A California judge issues an arrest warrant for actress Lindsay Lohan

Lindsay Lohan’s week is off to a rough start. Following a weekend full of reports — and her own admission — that she had failed court-mandated drug tests, a California judge has issued a warrant for her arrest, TMZ reports. The bench warrant is on hold until Friday at 8:30 AM, when Lindsay is ordered to appear in court. Lohan, 24, could be sentenced to 30 days behind bars for each of the two failed tests.


Paris Hilton Pleads Guilty to Coke Possession

Man I really can’t believe the way some of these stars get off! Paris was discovered with cocaine in her purse last month while being pulled over, and only has to pay $2,000 in fines, complete 200 hours of community service and complete what is being described as an “intensive” substance abuse program. This is in exchange for her “guilty” plea, which had she not submitted, she would have received a one year jail term. TMZ reported that the judge gave Hilton a one-year suspended sentence in the case, which means that if she is arrested for anything besides a minor traffic violation in Vegas in the next year, she will have to serve the full one-year term. Hilton will also be on probation for one year. In a quote from Paris’s lawyer, he says, “Ms. Hilton understands the seriousness of the situation and appreciates the chance she is being given. She has to stay out of trouble.” Hopefully she won’t take a page out of fellow starlet Lindsay Lohan’s book. We all know how that’s turned out for her…. @MarisaMendez
