"She was so sweet, while packing for the airport to go to New York she took the time to sign posters to raise money for a Japan fund," Hjelmbak, a close friend of Lohan's, exclusively told RadarOnline.com.
"She is so strong despite everything she has been through, she is holding up in a situation where most people would break."

Just last week the 24-year-old formally notified Judge Keith Schwartz that she would not be taking a plea deal that would have included jail time. Lindsay will now appear in front of Judge Stephanie Sautner on April 22 for her preliminary hearing.

But, despite her legal woes Lindsay is keeping her chin up and trying to use her celebrity to the best of her ability, to help others, says her friend.
"She is truly the most talked about celebrity and she has superstar power," Clause said. "I'm working with Poul to raise funds for Japan, and when Lindsay heard she jumped straight in to help.
"Poul has designed a special shirt and part of the proceeds will be donated to The American Red Cross For Japan.
"Poul gave Lindsay one of his shirts and she will be wearing it to help raise awareness for the cause - with her help and the publicity it will bring, we should be able to raise so much more money.

she looks tired and old. hopefully she wasn't clubbing at Avenue in NY last night as is being rumored. if so, not cool and not smart. can't believe she isn't being drug or alcholol tested cuz probation was revoked.

"still taking time..." hahaha, that's rich. Should read "FINALLY taking time...". And the only reason she's appears so "strong" is because she too STUPID to realize how much trouble she's in. Lohan = TOTALLY DELUSIONAL.

Why is it that she doesn't have time to help out when she is not in trouble. Always at the clubs and never any time for charities. Why Now Lindsay? So transparent! Hi Dina, we know your lurking!

Surely we all know that she is just overflowing with the milk of human kindness! What a hot! Did her handlers think anyone would be impressed by this??? Seriously?????

Bless her saintly little heart. Bet they weren't counting on her looking like a crackhead in her Pepto Bismol photo op shirt, oopsie. She's always got an ace up her sleeve, that unpredictable Lindsay.
