Who cares about Lindsey Lohan?

Obviously lots of folks. I was away from my Twitter feed for an hour or so and in that time dozens of Lohan-related bulletins came streaming in. Ah yes, the news jackals unload. In case you missed it, a Bev Hills judge ruled that the actress violated the terms of her probation in a drunk driving case, and sentenced her to 90 days in jail. From the LAT:

Before sentencing, a tearful Lohan addressed the court, saying "as far as I knew I was in compliance with my programs." "I wasn't trying to get special treatment," the actress said. "I have to provide for myself. I have to work. Having said that, I did everything to balance my jobs and showing up. I'm not taking this as a joke. It's my life. It's my career...I take responsibility for my actions. I've tried to do the best I can. It's been such a long haul, I don't want you to think that I don't respect you."
