Lindsay Lohan has begun a three-month stint in rehab, after serving just 14 days of her 90-day jail sentence, said RadarOnline.com. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department cited overcrowding as the reason for Lohan’s early release. She was immediately escorted to her next destination, UCLA Medical Center, where she will begin court-ordered substance-abuse treatment. Judge Marsha Revel ordered a last-minute switch of rehab centers, to ensure that outsiders would not be able to slip banned substances to the actress.
