ACTRESS Lindsay Lohan has been ordered to appear in court for driving under the influence after losing control of her Mercedes convertible, the Beverly Hills Police Department said.
Lohan was involved in a single-car traffic accident at about 5:30 am, and was cited (ordered to appear in court) after being admitted to a nearby hospital for treatment of minor injuries, Sergeant Mike Foxen said.

He said Lohan was not taken into custody. Sgt Foxen also said he did not know if Lohan was still in the hospital, which he declined to name.

The actress, who underwent a stint in rehab earlier this year, was given a citation and a court date, Foxen said, adding that he did not know the date.

Representatives of the actress could not be immediately reached for comment.

Lohan, 20, shot to stardom in Disney movies like The Parent Trap and Freaky Friday, and as her fame grew, so did persistent hounding from the paparazzi, especially after she became well known for club hopping in Los Angeles.

In July last year, the producer of Georgia Rule, wrote a letter to Lohan in which he called her behavior “discourteous, irresponsible and unprofessional” because she was showing up late to the movie’s set.

Georgia Rule, in which Lohan portrays a troubled young woman, opened earlier this month.

The hollywood brats need to get off the road. How many does that make who have gotten DUIs now? What is it with these chicks and driving drunk??

We know they have had too much, too young and don’t have a clue about taking responsibility for their actions. But how hard is it for them to hire a driver?? They can afford it.

I wonder if Lohan will end up rooming with Hilton?

Do we care?

I didn’t think so.

UPDATE: From TMZ - a ‘usable amount’ of cocaine was found at the scene of the accident. More at TMZ
