Lindsay Lohan is facing a lien for nearly $94,000 that the federal government says she owes in unpaid taxes.  Records in Los Angeles County show the lien was filed Thursday seeking payment for the 2009 tax year.  Celebrity website TMZ first reported the lien Tuesday, the same day a paparazzo sued the model-actress for being in a car that allegedly struck him in Hollywood in January 2010.

Lohan’s publicist Steve Honig said the starlet’s finances are nobody’s business but her own.  As for photographer Grigor Balyan’s lawsuit seeking unspecified damages against Lohan, Honig says he hasn’t seen the case but accused the paparazzi of invading her privacy daily.  Grigor Balyan filed the lawsuit on Tuesday in LA Superior Court against Lohan and her driver, Paola Demara, along with Management Company Tri Star Sports and Entertainment.  He claims the defendants “so negligently, carelessly, and recklessly operated, maintained, repaired, owned, and controlled their automobile so as to cause an accident which resulted in personal injuries and property damage to Plaintiff.”  Lohan is not the first celebrity to be targeted by paparazzi for injuries. Among the stars previously sued are Pierce Brosnan, Bruce Willis, Woody Harrelson, Denise Richards, Pamela Anderson, Britney Spears, and Chris Brown.

Throughout the years, California has enacted laws to protect celebrities from paparazzi intrusion. In 1998, the state passed legislation that expanded the liability of paparazzi by creating a cause of action against anybody who committed physical trespass or constructive invasion of privacy. That meant that celebrity photographers couldn’t use intrusive lenses to pierce the veil of private residences.  Lindsay Lohan’s representative has vowed the actress will get her accounts in order after she was hit with a tax lien, insisting the star was ‘unaware’ she owes money.  The Mean Girls actress, who recently earned $1 million (£1.5 million) to strip for Playboy, owes the U.S. Internal Revenue Service $93,000 (£58,000) from 2009.  According to the star’s spokesperson, the actress was not aware of the amount she owes as she recently changed her business team, who kept her affairs in check.

Her personal troubles had also reached their peak, breaking up with girlfriend Samantha Ronson, jetting around the world, and showing up late for court. Sources tell Tmz.com that Lohan thought her accountants were handling her taxes and intends to pay the full amount immediately. If anything, the bill has come at a good time for the actress, considering she pocketed a reported $1 million for her recent Playboy shoot. Despite her troubles, it appears Lindsay is treating 2012 as a fresh start, and has allegedly replaced her business team in an attempt to regain the heights of her early career on screen. According to the Los Angeles Times, she stepped out at hotspot Cheateau Marmont on Wednesday evening for a party hosted by the Weinstein Company to celebrate the current awards season.

Lohan remains on probation for a 2007 drunken driving case and a misdemeanor grand theft case filed after she took a $2,500 necklace without permission in January. She has been serving morgue duty to comply with her probation.

After being leaked online, Hugh Hefner has decided to let Playboy readers see Lindsay Lohan’s pictorial issue earlier than scheduled.  The January/February 2012 double issue, which features Lohan emulating her icon Marilyn Monroe’s classic December 1953 Playboy pictorial in a 10-page nude spread, is now available on iPlayboy.  The Lohan Playboy issue will be on newsstands December 16.

The “Mean Girls” actress also gave an in-depth interview with the magazine, talking about her recent legal troubles and what she has learned in the last five years.  According to her, people are ultimately responsible for themselves and their own actions.  Looking back, she probably would have listened to and taken more advice from the people whom she admires and would have followed through with it more.  She explained that her stubbornness at 18 and 19 years old got in the way adding that during the past five years, she has learned that time flies faster than you think and because you only live once you have to learn from your mistakes, live your dreams and be accountable.

As for her sexuality, Lohan said that Sex and sexuality are a part of nature, and she goes along with nature noting that she thinks Marilyn Monroe once said that.  According to her, she certainly agree with her adding that knowing yourself and your body is so important because it gives you confidence, and in life, women need confidence.  Continuing, Lohan said that it is very male-dominated world to begin with so knowing yourself and being comfortable with your body is an important thing for her as a woman.  She claimed that everyone is entitled to his or her opinion but that is hers.

Speaking of opinions, Lohan has received her fair share regarding her various shenanigans this year.  The actress expressed her thought about the attention she has been getting saying that she has no idea why there is this fascination with everything she is doing.  She said she suppose it is all part of this trend of people wanting to know every single detail of celebrity’s life and explaining that once we get to the point where magazines are doing pictorials on her wardrobe to court, that is just so important.

