Racy Lohan Photo Shoot Pix Released

Aired August 06, 2010 - 20:00   ET

THIS IS A RUSH TRANSCRIPT. THIS COPY MAY NOT BE IN ITS FINAL FORM AND MAY BE UPDATED.


NANCY GRACE, HOST: Breaking news tonight. After Hollywood superstar Lindsay Lohan not only breaks the law repeatedly -- cocaine, booze, DUI, even dissing the judge when she was a no-show to court, sending the judge the message, "F You," she walks out of jail in the dark of night after just 13 days on a three-month sentence. That`s right, Lindsay Lohan walks. Now reports about Lohan whining about jail conditions, the smell, refusing to drink the water, terrified she`d catch a disease or an illness, whining the air is too cold, constantly begging to see the doctor.

Bombshell tonight. Lohan admitted to UCLA`s neuropsychiatric unit for 90 days court-ordered. Lohan under psychiatric and substance abuse treatment/care after Lohan tests positive for a cocktail of powerful painkillers including Dilaudid and Adderall. Lohan`s lawyer denying reports she`s addicted to meth and bipolar, but reports persist. Tight restrictions in place tonight at UCLA rehab, visitors, potential enablers under scrutiny, no cell phones, no celebrity treatment, or so they say.

Will Lohan`s history of one fancy rehab after the next play in? Tonight, in another stunning twist, it`s revealed that at the time Lohan was a no-show in front of the judge, Lohan`s actually posing for secret photos half-naked! We have the photos! I only wonder if the judge does. Well, she`ll have them tonight!

LINDSAY LOHAN, ACTRESS: You know, I was going through a hard time at one point.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: How`s Lindsay?

(CROSSTALK)

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Oh, that`s good news.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: The "Mean Girls" star is off to 90 days of rehab.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Lindsay is going to have a very strict visitor list.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: ... whisked away to rehab...

LOHAN: ... special treatment...

I was working with children...

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: The party`s over.

LOHAN: This is a blessing.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: ... which is a treatment center...

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: She`s a drug addict. She needs help.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: She`s given 90 days, she`s let out in 13.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: ... troubled starlet...

LOHAN: I wouldn`t be where I am without going through those ups and downs.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Lindsay, are you worried about going to jail at all?

LOHAN: I wasn`t expecting any special treatment.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: ... preferential treatment...

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: She`s a celebrity.

LOHAN: I`m sorry!

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: (INAUDIBLE) doing this kind of stuff (INAUDIBLE)

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: OK, now we have, like, everyone running in.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: ... has accepted responsibility...

LOHAN: It`s only going to be positive for me now.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

GRACE: And tonight, live, California. Sacramento neighbors get the shock of a lifetime when they spot a little boy hobbling across the street, begging for help, asking for a chain cutter. The little boy literally is shackled, chains padlocked around his neck and ankles, covered in bruises, legs, arms, neck. Tonight, we discovered Daddy and Stepmommy leave the little boy chained and padlocked to the kitchen table while they head to the casinos to gamble! I know one thing. Daddy and his wife, the stepmommy, just got a free one-way ticket to hell!

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: The little boy was walking, and he asked us for a chain cutter.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: ... a chain cutter, probably to free himself from the shackles police say the 13-year-old boy had been forced to wear for two days.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: This one is unthinkable.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: ... chained up by father John Vang (ph) and stepmother Thong Vu (ph).

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: The 13-year-old boy told Sacramento police that his father and stepmother chained him to a kitchen table while they went out gambling.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: He had bruising on both his legs, his arms...

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: He chained his ankles...

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: ... and his neck area from the chains.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: ... padlocks around his neck and ankles...

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: He used a key he had hidden to unlock himself and seek help.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: His chains were just, like, what, 12 inches apart, probably?

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: He did commit a burglary to a relative`s residence.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Punishment for doing something bad.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: His father was upset about that.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: The boy`s father and stepmother face false imprisonment, child cruelty charges.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

GRACE: Good evening, I`m Nancy Grace. I want to thank you for being with us. Bombshell tonight. Lindsay Lohan admitted to UCLA`s neuropsychiatric unit 90 days, court-ordered. In another stunning twist tonight, it`s revealed that at the time Lohan is a no-show in front of the judge, she`s actually posing in secret for a photo shoot half naked. We have the photos!

(END VIDEO CLIP)

LOHAN: It did wake me up.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: ... 90 days in jail.

