According to a relative of an inmate housed at the same facility as Lindsay Lohan, prisoners in Lohan’s unit are already tired of her presence, due to the fact that the entire unit has to go into lockdown whenever she needs anything: “All the inmates are sick of Lindsay. It’s almost like Lindsay Lohan’s here, but she’s not. Like if she even moves, they put the whole facility on lockdown. It happens all the time. For example, just yesterday [Friday], Lindsay had to go to the mini-clinic, and the whole place was on lockdown again.” [People]
Which might explain why inmates reportedly started teasing her: “Some of the inmates in our ward, some of the tougher ones, were yelling ‘fire crotch’ at her,” says one recently released prisoner, “They just started chanting it at her. Lindsay didn’t say nothing. She was crying though.” [NYDN]

It’s not only disgusting, it’s a toxic health hazard. They really tried to hang in there.” [DailyMail]
Mischa Barton says she’s doing well: “I’m being healthy and working hard. I have had lots of offers coming in and as well as reading through scripts, I’m also designing my own range of bags. I love England and I’ve been desperate to get here to see my friends and my boyfriend, but it’s been hard with the stuff going on in the States. I’m avoiding drinking, which is a shame as there’s nothing better than a glass of delicious English Pimm’s.” [ContactMusic]

“Just don’t Google yourself; it’s evil. It’s mean. You just don’t read the internet because someone is always going to say something about what you’re doing or how you’re looking that day or whatever. Just be comfortable in your own skin and about what you’re doing.”-Taylor Momsen [ContactMusic]
“I would close down all those teenage magazines that encourage young girls to diet. Who says that to be pretty you have to be thin? Some people look better thin and some don’t. There is almost a standard being created where only thin is acceptable. The influence of those magazines on girls as young as 13 is horrific.”-Penelope Cruz [DailyMail]
