Lindsay Lohan ordered to undergo outpatient rehab program

Categories:

Though Lindsay Lohan checked out of rehab early Tuesday evening, a Los Angeles Superior Court judge ruled today that the actress receive outpatient care. Judge Elden S. Fox’s order requires that Lohan undergo psychotherapy, counseling for addiction, and random drug and alcohol tests at least twice a week. Fox also tossed out two drug counts on the actress’ record — Lohan had pleaded guilty to the charges in 2007 — and ordered that she be taken off supervised probation if she attends all her outpatient sessions and passes all drug tests.

The ruling allows Lohan to continue work promoting and making feature films. (Her upcoming movie, Machete, heads to theaters Sept. 3.) Lohan’s lawyer told the Associated Press that the actress plans to comply with the ruling. “She has changed,” Shawn Chapman Holley told the AP. “She’s healthy. She’s clear-headed. She is positive at looking forward.” Lohan was not present at the hearing.

Wyclef Jean cannot appeal Haiti electoral council ruling, says council lawyer

Categories:

A council lawyer told Reuters that Wyclef Jean cannot appeal a ruling made by Haiti’s electoral council that barred the singer-songwriter from running for president of his homeland. On Friday, the council decided Jean could not be included on the ballot for the Nov. 28 election, due to residency requirements that had not been met. (Jean had not proven he had residency in Haiti for five consecutive years before deciding to run.) Sunday, Jean claimed he planned to appeal the decision. A legal department official in the council, however, told Reuters that Haiti’s electoral law says council decisions are final, and cannot be appealed. “Therefore there is absolutely no possibility for Wyclef Jean to be added to the list of candidates approved to run in the next presidential elections…So it’s over,” Samuel Pierre told Reuters.
