Dina & Ali Visit Lindsay Lohan In Jail; Michael Reaching Out To Robert Downey Jr.

Following a weekend with no visitors, outside of lawyer Shawn Chapman Holley, Lindsay Lohan got to see her family on Monday.

Mother Dina Lohan and sister Ali arrived at the Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood, Calif., on Monday afternoon.

The two walked quickly past reporters and photographers stationed outside the facility, teen Ali wearing a blue baseball cap and keeping her head down the entire time. Mom and daughter clasped hands tightly as they headed into the facility where Lindsay has been locked up since last Tuesday.

The earliest estimations of Lohan’s release stand at August 1 or 2, Sheriff’s department spokesperson Steve Whitmore previously told Access Hollywood.

In related news, Michael Lohan, Lindsay’s father, is hoping some of her fellow actors can reach out and offer her support.

“My people are reaching out to Robert Downey Jr. and to Mark Wahlberg,” Michael told 107.5 The River, a Nashville radio station, on Monday.

“I know both of them,” Michael continued. “Mark is a tremendous human being. Hopefully, they’ll see her before she gets out and she’ll get in this rehab and get off these prescription meds, and she’ll get her life back.”

Lawyer: Lindsay Lohan Has Made Friends In Jail

Lindsay Lohan is adjusting to life behind bars and she has even found a friend or two, according to her lawyer.

On Sunday, the actress’ legal counsel, Shawn Chapman Holley, told media, “she has made friends.”

Holley added that Lohan “is not getting special treatment and she hasn’t asked for special treatment.”

“The deputies have treated her respectfully (and she them),” Holley also said.

As previously reported on media, Lohan was sent to the Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood, Calif., on Tuesday to begin serving her 90-day sentence, the result of violating her DUI probation. She is expected to serve around two weeks behind bars.

Jail Is ‘Saving’ Lindsay Lohan’s Life : Sharon Osbourne

The Osbourne family knows a thing or two about the fight against addiction – and matriarch Sharon Osbourne told Media that she thinks that Judge Marsha Revel saved Lindsay Lohan’s life by sending her to jail.

“I think it’s saving her life,” the “America’s Got Talent” judge told Access on Wednesday. “The judge has been the only one to give tough love and that’s what she needs right now. I know she doesn’t think so, but she’s going to look back on her life in a few months and she’s going to go, ‘Thank you, God.’”

Lindsay entered jail on Tuesday and is expected to be locked up for two weeks – only a portion of her 90-day sentence.

“It’s not going to cure her,” Sharon said. “But hopefully it will be enough time on her own for her to rethink her life.”

Lindsay spent several days in a sober-living house, the Pickford Lofts in Los Angeles, before beginning her jail time.

As previously reported on Media, court documents have revealed that Lindsay is using a number of prescription medications. Reported on Wednesday that the star will be able to continue on several of her prescriptions, including Adderall and Ambien, while in jail.

Her multiple medications have long been a source of worry to her father, Michael Lohan, who told Media’s Maria Menounos earlier this month that Lindsay’s drug intake was “toxic.”

“That combination will kill her,” Michael said.

Lindsay Lohan’s Jail Neighbor: Burglar Bunch Member

Lindsay Lohan may be segregated from the general population in the Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynnwood, Calif., but her nearest jail neighbor is an old acquaintance… of sorts.

Access Hollywood has learned that Alexis Neiers, the very woman who plead no contest to burglarizing Orlando Bloom’s home, is being housed in the cell next to the actress.

Lohan is in cell #28, while Neiers is in #29.

According to E! News, Neiers is in Paris Hilton’s old cell at the facility.

Lohan is not expected to have contact with other inmates while she is in jail, but the cells are reportedly close enough that the two women could talk if they wanted to.

Neiers was connected to the group of several young people who were accused of burglarizing the homes of several celebs in 2009 including Bloom, Lohan, Hilton and Rachel Bilson.

In related news, Mediachunks has learned that Lohan’s physical contact with the outside world will be kept to a minimum while she is inside. Her visits with her attorney will be through glass, via a phone. Additionally, showers will be isolated and break time for activities will also be done without others around.

