What a system! I'm sorry but I believe there is something wrong with the law over in LA.
Even though I am a fan of both Lindsay and Nicole, I am dissapointed at the sentences they recieved for their misbehaviour.
Richie's legal team were smart. With the papparazzi covering the Lindsay Lohan trial who earlier pleaded no contest to seven charges of cocaine possession and drink-driving, Nicole checked in to Lynwood jail and served - only 35 minutes of her 4 day jail sentence!
The Simple life star, who is pregnant to Joel Madden was arrested in December, for driving the wrong way on a LA highway while under the influence of vidocin and marijuana. Since, the sentence, Richie has had several interviews, including OK! and Dianne Sawyer and admits her wrong doings.
The problem I have with this is- this is not Nicole's first conviction. To be handed a flimsy four day sentence for drug use and endangering other peoples lives i think is unacceptable. Her so called best friend, Miss Paris Hilton was sentenced to twenty one days for a similar offence!! And unlike Ms Richie, Ms Hilton did her time!
Now on to Lindsay, another notorious party girl, who also had an interview with OK! attended court.
Lohan will serve one day in jail, 10 days community service and three years of probation. She must serve her time before January 18. By Lohan admitting she is guilty of the charges, she avoided a heavier penalty.
"It is clear to me that my life has become completely unmanageable because I am addicted to alcohol and drugs. Recently I relapsed and did things for which I am ashamed. I broke the law, and today I took responsibility," Lohan admitted today.
The actress, who has been in movies such as Mean Girls and Georgie Rule is now in a rehab clinic in Utah ( her third rehab stint this year so far), was arrested in May after wrecking her car in Beverly Hills - and again in July following a car chase.
In both cases she was busted with cocaine, but the amounts were below the .05g required for more serious felony charges of drug possession.
This makes me question rehab! Obviously stars go there to save their career, but do they really want to get better. And do rehab centres such as Promises, really help celebrities.
My thoughts on rehab will be in a future post.
