After a weekend adventure that involved crashing her Mercedes, being arrested for suspicion of driving under the influence, and being photographed slumped over in the passenger seat of a friend’s car, 20-year-old actress Lindsay Lohan checked herself into rehab on Monday.
Photos that recently appeared in the press showed the starlet snorting cocaine, and the images of her stumbling around drunk have been a staple in the gossip mags for years.
Unfortunately for Lindsay, however, she was scheduled to start filming her latest film, “Poor Things” this week, and a stint in rehab would certainly affect that. While the studio probably should have just dropped her and found a replacement, it seems as though they are willing to hold off filming for a little bit.
Shirley MacLaine, who is producing the indie film with Rob Hickman, is giving Lohan a break:
“In the spirit of helping Lindsay Lohan and her rehabilitation, we have been asked by Lindsay to comply with her wishes to continue working on Poor Things. We are trying to rearrange the shooting schedule to facilitate her working at the end of the shoot to coincide with the completion of her rehabilitation. We wish her love and the blending of mind, body and spirit.”

Someone should warn Shirley about the hazard of being an enabler. Hire someone else. Lohan has pushed the envelope off the cliff. I will NOT see this movie.