Lindsay Lohan Dresses As Nun, Licks A Gun For ‘Machete’ Poster

It looks like Lindsay Lohan is packing heat for her role in “Machete.”

In a promotional photo released by Twentieth Century Fox, the controversy-laden actress is pictured licking a gun – dressed in a nun’s habit.

In the film, starring Danny Trejo, Lindsay plays April Benz, also known as “The Sister”, a character that director Robert Rodriguez calls “a cool part”for her.

“Machete” is Lindsay’s first movie since “Labor Pains,” which went straight to DVD, and her first action film.

It also stars Jessica Alba, Robert De Niro and Michelle Rodriguez. “Machete” hits theaters on September 3.

Michael Lohan, Dina Lohan React To Lindsay’s 90-Day Sentence

Michael Lohan is distraught that his daughter, Lindsay Lohan, was sentenced to jail, but he has some hope following Tuesday’s dramatic hearing in Los Angeles.

“Dismay,” Michael told Larry King on CNN’s “Larry King Live,” after the talk show host asked his reaction to Judge Marsha Revel’s sentence for his daughter – 90 days in jail. “But at the same time, [a] little satisfaction that she’s going to a rehab. But the last thing in the world I wanted was for my daughter to go to jail.”

According to Michael’s attorney, Lisa Bloom, who appeared on “LKL” alongside the father and Dr. Drew Pinksy, the two wrote a letter to court, telling the judge that they did not want to see Lindsay go to jail, but instead rehab. Michael went on to say that jail is the wrong place for his daughter, who turned 24 last week.

“Any kind of jail is harsh, especially for a young lady like Lindsay that doesn’t need jail,” he said. “I’ve been there myself and I know jail didn’t do anything for me with my addictions.”

Michael continued to insist that his daughter needs help for what he has claimed for months, is an problem with prescription pills. Lindsay’s lawyer, Shawn Chapman Holley, previously told Access Hollywood that the actress considers Michael’s claims defamatory.

“Lisa, Dr. Drew and myself have been telling everybody that this girl needs a rehab, she needs help. [Dr. Drew] wanted to help her, he offered to help her a long time ago. If Lindsay’s lawyer and Lindsay would have just listened to us, she would have been in a rehab, she would have been on a way to being clean and sober and have her life back,” Michael said. “Instead, she got jail and rehab.”

When asked why he and Lindsay aren’t on speaking terms presently, Michael claimed it had to do with his insistence that she go to rehab.

“Because I’m speaking out, like I am today,” he said.

In related news, Dina Lohan, Lindsay’s mother, who was not with her daughter in court on Tuesday (Michael and Lindsay’s sister, Ali, both were in the courtroom), issued a statement to AOL’s Popeater over her daughter’s sentence.

“This is so not fair to do to my child,” she said.

What Will Lindsay Lohan’s Time In Jail Be Like?

Lindsay Lohan will likely not serve the 90 days she was sentenced to on Tuesday, a spokesperson for the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department told Access Hollywood.

Steve Whitmore, a spokesperson for the Sheriff’s Department, told Accessthat general, non-violent females are eligible to serve just 25 percent of their sentence – which in Lohan’s case would amount to around 22 days.

Whitmore noted, however, that the official number of days isn’t likely to be calculated until Judge Marsha Revel, who sentenced Lohan on Tuesday for violating her DUI probation, hands down the court order.

Like Paris Hilton before her, who spent 23 days in lock up, Lohan will be held in Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood, Calif., where she will be in seclusion.

Hilton too was held in seclusion, spending her sentence in a cell away from the general population.

Lohan will be kept away from the general population for her safety and the security of everyone involved in the jail, Whitmore told a group of reporters following the actress’ hearing in Beverly Hills on Tuesday.

She must turn herself into the court by July 20.

Lohan will then be handed over to the Sheriff’s Department, which runs the jails.

Lohan and Hilton aren’t the only stars who have received substantial jail time for probation violations. While Hilton, who was originally sentenced to 45 days, and served just 23, former “24” star Kiefer Sutherland was sentenced to 48 days in jail in late 2007/early 2008, all of which the actor served.

Sutherland, who served his sentence in Glendale, Calif., received 30 days for a DUI charge and 18 for violating a pre-existing probation on a similar charge.
