Hi everyone,
Hope everyone is doing well and having a fun pre-Emmy week like I am. The Emmys are almost here!!!!!!!!!! Have you all chosen your dress to wear at home?

Lohan was released on her own recognizance, with a court date slated for Aug. 24.Meanwhile, Lohan's hard partying, though supposedly now curbed, may have cost her a film gig.