LOHAN: It scared me.

(CROSSTALK)

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: OK, thank you.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Her 13-day jail stint...

LOHAN: I take responsibility for my actions.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Lohan was arrested twice for DUI.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: She was subsequently arrested for driving under the influence again.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: The 90-day sentence...

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: ... 90-day jail sentence...

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: ... 90 days...

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: ... 90 days...

LOHAN: I come back here making you happy and the court system.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: ... 90 days in rehab...

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: ... her substance abuse issues...

LOHAN: I`ve learned from my experiences.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: She`s still on drugs.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: She`ll be continuously tested...

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: She`s been on multiple medications.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Bottom line is, she`s in rehab.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: She`s going to be here for the whole 90 days.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: So much for that 90-day sentence.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: She has to take this seriously. I warned her before.

LOHAN: You know, you live and you learn, and that`s what`s great about growing up.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: You look (ph) very serious.

LOHAN: You only live once.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: There`s never any repercussion for her actions.

LOHAN: It`s kind of incredible. It`s very overwhelming.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

GRACE: We are taking your calls. Straight out to Mike Walker with "The National Enquirer," author of "Get Real, The Untold Story." Mike, you know, every time I open up your mag, it`s one story after the next after Lindsay Lohan -- about Lindsay Lohan, and they`re all new. It never ends. Tonight, she`s in basically lockdown in a neuropsychiatric unit. What more can you tell us?

MIKE WALKER, "NATIONAL ENQUIRER": Well, it`s wonderful that the judge had the presence of mind not to send her to Morningside. Morningside promises -- all of these places are kind of like -- I call them resort rehabs. In other words, you go to rehab and you`re a celebrity, and you tell them what to do.

The neuropsychiatric center at UCLA, quite a different story. No belts, no shoes, no Twitter, no tweeting. You`re in lockdown, basically. It`s not like a jail, but you know, you don`t go anywhere. Whereas at Morningside, Lindsay could have gone off on weekend shopping trips with her mom.

And you`re talking about her naked, it reminds me -- I`ll give you an example, Nancy, of how lax these resorts rehabs are. I reported a couple of years ago on one of the rehabs, I think it was in Malibu, where Lindsay was walking around naked -- naked -- and laughing about it with her friend, saying, I was driving all the boys crazy. In fact, two men at the facility actually started a fistfight over her attention. That`s how loose and lax it is.

And you know where you can really get drugs? In those resort rehabs. You know why? Because your friends go to visit you, and they can bring you anything. They don`t search them. They don`t do anything. So it`s lucky she`s where she can now finally get some help.

GRACE: Everybody, you are seeing -- along with Mike Walker, of course, who`s reporting on this, you are seeing the shots that Lindsay Lohan took while she was supposed to be in court. Most of them we`re having to mosaic (ph) out or blur out so they are suitable to air on television. These are photos from TMZ of Lohan in Marc Ecko`s "Cut and Sew (ph)" campaign. Some of them, to me, Mike Walker, appear to not just be nude shots or half-nude shots, but disturbing, I mean, emotionally and mentally disturbing shots of a woman that so desperately needs help.

WALKER: Some of those shots -- I don`t know which ones you`re looking at. There is one that is just horrifying, where she`s standing against a wall, and there`s blood behind her, I mean, for one of these movies that she`s doing. And you know, she would tell you that what she`s trying to do is get on with her career. But the trouble is, this woman -- this young woman needs to get into right where she is right now, Resnick (ph) neuropsychiatric. It`s the only chance she`s going to have for help. If she doesn`t get out of this one alive, Nancy, she`s finished.

GRACE: UCLA neuropsychiatric unit is where Lohan has landed. The judge would not even allow her 24 hours between jail and the psych unit. This is suggesting to many professionals that it`s not just a rehab problem, it is a rehab or a drug addiction problem with -- along with a psychiatric problem.

We are taking your calls. To Barbara in Florida. Hi, Barbara.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Hi, Nancy. You know, I`m just -- I just don`t think that this is going to help her at all. I think with her celebrity status, do you think that even some of the nurses might slip her extra prescription drugs or that she would still be able to get her hands on some kind of drugs there?

GRACE: To Alexis Tereszcuk. What about Barbara`s question? Alexis joining us from Radaronline.com. Alexis, that`s specifically why the judge put her in UCLA lockdown for psychiatric and addiction problems. Is there a chance?

