Judge tells Lohan she's no star in his courtroom
2011-02-12
[Arab News] Lindsay Lohan walked into a courtroom to face a felony grand theft charge looking like a million dollars, only to be told by a judge she was no different than anyone else.

Lohan's arraignment on a charge that she stole a $2,500 necklace from an upscale jeweler wasn't the first time a judge threatened to throw the troubled starlet in jail. But it was the first time a judge wielded enough power to keep her locked up for a long time.

"You're in a different situation now that a felony has been filed," Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Keith Schwartz said after the actress pleaded not guilty
"Wudn't me."
. "Everybody else has to follow the law," Schwartz said, noting that he was giving the actress a tamer version of a lecture he'd delivered to her attorney behind closed doors and away from the dozens of assembled news hounds. "You're no different than anyone else. So please, don't push your luck."

Testing the limits -- in the courtroom rather than the big screen -- has been Lohan's calling card in recent months.

#4  I've seen that dress before. Remember the infamous scene with Sharon Stone in Basic Instinct?

You don't suppose...?

#3  from WWTDD:
It was a good idea for her to wear that ridiculously short dress, because nothing says “respect for the court” quite like showing it that you took the time to shave.
