Even as she did was she's supposed to do – check into rehab for 90 days as a condition of settling a lying-to-cops case – Lohan kicked up a storm of controversy.
The troubled actress, 26, arrived at the program on schedule Thursday – but not the New York facility approved by prosecutors under the terms of her plea deal in March.
Instead she arrived at a center in Southern California. The reason, according to TMZ.com, was that the New York program wouldn't let her smoke.
This set off a kerfuffle in a Santa Monica courtroom on Thursday morning, with City Attorney Terry White complaining his office hasn't had a chance yet to check the credentials of the Southern California center.
But the actress's attorney Mark Jay Heller urged the court to let Lohan stay there, on lockdown, while the place was checked out.
"My client is ensconced in the bosom of that facility right now," Heller said at a hearing. "She's in rehab right now. Nothing bad is going to happen."
Superior Court Judge James R. Dabney let her stay but refused to make the arrangement permanent and asked for an update later this month.
