Lindsay Lohan sued for $1m

Poor Lindsay Lohan is up to her neck in things again - this time she is being sued for $1m for apparently assaulting on an employee of the California rehab centre where she spent three months in treatment for drug and alcohol abuse.

The employee, Dawn Bradley, claims that that Lohan yelled at her, threw a phone, grabbed her wrist and twisted it - causing "significant injury" to her wrist as well as "post-traumatic stress syndrome requiring several therapy sessions" - while she was trying to make her do a breathalyser test in December at the Betty Ford Centre near Palm Springs.

the $1m is apparently for damages and medial expenses but Prosecutors in Riverside County have already dismissed the case once before this year because of a lack of evidence.

Despite the fact that her Hollywood career has been sliding downhill with her drug and alcohol problems she is due to start filming a movie about New York crime boss John Gotti in the fall with co-stars John Travolta and Al Pacino.