Meanwhile, the hacker who claims he is responsible for leaking Lindsay Lohan’s top-secret Playboy layout said that he did not actually steal the shots; he simply found them on peer-to-peer file sharing websites.  The entire photo spread of LiLo posing nude leaked online Friday.  The pirate, who refused to give his name, told Foxnews.com he tracked the pictures down after they were either hacked or stolen and uploaded to a file-sharing website based in Russia.  The hacker admitted that he just pieced it together once the photos spread to peer-to-peer file sharing sites.  He said that all he cared about is how he got them.

Lohan is currently in Hawaii at the Pipe Masters Surf Contest with her sister.  Lindsay reportedly received $1m to bare all in the Marilyn Monroe-inspired layout.

The troubled actress Lindsay Lohan who served hours behind bars Sunday for violating probation on her Drunken driving and theft charges is doing a playboy photo shoot for the issue of the magazine next month as confirmed by the men’s magazine and Lohan’s spokesman on Monday.  The actress had to do two sets of naked photoshoot for Playboy because Hugh Hefner was not happy with the first batch and was later get contented in the second batch of photos.  According to a source, the pictures of Lindsay taken last week are much better than the first set adding that the final decision gets made by Hef on which pictures go in the magazine.

While Playboy said in a statement that Lindsay Lohan will be featured in Playboy’s January/February issue which hits newsstands in late December, Lohan’s spokesperson said that she had completed a photo shoot and will be on the cover of the magazine.  Spokesman Steve Honig said that the pictorial is absolutely fantastic and very tasteful, and will be accompanied by an interview that will let readers see another side of Lindsay.  Playboy photographer Fritz Barnkopf said that Lindsay was an excellent model.  According to him, all her pictures are completely nude and he thought Playboy readers will be very pleased at the way she opened herself up for the camera.  Playboy executives said that Lindsay was very professional on the set of the photo shoot.  According to them, she showed up on time and had no problem taking off her clothes and pretending that she was making love to the camera.

Speculation about a Playboy photo shoot has captured the media’s attention in recent weeks as Lohan has struggled with her ongoing legal problems.  Sources said that Lohan needs the cash because her legal costs and lack of acting gigs have brought her to the brink of bankruptcy.  Hugh Hefner has come in to save Lindsay’s financial life.  He has paid her to pose for a ten-page spread in his magazine.  In October, celebrity news outlet TMZ.com said Playboy offered Lohan $750,000 to pose, but the actress wanted $1 million. Playboy countered with a deal near that, TMZ said.  Playboy had no comment beyond its one-sentence statement.

25-year-old Lindsay Lohan rose to fame in Disney movies such as “The Parent Trap,” but as an adult her career has foundered.  She has been in and out of legal trouble since a conviction in 2007 for drunk driving and drug use.  Just last week, a judge determined she had violated probation on those charges as well as a separate 2011 charge for stealing a necklace from a jewelry store. The judge sentenced Lohan to 30 days in a Los Angeles jail.  She checked in late Sunday night and, due to overcrowding, was released after spending a little less than five hours at the facility.  The star reportedly told friends that her short stint at the Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood California was cold and scary.

The Playboy spread will not be Lohan’s first nude magazine photos.  She appeared partially naked in New York magazine in 2008 for a piece referencing Marilyn Monroe’s famous 1962 shoot with photographer Bert Stern.  Monroe also famously appeared as a Playboy centerfold.

Lindsay Lohan has been sentenced to serve 30 days in jail with 270 days to stay as long as she complies with her probation conditions.  The decision was given after Lohan admitted she violated her probation in her DUI and necklace-theft cases.  The 25-year-old starlet will be returning to the Lynwood Jail for the fifth time.  When the judge asked her if she was owning up to missing too many community service appointments, Lohan answered yes, your honor during the hearing at the Los Angeles Superior Court Airport Branch.  Lohan must surrender to the women’s jail by November 9 as ordered by Judge Stephanie Sautner.  She was not immediately put behind bars because the judge decided to allow her to complete her nude photo shoot for Playboy.

The star’s lawyer, Shawn Holley, is understood to have told the judge in chambers that her client had a $1 million contract with Hugh Hefner’s publication.  She must complete the shoot this week or face being in breach of her contract and Sautner decided to allow her to surrender.  In the court, the judge imposed an otherwise strict probation regime telling the actress that she is giving her the keys to the jail.  The jail time can be reduced due to overcrowding in Los Angeles jails but Sautner was firm there was to be no house arrest or electronic monitoring.

