Lindsay Lohan’s Last Day For Plea Bargain: Report

To plea or not to plea, that is Lindsay’s question.

Lindsay Lohan, in court facing grand felony theft for allegedly stealing a necklace from a Los Angeles jewelry store, has been told time after time that, because a plea bargain is an admission of some guilt, she’d be sent to jail, perhaps for up to six months. That hasn’t quite excited her, and so she’s thus far refused to cop a plea bargain deal.

Now, Radar Online reports that today is her last day to do so. Otherwise, Lohan’s case would be sent to a preliminary hearing before Judge Stephanie Sautner, who is a much tougher judge than the one she’s before now. While cutting a plea deal may get her a light sentence, Judge Sautner may not be so generous — and if the case goes from preliminary hearing to trial, she’d immediately be sentenced for probation violation.

Tough choice Lohan is facing: taking a sure, yet potentially light sentence, to rolling the dice and hoping she gets off in a preliminary hearing.

Her case has been complicated by the fact that the jewelry store that accuses her of stealing the necklace has sold the surveillance tape that shows her wearing it. For selling it, Lohan is suing the store for profiting off her image — the store netted $40,000 in a deal with the Associated Press for the tape.

That’s a future legal battle, though. Today may be her biggest.

There’s also the issue of her fame-seeking dad, Michael Lohan, now filming for “Celebrity Rehab,” and insisting on bringing the cameras into Lindsay’s court life, something that Lindsay is of course displeased about.

Carl Sferrazza Anthony: Good Time Charlie: The Sheen of Hollywood’s Restored Rogue Archetype

In repossessing his previously successful persona, Charlie Sheen is now tweaking it into a narrative only Hollywood’s long-gone “Rogue” Archetype can play out. Whether search efforts for chards of the original Person have been abandoned only he knows; others only speculate.

Even before Monday’s CBS announcement he was fired from their sitcom Two and a Half Men, Sheen drew in over a million global Twitter followers from his most recent round of unapologetic drinking, sexing, drugging and ranting. Doing it all publicly, conscious of the media reaction, puts him in league with three other Silver Screen Rogue legends whose eerily similar behavior heightened their popularity. It also taps a primal nerve going back at least to the cult of Dionysus, the Greek God of partying better known in Roman form as Bacchus.

For a century, ever since the savvy little Gladys Smith, given the persona of “Mary Pickford,” was sold as “America’s Sweetheart,” Hollywood has bent a few actor attributes or deficiencies to craft their vaguely similar persona. If that persona busts the box-office, continuing to play to type can earn actors big fame and wealth, but not without other risks. “I’m sick of Cinderella parts, of wearing rags and tatters. I want to wear smart clothes and play the lover,” Pickford soon enough unsuccessfully protested against her “Sweetheart” persona. “The little girl made me,” she later explained as the reason she quit acting, “I wasn’t waiting for the little girl to kill me.” Those with personas drawn closely from their authentic selves had less trouble adapting it in different roles. Jimmy Stewart, for example, was nearly always a character who reflected his personal warmth and honesty.

In contrast was Charlie Chaplin who developed his own iconic persona, the “Little Tramp,” with a childhood in a homeless shelter and orphanage that forced him to use wit to overcome adversity. The “Tramp” was the ultimate comic hero; confounding authority to escape sadness. To working-class Americans, especially millions of impoverished immigrants, Chaplin and the Tramp were one. The hope he offered them wasn’t new. Aristophanes gave Ancient Greek audiences the character of “Strepsiades” in his 423 B.C. play “Clouds,” who manages to confuse his money-lenders and slip from crushing debt, using the Archetype again in a character called “Makemedo” in his play “Bird” nine years later.

Similarly, Mae West consciously created her own undulating and moaning “Diamond Lil” persona in part to keep fresh the memory of her beloved Gay ’90s mother and found it such a useful armor to slip into for real life that many felt they were one and the same. It was no coincidence that some observers called West, the first actress to subvert misogyny by being sexually assertive, a modern Aphrodite, the Goddess who wore a magic gold girdle and took many lovers.

Lindsay Lohan Rejects Plea Deal, Wears Mini Dress To Court (PHOTOS)

AP Text/Scroll down for Getty photos:

LOS ANGELES – Lindsay Lohan rejected a plea agreement Thursday offered by prosecutors in a grand theft case that included a guaranteed return to jail.

The “Mean Girls” actress appeared in a Los Angeles courtroom and told a judge she agreed to delaying her case until a preliminary hearing when prosecutors will present evidence against her.

It was all she said during the brief proceeding.

The case was set for a preliminary hearing on April 22.

The exact terms of the deal were not disclosed, but Lohan was on probation in January when a Venice jewelry store accused her of taking a $2,500 necklace.

Lohan has pleaded not guilty to the charge.

If Lohan is ordered to stand trial, Superior Court Judge Keith Schwartz has warned her that she may be sent to jail for violating her probation on a 2007 drunken driving case.

Lohan’s return to court came days after surveillance footage was aired of her trying on necklaces at Kamofie & Co., which reported the necklace stolen on Jan. 22. The necklace 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 Associated Press and licensed exclusively to “Entertainment Tonight.”

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, it 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.
