Actress Lindsay Lohan, who was recently released from an alcohol rehabilitation facility, was arrested in Santa Monica early today on suspicion of drunken driving and possession of cocaine, police said.
Lohan, already facing a drunken-driving charge in Beverly Hills, was stopped in the 1800 block of Main Street near the police station after officers said the mother of Lohan's assistant reported a car chase, Lt. Alex Padilla said. Lohan, 21, was allegedly chasing the assistant's mother, and the woman feared for her safety, Padilla said.
Lohan refused a sobriety test at the scene but was tested at the station, he said. The test found her blood alcohol between .12 and .13, he said. California's legal limit is .08.
The actress was booked on two misdemeanor charges of suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol and driving on a suspended license and two felony charges of possession of cocaine and transport of a narcotic, police said.
"While in the jail, officers found a small amount of cocaine," Padilla said, adding that the drug was found in Lohan's pocket.
Lohan's lawyer, Blair Berk, said: "Addiction is a terrible and vicious disease. Since Lindsay's transition to outpatient care, she has been monitored on [an alcohol detection] bracelet and tested daily in order to support her sobriety. Throughout this period, I have received timely and accurate reports from the testing company. Unfortunately, late yesterday I was informed that Lindsay had relapsed. The bracelet has now been removed. She is safe, out of custody and presently receiving medical care."
Lohan was released at 6:20 a.m. after posting $25,000 bond, police said. The incident occurred about 1:35 a.m. when the assistant's mother, driving a black Cadillac Escalade sport utility vehicle, told police that she was being chased by a white Denali SUV.
There were two passengers in Lohan's SUV. There were three people in the Cadillac, police said.
The actress is to appear in Los Angeles County Superior Court on Aug. 24.
Lohan was scheduled to be on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" tonight.
Lohan turned herself in last week to Beverly Hills police to face a driving under the influence charge in connection with a Memorial Day weekend hit-and-run crash.
The actress and two other adults were in her 2005 Mercedes SL-65 convertible when she lost control and crashed into a curb and shrubs on Sunset Boulevard on May 26, police said.
Lohan got into a second car and was driven to a hospital in Century City for minor injuries, police said. The others in her car were not hurt.
This month, Lohan checked out of a rehabilitation center after more than six weeks of treatment. In January, she also checked into rehab for substance abuse treatment.

During drop off this morning....
Right in front of another parent, a DAD no less, I get asked (by a little boy), "Ms. Spare, do you have a penis?"
"No." -Ms. Spare
"You don't?"
"No"
"What do you have?"
"No"
Then the dad asks, "What did he just ask you?" So I, "Um...(smile), um...well..." Dad says, "Did he just ask what I think he did?" Me: "YEP!"
"No." -Ms. Spare
"You don't?"
"No"
"What do you have?"
"No"
Then the dad asks, "What did he just ask you?" So I, "Um...(smile), um...well..." Dad says, "Did he just ask what I think he did?" Me: "YEP!"

Training
So, I have attended 2 of my 6 days of director training. I am in process of getting my director credentials to soon become a preschool director. The training is all the way out in Ft. Worth, and my husband and I are currently sharing a car. FUN! Actually, it's not so bad. He has to be at work at 7 am, so I go directly from there and get there just in time.
First of all, Ft. Worth drivers are NOT friendly! I get the privilege of driving on, like, 5 different highways, usually at rush hour. People are weaving in and out of lanes (which is normal). Not too many people use their signal to let you know they plan to cut you off. Pet peeve #1. How hard is it to push down a little stick, RIGHT NEXT TO YOUR HAND? Anyway...so I'm nice and let people in, because it's not like I'm going anywhere far at the moment. Pet peeve #2: Ft. Worth people don't wave thanks when you let them in. Dallas (most), Richardson and Plano drivers, in my experience, wave when you let them in. It's just nice, you know. Not in Ft. Worth. It is their right get in your lane, and you are supposed to let them in.
Ok, moving on. So in this director training, there's a lot of other directors or directors-in-training. OMG!!!! The stories and questions that these people have! I'm really curious what their school is like. One girl's boss is taking complete advantage of her. She's an assistant director and is on salary, which is typically an hourly job. She works 6am to 6pm regularly and does not get paid overtime! She's working 60 hours a week and getting paid zilch! Like that's not enough, this girl is having to use her own vacation time to pay for the fact that she's not at work, she's at training. She was completely unaware that her job is supposed to pay her salary when she's at training during the week. I told her she needs to call the workforce commission and ask a whole bunch of questions. Another guy was talking about his school, which he's owner of. We're in a discussion about the Americans With Disabilities Act, and he's talking about how he told a lady he wouldn't enroll her 11 year old child into the program because the kid wears diapers and he thought it was gross and didn't want to deal with it. Yea, I'd think the same thing, but you don't TELL the parent that! She got all upset, rightfully so, and threatened to sue. Another was asking if you can make it policy for parents to tell you if their child has HIV. Well, if you knew a child had HIV before they were enrolled, would you enroll them? Probably not, which is discrimination. She totally didn't get that.
"What if a parent comes in drunk? I still have to release the child to them because it's the parent, right?"
"What if the mother says the father is not involved and we have no info on him, but then he all of a sudden comes to the school and wants to pick up. Do we release the child to him?" "Is the father on the release form?" "No." "Then no." "But he's the father." "How do you know he's the father if you have no info?"
There's just so much information! And stupid questions. And I fear that taking this position will make me lose friends. I'll be their boss. I'll become the one they talk about. I'll be making changes and it will piss them off because they won't understand why, or they've become so used to getting things a certain way. I really hope not. I hope that it will be like before when I was in charge. I was complemented on my job performance. Everyone was happy with me and how I did things. Even after I left the position, people still complemented me. It's nice! (Sigh)......maybe things will be like that....

