Is Lindsay Lohan's Upcoming Felony Grand Theft Charge the Last Straw?

Lohan Faces Her Most Serious Threat to Her Career

Lindsay Lohan will be charged with felony grand theft, as reported at ABC News. Is it over for the troubled actress? Will any studio want to work with her again? That question looms as the 24-year-old actress faces felony grand theft of a $2,500 necklace allegedly stolen from a Venice, California jewelry store.

What will the charge mean? It means her ticket to jail is closer to reality. Lohan is due in court for an arraignment on Wednesday afternoon. She is currently on probation for her 2007 drunken driving case. Judge Elden Fox warned Lohan she would visit a jail cell for six months if she got in trouble again. A felony grand theft charge is trouble.

Although the drug and alcohol news for Lindsay Lohan hasn't been much of a surprise for some, being accused of stealing a $2,500 necklace is a different story. It seemed to come out of nowhere. If Lohan, out after serving her 90 days at Betty Ford, can afford to rent a swanky apartment in Venice, California, why steal a necklace?

The case of child celebrities who get into trouble seems to be most severe with Lohan. She is the poster child for "troubled child star." A child star, turned adult, who has not gotten into trouble, such as Natalie Portman, is a refreshing change from the likes of a Lindsay Lohan or a Tatum O'Neal or a Corey Haim.

    I hope it's the last straw for her. She just doesn't get the picture and she deserves to be locked up and NOT get out this time. Great article!
