Lindsay Lohan was treated for addiction in rehab in order to avoid a jail sentence. She tells Britain’s OK! magazine:

The second two times I went to rehab, to be honest with you, I had to go because it was a court thing. It was an obligation. I had to do it to stay out of getting any jail time. And I took responsibility for that.

She continues:

It was like a vacation. I love meeting new people and seeing what they’ve been experiencing. I met some great people. It was a nice time to shut everyone off for a while because there was so much noise. It was a positive experience.

The 23-year-old star is taking on a new venture. She’s writing an autobiography!

I write a lot and it’s very therapeutic for me because then I can see what’s happening on paper. I’ve started writing a book. It’s going to take a while, all my life experiences. I started writing it a year ago. There’s a lot to put down.

They say that’s the best way to come to terms with your emotions, so good for her. Would you read it?
