LOS ANGELES - TROUBLED Hollywood starlet Lindsay Lohan sobbed and pleaded in court but a judge still slapped her with 90 days in jail for violating probation in two 2007 drunken driving cases. The actress, 24, also was ordered Tuesday to participate in a 90-day in-patient substance abuse program.
'I'm not taking this as a joke and this is my life. This is my career and everything I've worked for for my whole life,' Lohan pleaded with Beverly Hills superior court Judge Marsha Revel. 'If I had known I had to be here every week, I would've balanced it - work and everything.... It's just been such a long haul.' The judge however would have none of it.

Revel announced: 'the court doesn't buy that this time'. Once a promising young A-list actress whose career since has spun off course, Lohan has been known to audiences for years.
After working as a child model, the freckle-faced redhead earned big breaks to become a Disney star in movies like Freaky Friday, the remake of the kids' classic Parent Trap, and Herbie Fully Loaded. Lohan wowed fellow actors and many critics, swiftly acting her way up the Hollywood food chain to A-list work with the likes of Oscar-winners Meryl Streep in Prairie Home Companion and Jane Fonda in Georgia Rule. She is currently working on a film about porn star Linda Lovelace. -- AFP.