ALEXIS TERESZCUK, RADARONLINE.COM: I don`t know that there`s a chance that the nurses are going to give her extra drugs. That`s what the judge was concerned about, though, that her friends would bring her drugs if she was in Morningside. UCLA is a much stricter location. It has security guards. You know, people are going to have to go through many checkpoints while they`re going in there. It`s not like an airport, but they are definitely going to have to go through a lot, and they`re not going to have drugs.

GRACE: Hey, Mike Walker, what do you know about the security? We understand that it`s extremely tight, and it`s even been tightened for Lindsay Lohan.

WALKER: It has. They`ve gotten even tighter. They had a nice dry run, if you remember, a few years ago, when Britney Spears was a visitor at that same facility. And of course, Britney was brought in. She was in terrible shape. She was kicking, screaming, spitting, striking at people. And they put her in -- they actually have a padded facility in there. So they can handle just about any problem. But yes, they have -- we are hearing that they have tightened security even more.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

LOHAN: Everyone`s entitled to their opinion.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: She can do what she wants.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: After just 13 days, Lindsay Lohan is out.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: It`s called jail overcrowding.

LOHAN: I was being in compliant with my program.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: The girl is still on antidepressants.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: No one`s ever going to hold her accountable for her actions.

LOHAN: I`m never going to stop doing that.

LOHAN: I just wanted to take a minute to say that, you know, I -- as far as I knew, I was being in compliant with my program, right (ph) on programs. You know, when I would ask to leave town, they would give me permission to leave town. So that`s all that I knew that was coming to me. I wasn`t expecting any special treatment, aside from the understanding that I have -- I have to provide for myself. I have to work. And my schedule - - you know, unfortunately, it`s very different. And they were willing to work with me on that. That was the only kind of special treatment that, you know, if anything, they would give me, is trying to kind of balance their schedules with mine, which I really appreciated.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

LOHAN: Hi, I`m Lindsay Lohan.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: ... has accepted responsibility...

GRACE: After just 13 days of a three-month sentence...

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: That`s 90 days in jail.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: She will now be under the supervision of the LA County Probation Department.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: ... just 13 days behind bars...

GRACE: Lindsay Lohan...

LOHAN: I screwed up.

GRACE: ... walks!

LOHAN: I understand I`m not allowed to drink.

Honestly, it did wake me up. Yes, of course, it scared me.

GRACE: The judge did not want her to have any time between jail and going to rehab.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: ... there`s alcohol and cocaine...

LOHAN: Sounds bad, and I hope it doesn`t happen again.

GRACE: ... concerned that she would get back on booze and pills...

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: ... resolute, and she`s doing it...

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: We know that rehab in the past hasn`t worked.

LOHAN: Everyone has their ups and downs.

(INAUDIBLE) able to start a film again, so I can have this all put behind me.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

GRACE: For those of you just joining us, we learned that superstar Lindsay Lohan has now been sent to UCLA neuropsychiatric unit for a court- ordered 90 days lockdown. And tonight, we also learn that when she was a no-show in front of the judge a couple of weeks ago -- she blamed volcanic ash, she blamed someone stole her passport, she couldn`t get a flight back. Tonight, we learn that she was posing in secret for photos, a photo shoot where she appears at least half naked.

We are taking your calls. I want to go back to Mike Walker with "The National Enquirer," author of "Get Real, The Untold Story." Mike, what about this photo shoot? Apparently, the judge had no idea that Lindsay was half naked in front of a camera when she was supposed to be in (ph) judge. But she`s going to know tonight.

WALKER: Oh, she is, and -- but I don`t think there`s much she can do about it now. I suppose there is. What we`d like to see her do -- I was just talking to my colleague from Radar, and we both think what the judge should do is bar her mother from visiting her. We feel that her mother has enabled a lot of this stuff.

She complains about her father, Michael, who is no walk in the park, but her mother, Dina, has some influence over here, and I think she`s not a good influence on her daughter. She lets her daughter get away with telling other people what to do. And you know, she should have said to her daughter, What are you talking about, doing nude shoots before you go into rehab and jail? What do you think the judge is going to think about that? So you`re right, Nancy. You know, it`s a shocking thing.

GRACE: Everybody, here`s the photos from TMZ of Lindsay Lohan in Marc Ecko`s "Cut and Sew" campaign.

Unleash the lawyers, Peter Odom, Atlanta, Peter Elikann, defense attorney, author of "Superpredators," out of the Boston jurisdiction, and Eleanor Odom, felony prosecutor out of Atlanta.

