Lindsay Lohan Pulls a Britney Spears

Wednesday, May 30, 2007

Lindsay Lohan is following in Britney Spears' footsteps.

The 20-year-old actress reportedly checked into the Promises treatment center in Malibu Tuesday after she was arrested over the weekend for driving under the influence.

Lohan was driven to the center by her attorney, Blair Berk. A spokesperson for the lawyer declined to comment, saying only that Berk "does not disclose who her clients are."

When asked Tuesday how her daughter was doing, Dina Lohan told senior editor Marc Malkin: "We're still figuring it all out. We're all just figuring it out."

Lohan's run-in with the law occurred at around 5:30 a.m. Saturday, when the actress crashed her Mercedes convertible over a curb and into some trees. Police said they discovered a "usable amount" of a substance believed to be cocaine on the scene.

The Actress' troubles could cause problems for her latest project, the upcoming comedy Poor Things. Shooting on the film, which also features Rosario Dawson,
Shirley MacLaine and Olympia Dukakis, was due to begin Wednesday, according to Daily Variety.

Though the producers said they were confident Lohan's arrest would not affect the production schedule, a 30-day stint in rehab could prove to be a different story.

When Lohan last entered rehab at the posh Wonderland Center in Los Angeles in January, production on the thriller I Know Who Killed Me was shut down for over a week.

Developing story. More to come.
