With rehab — or worse — looming, Lindsay Lohan is determined to squeeze in as much fun as she can. And because this is LiLo, one must assume that fun involves drinking to the point of intoxication and causing a scene in front of paparazzi.

Less than a week after her sentencing, Lohan was seen hitting clubs in Southern California this weekend. According to Us Weekly, she was "drinking Ketel One vodka on the rocks and smoking Parliaments" with a pal in San Diego while wearing a Yankees cap and hoodie before chatting up singer Sean Kingston, who partied at a nearby table. The next night she tried to shield herself from media while leaving a private club in Santa Monica.

Despite the weekend boozing, TMZ issued a news alert that Lohan was NOT late to work on Monday morning. In fact, she was 45 minutes early for her 10 a.m. start. This shocking development might have been prompted by her debt to tax-relief benefactor Charlie Sheen. She's shooting a guest appearance on his FX sitcom "Anger Management" — as his therapy patient!

Lohan must face her own real-life treatment, but RadarOnline.com reports that she insisted it had to wait for Coachella. LiLo has attended the Palm Springs-area music and arts festival for the past three years and she wasn't ready to let any sentence get in the way — in fact, as attorney Mark Heller haggled with prosecutors, she made her deal contingent on the rehab stint coming after the April event.

"Lindsay loves going to the musical festival, and she’s determined to go this year," a snitch told Radar. "She didn’t want a little thing like rehab to get in her way of attending. Linds refused to sign off on any deal that would have prevented her from going to Coachella, period. Yes, it’s that important to her, for some strange reason."

Some speculate her obsession with Coachella this year might involve her budding romance with musician-club promoter Avi Snow, rumored to be aboard the private Mr. Pink jet that shuttled Lohan from New York to L.A. to make her last-minute plea deal. As part of that bargain, the actress was ordered to enroll in treatment by no later than mid-May. When her legal team makes its next appears in court May 2, it must provide a progress report on Lohan's counseling and proof of enrollment in a locked rehab facility.

But here's the twist: TMZ is reporting that the locked rehab facilities stipulated under the deal simply don't exist, thereby nullifying the agreement. The website says the type of treatment center Heller promised prosecutors he could enroll his client in is fictional. The centers won't stop patients if they want to leave — and because Lohan has been caught sneaking out of rehab before that could be a problem.

"There is no rehab that will hold you against your will, unless they feel the person is a suicide risk, and in that case they can hold the individual for 72 hours," rehab guru Dr. Drew told TMZ.

The only site that could keep Lohan locked up in New York is connected to the prison system and one requires a felony for enrollment. Lohan doesn't have one. (There's a bright side, huh?) Because of this development, prosecutors are re-evaluating the deal, TMZ reports. And jail time is back on the table.

Lindsay, you might want to hit a few more clubs while you can!

Bynes isn't content to lie low in LiLo's shadow

With tabloid rival Lindsay Lohan making headlines for her partying and rehab sentence, it's only natural Amanda Bynes would seek to put a little of the spotlight back on herself.

Her answer? A makeover (which includes wigs, cheek piercings and heavy makeup), strange behavior while clubbing solo in the early-morning hours around Manhattan and some lascivious tweets, including one inviting rapper Drake to "murder" an unmentionable part of her anatomy.

Seems her family has been reading those tweets, too. According to E! News, the self-proclaimed retired actress's recent antics coupled with her history of vehicular mishaps has family on the West Cost worried about her well-being. Sources tell E! her family wants Bynes to return to Los Angeles to keep a closer eye on her, but she refuses.

In the meantime, sources say her family is hoping for the best but is ready to step in "if needed." Many might suggest such intervention was needed some time ago.

Angelina Jolie meets with women and girls in Congo

Angelina Jolie is meeting with women and girls in eastern Congo, where sexual violence is rampant.

Jolie, a special envoy for the U.N. refugee agency, traveled to the Nzulo camp near Goma on Monday along with British Foreign Secretary William Hague.

The International Rescue Committee says it's provided care to more than 2,500 women and girls who have been raped or abused over the last year alone. The IRC is handing out kits with flashlights and whistles, as well as cleaning products so that women can avoid bathing at creeks where the risk of assault is higher.

Sexual violence is frequently used as a weapon of war by rebel groups that operate in eastern Congo, as well as by Congolese soldiers.

James Cromwell pleads no contest in Wisconsin

Actor James Cromwell has pleaded no contest to disrupting a University of Wisconsin System Board of Regents meeting last month while protesting cat experiments at the school.

The 73-year-old Cromwell and another activist, 27-year-old Jeremy Beckham, were charged with disorderly conduct following the meeting on the UW-Madison campus Feb. 7. Both men held large signs showing a cat with metal implanted in its head at a campus lab while shouting about the treatment of cats.

Cromwell's attorney, Marcus Jens Berghahn, entered no contest pleas on both men's behalf Monday. A court commissioner ordered each to pay $263 in forfeitures and costs.

Cromwell was nominated for an Academy Award for the 1995 film "Babe." His film credits also include "L.A. Confidential" and "The Green Mile."
