Lindsay Lohan hires O.J. Simpson lawyer Robert Shapiro as her attorney

Tags: , Movies

Lindsay Lohan has tapped celebrity attorney Robert Shapiro—one of the defense attorneys for O.J. Simpson at his 1995 murder trial—to serve as a member of her legal team, reports People. Shapiro, who founded the sober living house that Lohan checked into earlier this week, told the magazine that he agreed to represent her ”on the condition she comply with the terms of probation, including a requirement of jail, imposed by Judge Marsha Revel.” On July 6, the troubled actress was sentenced to 90 days in jail for violating her probation.

    Kind of old news isn’t it?

  • jpratm

    Wow ur and idiot.

    • info

      I least I can spell you are an idiot.

  • jenn

    hahaha. Let me introduce you. Pot, meet kettle. You’re both black.

    • Jon

      Racist

      • Natalie

        Sexist.

  • Brad

    Where to begin here…. jpratm, you sound like an idiot because you can’t spell to save your life. Info, you’re an idiot because your retort to jpratm was a run-on sentence with incorrect grammar. Finally, jenn, you’re an idiot for using an antiquated and racist saying. Surprise, you’re all idiots !!

      Brad – Actually, the phrase “The pot calling the kettle black” is not racist, though I can see how that could be misconstrued. The expression dates from a time where most cookware was made of cast iron, which would eventually turn black from the heat of the stove or fire, and it simply refers to one person accusing another of behavior that they exhibit themselves. You might want to check your facts before calling people idiots.

      • Jon

        stop being racist

  • Spaz Devil

    Commenting at it’s finest…… UGG

  • Allysa

    The pot calling the kettle “black” is used as a perjorative. So, clearly even idiots like Jackie can Google stuff and yet be completely oblivious to having any understanding of context at all.

    • Jackie

      Allysa – FYI, this “idiot” knew what the phrase meant without the assistance of Google. Also, you might not want to go calling other people idiots. The word is “pejorative”, no “r” (don’t believe me, check a dictionary). And you might want to clarify which context you’re talking about. I believe jenn’s use of the phrase refers to info and jpratm calling each other idiots.

    Jackie is right. Allysa and Brad, any saying with the word “Black” in it refers to black people? Really?!! ‘scuse me, I have to run and return my copies of “Back in Black (people)”, “Paint it Black (people)”, “Fade to Black (people)”, “Black (people) Beauty”.

    Oh, and “The Black Stallion”… I thought it was about a horse, but turns out it’s about Taye Diggs.

    • Jackie

      Mmmm, Taye Diggs…

      • Well, yeah

        I’d ride him.

    • john

      doesn’t anyone care about lilo – that is why we are here…if the drugs and alcohol use is not real – then you must appeal…….

  • Anonymoose

    I think Lindsay Lohan using a cast iron kettle to make drugs.

  • D

    Wow. How quickly the comments on Lindsay Lohan’s legal troubles devolve into cheap name-calling and pointless bickering. I’m astounded! This is serious business, people!

  • Buffy Freak

    If the alcohol-monitoring bracelet doesn’t fit, you must acquit. (Yes I know Johnny Cochran actually said it but…)

    • A.F. for EW

      Good one Buffy! I wish I had thought of that one!

  • arial

    Mr. Shapiro has now commented on Lindsay’s drug/alcohol problems as her having a disease. That’s true, but I’d be a lot more moved if LL ever made any comment indicating she believes she has a problem. You can’t begin to recover until you truly believe you have a “disease” from which to recover. I think this is the basis of her judge’s skepticism, even beyond LL’s actions.

  • A.F. for EW

    Lindsay Lohan and Robert Shapiro. Talk about a match made in the lowest circle of hell! LOL!

  • Bill from Las Vegas

    Lohan should get an extra five years in the slammer for hiring that bottom feeder!!!!!!

  • player87

    Lindsay used to be very pretty, young and wholesome looking. Now she looks like an old hag – what has she done to her lips? She has Meg Ryan-itis!!

  • player87

    Lindsay can just stick her lip out the window of her car if she wants to make a left turn.
