compared it to “linked images of the Vietnam war – that kind of context.” We’ve already heard that the film will involve violent, degrading scenes for Lindsay’s porn star character, Linda Lovelace. All Lindsay remembers are her Disney bookings, though.
Oh and as for what Lindsay can expect in jail. She’ll be housed in the solitary confinement area, where she’ll be alone around 20 hours a day. She will be allowed to shower every other day and exercise three times a week. It’s not known whether she’ll be able to take any of her prescribed medication.
