You've no doubt heard Lindsay Lohan has been sentenced to 90 days in the slammer (and then 90 days in rehab) for violating her probation stemmed from a 2007 drunk-driving arrest.

It is something I have worked for all my life." Did she blow it? Are both her life and career over? Not quite, and at the very least there will likely one day be a Tarantino in shining armor to save her from near obscurity (if not the Tarantino another director, maybe John Waters?). In the meantime, she's also not seeming to lose the few gigs she'd already lined up before heading back to court. One of those projects is the biopic Inferno: A Linda Lovelace Story, in which she is still cast as the titular former porn star. According to 24 Frames, the film's director, Matthew Wilder, says he'll wait for La Lohan to finish out her punishment and will not re-cast her part, despite being fully financed and ready to begin shooting now. Some of his willingness to delay filming for the troubled former child star may be that financiers put up money because she was attached. You also have to figure that anyone who wanted to work with her before the sentencing was already okay with her reputation, work ethic and other factors that could potentially hurt the production anyway.
