With the hottest scandal in Hollywood right now being Lindsay Lohan’s upcoming stint in jail for violating her probation, it’s hard not to think about the possibility of her trading hard time in Lynwood jail for something a little more, shall we say cushy, like the Beverly Hills pay-to-stay option. 

In fact, on Wednesday night she checked herself into the comfortable rehab facility Pickford Lofts, in hopes of gaining favor with Judge Marsha N. Revel (more on that later).

Lohan is reportedly due to turn herself in for jail time on Tuesday. Her recent move to Pickford indicates that she may be hoping for some charity in her 90-day sentence though.

But two questions come to mind.

First, does Lohan even know that the possibility of serving jail time while watching reality television on a big screen TV and listening to her iPod exists?  If not, someone tweet it, fast!

Second, in order to trade time in county jail for a pay-to-stay option, the judge presiding over the case must grant permission.

For Lindsay, this does not seem likely considering her relationship with Revel. Reading court transcripts and listening to the judge’s admonishments of Lindsay makes it clear that this Beverly Hills judge has no warm feelings for Lohan.  It’s also hard to believe Revel will have any sympathy for someone who once called rehab a “vacation.”

So, while the option to spend her days sprawled on the couch talking on the phone, and her nights tucked into a bunk lined with mink blankets, are indeed a possibility, it seems as though Lindsay will most likely have to pull a Paris and swap her Chanel jackets for orange jumpsuits at Lynwood. 

Whatever does happen, someone take pictures, please!
