LINDSAY LOHAN HEADED TO REHAB FOR 90 DAYS

Lindsay Lohan has accepted a plea deal in a misdemeanour car crash case that includes 90 days in a rehabilitation facility.

The actress pleaded no contest Monday to reckless driving, lying to police and obstructing officers who were investigating the accident involving the actress in June.

A judge says Lohan will be sentenced to 90 days in rehab, 30 days of community labour and 18 months of psychological therapy.

The Liz & Dick star was on probation when her sports car crashed on Pacific Coast Highway while on her way to a film shoot.

The deal followed over two hours of talks behind closed doors in the judge's chambers between her legal team and prosecutors.Read on after the cut.

A mandatory sentence of five days in jail will be included in her rehab stay, which she will be able to complete in her native New York.

She was also found in violation of her probation in a 2011 necklace theft and sentenced to 180 days in jail. However, she will be able to avoid jail time if she complies with the conditions of her plea deal

Lohan was also ordered not to have any contact with drug users and must submit to regular drug testing.

Before the Meal Girls actress left the courtroom, Superior Judge Superior Court Judge James R. Dabney offered her a suggestion.

'Don't drive,' he said.

Nodding as the judge reviewed the terms of her probation, Lohan appeared tired after jetting to the courtroom following a last-minute flight from Los Angeles. 

She arrived 48 minutes late to the hearing after taking a private flight after deplaning a commercial jet earlier Sunday amid concerns of a 'fuel leak'.
In the mad dash to avoid a bench warrant being issued for her arrest, she appeared to have time to make a quick change. Last seen wearing all black in New York, she arrived to the courthouse in a white and rose coloured blouse, sheer white skinny pants and grey heels.

She shielded her eyes with round sunglasses as she was escorted inside amid a flurry of reporters.

Despite the entourage a bystander managed to maneuver through the crowd to throw gold glitter confetti on the star as she made her way in.

According to the New York Daily News, Lohan's lawyer at one point leaned into the actress and indicated he hoped the hearing would end promptly.

'And then you can go surfing,' he is quoted as saying, inspiring a laugh from the star.