To you, Eleanor. The judge does have the ability to, let me say, strike back over this, if she wants to. Lindsay Lohan is still under her control, under probation.

ELEANOR ODOM, PROSECUTOR: You`re exactly right, Nancy. And the judge can do whatever she wants as long as the case is under her. And she can totally curtail the visitors, which would be the best thing, in this case.

GRACE: Or if she finds out that Lohan lied to her about where she was, that she was in the middle of a nude photo shoot, she could completely revoke the probation and order more constraints and even jail time for lying to the court, couldn`t she, Eleanor?

ELEANOR ODOM: Yes, exactly. She could go back to jail, and she could put even more conditions on, perhaps more rehab, more random drug testing. She could add whatever conditions she wants.

GRACE: To Peter Odom, defense attorney, Atlanta. Peter, any likelihood the judge is going to strike back?

PETER ODOM, DEFENSE ATTORNEY: No, Nancy. This judge knows exactly what she`s doing. She knows that this is a young woman who needs drug rehab, and the judge has put her in the Resnick Center at UCLA. This is serious business. You know, a couple weeks there, and Britney`s going to be wishing that she was back in jail. That`s...

GRACE: You said Britney.

PETER ODOM: ... a tough place with some tough rules.

GRACE: You said Britney. Get your blondes...

PETER ODOM: Oh, I`m sorry. A Freudian slip.

GRACE: ... straight.

PETER ODOM: It`s Lindsay Lohan. Thank you. And I apologize.

GRACE: Weigh in, Elikann!

PETER ODOM: But Lindsay`s going to be wishing she was back in jail.

PETER ELIKANN, DEFENSE ATTORNEY: Yes, Nancy, I agree. I think that the judge is going to let things lie for the moment. She got the taste of jail, now she`s in this -- now she`s in this rehab program. I think all eyes are on her to see how this works, if it works at all. And I think the judge is going to monitor this very strictly. If this doesn`t work, then the wrath of God could fall on Lindsay. But I think the judge is going to give this a chance.

GRACE: OK, Dr. Bethany Marshall, psychoanalyst, author of "Dealbreakers," not only flout the judge`s order, not only send the judge the message "F you," but then to find out that the reason she wasn`t in court, it wasn`t because of volcanic ash, she didn`t lose her passport, she didn`t miss her flight, she was posing nude, half naked, for a photo shoot.

BETHANY MARSHALL, PSYCHOANALYST: Nancy, addicts have three characteristic personality qualities. One is a sense of victimization. The second is they lack a sense of the adverse consequences of their actions. And the third is that they are in denial. And that`s what I see when I see these photos.

But the other thing is that prolonged substance abuse causes problems with the prefrontal cortex. That is the braking system in the brain. That is the part of the brain that helps you make good decisions. That`s why she needs to be an NPI (ph) so that she can have treatment to see if she`s dual diagnosis, to see if she has bipolar, to see if she`s on the right medications, and to detox.

GRACE: Out to the lines. Phyllis, Pennsylvania. Hi, Phyllis.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Hi, Nancy. You`re such a doll! I just wanted to know, if Lindsay Lohan tests positive for drugs or alcohol during her probation, will she go back to jail?

GRACE: What about it, Eleanor?

ELEANOR ODOM: If she does, she will go back to jail because that`s a condition of probation, straight to jail.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

LOHAN: I`m out all the time (INAUDIBLE) responsible.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: It hasn`t even been two weeks, and Lindsay Lohan is already out of the slammer.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: We know that rehab in the past hasn`t worked.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: She did go to rehab three times, going back three years ago.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: She`s an addict.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: It seems like the world`s just obsessed with everything that you do.

LOHAN: I`m flattered.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: ... 30 days in jail on the reckless driving case...

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Are you kidding me?

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: ... 30 days in jail on the first DUI case, consecutive...

LOHAN: I don`t believe this!

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: ... and 30 days in jail on the second DUI case, consecutive.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: She`s so annoying.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: That`s 90 days in jail.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Yes, right.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: She was ushered through a little a crush of photographers.

LOHAN: I know they`re going to take my picture, the paparazzi.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

GRACE: Tonight, we learn that during the time she was fabricating stories as to why she couldn`t come to court, a no-show in front of the judge, we learn Lindsay Lohan posing for a photo shoot half-naked, and as well for a "GQ" photo shoot around the time she was supposed to be in court. Here`s the results.

