A judge has ordered Lindsay Lohan to go to rehab, not jail, but the perennially troubled starlet isn't thrilled with the decision. Apparently broke, she says she can't afford a three-month stint at the Betty Ford Clinic estimated to cost at least $50,000. Enter two unlikely sponsors: PETA and the porn industry. Animal rights group PETA has offered to cover $10,000 of the bill if she'll go vegan in rehab, and will cough up another $10,000 if Lohan gives up eating animals for an entire year. Meanwhile, an adult website called Tube8.com has reportedly offered $50,000 if Lohan agrees to serve as a marketing consultant to offer "insights into the further mainstreaming of pornography." What's a fading starlet to do? (Watch an E! report about Lohan's predicament)
Take the PETA money and enjoy a a healthy vegan lifestyle: "A crucial part of any recovery is showing charity to others," says PETA head Michelle Cho, as quoted on E!, and "one way...is [being] kind to animals, the Earth, and your own body." Going vegan, and taking the PETA cash in turn, could all be part of her larger rehab efforts. She'll "never regret it."
