Lindsay Lohan’s Accuser: Still Under Investigation

Lindsay Lohan’s Accuser: 

Still Under Investigation

Just when she thought she was in the clear, Lindsay Lohan may still have to deal with drama from the Riverside District Attorney stemming from an alleged incident with Dawn Holland, a former Betty Ford Clinic worker.

According to Owen McIntosh, Holland’s new attorney, “As far as I know the Riverside District Attorney’s investigation is still ongoing.”


He continued, “They briefly spoke with my client last week but we have not heard anything more from them relating to any charges them may or may not be pursuing.”

"As far as I am concerned the real issue here is that Betty Ford has ‘dropped the ball’ as far as my client is concerned with this case. I have put in around six calls to their insurance carrier Sedgewick CMS and have yet to have a response regarding my client’s workers compensation claim which is ridiculous. She is living off temporary disability benefits just now while they are stalling about the ‘cause and scope’ of her work at Betty Ford at the time of the incident.”

D.A. Won't Let Lindsay Lohan Rehab Fight Slide

 D.A. Won't Let Lindsay Lohan Rehab Fight Slide

By all accounts, and somewhat incredibly, Lindsay Lohan's rehab scuffle appears to be a victimless crime in which she did nothing wrong.

Nevertheless, the Riverside County D.A. won't let it slide.

The push to prove Lindsay Lohan's probation was violated continue, as the D.A. wants further investigation into LiLo's alleged melee at Betty Ford.

Lindsay Lohan is out of rehab, but not out of the woods.

District Attorney-Elect Paul Zellerbach met with his lead investigator and prosecutor this morning to talk about Lindsay Lohan's altercation with Dawn Holland.

Here's why officials may be out to get Lindsay Lohan only to send a message:

1. Only the Beverly Hills judge in her DUI case can revoke probation.
2. Dawn herself has said she doesn't want Lohan prosecuted.
3. The dude who was with her that night says she was clean.

Just the same, the DA's office says it wants more info to decide whether to charge Lindsay Lohan and seems bent on pushing the matter further. Stay tuned.

Judge Takes No Immediate Action On Lindsay Lohan’s Criminal Investigation

 Judge Takes No Immediate Action On Lindsay Lohan’s Criminal Investigation

Lindsay Lohan is probably breathing a little easier: Radar Online reports that although Judge Elden Fox (the one who warned her she’d serve time if she got into more trouble while on probation) has reviewed the results of the criminal investigation into the battery charge against the actress, he is NOT taking any immediate action.

A source close to the situation tells RadarOnline.com: “Judge Fox read the report, and put it back in Lohan’s file. Right now, based on what he has read, he won’t be taking any action against Lindsay.”

Most of you seemed to think Lindsay Lohan should have to face some sort of consequences for her behavior. I’m guessing the judge really wants her to finish out this probation so he doesn’t have to deal with her anymore .

(And the Betty Ford worker wanting to drop the charges probably further encourages him not to do anything.)

Cops Probing Lindsay Lohan Case Badgering Friend; Adam Case Stands By Troubled Star

A friend of Lindsay Lohan's named Adam Case has found himself at the center of ongoing Palm Desert, Calif., police efforts to really stick it to her.

Unfortunately for the cops, he's squarely on her side.

Hours before Lindsay Lohan allegedly battered Betty Ford staffer Dawn Holland, she was hanging out in a hotel with Adam Case, a fellow rehab patient.

 Cops Probing Lindsay Lohan Case Badgering Friend; Adam Case Stands By Troubled Star

Case had spent a lot of time with Lindsay Lohan recently, and saw Lindsay's now-infamous altercation with Holland - he's the one who dropped her off late.

Palm Desert cops are convinced Lindsay Lohan was drinking in the hotel room, that Lohan attacked Holland and that Case could help them prove both.

Not so fast.

Cops got a statement from Case that very night, and he backed up Lohan's side. Dissatisfied, cops went back to Case and grilled him again.

That's not even it. Days later Palm Desert cops went to Case yet again and interrogated him over what Lindsay did in the hotel room Dec. 12.

Specifically, whether she consumed alcohol.

Lindsay Lohan insists she was clean, and Case said he never saw her take a drink. Cops pressed Case to get a copy of his hotel bill, but he refused.

As for what happened in the hotel room, Case says Lindsay Lohan spent a long time her hair, then hung out with him and a few other friends.

Looks like a witch hunt and nothing more. Much as the cops would love to find evidence of Lindsay Lohan drunk, our girl was A-O-K!  (THG)

Samantha Ronson to Lindsay Lohan: Welcome!

Looks like World War III has been called off, or at least put on hold.

Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson struck a truce over LiLo moving next door to Sam in Venice, Calif., which caused a minor uproar earlier this week.

