Still behind bars as she's six days into her term for probation violation, Lindsay Lohan received the second visit of the weekend from lawyer Shawn Chapman Holley on Sunday.

Having already used up her two allotted personal visits, the "Machete" actress' attorney turned up at the Century Regional Detention Facility to keep her high profile client up-to-date while also checking in on her well-being.

Commenting on Lindsay's state of mind, Chapman Holley told Us magazine, “She is doing fine. She has made some friends.”

And while recent reports alleged that LiLo would be released by weekend's end, insiders now tell that they believe she'll be freed before the upcoming weekend.

As for claims that Miss Lohan is getting special treatment from jail workers, Chapman Holley said, "We are not asking for special treatment from the court or the sheriff, nor is she receiving special treatment."



Lindsay Lohan is due back in court Tuesday morning to surrender for a 90-day jail sentence that is likely to be whittled down by overcrowding and other credits.

Her stay will be longer than the 84 minutes she spent at a suburban Los Angeles jail in 2006 and marks the beginning of a new phase of punishment for drug and alcohol cases filed that year.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Marsha Revel sentenced the "Mean Girls" star to jail, three months in rehab and increased scrutiny by probation officials on July 6 after determining the actress violated her probation by missing seven alcohol education classes since December.

Lohan, 24, burst into tears after hearing the sentence, which came after she tearfully apologized to the judge for not strictly following the terms of her probation.



Lindsay Lohan is set to begin serving a 90-day jail sentence on Tuesday and the troubled young actress will follow through, her new lawyer pledged on the weekend.

Noted attorney Robert Shapiro, best known as a member of the so-called legal "dream team" that represented O.J. Simpson, signed on late last week to represent Lohan.

The actress received the 90-day sentence on July 20 for violating the terms of her probation for drunk driving charges dating from 2007.

"I have agreed to represent Ms. Lohan on the condition she comply with the terms of probation, including a requirement of jail imposed by Judge Marsha Revel," Shapiro said in a statement issued Friday.

"Ms. Lohan is suffering from a disease that I am all too familiar with. Hopefully, I can be of assistance to Ms. Lohan and Judge Revel in implementing a treatment approach recommended by medical professionals for Ms. Lohan's long-term recovery and sobriety," the statement said.

Shapiro's son, Brent, died in 2005 after battling drug and alcohol addiction. After his son's death, the lawyer started a foundation to support those in need of addiction treatment and opened an in-patient, sober living facility called Pickford Lofts.


Hall of Fame linebacker Lawrence Taylor is getting his chance to respond to charges that he had sex with a 16-year-old girl.

The former NFL star smiled as he arrived at a Rockland County courthouse on Tuesday for arraignment on charges that include third-degree rape. He's also charged with patronizing a prostitute and endangering a child.

When someone in the media throng asked if he was guilty, Taylor responded, "Grow up."

Taylor allegedly paid the girl $300 for their May 6 encounter in a hotel room in suburban Montebello.

Defense attorney Arthur Aidala has denied that the 51-year-old Taylor had sex with the girl.

Court papers in a federal case against the girl's alleged pimp say Taylor admitted to sex acts with the girl but was told she was 19.



Prosecutors want Campbell to say whether Taylor gave her a rough, or uncut, diamond as a gift during a celebrity-packed 1997 reception in South Africa hosted by then-President Nelson Mandela. They contend her testimony will support their contention that Taylor lied when he testified that he never possessed rough diamonds. Prosecutors assert that Taylor dealt in so-called blood diamonds - meaning those mined in a war zone, where the proceeds are used to finance an insurgency. The Special Court for Sierra Leone issued the order forcing Campbell to testify after she avoided prosecutors for a year, and made it known she had no wish to be part of the case.

She was ordered to appear in court in The Hague on July 29 at 9 am "or to show good cause why you cannot comply with this subpoena". Refusal could lead to prosecution for contempt, which carries a maximum 7-year prison sentence and a fine of 2 million Sierra Leone leones, or about $510, according to the subpoena released by the court. The appearance of Campbell, as well as of actress Mia Farrow and the model's former agent Carole White, who do not appear to have resisted testifying, will add a touch of glitz to a case already seen as a landmark, the first time a former African head of state has been put on trial by an international court.



Mel Gibson’s lawyer slammed Oksana Grigorieva’s claims that she had been treated cruelly by Mel and that he hadn’t been paying child support.  His lawyer actually termed her claims as “sensational allegations” because they were meant to simply tarnish his name in the media.

Right now, the ex-couple is battling over visitation rights.  Oksana received a restraining order last week causing Gibson’s lawyers to ask for a modification so the star can visit his daughter and spend time with her.

Kolodny, Gibson’s lawyer, told TMZ, “Oksana’s deceitful conduct in trying to terminate Mel’s access to his daughter continues.”

Last week, Oksana filed a restraining order against Gibson, and began spreading the rumor that he was not paying any child support.  The actor already has a tarnished image in the media due to past mistakes he made such as the anti-Semitic remarks.  It will be interesting to see how this whole debacle resolves between this Hollywood couple.



Gary Coleman's will names a friend and former manager as executor of the late child star's estate and specifies that he wanted to be cremated, according to documents filed Tuesday in state court in Utah. The documents, including the will, were filed in 4th District Court in Provo, where the 42-year-old Coleman died May 28 after suffering a brain hemorrhage. Coleman appointed friend Dion Mial as his executor.

Coleman says in the will that he wanted to be remembered in a wake conducted by people who had no financial ties to the star of the sitcom "Diff'rent Strokes." He also wanted none of the media that followed Coleman's legal, financial, health and marriage troubles through his adult life to be allowed to attend.

"I direct my personal representative to permit no members of the press to be present at my wake or funeral," Coleman stated.

Not mentioned in the will is ex-wife Shannon Price, whom Coleman was still years from meeting when he wrote the will in 1999. Coleman met Price on the set of the movie "Church Ball" in 2006. The couple married in 2007 and divorced in 2008.
