Don’t Worry Linds, you Look Great in Orange Well, the American judicial system has finally pulled it together and is sending the acclaimed actress Lindsay Lohan to jail.  In other words, she went from being surrounded by mean girls like Amanda Seyfried, Rachel McAdams and Lacy Chabert to ladies that have a slightly more cantankerous streak to them.  Sure, writing a burn book or complementing someone’s bracelet when you don’t mean it is really not very nice, but something tells me LiLo’s new roommates are going to be even nastier.  But have no fear, a lot of celebrities bounce back after a scandal – and some even gain more fame and a bigger fan base following their stints in the slammer.  Both Robert Downey Jr. and Charlie Sheen have seen their fair share of courtrooms, and Hugh Grant blew his whole cutie pie, mumbling British lad persona when he got caught picking up a new lady friend on Sunset Strip.  Even Charlie Chapin faced old-school-scrutiny when he was slapped with a paternity suit and forced to pay 75 dollars a week to a kid that turned out to not even be his.  Whoops!  He also got married four times, but who’s counting.  Then there is Woody Allen who met his wife in an unorthodox way.  No, not online dating… I mean if Martha Stewart can come out of the big house thinner and wrapped in an adorable homemade shawl, then anyone can do it!  So hang in there Linds, I’m sure it is only a matter of time (90 days to be exact) before your career is back on the up and up. What other celebrities have faced a scandal and come out on top?  Leave a comment and let me know. L.T.

Well, the American judicial system has finally pulled it together and is sending the acclaimed actress Lindsay Lohan to jail.  In other words, she went from being surrounded by mean girls like Amanda Seyfried, Rachel McAdams and Lacy Chabert to ladies that have a slightly more cantankerous streak to them.  Sure, writing a burn book or complementing someone’s bracelet when you don’t mean it is really not very nice, but something tells me LiLo’s new roommates are going to be even nastier.