Reports say Lindsay Lohan, who just got out of rehab and "had no idea" she was moving in to the condo directly next door to her ex, apologized to Samantha Ronson for it.

Sam not only bought it, they left things on good terms. Go figure!

CLOSE QUARTERS: Seriously. This is how close the former lovers are living to each other, which Linds says is total coincidence. [Photo: Pacific Coast News]

 Samantha Ronson to Lindsay Lohan: Welcome!

Lindsay Lohan, who just leased the place, is expected to move in any day now and, "Neither of them are mad at each other and everything has been cleared up."

We imagine she'll sing a different tune if she wakes up at 4 a.m. to the sound of Lindsay Lohan drunk and hooking up, but we're glad it's all good for now. (THG)

Lindsay Lohan took a little time off from worrying about Samantha Ronson and grabbed some sushi with her new assistant. The actress was photographed wearing the heart-shaped 10 carat diamond Rosette necklace given to her by designer Pascal Mouawad yesterday afternoon in Los Feliz, California. That necklace is valued at $25,000! Holy Smokes!

Britney Spears Was Inspiration For Gwyneth Paltrow For ‘Country Strong’

 Britney Spears Was Inspiration For Gwyneth Paltrow For ‘Country Strong’

Something tells me Britney Spears will take this story about as well as Lindsay Lohan took Gwyneth Paltrow’s mocking of her on ‘Glee.’ Anyway, according to Fox News’ Pop Tarts, Gwyneth’s character was partly inspired by Britney’s very public problems for Gwyneth’s character’s comeback in her new movie, ‘Country Strong.’

“You see a lot of these themes in real life, while I was writing the script a lot of those things that were happening with Britney Spears were very public,” writer/director Shana Feste revealed to FOX411’s Pop Tarts. “She was shaving her head, and I saw how fixated we are as a society in building people up to see their downfall and then the pleasure we take in building them up again.

Gwyneth herself said that she turned to her friend, singer Beyonce, for advice about performing.

“I picked the brains of my girl singer friends more.  I obsessively watched Beyonce perform, she is ‘it’ in terms of a performer – if I could just get a little bit of that abandon she has on stage, that’s what I was really focusing on,” Paltrow explained.

And actually, Gwyneth’s public persona is so different from Britney’s that the film studio president initially balked at the thought of Gwyneth taking the part!

“He thought everyone was so crazy because I was so wrong,” she said. ‘When you think ‘country superstar drink addict’ maybe you don’t think of me, but it’s in there… I haven’t been macrobiotic for a long time now, drinking country singer is much closer to the real me!”

OK, Gwyneth. Something tells me there’s a BIG difference between eating a macrobiotic diet and alcoholism- LOL.

Are you looking forward to seeing Gwyneth in ‘Country Strong‘?

Lindsay Lohan Doesn’t Want To Be Too Close To Samantha Ronson

 Lindsay Lohan Doesn’t Want To Be Too Close To Samantha Ronson

I thought I’d heard reports that Lindsay Lohan’s ex-girlfriend, Samantha Ronson, visited the actress while she was in rehab. However, it looks like the two aren’t that close. Lindsay may have just moved into the building next to Samantha’s condo, but she wants her space, according to Radar Online.

Lindsay Lohan wants to build a fence so new neighbor and ex-lover Sam Ronson can’t “spy or see” what’s going on inside her rehabbed actress’ beachside home, RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned.

How could Lindsay Lohan have NOT known that before renting the place? Samantha doesn’t sound too happy about her new neighbor, either.

“Trust me, it wasn’t planned,” Ronson fumed to paparazzi.

So Lindsay Lohan reportedly plans to build a fence between the two properties.

“It will give both of them some space and privacy,” one source close to Lindsay told RadarOnline.com, “and it will ensure neither of them can see or spy on each other!”

Judging from the picture of the buildings (you can see it here), I’m guessing that’s not going to be an easy thing to get approved, but I guess it’s the effort that counts. Given the other pressures Lindsay Lohan is facing, this isn’t a big deal.

Lindsay Lohan Swears: I Was Clean!

Contrary to the allegations of former Betty Ford staffer Dawn Holland, Lindsay Lohan says she was stone cold sober the night of their fight in rehab.

According to Lohan's camp, she met a friend at the Viceroy Hotel in Palm Springs, Calif., on December 11 to get her hair done. That's her excuse.

While there, sources say Lindsay Lohan knocked back Shirley Temples - the famous non-alcoholic mixed drink - along with an order of fries. That's it.

 Lindsay Lohan Swears: I Was Clean!

Sources claim Lindsay eventually headed back to her sober house, completely sober, at around 1 a.m., and that's when Holland confronted her.

Holland claims she smelled alcohol on Lindsay Lohan, who was reportedly out past curfew, and that the train wreck refused to take a breathalyzer.

