Big Money Rehab for Lindsay Lohan's Rehab Facility

The race to get ready for Lindsay Lohan is on, as the rehab facility she will check into undergoes its own major rehabilitation -- one that cost nearly a quarter of a million dollars, we're told.

As TMZ first reported, Lindsay will get her court appointed 90-day treatment at a center based in Newport Beach, CA -- although we've learned she will actually be at a satellite compound in nearby Costa Mesa.

According to well placed sources, administrators are putting the finishing touches on a roughly $220,000 remodel, and from what we've been told ... Lindsay will be living in the lap of luxury. Checkout the baller list of refurbished items:
- brand new hardwood floors
- repainted walls in light gray
- freshly tiled private bathroom
- new walk-in closet
- remodeled kitchen area complete with granite counter tops

Sources tell us LiLo will share her plush surroundings with three female roommates.

Lindsay is expected to leave Lynwood Correctional Facility some time this weekend -- and check into rehab almost immediately.

Lindsay Lohan getting 250 letters a day in jail

Lindsay Lohan is getting 250 letters a day behind bars.

The Mean Girls star has been overwhelmed by notes from fans.

But she is only allowed to get 10 at a time - so she will have plenty of reading material when she is released from the women's jail in Lynwood, California.

'You only get 10 letters at any one time, and deliveries are only once or twice a day,' spokesman Steve Whitmore said.

'Most inmates don't get anywhere near that kind of mail. It will be given to her or an associate when she leaves.'

She must return her letters to get new ones.

The 24-year-old actress is serving a 90-day sentence for violating probation on her 2007 drunk-driving arrest but she is expected to walk free early next week.

Lindsay Lohan's rehab is in Newport Beach

Sources close to Lindsay Lohan are reporting that the actress will be doing her 90 day stint in rehab down in Newport Beach, CA.

She'll apparently have to check in to the facility, which specializes in alcohol and opiate detox, within 24 hours after leaving jail.

Inmate: Lindsay Lohan Was Crying When She Was Brought In

Alexis Neiers, star of E!Online's reality show 'Wild Things,' was just recently released from Century Regional Correctional Facility--and her jailhouse next-door neighbor was none other than Lindsay Lohan. And in an interview with E!News, Neiers, 19, discusses Lindsay's first day in the slammer, what the actress was wearing and what jail is really like.

"I wish her the best, honestly, but you know, it's all up to your mindset, and I don't know what her mindset is in there," says Neiers, who was there doing jail time for robbing Orlando Bloom's house.

More excerpts of the interview after the jump.

On Lindsay's first day:
"She was crying. She was talking to deputies and, you know, just trying to--I couldn't really like make it out, but from what I saw the first day, I mean, she was lying in there and just trying to like calm down."

Lindsay Lohan had a lot of "visitors"

Lindsay Lohan doesn't have to worry about loneliness while she's at Lynwood Correctional Facility -- because TMZ has learned she's had a steady stream of visitors who aren't family or friends.

Besides her attorney, Shawn Chapman Holley, we're told Lindsay also spent some time with her probation officer over the weekend, and several other "professionals" connected to her case have come by as well.

LiLo burned up her weekly allotted time for personal visits, so it's professionals or nothing for her until tomorrow -- her one week anniversary of being in the hole.

By the way, Lindsay never got a copy of "The Old Man and the Sea" -- the book she desperately wanted to read during her stay in jail.

Eh, wouldn't have taken up more than a few hours anyway.

'Free Lindsay' Rally to Hit NYC Tomorrow

Tomorrow, here in NYC, fans of Lindsay Lohan are supposed to (it's hard to find definitive proof on the matter at this time, other than an email we received) attend a "Free Lindsay" rally tomorrow to support the "troubled starlet." It will be hosted by James Oliver of Beach Bum Tanning Salon, who is primarily responsible for keeping the Lohan family so well sunned. The ceremony will begin with a press conference, and a ribbon will be tied around a building on 7th avenue that will say, "We love you Lindsay! Come home soon." How's that for ripping off the work of Christo and Jean-Claude so elegantly?



Beach Bum also held a similar event for Paris Hilton when she spent part of 2007 in jail for a DUI sentence, but this one is bound to be more relevant because nobody really cares about Paris Hilton anymore. The Beach Bums hope their "campaign" will "draw awareness to the harsh punishment inflicted on Lohan due to her celebrity status and that she will be released from jail before her 90 day sentence reaches completion." We already know that she will, in fact, most likely be released early because she's not a child rapist or a mother murderer. Lucky her, right?

