Let the soap dropping fun begin, because Lindsay Lohan was unexpectedly denied bail and remanded into custody this morning pending a full probation hearing.
A date for that hearing has not been set, but must take place within 30 days. So she could be sitting in jail until Oct. 23, which wouldn't shock us that this point.
The move by our new hero, Judge Elden Fox, comes as a surprise because he could have revoked the train wreck's probation immediately and sent her to jail.
Lindsay was all smiles en route to court. Oh, how quickly that changed.
By doing so, however, he inadvertently would have let her off the hook.
Due to severe overcrowding, Lindsay would likely have been processed and cut loose on the spot, a sadly customary occurrence for many non-violent criminals.
Therefore, by remanding her without bail until the hearing - at which point she'll be jailed and released due to overcrowding - the judge ensures she does time.
Clever, and for the best. After all, if you're drunk Tweeting about failed drug tests and clearly can't take responsibility, then this last resort may be the only one.
