  • Lindsay Lohan Contracts Rare Virus

    Lindsay Lohan has been released from King Edward VII’s hospital in London where she was being treated for symptoms of Chikungunya virus.

    Chikungunya virus causes fever, joint paint, fatigue and a rash.

    Lindsay Lohan contracted the rare and untreatable disease from bug bites while in French Polynesia over Christmas.

    Lindsay Lohan was later filming a commercial for Esurance in Los Angeles when she became ill.

    While on her vacation, she filled her social media feeds with postcard-perfect pics of tropical paradise. However, her tune quickly changed after she became ill.

    She also encouraged her followers to use bug spray.

    Lindsay Lohan reportedly began complaining of intense joint pain and a fever and was admitted to the hospital when she returned to London.

    A source told the New York Daily News, “She could hardly stand up, she was in so much pain.”

    The source added, “She was getting better, but with all the travelling, it wore her down, so the virus acted up again. It was like a relapse.”

    Lindsay Lohan was allowed to go home today because her fever finally broke. Doctors have now referred the her to a specialist who treats the Chikungunya virus.

    The joint pain can apparently last for months, even though the fever may be gone.

    A source told TMZ that Lindsay’s mother, Tina, is on her way to London to care for her.

  • Lindsay Lohan Hospitalized After Crash With 18-Wheeler

    Lindsay Lohan was hospitalized earlier today after slamming her Porsche into the back of an 18-wheeler on the highway in L.A. Early reports say she has no life threatening injuries, but officials haven’t released what the cause of the accident was.

    Lohan reportedly told police the semi driver cut her off, making her not at-fault for the accident, which sent her passenger to the emergency room in an ambulance and left both of them cut up. TMZ published photos of the car after the accident, showing the windshield smashed in and the front of it looking fairly totaled.

    This isn’t the first automobile mishap for Lohan. Back in March she was allegedly involved in a hit-and-run outside a nightclub. Friends, fans, and family have long been concerned about her erratic behavior over the past few years, which includes drinking, shoplifting, and alleged drug use. Although she seems to be trying to move in the right direction of late–cleaning herself up and landing the role of Liz Taylor in the Lifetime movie “Liz And Dick“–this latest incident will no doubt have tongues wagging as to what exactly caused the accident and whether or not she was at fault.

    Fans on Twitter have begun using the hashtag #PrayForLindsay as they wait to hear of her condition.
