Lindsay Lohan
may have a mountain of problems of her own, but on Sunday, she was
focusing on other people in need.On Sunday evening, the troubled
actress, 24, visited the homeless at the
Dream Center, a Los Angeles mission and outreach facility. While there,
Lohan -- who visited the facility along with her mother Dina, sister
Ali and two friends -- met with children and families, signing
autographs and handing out purses to some of the teen girls. E! News snapped a photo of the actress surrounded by the Dream Center's residents.
Later, Lohan wrote about the visit on her Twitter account:
"What a great place The Dream Center is here in LA... had a nice time
there today, it's so important to give back. I feel blessed," she tweeted.
Lohan herself is expected to check into a facility of a much different
sort -- to seek treatment for alcohol and drug abuse, in a matter of
days. TMZ.com
reported Sunday that Lohan is "agonizingly aware she has an addiction
problem" and is ready to acknowledge the reality that addicts tend to
lose control again before they recover.
A conservator for Lohan may also be appointed by the Los Angeles court system that put her back in jail on Friday. In 2007, Britney Spears,
a similarly troubled pop culture icon, was placed under the
conservatorship of her father Jamie Spears to keep watch over her
personal and business affairs.
Lohan was freed from her latest jail stint Friday night. After one
judge ordered her held without bail until a court hearing next month, a
second judge cleared the way for her release on $300,000 bail on several
conditions -- including that she be fitted with an alcohol-monitoring
bracelet within 24 hours of her release and refrain from drinking
alcohol or possessing controlled.
