NEW year, new Lindsay Lohan?
That appears to be the hope of Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Elden S. Fox, who on Friday ordered the starlet to remain in rehab until January. In doing so he ended any short-term plans for the actress' comeback, but also followed the recommendations of medical professionals who say the "Mean Girls" star is only beginning to realize the depths of her addiction.
He also slyly removed one potential source of temptation and relapse.
"You're staying past the New Year's - there's a reason for that," Fox said.
Lohan, who was in court for her fifth time since May, cried after hearing the sentence for failing a recent drug test.
The ruling allowed Lohan to avoid a fourth trip to jail, but it wasn't exactly the outcome the actress was hoping for in advance of the hearing.
Lohan's probation report states she told an officer last week that she hoped to be released from the Betty Ford Clinic in Rancho Mirage, California after one month and cited financial worries. She told the officer that "continued inpatient treatment would be a hardship financially, and damaging to her career," according to the report.
The addiction treatment hospital can cost nearly US$50,00 for three months of inpatient treatment, according to its website.
Lohan cited problems with her clothing line and an upcoming role as porn star Linda Lovelace in a biopic as reasons for wanting to get out, the report stated.
The movie, however, will wait for Lohan.
"Inferno" writer-director Matthew Wilder said Lohan's rehab won't interfere with her role and that production was already set to begin in mid-January.
"It looks good and we are not replacing (her)," he said on Friday.
