She’s certainly no stranger to life behind bars and she has been adamant she will not be returning.

Lindsay Lohan, who is appearing in court today, will not be accepting a plea deal that will send her to jail in a grand theft case, is believed.

The Mean Girls star has pleaded not guilty to a felony grand theft that was filed after a jewelry store reported the starlet had taken $2,500 necklace without permission.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Keith L. Schwartz has said if Lohan accepts a plea agreement offered by prosecutors last month that he will send her to jail for the fourth time in as many years.

A source close to the actress said that Lohan does not intend to accept the plea offer at Thursday's hearing. The source spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of Lohan's case.

U.S. website TMZ have posted contradicting reports and said that Lindsay is considering accepting a plea.

The gossip site posted: 'The fact that Lindsay is actually thinking about accepting Judge Schwartz' offer is a huge step -- because she has been adamant up to this point that she will NOT go back to jail.'


Schwartz will lay out the next steps of the case and may schedule a preliminary hearing during which prosecutors will present their evidence.

If Lohan is ordered to stand trial Schwartz has warned the starlet that she may be sent to jail for violating her probation on a 2007 drunken driving case.

Lohan's return to court comes days after surveillance footage of her trying on necklaces at Kamofie & Co., which reported the necklace stolen on Jan. 22. It was eventually given by a Lohan associate to detectives, who had already obtained a search warrant for the actress' Venice home.

Entertainment Tonight aired the footage, which showed Lohan texting, pacing and talking to a store clerk for nearly 45 minutes. The actress wore the necklace she is accused of stealing for roughly 25 minutes, according to the show, before the clerk escorted Lohan out, smiled and held a door open as she walked out.

The footage was obtained by a commercial images division of the AP and licensed exclusively to Entertainment Tonight.

The source told said that Lohan's defense team thinks the video's release and its sale will benefit the actress' defense.

Lohan's court troubles have long overshadowed her once-promising acting career. A former star in Disney films such as ‘Freaky Friday’ and ‘Herbie Fully Loaded,’ her career has been stalled since she was arrested twice in 2007 and later charged with drunken driving and drug possession.

In the past 10 months, Lohan has been jailed twice and sent to rehab twice for probation violations. A judge ordered her to undergo three months of treatment at the

Betty Ford Center, and it was within three weeks of her release that she was accused of stealing the necklace.

While the theft case has caused more uncertainty for Lohan, 24, the incident may go on to benefit others.

The owners of Kamofie & Co. announced Wednesday that they will auction the necklace and donate the proceeds to an unspecified charity after the theft case is resolved. The item remains in the custody of authorities.

‘We have already publicly released the videotape which speaks for itself and accurately records the incident, and we believe the next step toward achieving closure is to donate the now-famous jewelry to charity,’ store owners Sofia and Geoff Kaman said in a statement released Wednesday morning.

Lindsay Lohan Necklace Surveillance Video Sold

Lindsay Lohan Necklace Surveillance Video Sold

Kamofie & Co., the "victim" in the alleged Lindsay Lohan jewelry store scandal just cashed in on a very important tape.

The store reportedly just sold the surveillance tape of Lindsay to Entertainment Tonight for $35,000!

"The tape was sold in the U.S. and abroad," a source told Radaronline. "The jewelry store wanted a bidding war to maximize profits. They chopped up the sale to different outlets to make as much money as possible," the source told us.


The tape is a key piece of evidence in the felony grand theft case against Lindsay, so they basically f**ked up the prosecutor's case.

Lindsay's defense was that the store let her loan the necklace, but the store says she flat out stole it.

Lindsay's lawyer Shawn Holley is trying to work Lindsay a plea deal that will involve about 3 months in the pokey, but Lindsay refuses to go back to jail.

Lindsay Lohan Faces Felony Charge

Lindsay Lohan will appear in court today to be charged with felony grand theft. The troubled 24-year-old is accused of stealing a $2,500 necklace from a Venice, Calif., jewelry store on January 22.
If convicted, Lohan faces up to three years in prison. At her 1:30 PM arraignment, Lohan will surrender to the court but won't be handcuffed in front of cameras. She is currently on probation for a past drunk driving conviction; she spent 13 days in jail and 90 days in rehab last year.

A key fact in the case may be whether the necklace was borrowed or stolen. Lohan claims store employees let her borrow the 'one of a kind' necklace. Father Michael Lohan says his daughter 'gets so much on consignment and that's exactly what happened here.'

Lindsay Lohan to read David Letterman Top 10

One of David Letterman’s favorite subjects of jokes in recent monologues will now get a chance to deliver a few laughs on her own: Lindsay Lohan will appear on “Late Show with David Letterman” Thursday night to present that night’s Top-10 list. The show announced Ms. Lohan’s appearance late Tuesday. She will appear on satellite and read the list, prepared by the Letterman show writers. The subject was not disclosed Tuesday.

Ms. Lohan will be making her fifth appearance as a guest on the show and her first since 2007. In the interim, she has been in the news frequently, most recently for being charged with stealing a necklace — a topic Mr. Letterman has visited frequently on recent nights with jokes.

Monday night, for example, he told one saying that in the aftermath of the upheaval in Egypt someone noticed that King Tut’s necklace was missing.
