With a 90 day jail sentence looming followed by a 90 day in-patient stint at a rehab facility Lindsay Lohan is about to find herself with a lot of time on her hands.
Perhaps in an attempt to while away the hours in captivity, Lohan paid a visit to Blick art materials in Los Angeles yesterday afternoon to stock up on some supplies.
In true starlet fahion, Lohan was flanked by a sizeable entourage, including her attorney and close friend, Mike Heller, her mother Dina, sister Ali and rumored new girlfriend, Eilat Anschel.
Oh, and five dozen or so paparazzi.

Happy at last: Lohan even managed to break out in a smile whilst she shopped the store
Lohan had plenty to chose from at the massive store which offers discounted materials for painting, drawing, scrapbooking, crafts, kids projects and ceramics.
And for the first time in days the Mean Girls star was actually spotted with a smile on her face.
Lohan had been holed up in her LA apartment since her court appearance on Tuesday.
The notorious party girl even skipped out on her own birthday party Wednesday night at Hollywood club Las Palmas, chosing instead to spend a low key night in with friends Kim Kardashian, Lady Victoria Hervry and Anschel.

Anschel, who recently completed mandatory service in the Israeli Army, has been a ‘shoulder to cry on’ for the actress in recent times, according to sources.
In an interview with America’s Entertainment Tonight set to air tonight, Lohan’s mother, Dina says her 24-year-old daughter is ‘scared to death’ about going to jail.
Lohan was sentenced to 90 days in jail after violating her probation, and a further 90 days in rehab.

Dina says Lohan was ‘completely blindsided’ by the prison term.

She said the actress believed she was in complete compliance with the terms of her parole and that the outcome of the day in court was to be the removal of her SCRAM bracelet.
‘It’s very difficult, we’re not sleeping well, we’re not functioning,’ she says. ‘We cry a lot and we hug a lot. She’s petrified, we all are. We’re angry. We’re disappointed in the system.’
Dina also said the star does not need rehab, adding: ‘I know my daughter is clean and sober today. I know that for a fact.’
Meanwhile, it has emerged that the criminal defense lawyer has resigned from the actress’ case.
The move came shortly after Shawn Chapman Holley issued a statement Thursday criticising a judge’s sentence.
Holley called the sentence ‘harsh and unfair,’ but said the actress would abide by its terms and report to jail as planned.
A representative for Holley confirmed Thursday that the attorney had withdrawn from the case and that her remarks remained valid.

Holley has represented the star since the start of her legal problems back in 2007 and was a highly visible member of the O.J Simpson defence team.
It has also emerged that Lohan will be able to take a string of prescription drugs while inside.
She can take the antidepressants Zoloft and Trazodone, the ADHD drug Adderall, the acid reflux drug Nexium and the painkiller Dilaudid, according to her probation report.
According to the report Lohan tested positive for amphetamines on May 27, but it was not considered a violation because of the Adderall prescription.

Lohan also tested positive for amphetamines and opiates on June 2 and June 7, also not violations because of the prescription to Adderall and Dilaudid.
‘The defendant has reported for supervision as instructed, and her attitude has been positive,’ the report stated.
‘She has been cooperative with probation officer, as she has provided medical proof for her prescription drugs and submitted to drug tests when required.
‘The defendant indicates she has been on the same prescription medication for as long as she can remember.
‘She states that she wants to move on with her life and feels that she has done everything that the court has asked her to do.’
Lohan took to Twitter yesterday to complain that her sentence is a violation of her human rights.
The star, who caused a stir when she arrived in court with ‘F*** you’ written on one of her nails, tweeted an article from the U.N. Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
‘No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment,’ she wrote.
Just to make it clear she was talking about herself, Lohan continued by quoting law professor Erik Luna on U.S. sentencing guidelines, under which she was punished.