TMZ reports that she may serve just minutes behind bars.  According to a source within the Sherriff’s department, if someone receives a misdemeanor sentence of 90 days, they are routinely processed in and then released.  When the actress gets out she will have to report to the probation department and Ms. Mansfield.   As well as serving the jail time, the actress must continue her community service at the Los Angeles country morgue.  Judge Sautner said she had made enquiries for Lohan to work at the Good Shepherd shelter for abused families in Los Angeles but they did not want her.  She said that they were unwilling to take her because they do not think she is a good example for women trying to put their lives back together.  However, Sautner said that the Los Angeles morgue where Lohan has already been serving community service was happy to keep the actress on.

Possibly, Lindsay could be in jail on the same day as her father Michael, who is currently in solitary confinement in the infirmary of the Orient Road jail in Florida.  While Lindsay has to surrender to jail on November 9, her father will appear in court on the same day to face a judge on charges stemming from the breach of a restraining order against his former fiancé Kate Major.  It follows allegations he assaulted her – and he could face jail time for allegedly breaching the restraining order and contacting her.
Once Lohan is released, she must walk an extremely thin tightrope, working an additional 53 days of community service at the morgue and attending 18 more psychotherapy sessions, all by the end of next March. If she slips up, she is facing an additional 270 days in jail.  Sautner warned Lohan that if there were any violations, she would issue a warrant for her arrest.  However, if Lohan completes all the above requirements, the threat of 270 days in jail will be removed.

While Lohan was 40 minutes late on her first day of community service at the Los Angeles Country Morgue, Lindsay got off to an early start on Friday (October 21).  The actress arrived in a black Escalade SUV wearing all black including a black hooded sweatshirt and dark sunglasses.  The actress arriving roughly 20 minutes early remained silent as she entered the building and refused to answer questions.  As she arrived at the rear of the morgue, the 25-year-old actress was spotted entering a bungalow adjacent to the main building wherein she was filling out paperwork for her community service orientation.

Lindsay’s representative released a statement saying that Lindsay arrived at the morgue at 5:35 AM this morning for a 7 AM call time. She waited in her car a bit before going in and she was there an hour and a half early.  She was scheduled to work from 7 AM to 3:30 PM with a 30-40 minute lunch break.  The actress attempted to make amends for yesterday’s unlikely situation with the L.A. Country Morgue, not only by showing up early for work but also ordering burgers and cupcakes for the staff.

The actress’ representative said that Lindsay asked her assistant to pick up lunches from the In-N-Out in Huntington Park around 10:30 a.m.  Around 11:00 a.m., her assistant returned with the lunches, brought them into the administrative trailer, and set the food on a table for the volunteers to eat on their break.  Additionally, Lindsay ordered cupcakes for the staff and volunteers.  However, the Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter turned away the sweets.  He said in a statement the there is indeed an attempted delivery of cupcakes, but he turned the delivery person away.  He explained that he had a discussion with Lindsay and she advised that she did not know the person who ordered the cupcakes.  They discussed the issue of those types of incidents and that they would not allow such activity.  He said he thought she got the message.  Winter also denied a report that the morgue’s temporary janitor ordered up In-N-Out for lunch, saying the story wasn’t true and nobody ate In-N-Out that day.

In spite of the contradiction of stories, it is believed that the delivery of lunches was true but Coroner Winter assured that the hamburgers were not distributed to the staff.  The actress’ representative additionally stated that Lindsay ordered cupcakes for the staff and volunteers.  He continued saying that when they were delivered, morgue supervisors would not allow them into the building.  He said it is unfortunate that Lindsay’s well-intentioned actions were not taken in the spirit in which she intended; to say she was sorry for day one’s misunderstanding.
It has been earlier reported that Lindsay’s lateness was due to a combination of not knowing what entrance to go through and confusion caused by the media waiting for her arrival.  Lindsay was then turned away following the incident and was instructed to come back the other day.

Lindsay Lohan Arrived at the L.A. Country Morgue with her $80,000 Porsche Panamera.  Lindsay was spotted at the back entrance talking with morgue staffer who seems to be directing the actress to a different entrance and redirected her to the front of the building.  Lohan arrived at the Country Morgue for her first day of community service 40 minutes late and was later on turned away on Thursday.

