LINDSAY LOHAN has narrowly avoided arrest by beginning a court-ordered 90-day stay at the Betty Ford Centre. A judge told the troubled star she had to begin her treatment on 2 May, but instead of going to the nominated facility in Westhampton Beach, New York, she boarded a private plane and flew to Los Angeles. Lohan spent "several minutes" at a rehab facility in Newport Beach, California, before driving off. She was later photographed shopping at an electronics store in Fountain Valley, California.

Could this mysterious missive that arrived at The Week's offices shed some light on what happened?
