Although this isn't reaallllyyy the week in review.. there have been some crazy things in the news this week.
Lindsay Lohan has finally been sentenced to jail! 90 days in jail and then 90 days in rehab. It's about time!!! She has come up with so many ridiculous excuses for everything! If she had gotten away with it this time, who KNOWS what would happen next! Of course her father seems to be soaking up a lot of the "glory" - making an appearance on Larry King Live to talk about it all, and getting very "emotional" (maybe he's the better actor in the family!). Of course Lindsay's mom says that it's not fair and she shouldn't be going to jail. I don't know how blind you have to be to see that she was clearly lying to get her way out of any trouble and to get out of her alcohol meetings and such.
Usually I wouldn't be one to encourage a celebrity story to be on the news, but when it comes to someone finally getting what they deserve and not just getting the celebrity treatment, it's a different story.
Although, I have read that she will probably, and most likely, only serve about 23 days in jail, at least she got it handed to her in court! She finally realized that her excuses aren't enough and her crying, sobbing, and pleading wasn't going to work!
I must add, she didn't seem to get herself all dolled up for her court appearance. Sure she wore a black dress with a jacket over top, but her hair looked quite disheveled, and, although she seemed to get her nails painted, she decided to get the words 'f*ck u' written on her middle finger nails - probably not the best decision when you are heading to court! It made it worse when she tried to tell the court and the judge that she has complete respect for them and the judicial system and that she never did anything out of disrespect for the judge or the system. hmmmm I don't know about THAT one!
Anyways... on to something a little more newsworthy. A couple days ago, in the US, a 4 year old girl was snatched from her front yard when she was playing with her brother. Her parents had been watching them and had just stepped inside to start getting dinner ready when she was taken.
Her brother ran inside and told his parents what had happened, and the mother frantically jumped in her car and started driving the direction the boy said the car went - she had no luck... she had no idea what she was looking for.
Everyone was searching, and they had a description of the car and a small description of the man.
The next night, at a car wash in a town about 80 miles away, the girl was found. Witnesses heard a very loud car at the car wash which drew their attention and they saw a young child wandering around. They thought it was a young boy, and then proceeded to call 911. When police arrived, they realized that it was the young girl that had been taken from another town the day before. The girl was taken to the hospital to be checked out, and was reunited with her parents.
Then the search was on for the car, and the man, who had now gotten away.
Today, the news is that police had a man of interest and when they approached him to question him, he pulled out a gun and shot himself. From what I can tell right now, he was killed, but they have yet to confirm this.
Such an action seems to prove that he was guilty, and knew what he had done, and knew that he was in trouble. I guess you could say, if this much is true, that he got what he deserved. But at the same time, he will now not be able to be questioned, and we will never know why he took the little girl, and if he would have apologized for what he did.
The case is still unfolding, as is the Lindsay Lohan case (she may get in more trouble for her obscene words written on her nails!), so I will keep you updated if I find out any more info!
