Despite her 90-day prison sentence, Lindsay Lohan doesn't plan to head to the big house.

"Lindsay has no intention of going to jail," a source told PopEater.com. "The only thing that Lindsay did wrong was hire the wrong attorney."

After Lohan's lawyer, Shawn Chapman Holley, jumped ship late last week, the actress contacted criminal defense attorney Stuart Goldberg. Although he was widely reported to be taking over Lohan's case, Goldberg won't be stepping in to help the troubled starlet after all.

As her July 20 court date approaches, Lohan is reportedly doing "what it takes" to avoid doing time behind bars.

"If Lindsay needs to start a Facebook campaign or set up protests or something like that, she is totally into it," the source told PopEater. "They are treating Lindsay differently because she is a star, so it's about time she used her star power to help her. She's seen the movie 'Chicago' several times, so it's not like she doesn't know how this sort of thing works!"

Unfortunately for Lohan, a song-and-dance routine may not be her best plan.

When Goldberg met with Lohan, her mother Dani and younger sister Ali for a six-hour "heart-to-heart conversation" over the weekend, he said the family "didn't seem to understand the urgency and gravity of the situation."
"My impression of Lindsay is that she's a fragile lost child – a sleeping beauty with her head in the sand," Goldberg told People.com.

"I'm concerned that she's not disciplined or tethered enough to the reality of adult consequences," he told the mag. "She doesn't seem to have the awareness of what's going to befall her."
What Lohan is reportedly aware of, however, is the lucrative paycheck she could earn for her first post-jail interview. According to PopEater, deals for the troubled actress are around the $1 million mark.
"Financially, it's the best thing that could have ever happened to Lindsay," an insider told the Web site. "It's no secret that Lindsay has been in financial trouble for a while. She will earn more money from her post-prison interview than she ever earned acting."

I don't know if I should laugh or cry. I've never seen the movie Chicago, but umm...
Go to jail and collect $1 million minus taxes, agent, and legal fees. Doesn't sound like such a bad deal.

Can you imagine what she's gonna look like when she's 40?

I don't see her making it to 40.

Assuming she even lives that long, which a lot of people are betting she won't. Hell, it's been said there are betting pools she won't even make 30.

True. I guess making it to 40 would be the victory in her case. Still, she looks haggard for her age. I'm a good six or seven years older than her, and I bet I look a decade younger.

I've aged backwards. At 9 and 10 people thought I was an adult, then by the time I get to the late teen stage, people think I'm 12, now, beats the hell out of me what they think I am now but I've done it the other way around.

Another spoiled brat thinking she can beat the system. And she has NEVER been cute. I don't care what happens to that non-acting hack.
