With four days to complete 4 courses for a court-ordered DUI program, industry heavyweights were perplexed to hear that the troubled film star jetted off to the Cannes Film Festival to bask in the glare of the spotlight (if only for an hour or two).
"She's cutting it short," one legal eagle opined to a night-time tabloid gossip show.
Apparently, the Judge presiding over Linday's DUI case, isn't expected to be lenient if the terms and conditions of her court order aren't met by Thursday, May 20th (2010).
The female bench-warmer is a hanging judge, after all.
Some speculate that with her career in the dumper - and the opportunity to inhabit the juicy role of porn star Linda Lovelace in the offing - it is of the utmost importance for the actress to teeter down the red carpet arm-in-arm with the powerful elite in a last gasp effort to salvage her sagging career (among other things).
In an on-the-fly interview with a reporter in a taxi bound for the airport, Ms. Lohan - though husky-voiced - was coherent and optimistic about her future.
"The DUI classes are going well," she insisted in spite of allegations to the contrary.
But, to be fair, let's give Lindsay some credit where it is due.
Court hearings - and the mind-numbing pressure they exert on an individual pending their resolution - are enough to drive a soul to booze it up or pop pills alone.
By Thursday afternoon, Lindsay will undoubtedly be clued in as to whether the pressure cooker she's in will simmer down or explode in her face for failing to tend the broth more diligently.
Linda Lovelace
Producer Tip
A suite I once rented in a quaint spanish-style apartment house in WeHo @ 1236 1/2 North Harper (known for its architectural excellence) has a claim to fame - namely - that Linda Lovelace once resided there.
Other apartments in the same building were also rented over the years by such notables as James Dean and Katherine Hepburn.
Go figure.
Mine would have to be the one rented by a porn star, eh?
