Lindsay Lohan’s back in the news, and trending again on Twitter. As usual it’s for all the wrong reasons.

The troubled starlet, who has been working on filming an Elizabeth Taylor biopic called “Liz & Dick,” was found unresponsive in a Los Angeles hotel room, KABC news reported. The station initially reported she had been rushed to the hospital, then rescinded that detail.

Her representatives then issued a statement to media outlets including Entertainment Weekly, explaining that Lohan was merely overtaxed due to a demanding work schedule and suffering from the twin ailments that frequently seem to vex certain entertainers: dehydration and exhaustion.

Here it is:

“Lindsay worked a grueling schedule the past few days. She was on set last night at 7 p.m. and worked through the night until 8 a.m. this morning. She took a nap before shooting her final scene. Producers were concerned when she did not come out of her room and called paramedics as a precaution. Lindsay was examined and is fine, but did suffer some exhaustion and dehydration. Lindsay was never taken to a hospital; reports to the contrary are false. She is resting now and is hoping to be back on set later this afternoon.”

So, as you were.