In any case, if you somehow find out where/when it's supposed to be because your mother doesn't monitor your internet usage anymore, please consider not going because you'll impede a bunch of corporate types from getting their lunches. And they're the only ones who have more rage than a group of Lohan fans.

Guess who visited Lindsay Lohan this weekend?

HER LAWYER!

According to TMZ, Shawn Chapman Holley visited Lindsay for the second time this week! If things go well, then there's no third time!

Lindsay Lohan's new tattoo!

According to TMZ, Lindsay Lohan had started to get some ink done before she got locked up but she didn't have time to finish the design ... because of that whole jail thing.

At first glance, it appears to be a bruise on LiLo's upper left arm -- but the mark is actually the tattooed outline of a little girl with her eyes closed.

We're told Lohan first went under the needle at the Shamrock Social Club tattoo parlor in Hollywood just a few weeks ago -- and ironically chose the image because "she liked the innocence of the girl."

Lindsay Lohan's Lonely Weekend Behind Bars

Getting settled into her temporary digs at the Century Regional Detention Facility, Lindsay Lohan is lined up for quite the lonely weekend behind bars.

Having been taken into custody on Tuesday morning (July 20), the "Mean Girls" starlet has already used up her allotted visits for the week - as her mother, Dina, and former girlfriend, Samantha Ronson, came to see her over the past few days.

Talking about jail protocol, Steve Whitmore told press, "Inmates are allowed two 30 minute visits a week, from family and friends. Those don't include professional visits by attorneys. Ms. Lohan already has had her two thirty minute visits for the week."

And while inmates are usually required to have their visitors show up on weekends, LiLo got the weekday treatment over jail safety concerns.

Whitmore tells, "Ms. Lohan was allowed the visits during the week for security reasons."

As for her upcoming outlook, the latest reports tell that Lindsay will most likely be released in early August before being let loose for the probation department to keep tabs on.

Lindsay Lohan fans travel far and wide for court hearing

As Lindsay Lohan's arms were handcuffed behind her back Tuesday morning in a Beverly Hills courtroom, her father, Michael Lohan, shouted, "We love you Lindsay!" before she was escorted away to begin her jail sentence.

Outside the courthouse, fan Joe Gasmann, 27, wearing a hand-lettered, pink "Free Lindsay" shirt and holding a sign with the same slogan, said he drove four days from Grand Rapids, Mich., to be at the courthouse.

He was excited to have caught a brief glimpse of the actress as she entered the courthouse.

"It's Lindsay Lohan -- she's the greatest actress," he said. "I think this is a serious injustice."

Moments earlier, Lohan had walked into the courthouse, wearing sunglasses and flanked by an entourage.

Earlier, Joe Bialer, 87, and his caretaker, Ryan Espino, 35, who live a block from the courthouse, were out for their regular morning walk when they came across the scene with dozens of photographers lining the walkway.

"I like her movies when she was a child," Espino said.

A handful of spectators came out for the actress, including a group of French tourists and Lohan supporter Jake Byrd, who was wearing a hat reading, "I (heart) celebrities" and a shirt with Lohan's face and the slogan "Linnocent."
"I'm here because she doesn't have the voice to speak for herself," he said.

After Lohan's court appearance, a couple of unmarked cars pulled up to the side of the courthouse to take her to jail. Paparazzi crowded around the vehicles to snap pictures through the tinted windows.

Neyo on Lindsay Lohan's 3rd album!

Ne-Yo has cast doubt on Lindsay Lohan's pop return after the actress/singer abandoned plans to record more songs with the R&B hitmaker. The "Miss Independent" singer worked with Lohan in 2008 on her single "Bossy" and made arrangements to head back into the studio to record more music together for her forthcoming third album.

But Ne-Yo has not heard from Lohan since and he's not sure he ever will. He tells PopTart, "We were doing some stuff and then it just fell off and hasn't got back on. I'm not gonna hold my breath."

However, the smooth star is refusing to give up on the project altogether and has called on Lohan to get in touch when she's "ready". He adds, "Lindsay, when you're ready to get it in (finish their collaborations), give me a call."

Lohan announced plans for her next album, tentatively titled "Spirit in the Dark", in 2007 after signing with Universal Motown but the project has no expected release date.
