... well, in comparison to the 90 minutes she served last time. On this occaision, she's been ordered to spend 90 days in the slammer for repeatedly failing to attend her court-ordered alcohol education classes.
For her flouting, she will spend the rest of summer behind bars. That means no Lovelace movie. A blessing, really.
WENN reports: "Judge Marsha Revel ordered Lohan to surrender to court on July 20th, declaring the Mean Girls actress was in violation of her probation on a 2007 DUI arrest for skipping classes. Her alcohol education programme director, Cheryl Marshall, took the stand at the hearing and testified that the actress had failed to attend nine court-ordered classes. Marshall told the Los Angeles court Lohan came up with excuses that were 'endless and disrespectful.'"
Lest we forget, the excuses Lohan repeatedly gave for not attending classes ranged from missing flights to "promoting a clothing line"... either the leggings one or the French one, who knows. Marshall said Lohan also called to excuse herself, claiming her uncle had died and she had to fly to New York - the week before she flew to the Cannes Film Festival in May, whereupon a petite chen mange'd her passport which meant she had to stay there another week.
She had yet another explanation upon hearing her sentence in court yesterday (video content here): "I have tried to do the best I can. I really did think I was doing what I was supposed to do, and I mean it with all my heart."
She then burst into tears. Whether it was instigated by the 90-day stint, or the 90-day residential substance abuse programme she has to undertake once she has completed her jail term, is unclear.
In closing, Judge Marsha Revel said: "I couldn't have been more clear, and it wasn't done. It is like someone who doesn't think it's cheating unless she gets caught."
In other words, one can only get away with bountiful fecklessness for so long.
Cue Michael Lohan's inevitable press conference, string of lucrative interviews. etc.
