Smoke-Free Jail Will Kill Lilo?


Lindsay Lohan's close friends are concerned that LiLo won't survive a single day in jail without the one thing she can't live without ... cigarettes.

As TMZ previously reported, the jail where Lindsay is extremely likely to do time is the same all-female facility where Paris got locked up in 2007 -- the same place with a serious zero tolerance no-smoking policy.

Bad news for Lindsay -- because according to one of her close friends, the jail-bound actress is a "serious chain-smoker" who blows through at least two packs a day. We're told, "The first thing she does when she wakes up is light a cigarette."

The source adds, "I'm honestly scared for [Lindsay] ... I don't think she's gone a day without smoking in years. This isn't something she can stop overnight. It's a serious condition."

But here's the upside ... if Lindsay does head to Lynwood on July 20 -- and chances are she will -- it could be exactly what she needs to kick her nasty habits ... or at least one of them.

Lindsay jailed: When Bad News is Good News


The funny business of fame.

Putting the best face on an absolutely disastrous situation, retailers and analysts suggest that Lindsay Lohan's troubles could be good for her new apparel collection.

Lohan's line, called 6126, launched online Wednesday, the same day a judge sentenced the troubled actress to 90 days in jail for violating conditions of her probation.

Bad news?

Not when it comes to sales, which are expected to be $5 million a year. An article in Women's Wear Daily speculates the notoriety could boost interest.

"Lindsay has mind share right now, so people will be interested to see what the merchandise looks like," retail analyst Jeff Vansinderen of B. Riley & Co. tells WWD.

"At the end of the day it may not hurt, and it could even help sales in an ironic and twisted way."

Hollywood celebrity favorite - Kitson stores have reportedly ordered about $15,000 worth of Lohan's line for July.

Since it's expected that Lohan will only serve about three weeks behind bars, Kitson owner Fraser Ross says LiLo could be released just as her clothes hit stores. WWD reports Kitson earlier launched Paris Hilton's line in 2007 only weeks after her jail stint, and "her appearance at the shop drew so many fans that the street had to be shut down."

Lindsay Lohan Punched by Waitress

Waitress Who Punched Lindsay Will Get the Boot

The waitress who socked Lindsay Lohan last night -- allegedly -- may have punched out for good at the nightclub ... TMZ has learned.

Our sources say managers at Voyeur are meeting today to decide the fate of the waitress, but we're told they've pretty much already decided to fire her.

We're told it all started last night when the waitress flipped her lid after spotting one of her old flings -- rugby player Danny Cipriani -- hanging out with LiLo. The waitress allegedly lashed out at LiLo by serving her a stiff one ... as in a knuckle sandwich.

Sweet revenge on Lindsay's 24th.
