Lindsay Lohan
Freedom may come easily for Lindsay Lohan, but it doesn't come cheap for the rest of us. As reported earlier today, the actress was recently put in jail for four hours as part of her 30 day sentence for violating her probation. Of course, she's free once again and will remain that way as long as she adheres to Judge Stephanie Sautner's strict probation regulations (and even if she doesn't, she probably won't go to jail anyway). But this isn't the first time Lindsay's been in court due to legal issues, and it could be costing the California taxpayers quite a bit of money. In fact, experts told Fox News that Lindsay may have cost taxpayers over $250,000 per hour for the jail time she served last night.
Ever since her drunk driving arrest in 2007, the Hollywood starlet has made more than 20 court appearances stemming from additional arrests, probation violations, failed drug and alcohol screenings, and neglecting to follow court orders -- which adds up to a lot of expenses for the state. According to former federal prosecutor Michael Wildes, “From logistics to the transcript reporters to the clerks, it is exorbitantly expensive to have a court appearance... It costs tens of thousands of dollars per court appearance for all the clerks, the security, and those court reporters who get paid by the page, not to mention all the collateral support for something like this."
Attorney Vikki Ziegler shares similar concerns on the matter, stating, “It has likely cost taxpayers millions of dollars. This has been a four year ordeal that taxpayers in California must foot. That includes salaries for judges, prosecutors, court officers, court reporters, clerks, [and] other law enforcement professionals, who must all be paid, to have touched the Lohan case directly or indirectly in one shape or another.”
So basically it costs a lot of money for Lindsay to sit in front of a judge, and California residents have been paying for it. At least the reason for our economic troubles finally has a face.

This poor girl. We know she's tough and scrappy, but she's still quite tiny and she obviously was unable to defend herself against such inexcusable violence.A source has sent us this EXCLUSIVE PICTURE of Avril Lavigne, showcasing the damage done to her face from the bar brawl she was caught up in this weekend at the Roosevelt Hotel. As you can see, she suffered a really heavy blow to her eye, with a pretty deep gash just above the lid, as well as some nasty scratches on her cheek and face.
We've said it before and we'll never stop saying it: Violence is never the answer.

Forbes has released a list of 10 world’s richest moms of 2009. Here’s the Top 10 list, please check whether your mother’s name is in the list.
No. 1: Christy Walton, 55 years old, (U.S.）$22.5 billion.
Justin Bieber struggled to record his Christmas duet with Mariah Carey — because adulthood has robbed him of his high notes.
The pop star’s manager Scooter Braun has revealed the teen’s voice broke just before he hit the studio with Carey to re-record her festive hit All I Want For Christmas.
And Braun admits his young charge’s tone is not as high as it used to be. The manager tells Billboard.com, “Vocally, his balls have dropped … [All I Want for Christmas] was the hardest song to do. A year ago that would have been no problem.”
“Yes, that was high,” Bieber says. “But I grinded it out and we got it down.”How old is this kid? 17? His voice should have changed years ago. It sounds like Justin’s body has taken longer to develop than Ground Zero. Of course, now that Justin’s voice has changed, he better start holding on to every dollar he’s got. Because without his ability to hit those high notes, he’ll be about as employable as a convicted felon with facial tattoos
