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.

Compared to being somebody, being anybody can feel like you’re nobody.

We get to stare, leer and live vicariously through the Charlie Sheens, Lindsay Lohans and Tiger Woodses and then watch them go off the cliff without us following. This gives us an escape from how painfully ordinary and insignificant many of us can feel.

“Introjective identification” is the psychological process of taking someone into our being and experiencing that as if we were them. It is usually done with regard to positive figures, from Jesus Christ to God to role models, but it can also be done with regard to very negative and self-destructive people — like Charlie Sheen, Lindsay Lohan and others.

Part of what fuels that is that most of us have a hunger for experiencing life, but many of us have lives that can seem so incredibly mundane that it doesn’t appear that there is much to experience. It is that hunger that causes us to watch sports, go to movies and plays, become riveted to “American Idol,” “Dancing With the Stars,” etc. and do many things that we observe, rather than actually participate in. It is also why we buy fancy cars, fancy clothing, jewelry, fancy homes and become addicted.

Sadly, addiction, once begun, triggers a huge outpouring of a neurotransmitter called dopamine. And then once we get a taste of it and how awful it feels to crash off that surge, we start looking for ways to keep the dopamine high.

Ironically, Charlie Sheen and the others may be addicted to drugs, but because of our need to keep our dopamine highs by watching and reading about them, we have become addicted to that. The only difference is that, thankfully, most of us can still manage to go to work and tend to our friendships and families, while Sheen et al. go off a cliff.
