So Lindsay Lohan isn’t working at a women’s shelter anymore. And heads up! She isn’t working at the Red Cross anymore, either!
Nope. Stephanie Sautner, the judge overseeing Lohan’s probation case, has ordered the innocent, blameless starlet to work 120 hours at the L.A. County Morgue instead. That’s right—Lindsay’s court-ordered community service has basically turned into a “Scared Straight” program.
According to TMZ, Lohan’s duties at the morgue will likely be, erm, janitorial. And here’s an added wrinkle:
Lindsay’s probation officer wrote that Lindsay had problems with the Women’s Center, because it was “not fulfilling.” One more time—Lindsay complained the Woman’s Center was “NOT FULFILLING.”
I am so, so over this brat. Please. I worked at a women’s shelter right through high school. I wasn’t suffering for my “art.” I wasn’t looking for “fulfillment.” I wasn’t paying due penance for a crime. I was putting glops of mashed potatoes onto plates, because somebody freaking has to. You feel me? Community service isn’t always a heartwarming, inspirational, cinematic experience. It’s hard work. I cannot even imagine quitting work at a shelter because you don’t feel good enough about yourself.
Lohan is due back in court at noon CST today, where prosecutors are expected to argue that she violated the terms of her probation. And though Lohan once again faces jail time, I appreciate Judge Sautner’s frustration: there is no sentence on earth or in heaven that could help Lindsay mend her ways.
