SMACKING THE MESSENGER
Lindsay Lohan’s Future: Hazy With A Chance Of Rehab
By Elizabeth C.
SUDDENLY, LINDSAY LOHAN’S LATEST SKIRMISH REACHES THE LEVEL OF INTERESTING, thanks entirely to the revelation that her latest victim is a fortune teller who specializes in “tarot, palm and psychic energy readings.” Apparently foreseeing wallops isn’t part of her raison d’etre.Tiffany Ava Mitchell, former operator of “Ava’s Psychic Visions,” in Palm Beach, Fla., approached the perennial problem child inside the club Avenue in the wee hours Thursday to offer a free reading. But the “out of control” actress, hyped up after “drinking way too much booze and doing cocaine,” refused the freebie. She then reportedly called Mitchell a “fucking gypsy,” infuriating a friend of the psychic who snapped back that LiLo was a “whore” and, oh by the way, really sucked in Liz & Dick.
Apparently Lindsay let that soak in her booze-sopped brain for a few minutes before returning to deliver a punch. The actress was arrested while trying to leave the area in a car and charged with third degree assault.
“It was a racist comment,” Mitchell’s husband, Wayne Stevens, tells TMZ of the “gypsy” comment. “Just because your career went down the drain and your new movie sucks, you can’t go around beating people up.”
Thursday night’s free-for-all also includes allegations of a second punching victim, a misplaced pocketbook containing $10,000 cash, jealousy over attention from The Wanted‘s Max George, and a falling out between LiLo and her assistant Gavin Doyle. And this is just the latest lawbreaking the actress is accused of. Per ABC/a>:
“So far, Lohan has been imprisoned six times, but has spent less than two weeks behind bars. Last year, she spent 35 days under house arrest after pleading no contest to stealing a $2,500 necklace. She remains on informal probation for that theft, which means she doesn’t have to check in with a judge or probation officer but could face a jail term if arrested.”
Ever dutiful, Lohan lawyer Mark Heller told CNN: “Once again, Lindsay Lohan is a victim of someone trying to capture their fifteen minutes of fame,” Lohan lawyer Mark Heller tells CNN.
But Lindsay’s assistant Gavin Doyle pointed the finger the other way, tweeting, “@lindsaylohan after bailing you out last night I HOPE and PRAY you get the help you so desperately need.” He added later: “Life is NOT a movie it’s a reality that needs to be faced.”
According to RadarOnline, Lohan now realizes that checking into rehab for six months may be the only way she’ll avoid jail this time. A source tells the online tab: “Lindsay’s manager and agent have been telling her for months that she must go to rehab to save her life. Until now she has resisted, but after her arrest this morning she realizes she needs help.”

Wow…it seems so much sadder for some reason that it was a psychic offering to give Lindsay a free reading. The whole story is just all the more…odd and surreal. I think the quote I love best from this article is the term “booze-sopped brain.” Hee hee hee. Love it.