The judge -- I don`t know if she`s gotten these photos yet, but she`ll certainly have them tonight. Will there be repercussions? This as we learn Lindsay Lohan ordered to 90 days in the neuropsychiatric unit of UCLA`s Medical Center.

To Dr. Andrew J. Scott -- excuse me, Andrew J. Scott, former chief of police, Boca Raton. What do you make of the possibility people are slipping her dope while in the psychiatric unit?

ANDREW J. SCOTT, FORMER CHIEF OF POLICE, BOCA RATON: It`s a very real possibility, Nancy. However, given where she is at, a very professional facility, I think it`s going to be more difficult than some of these other rehab centers that we discussed earlier in the show. So I think there`s a possibility, but it`s diminished significantly, but I wouldn`t doubt that it could possibly occur.

GRACE: Let`s pull up some of the photos of the rehab centers Lindsay Lohan has already frequented. Now, I believe the last one was named The Grove, isn`t that right, Mike Walker?

WALKER: Yes. She`s been at The Grove. She was at the -- I can`t think of the name of the facility in, is it, Iowa or Utah, and then, of course, Promises, in Malibu.

GRACE: There`s one the -- Cirque. Now there`s the one in Malibu. Which one is that, Ellie?

WALKER: Promises.

GRACE: Promises. Right. Yes. Oh, yes, that`s a popular one. OK. Have you seen the photos of Promises? Dana (ph), where are my photos? I want to see the photos of The Grove. That`s The Grove. I recognize it now. You just kind of wander in and out. It looks like a mansion, sitting there. You know, it looks like it`s right off the streets of Beverly Hills. Then you`ve got Cirque. And then you`ve got -- what was the other one? Excuse -- Wonderland. What is Wonderland, Mike Walker? What is that?

WALKER: Wonderland is another facility. Just the name alone, Wonderland -- this is a place where celebrities walk in and tell the doctors what they`re going to do.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Actress Lindsay Lohan now in rehab.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Lindsay Lohan is out of jail.

LOHAN: It`s so silly. Who cares?

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: She was released from jail overnight.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: It was under the cover of darkness, middle of the night...

LOHAN: I want to be a good role model.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

UNIDENIFIED MALE: Lindsay Lohan --

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Hi!

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Lindsay Lohan is out of jail.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Lindsay Lohan was released from custody at 1:35.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I just want to start a film so I can put this behind me.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: She was released after spending just 13 days behind bars.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: What is the biggest misconception about Lindsay Lohan?

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: That I`m out all the time and I`m irresponsible.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Sent directly to her next destination, which is a treatment center.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: You know that rehab in the past hasn`t worked.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Everyone has their ups and downs.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: She did go to rehab three times, going back three years ago.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: She is an addict.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I don`t believe that.

UNIDENTIFEID MALE: We know that rehab in the past hasn`t worked.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I got into this because I enjoy acting, not because I enjoy going to court.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I appreciate what right on programs has done so much to help me finish early, because I wanted to make sure that I would come back here making you happy and the court system.

And show that I meant everything that I put into it and going more than once in a week, I would try to do that, only because if I knew I had to work the next week, I figured -- and as far as I knew, they were OK with this.

And it was still in compliance if I did three in a week or two in a week, it would make up for the fact if I had to work the next week, that`s why I wouldn`t be there, because I`ve already done them now.

So I thought as far as I knew, that was in compliance so if I had been taken aside and told that in detail, that would have been a different story.

I`m not taking this as a joke. It`s my life and it`s my career, and something I`ve worked for my entire life. And, you know, I`ve learned from my experiences. I take responsibility for my actions.

And I`ve tried to do the best I can in the past few weeks since I was here last, which is the only time I`ve been in -- you know, present in front of a judge in any of my situations in terms of this specific case.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

NANCY GRACE, CNN HOST: Brett, please open up the camera to the control room. Dana, I believe we`ve seen enough of Lindsay Lohan in a bra and underwear.

You can stop showing it now, please. Nod your head yes if you understand. OK, Brett, I hold you responsible, too. Your finger is on the button. Thank you.

OK, we are taking your calls, to Jennifer in New Jersey. Hi, Jennifer.

CALLER: Hi, Nancy. I just wanted to know if Lindsay Lohan has a drug problem, and UCLA doesn`t have a drug program, why is she there?