Lohan claims she asked for the test in an attempt to prove her sobriety but was denied it by Holland, who she says has "had it out" for her.

The details vary depending on who you believe, but it got physical.

Holland alleges Lohan hurt her bad enough for her to go on workers' comp. Lindsay says Holland came at her first, but admits she pushed back.

Lohan was quick to play the victim card in the wake of the incident, which resulted in a call to the police and a battery complaint by the staffer.

The chemical dependency technician was fired by Betty Ford for talking to TMZ about this, and by doing so, may have even broken the law.

Lohan faces a possible police inquiry if officials believe she may have violated her probation in any way during her latest ridiculous incident.

Lindsay Lohan Accuser Pulls a Complete 180

The fired Betty Ford staff member who accused Lindsay Lohan of battery in a recent altercation now says she will drop her criminal complaint.

Not only that, Dawn Holland's attorney says she will not even cooperate with the authorities in any inquiry into the troubled starlet's behavior.

She says Lindsay should absolutely not be prosecuted.

That top has to be a violation of some kind, however.

 Lindsay Lohan Accuser Pulls a Complete 180

Holland, who was fired after revealing potentially confidential info to TMZ, had said initially that Lindsay's attack put her on worker's comp.

Holland's lawyer, Keith Davidson, says she won't press charges, "nor will she be assisting any further in the investigation or prosecution."

Asked how his client would respond if she's subpoenaed, Davidson replied, "She won't." Basically, no witness equals no case against LiLo.

Both recovering addicts, Dawn says she and Lindsay share a bond, and regardless of whether she was clean that night, wants to move on.

Davidson says Dawn does not want "in any way shape or form to do anything that would violated Lindsay's probation or cause an arrest."

"A crime has quite simply not been committed by Ms. Lohan."

Well, Lindsay Lohan must be breathing easier as she gets ready for Christmas. The former Betty Ford Center worker, Dawn Holland, who wanted to press charges for criminal battery, has changed her mind and now refuses to cooperate with any criminal investigation, according to her attorney.

Dawn Holland, who told TMZ earlier this week how Lindsay ripped a phone from her hand causing a severe sprain, now says Lindsay should not be prosecuted.

Holland’s lawyer, Keith Davidson, tells TMZ, “Dawn will not continue to press charges against Lindsay, nor will she be assisting any further in the investigation or prosecution.”
And this is interesting … we asked Davidson how his client would respond if she’s subpoenaed, and he said, “She won’t.”

Davidson says Holland and Lindsay share a common bond — they’re both recovering addicts, Holland does not want “in any way shape or form to do anything that would violated Lindsay’s probation or cause an arrest.”

Davidson says, “A crime has quite simply not been committed by Ms. Lohan.”

Hmmm… wonder what led to the about-face? Well, it did sound like a scuffle that got out of hand.

Breaking News: Lindsay Lohan Facing Criminal Battery Charges?

 Breaking News: Lindsay Lohan Facing Criminal Battery Charges?

Earlier this morning I told you about how Lindsay Lohan had been moved partly due to a run-in with one of the Betty Ford staffers. Turns out that “run-in” resulted in a call to the police for “hand-to-hand battery,” according to TMZ. And the staffer wants Lindsay charged with criminal battery.
Apparently the confrontation occurred after Lindsay returned to the center 10 minutes after her curfew.

Lindsay claims when she walked into the BFC — a female staff member was “unfairly” scolding her about the situation  … and demanded the actress take a drug/alcohol test. We’re told it was during the heated exchange that the woman “put her hands on Lindsay.”

Lindsay claims she told the woman, “Take your hands off of me” and then “pushed back.” 

As we previously reported, local police received a call at 1:03 AM for “hand-to-hand battery” — and LiLo was named as a suspect. The staffer wants LiLo prosecuted for criminal battery. 

We’re told Lindsay feels the staffer has had it out for her for a while … and with LiLo reaching the end of her stay at the clinic, the actress believes the staffer was looking for a final confrontation.

If things were bad enough that the police were called, then that’s NOT a good sign. Whether the staffer had it in for Lindsay or not, if Lindsay hadn’t gotten physically aggressive, things wouldn’t have escalated. {Sigh}

Lindsay Lohan: 100 Days Sober

 

 Lindsay Lohan: 100 Days Sober

Now THIS is something to celebrate! Lindsay Lohan - who is currently staying at the Betty Ford rehabilitation facility – has made the 100 day mark of sobriety! Guess that root beer is really working.

The ‘Machete’ actress has been clean for 100 days and her parents are thrilled for their little girl. Michael Lohan told RadarOnline.com:

“I hope she has a decade more.”

Lindsay must continue undergoing rehabilitation until January 3rd as part of her court order from Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Elden Fox. That gives her just a few more weeks in treatment.