Happy Birthday, Lt. Dan!
My little puppy turned one year old on July 3. Still deciding on whether he should keep his balls or not. He's not aggressive, which makes me want to leave them there. But Bob Barker always said, "Help control the pet population. Have your pets spaid or neutered." Also need to schedule shots and microchip.For his birthday, he got a filled real bone. He took that thing and hid under the bed. It's amazing how far down he got his tongue in there!

Today I was spanked by a 4 year old boy...
(who immediately went to the office!). I was called poopy head, meanie and chicken (chicken was more playful). I was told a brick wall would break my teeth. I was asked how jelly fish swim to the same spot in the ocean if they don't have eyes. I was asked if I had a butt. I witnessed a 4 year old squeeze a teacher's breasts (both breasts, one in each hand), which then I proceeded to explain why that is not ok and is never to be done again. I explained to a group of children about privacy, good touches and bad touches. I then typed a letter to every parent in my class about the class' discussion. I was told "I love you." I led a 4 year old Independence Day parade. I rubbed a little boy's head until he fell asleep. I was hugged, poked, climbed on, swung on, ignored, yelled at, kissed and snuggled with.

Britney Hires A Stylist, To Look Like Katie Holmes
Britney Spears has chosen new Hollywood style queen Katie Holmes as inspiration for a new look reports NW Magazine.
To help her transformation, Britney Spears's finally decided to hire a stylist, revealing that she's impressed with the way Katie has evolved from schoolgirl-cute to sophisticated mum. And now she wants to do the same, regardless of cost.
"Britney wants to go from trashy to classy," says a source close to the singer, "and she's spending a fortune in the process."
In a massive one-day shopping spree splurge recently, Britney took her cousin Alli Sims and a personal shopper along with her as she shelled out almost $39,000 on designer clothes at upscale Beverly Hills department store Neiman Marcus.
As she was ushered into a private VIP viewing area, Britney, 25, was overheard telling staff she wanted to buy "the kind of stuff Katie Holmes wears".
In her attempt to be just like Katie, Britney Spears focused her attention on elegant, high-end labels such as Armani and Manolo Blahnik.
But after splashing out on her new wardrobe and choosing an array of Katie-inspired items such as fitted jackets, chic silk shirts, fashion shoes and well-cut jumpers in muted tones, Britney's planning to ditch her famously tacky outfits once and for all and emerge as a sophisticated woman.

WOMEN SUCK!
Yes, this is the conclusion I have come to. Now, not ALL women, mind you...but the great majority is who I'm speaking of at this moment (Karissa, Rachel and Becca don't count because they all took such good care of me on Saturday....thanks again!).
Men aren't this complicated. They have a problem, they say something. Or they beat each other and move on. How freakin' EASY is that?! Women on the other hand...they talk shit about you behind your back. They give you the cold shoulder. IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH ME, TELL ME TO MY FUCKING FACE!!!!!!
Damn it, how hard is that?! "Hey, um, so I'm having issues with bla bla bla..." "Oh, really? I didn't know you thought that. Here's my two cents...." There, fixed. But NO! Instead they talk to everyone else, and then that person, for some reason, feels they need to stir the pot and tell you the things that have been said. Because this does people good, right? It's not like I can approach the subject...I'm not supposed to know anything.
Listen, if you're truly my friend, and you're upset with me, or are worried about something, for the love of God please just tell me. Seriously, what's the worst that could happen? We talk? OOOOH...scary! Misunderstandings are then taken care of? Yea, that's exactly what you want to avoid... Don't play these stupid, bullshit games that are so fucking high school. I'm sorry, but I graduated high school like 9 years ago, and I left stupid games like that back then too.
It just seems like most problems I'm having are caused by women. I need to hang out with more men, if only to take a "vacation" from bullshit like this.