GRACE: You know, to Dr. Eric Braverman, founder of Path Medical Center. Dr. Braverman, she is right, which has led many journalists and reporters to believe that she is there for a psychiatric problem that has likely been exacerbated because of drug and alcohol.

DR. ERIC BRAVERMAN, M.D. FOUNDER OF PATH MEDICAL CENTER, NYC: Well, there is a school of thought that views almost all addiction as underlying psychiatric disease and I agree with that school.

A lot of these rehab centers think you can get off with only a 12-step program, and basically withdraw off cocaine and marijuana. But people tend to use cocaine because they have attention deficit disorder, depression, they use marijuana because they`re anxious.

They use alcohol because they`re shy, socially phobic and tense. So as a general rule, almost every addict has underlying neuropsychiatric or brain problems. So you would ultimately, a lot of people believe you can treat them effectively if you can get them stabilized.

Obviously, this girl has bipolar or some type of bipolar attributes or more, and she has histrionic and antisocial and rule breaking --

GRACE: What`s histrionic?

BRAVERMAN: Like a drama queen and she`s got --

GRACE: Wait a minute, wait a minute, histrionic doesn`t sound like an illness.

BRAVERMAN: No, no but histrionic - you know, when you add it with antisocial and then you add it with border line, and then you add it with bipolar, and then you add it with her on Adderall.

And then you add it with cocaine, and then you add it with all- night parties, and then you add it with poor living habits and poor eating habits and, you know, you end up with basically almost a dangerous criminal, to some degree.

GRACE: What about it, Dr. Bethany Marshall? Agree with Dr. Braverman?

BETHANY MARSHALL, PSYCHOANALYST, AUTHOR OF "DEALBREAKERS": I completely agree with him, and that`s why MPI is the best place for her, because most addicts are what we call dual diagnosis, that the substances are used to treat a co-occurring psychiatric disorder.

And you asked about those photographs. When she was supposed to be going to her DUI classes, that colossal lack of judgment, some of the poor grooming that you see when she is in court, the poor insight into what is about to happen to her, the excessive bursts of energy that go along with the all-night partying.

And the stimulants she is using, which one uses to cover up for fragmentation, may suggest, like a bipolar type picture. And that`s what they really want to evaluate for in this psychiatric setting.

GRACE: Mike Walker, joining us with the "National Enquirer," the author of "Get Real, The Untold Story."

Mike, what do you make of the suggestion by our caller, Jennifer from New Jersey? Why is she in this unit if not for psychiatric problems? And we know she has drug and alcohol problems.

MIKE WALKER, NATIONAL ENQUIRER, AUTHOR, "GET REAL: THE UNTOLD STORY": Because they know how to strip all the drugs away from her. They`ll diagnose, you know, why she needs all these drugs, which have been approved.

The court is allowing her to take, you know, Zoloft and Trazodone and all these things, Dilaudid and once they start weaning her off this, they can look at the underlying problems, the psychiatric problems the doctors were talking about.

Because is she bipolar? They won`t know whether she is bipolar until they get her off all these drugs, and then can look at the person. And then they`ll start to see the problems that are making her take all these drugs.

GRACE: Michael, we were showing an earlier shot. It wasn`t The Grove. It`s Pickford loft. I had it wrong. It`s Pickford loft that she was walking into. But there`s been one after the next. About how long would she stay at each of these? Would she actually finish the program?

WALKER: A month -- no. A month or two and once she got bored, wouldn`t she didn`t like the take-out at the various restaurants around that area -- and I`m being sarcastic. She could move on and she could move on when she wanted to move on, and she could have anybody visit when she wanted to.

That`s why drugs go out in and out of the so called celebrity reha places like crazy. I mean, drug dealers have told me that, hey, that`s the place where people who take drugs are, we want to get in there.

And they`re aware of these celebrities friends and they know how to give drugs to these celebrities` friends to get to the celebrities.

GRACE: Out to the lines. Courtney in California. Hi, Courtney.

CALLER: Hello, Nancy. I would like to know. Can she get out -- can she get out of rehab under 90 days, like she did jail, or does she have to spend the whole 90 days?

GRACE: You know, that`s a good question. Eleanor Odom, the judge has sentenced her to 90 days in rehab. Alexis, isn`t that correct, 90 days at UCLA?

ALEXIS TERESZCUK, RADARONLINE: Yes, 90 days and she is actually going to have to serve all of them. You don`t get out of rehab early for good behavior or overcrowding in rehab, which she got -- that`s how she got out of jail.

