She needs help!
Out of it & back to rehab
The party may finally be over for Lindsay Lohan.
The star-crossed starlet is headed back to rehab, In Touch Weekly magazine reported last night, after a wild Memorial Day weekend in which she crashed her car, was busted for DUI and was later photographed passed out in a car.
"She finally realizes it's the right thing to do," In Touch quoted a friend of the actress as saying. "She is going willingly."
Ironically, the photos show a medallion dangling in front of the slumbering star from the rear-view mirror. It reads "30 Days" - a reference to the number of days of sobriety.
One photo shows Lohan out of the car and on her knees, being watched over by two unidentified men as she seems to vomit on the sidewalk.
The actress' early morning antics came on the same weekend she was cited for driving under the influence after crashing her Mercedes convertible in Beverly Hills, Calif.
Investigators found what they believed to be cocaine in the car after the accident, which happened around 5:30 a.m. Saturday after a night of club crawling.
Cops said Lohan could face additional charges when she appears in court Aug. 24.
It's the latest in a series of increasingly out-of-control episodes for the young actress.
The actress' friends are hoping the tumultuous weekend will serve as a wake-up call.
"It's a tough time for her right now," said a close friend, who asked not to be identified. "Everyone is hoping that this is a learning lesson to all."

Psalm 34:17-19 (NLT)
17 The Lord hears his people when they call to him for help.
He rescues them from all their troubles.
18 The Lord is close to the brokenhearted;
he rescues those whose spirits are crushed.
19 The righteous person faces many troubles,
but the Lord comes to the rescue each time.
What does today's God's Story scripture teach us about crying out to God for help when we "hit rock bottom"?
Tyndale's LIFE APPLICATION STUDY BIBLE notes provide this insight:
34:18, 19 We often wish we could escape troubles - the pain of grief, loss, sorrow, and failure, or even the small daily frustrations that constantly wear us down. God promises to be "close to the brokenhearted" and to be our source of power, courage, and wisdom, helping us through our problems. Sometimes he chooses to deliver us from those problems. When trouble strikes, don't get frustrated with God. Instead, admit that you need God's help and thank him for being by your side.
While we don't know what Lindsay Lohan believes about God, we do know that she seems to be doing the right thing by admitting that she has problems and needs help...again.
You may need to do the same. If you remember to trust God, our Rock, you may not have to hit rock bottom.
But if you do, our loving Father will hear your cry and meet your need.
- Thank God that He alone is the Rock of our salvation, our strength, our hope, our loving Father. Be honest. If you have hit rock bottom, admit that to Him right now and let Him show you His unconditional love and amazing help. If you're doing well, praise God and admit to Him that you must and will depend on Him in every way, every day.
- Memorize today's scripture. It will be a constant reminder of God's love and strength in your daily life.
- If you are struggling with alcohol, drugs, an eating disorder, sexual addiction or something else that is crushing you, contact a Christian friend, youth leader, or pastor and ask for help today.
How can we connect today's story and God's Story scripture and our story to others?
- Use the latest Lindsay Lohan headline to start conversations with friends and family members who are hurting with some outcomes of poor choices.
- If you know someone who is struggling with a "rock bottom" lifestyle, pray for God to give you the opportunity, courage, and love that you need to talk to him or her. Remember to ask questions that allow them to share their story. Listen carefully. You don't have to have all the answers but by showing that you care, you will be communicating your story and God's Story.
