This isnt TMZ's 911. Its more like, TMZ's CNN's Larry Birkhead vs. Howard K Stern Paternity decision.

Oh, this story just keeps getting better. Her assistant had just quit and the assistant's mother came to collect her. That is who Lindsay was chasing.

Her assistant's mother, according to the LA Times. The story makes little sense.

"Police said they received a call around 1:30 a.m. from passengers in a black Cadillac Escalade sport utility vehicle who said they were being chased by a white Denali SUV. Police met up with the SUVs in the parking lot of Santa Monica's Civic Center, about a block away from the police department.

When police approached the Denali, they recognized Lohan as the driver. The passengers in the other vehicle apparently know Lohan, but did not realize she was chasing them..."

TedSez — Tue, 24 Jul 2007 11:02:20 EDT

Not to make Lindsay's troubles all about me, but... bitch woke me up.

I live about a mile from the Santa Monica police station, and the biggest gang of helicopters I've ever heard started circling overhead at 5:30 a.m. I was at a seminar this weekend and got about two hours' sleep Saturday night, so needless to say this has made me grumpy. (I also live under the flight path from Santa Monica Airport to the ocean, so Travolta and Cruise wake me up regularly, too.)

Still, how about that fantastic booking photo? It's a lot more dynamic and interesting than any of Lindsay's last three movies.

In eight months we can launch "Survivor: TMZ" in which Lohan, Hilton and Spears are locked into a $49 parking lot-view room of the Westward Ho in Las Vegas with nothing but an ounce of cocaine, three cans of Red Bull, a quart of Cossack Vodka and a cellphone with one hour of battery power. Hosted by Danny Bonaduce, the series will reach its thrilling finale just after the first commercial break.

@fritosforlunch: I see your point. But blind items and gossip are different than exposé books, actual photo evidence, or the driver "accidently" taking you to a neighborhood convenient to TMZ. And so on.

But how bad off do you have to be that you can't stay clean of language and habit for a trip across town?

Hey - look at her two booking records on the LAPD website - in the first one she is 5'02 and 120 lbs. In last night's arrest she is 5'07 and 118. I guess your ego isn't the only thing that grows while on cocaine.

@KarenUhOh: The Alky Anklet doesn't work when one partakes of cocaine, or anything other than alcohol. I'm pretty sure she was the recent subject of a Not-Very-BI about some starlet with an Alky Anklet who was in Hawaii and asking about where to get some Ecstasy.

@fritosforlunch: Seriously! Bitch should never be allowed behind the wheel again. Maybe the ghastly story of the fiancé dragged to death on Long Island tipped me over the edge, but driving when you're fkkd up is one of the vilest, most selfish, and morally indefensible things you can do. LOLhan is lucky the only things she's killed are her life expectancy, reputation, future, and credibility.