She is going to be in a facility for 90 days. It may not be UCLA the entire time. She might do 30 or 40 days there and move on to somewhere else. But that`s not going to get shortened.

GRACE: What about it, Eleanor. Will it be different from the jail sentence from where she did 13 days on a three-month sentence?

ELEANOR ODOM, SEX CRIMES PROSECUTOR: It will, Nancy, because in jail, the sheriff makes those determinations of how much good time if what it`s called that you`re going to get and that`s why she got out early. The sheriff doesn`t control the psychiatric facility.

GRACE: Dr. Bethany Marshall, if she regresses at UCLA Neuropsychiatric, can they keeper longer than 90 days?

MARSHALL: Well, I think they could. But one of the good things about a program like that is that if she regresses, then they can really take a good look at what`s happening psychiatrically.

And they`ll prescribe aftercare for her too so she can go to a halfway house or treatment facility. She can have on going group care, partial day treatment, so she doesn`t have to be on her own when the treatment is over at the hospital.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Police in Sacramento said they found a 13-year-old boy wrapped in chains, pleading for help.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Wandering around with chains, padlocked to his neck and ankles.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: He lived at the home with his father and stepmother.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: It`s kind of scary.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Allegedly chained to the kitchen table, for days.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: He had bruising, both to his legs, arms and neck area from the chains.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: He realized that they were getting ready to go out gambling at a local casino.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: His father and stepmother chained him to a kitchen table while they went out gambling.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: The teen also told police his father hit him while he was helpless to defend himself.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Being a quick-thinking boy, he decided to hide the key on his person.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: The 13-year-old, who ends up wandering the neighborhood, chains around neck, ankles --

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: He released himself and fled out the house.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: A friend of mine had came over, and she said, hey, what are all those news media doing out there? And I had no idea they were out there, and because I`m nosey, I went out there -- we have a quiet neighborhood, and asked them why they were there, and they told me what was going on, and I was really shocked.

GRACE: Straight out to Tim Lantz, reporter 1520 KFBK. Tim Lantz, a padlock? Chains?

TIM LANTZ, REPORTER NEWSTALK 1530 KFBK (via phone): Well, that`s what they`re telling us now, Nancy. In fact, this was considered to be a form of punishment for this boy by his father.

At least that`s what the police investigation shows, at this point. Apparently, the boy had stolen a computer and a TV from his grandmother`s home, and his mother considered him to be uncontrollable, so that`s how the father decided to respond.

GRACE: Really? Because that`s not what I`m hearing. I`m hearing that chains and a padlock were used on this boy to chain him to the kitchen table, so mommy -- step mommy and daddy could go gambling at the casinos.

What do we know? To Sergeant Norm Leong, Sacramento Police Department. Welcome Sergeant, what do we know?

SERGEANT NORM LEONG, SACRAMENTO POLICE DEPARTMENT (via phone): Well, that`s true. On the last day of him being chained, the parents were planning on going to the casino. They left the house, but the boy had kept a key so he was able to escape.

But prior to that, he had been chained for several days, and the chaining was a result of a burglary that the child had committed and the father punishing him.

GRACE: So he took his grandmother`s laptop. They chained him to the kitchen table, and now I`m learning it was for days on end?

I didn`t know that part. He was chained to the kitchen table for days on end? We are taking your calls out to Shantel in Michigan. Hi, dear.

CALLER: Hey, Nancy, I`m just so angry they did this to this little boy. And I was wondering, was there any signs of sexual abuse?

GRACE: Good question, to Tim Lantz, reporter 1530 Newstalk KFBK, you know, when there is child abuse of this nature, it is very often hand-in- hand with other forms of abuse. What do we know?

LANTZ: Nancy, at this time we know that Child Protective Services, in addition to the police investigation, will be conducting their own investigation.

The police report indicated that the boy appeared to have been abused. Keep in mind, he was not hospitalized, and they didn`t consider him to have been injured from this particular incident with the chains. But it did appear as though he was abused at one point or another.

GRACE: At one point or another. I wonder what that is supposed to mean. To Kelly in Florida. Hi, Kelly, what`s your question?

CALLER: Hi, Nancy. Thanks for taking my call.

GRACE: Thank you for calling in, dear.

CALLER: Now, I know that the boy could roam around the home when he wasn`t chained to the table, but he never called anybody.

