Dr. Drew Pinsky talked with “Extra” on Tuesday about Lindsay Lohan and how she struck a plea deal that requires 90 days in a locked rehab facility. The deal stems from charges related to a June car crash.


Dr. Drew said, “God bless Judge Dabney for finally requiring her through the courts to get treatment. This should save her life,” pointing out that LiLo can “only leave when cleared by the medical director. I promise you she will not be ready in 90 days.”

As for reports Lindsay was out partying last night, Pinsky is not surprised. “When someone is planning on going into treatment, they will frequently go out for a last hurrah.”