Lohan had been told to arrive at 8 a.m. for an orientation session but arrived 40 minutes late, spokesman Craig Harvey (Chief of Operations at Los Angeles County Morgue) said. Reportedly, her assistant called at 7:40 a.m. to say that she would be there in 10 minutes but did not show up until 8:40 a.m. The actress was told to try again on Friday, but will have to arrive at 7 a.m., he said.  The actress’ spokesman said in a statement that the actress was late because she did not know which entrance to report to and confusion caused by the media waiting for her arrival.  Coroner’s officials who turned her away met Lindsay at the door.  The incident was reportedly forwarded to the Probation Department’s Volunteer Center, which supervises Lindsay and is believed to reach to the knowledge of the judge.

The trouble-magnet actress later apologized on Twitter last Monday saying she is sorry for the confusion that she may caused to those at the Coroner’s office.  She promised that it will not happen again since she know now where to go.  She also mentioned that with all the stress and pressure from that incident up to the time that she tweeted this message, she have never been happy to go to therapy.  It is not a violation for Lohan not to show up that time since Judge Stephanie Sautner only required her to put in 16 hours at the morgue by November 2 but it is not becoming of her to do such thing since she is trying to convince the judge that she is complying with her probation.

Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter thinks Lindsay’s latest excuse is just a big crap since she has been to the Coroner’s office before so there is no way she was confused about anything.  Winter added that the Coroner’s office even went out of its way to avoid confusion giving the actress specific step-by-step directions on where to go.

In an interview with FOX 11’s Good Day L.A., Lee Baca (L.A. Country Sheriff) said that Lindsay Lohan will do time behind bars if she will be sentenced next month.  He said that the overcrowding problem will not keep Lindsay out of jail because she is a sick drug addict who needs to beat her demons and if the judge decides to sentence Lindsay for a probation violation he will make sure she serves time.  According to Baca, Lindsay needs at least 60 days in the slammer to be properly rehabilitated.  However, Judge Stephanie Sautner commented on the bench, suggesting that sentencing the actress to jail was futile because it has become a revolving door.

Superior Court Judge Stephanie Sautner revoked Lindsay’s probation on Wednesday (October 19) at 10 a.m. due to numerous violations she committed during her probation and was ordered to appear in court on Friday according to a Los Angeles court spokesperson.  Sautner said that there has been violation after violation and set a hearing for November 2 at which Lohan could receive a sentence of up to year and a half in jail.  Lohan sporting a flowing white Fendi dress with matching scarf tied around her neck on the day of the hearing spent much of the court session shaking her head and was placed in handcuffs while she was being processed in the L.A. Country Sheriff’s Office.  Reportedly, the actress was immediately bailed out for $100,000.

Lohan’s attorney, Shawn Holley said in a statement that dealing with someone on probation; most people do not always do things perfectly.  As to the conditions of her probation, Lohan is supposed to be on a house arrest and must be able to perform 480 hours of community service including working at a Los Angeles Women’s Center and the Los Angeles Country Morgue.  She must also udergo psychological counseling and participates in a shoplifter’s alternative course.  However, Lindsay failed to appear at the Women’s Center on nine different occasions according to Judge Sautner.  The Judge also doubted that the actress was attending counseling at least once a week.  Before the actress was taken away in handcuffs, Judge Sautner told the actress that she must complete 16 hours of service at the morgue before appearing in court again on November 2.

Judge Sautner said that Lohan’s eviction from the Women’s Center for not showing up violated terms of probation and she explained to the Attorney Shawn Holley that the time spent at the American Red Cross did not count toward her community service obligation.  She said no one has the power to change her sentence, not the volunteer and not the probation.  She is not getting credit for any time at the American Red Cross.  According to Reports, Holley was unable to provide the judge with the total number of hours Lohan had completed at the Women’s Center.  Sautner told Lohan that the way she look at it, she created an impossibility to perform the sentence that was given to her by her own actions certainly finding the cause to revoke her probation.  Nevertheless that the judge said Lohan could recive 18 months in jail, the new laws and overcrowding would make a lengthy sentence unlikely.

A mugshot of Lohan will not be released.  Lohan, aside from a role in last year’s film “Machete,” has seen her acting career evaporate in recent years. She has been in perpetual trouble since May 2010.  Lohan’s representative, Steve Honig, told E! News that Lindsay Lohan is hoping this matter will be resolved on November 2 and the Court will reinstate probation and allow her to continue fulfilling her community service.

As previously reported, Lohan is now serving at the American Red Cross for her court-ordered community service.  On Thursday, a spokesperson for the American Red Cross in Los Angeles confirmed to Access Hollywood that the actress is performing her community service with the group.  The spokesperson was unable to offer details on her start date or the nature of her work.  According to TMZ, Lindsay Lohan has bursted out feelings to friends when she have learned of the indictment.  Lindsay Lohan is telling friends … she was unfairly booted from the Downtown Women’s Center … insisting the staff was REALLY mean to her from the second she arrived.
Lohan has assured her inner circle … she did everything she was asked to do while performing her court-ordered community service at the L.A. center over the past few months … and NEVER showed up late.