That suggests to me that he might have been abused for a long time. If they find out that he was, could they be charged with more charges?

GRACE: To Sergeant Norm Leong, Sacramento Police Department, joining us tonight. Sergeant, could he roam around?

LEONG: Yes, there were times when he was just chained from his ankle to his neck area, and was allowed to move around the house in his room, as well.

GRACE: Wait, wait, wait. Let me get this straight. So it`s somehow better to be chained from the neck to the ankle, and you get to roam around to your room.

I`m not really buying into that. Sergeant, have there been charges? I assume you put these people in jail, Sergeant.

LEONG: Yes, they were arrested the next morning, because they weren`t home that night and they`re facing criminal charges due in court August 9th.

GRACE: Is it true, Sergeant, that they have bonded out?

LEONG: They did -- they did bail out.

GRACE: How? How much was the bond?

LEONG: You know, I`m not sure what the bond was, but they were able to get out that next day.

GRACE: It`s my understanding it`s $60,000 bond for daddy, $50,000 for step mommy, and we all know -- unleash the lawyers.

Eleanor Odom, Peter Ellick in Boston. Peter Odom, attorney out of the Atlanta jurisdiction. We know -- Eleanor, that on a $60,000 bond, you`ve only got to put up 10 percent and you`re out.

ELEANOR ODOM: Exactly or you might be able to put up a property bond and put up your house as a bond. So that`s easy to do a lot of times.

GRACE: Peter Ellick, they are out walking tonight. I don`t understand in a case like this, why are they out?

PETER ELLICK: A lot of people don`t understand. Bail is not actually punishment. Bail is usually they don`t trust you`re going to come back or they think you`re so dangerous out there on the street. You`re a danger to the public.

If they think they`re not going to a risk of flight or they`re not going to be attacking people on the street, they get bailed out. They haven`t been found guilty yet.

GRACE: No, no, no. Peter Ellick, the rest of the statute reads, danger to the public or to the victim or to witnesses in the case.

This boy is a witness in the case. Is he not, Peter Odom? You don`t think they present a danger to him? They`ve had him chained up for God knows how long.

PETER ODOM, DEFENSE ATTORNEY: If the boy can be protected, the parents can be protected from the boy, and the boy can be protected from the parents, then Nancy, they are entitled to bail because they are innocent under our system there, presumed innocent.

GRACE: Why did you just say if the parents can be protected from the boy? They`re the ones that had him chained with a padlock and chained to the kitchen table. Why do they need protection?

PETER ODOM: If the parents can be assured -- if the court can be assured they`re coming to court, Nancy, they are entitled to bail.

GRACE: That`s not what you said.

PETER ODOM: You`re right, I misspoke. But that`s our constitution.

GRACE: Why don`t you just yell that out when you don`t have anything else to say. You`re presumed innocent, you`re going to go down swinging, aren`t you, Odom. Bethany Marshall, help me. Help me. Why?

MARSHALL: I think that this little boy is being re-victimized by the system, because he told on his parents, and now they`re walking freely about in society. He must be terrorized.

And it just sickens me to hear in the reporting that they treated him this way, because he burglarized his grandmother. That`s not why he treated them -- they treated him this way. They treated him this way because they`re sadists and controlling and domineering and abusers. That`s why they did it.

GRACE: Well, John Vang, 31, Thong Vu, the stepmother, age 34. One- way ticket to hell. You just won it.

Right now, CNN Heroes.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Mississippi has held the title of being the most obese state for six consecutive years. My sister passed away at the age of 54.

Cancer took her life, but obesity restricted her from living it. You have made a commitment for a healthy community. Let`s walk!

I knew that I wanted to do something to help people like her who wish they could live a better life. My name is Linda Fondren and I challenged my community to a 17,000-pound weight loss challenge.

Go girl, go. Good job. The 17-week -- I asked the 50,000 people in Pittsburgh to only lose a half a pound. They beat the challenge.

So you made it. You`re there.

I decided to make the challenge permanent because we did not reach enough people. We have a walking club and nutrition program. On Saturday, the gym is open for free.

Change stations, everybody.

You have to give them the tools and opportunity to want to do better. They will jump at that chance to do better.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: She takes no prisoners. She`s committed to community involvement, as we wrap our arms around this obesity issue.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I decided to get off the couch.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: There you go, I like that.

Obesity affects us all. The only way to combat it is to stand together and help each other. We need to make a commitment to change.
