The 'Mean Girls' actress has tested negative for alcohol according to Attorney Shawn Chapman Holley who tells E! Online, after Lohan's SCRAM bracelet set off an alarm at the MTV Movie Awards afterpary on June 7.
According to an unnamed source, The 23-year-old actress took a urine test, in which results show that there was no alcohol in her system at that time.
The troubled star, who is required to undergo weekly random drug testing, and in not allowed to consume alcohol, has a $200,000 bail keeping her out of the slammer. The figure was doubled during her appearance in court on June 8 following the SCRAM incident.
It remains unclear still, what exactly set off the device, but the alert was definitely an "alcohol related violation," according to a DA office official.
Lohan's mother even assumed that someone spilled a drink on the device, which the actress wears on her ankle, further denying that her daughter had tampered with the bracelet.
Up to now, the star refuses to tackle on the SCRAM subject, and also refrained from speaking about her recent woes. This silence of hers would soon be broken in an exclusive interview with Star magazine.
Says Lohan, "Enough is enough. People should just let me leave me alone and let me live."
Trust me, Lindsay. You'll probably have great grandkids before that wish of yours gets granted.
Ron Artest: The key to Lakers 16th NBA title!
While everybody else had the weight of the world in this epic rematch of legends in game 7, main man Ron Artest was a calming force, and was a key ingredient to Lakers 83-79 win over the Celtics, and another ring.
Artest, who was a late recruit from the Rockets in the offseason, and also known to have been involved in a scuffle with Kobe Bryant in the past, earns his place in the history of the Lakers.
You wouldn't miss the bulky forward, because he was everywhere on the court, contributing 20 points, five rebounds and five steals, besides making one crucial play after another to bail his team out of danger.
And Kobe, once again earning another Finals MVP, despite shooting poorly from the field, deserves to share the honor with Artest who kept his team within striking distance of the opposition, limiting Paul Pierce to just 18 points and hustled from both ends of the court.
His memorable moment came when he converted on a three point play, making a shot from 6 feet in the paint, while being fouled by Pierce to tie the score at 61-61, after they trailed the Celtics for much of the game. But it was Artest's 3-pointer that would seal it for the Lakers, giving them a 79-73 lead with a minute left in the game.
Says Lakers teammate Luke Walton, "There's no one on the team we root more for and are as happy for than Ron. He's worked so hard and sacrificed so much and we all want to see him do well."
When asked about the toughness he brought to the Lakers, he credits his father who molded him into what he is right now.
"When you talk about tough Ron, that's my dad," Artest says.
And 'tough Ron' also thanked his psychologist who taught him to stay focused and relaxed, which was evident all throughout the game. In fact, when he took that huge three pointer, he just settled in and just trusted in himself.
Being a Bulls fan in the Michael Jordan era, Artest kind of reminded me of Dennis Rodman in a way. Here's a toast to the champs!