As per TMZ learns, the actress was not attending her counseling as well.  Lindsay Lohan has violated the judge’s order in her probation case by not seeing a psychologist at least once a week … TMZ has learned … and that may be enough to send her to the slammer.
Judge Stephanie Sautner made it clear to Lindsay during her sentence last May … she MUST see the shrink every week, but she has not. We’re told one of her excuses is that she’s been working out of the country, but Judge Sautner made it extremely clear … work is not an excuse for failing to comply with the terms of probation.

Lindsay Lohan defends herself from accusations of being kicked out of community service program at the Women’s Center in Downtown Los Angeles, which is ordered by the court.  “I am not to be made an example of anymore,” she wrote on her WhoSay account on Friday, apparently aiming her words at TMZ, which, on Thursday, first reported Lindsay was no longer performing her community service at the Women’s Center.  “I am working hard and fulfilling my obligations every single day, to the court as well as myself,” the actress continued. “If I travel, it’s for work and it’s been approved. As is anything I do when I leave the state. I’d appreciate it if people will just let me do what is asked of me, so that I can get my life back. Please ignore the reports which have no truth to them. Thank you.”

The actress were spotted on Saturday shopping at the Phillip Lim Boutique in West Hollywood with her sister Ali.  Shopping seems to make things better for Lindsay.  The Lohan girls had just come from lunch at the Cheesecake Factory and some retail therapy was obviously in order.   Lindsay lohan is about to appear in front of Judge Stephanie Sautner in Los Angeles on October 19.  A rep for Lohan would not discuss why the actress is no longer working with the first organization she was assigned to by the court.

According to TMZ, Lindsay Lohan has been reportedly booted from her community service following a number of rule violations.  The actress was kicked out of the program two weeks ago after failing to show up for nine scheduled visits and only worked for one hour instead of four when she did show up.  Judge Stephanie Sautner ordered Lohan to complete 480 hours of community service including 360 hours at the Downtown Women’s Center in Los Angeles and the remaining 120 hours was believe to be intended for janitorial duty at the Los Angeles Country Morgue.

Judge Stephanie was frustrated with Lohan’s progress in July, when at the time she had completed 33 hours only of her required hours.  Being kicked out of the program, Lohan was given a new community service gig at the American Red Cross by the Probation department.  “Lindsay is now serving her community service at Red Cross, and we’re not providing any comment beyond that, her representative told E! News.  Commenting about her new affiliation, Lohan has told Gossip Cop, “I love it.”

TMZ seems to think that she is now in trouble with the courts, because Judge Stephanie made it clear last time that if she fucked up again, she is headed back to jail.  Lindsay Lohan has another probation hearing next week and quite little or no progress is expected since Lohan has been doing everything except for community service.  Appearing before Judge Sautner next Wednesday, Lohan and her attorney perhaps have the actual number of hours Lohan has spent toiling away for greater good.

Earlier this year, Lindsay Lohan pled not guilty to felony grand theft after she was accused of stealing a $2,500 necklace from LA jewelry store.  Everything was caught on the surveillance video but there are inconsistencies on the side of the owner that may have weaken the case against the actress.  The storeowner first reported that Lohan was spotted in the surveillance video putting the necklace on her purse changing her story to Lindsay Lohan leaving the store with the necklace on.   According to police reports, Lindsay walked out of the store wearing the necklace after trying and removing several pieces. Lohan reportedly offered $3,000 cash for $3,600 ring and upon refusal of the owner said that she will come back the next day and left the store wearing the necklace.  The owner soon found it missing and figured Lindsay had taken it by accident and would return with it but she never did.

Lohan has previously been reported telling friends her feelings about the accusation.  She said, “It’s bulls**t … I don’t have any necklace.” However, one of Lindsay’s associates returned the necklace to the cops before the search was executed.  The actress claimed that it was on loan to her and her stylist should have returned it.  She was released on $40,000 bail.  Just recently, the actress was sued again for allegedly racking up $100,000 bill with a limo service and never paying.  Her rep told E! News yesterday, “Lindsay has not been served with any lawsuit, and we cannot comment on a lawsuit we have not yet seen.”

Here are some photos of the ever controversial Lindsay Lohan.
