			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Lindsey Lohan, just like many other celebrities in Hollywood, has admitted herself into rehab multiple times already. Despite her reputation as a party girl, Lohan had long denied that her social life had gotten out of hand.</p>
<p>In a statement released by her publicist, Lohan states, &#8220;I have made a proactive decision to take care of my personal health. I appreciate your well wishes and ask that you please respect my privacy at this time.&#8221;</p>
<p>The 22-year-old starlet checked herself into L.A.&#8217;s Laurel Canyon Wonderland Center after an all-night drinking binge led to her being found early the next morning passed out in a hallway at a party hosted by Prince at the Beverly Wilshire.</p>
<p><a href="http://theaablog.com/files/2009/01/lindsay-lohan-polaroid-bikini-candids-00.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-79" src="http://theaablog.com/files/2009/01/lindsay-lohan-polaroid-bikini-candids-00.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="338" /></a></p>
<p>According to the facility&#8217;s Web site, the Wonderland Center is a &#8220;residential treatment and detoxification facility providing services for alcohol, substance abuse and relapse-prevention programs.&#8221;</p>
<p>In a July 26 letter to Lohan, the CEO of Morgan Creek Productions, James G. Robinson, said Lohan was &#8220;discourteous, irresponsible and unprofessional&#8221; and was acting &#8220;like a spoiled child.&#8221; Being late to movie sets, skipping meetings with casting directors, and filling water bottles with Vodka at 19, this girl definitely needs to get her sh*! straight.</p>
<p>More and more celebrities are being admitted into rehabilitation for Alcohol and Narcotic Abuse these days more than ever. Why is it that these celebs can&#8217;t take control over their actions? If I were lucky enough to be as financially set as some of these rehab-a-holics are, I certainly wouldn&#8217;t be found passed out in a hallway.</p>
<p>Though many do argue that Lohan&#8217;s childhood fame, is the root of her current issues, I think its nothing more than an excuse. Hopefully she can get herself under control and get back into the spotlight where she definitely has alot of potential to becoming a respectable actress.</p>
