The industry also views her recent stint at Promises in Malibu with skepticism. The celeb-friendly rehab has a reputation, deserved or not, for being indulgent. ''It's so luxurious and the celebrities are so coddled, it's like a four-star hotel,'' says an industry source who knows one person who has sought treatment there twice. Kathy Griffin makes a joke about it in her stand-up act, calling it ''total fake bulls--- celebrity rehab.'' But Ken Seeley, who conducts interventions on addicts for the A&E series Intervention, says Lohan's relapse represents her own failure, not the facility's. ''She had some of the best doctors in the world,'' he says. ''I know a lot of people in the sober community who went through Promises.'' The problem, he says, is that Lohan has not taken responsibility for her actions. ''I predict it's only going to get worse,'' he adds. ''There's a pattern to the disease of addiction, and she's just following the pattern. The only thing that's going to save her is when she hits rock bottom.''

The light on the horizon is that if Lohan does recover, she has a chance at resurrection. ''Is she hireable again?'' asks the studio head. ''I can't imagine under what circumstances, but I never say never. Lots of people have second acts.'' Lohan's may come from a very unlikely source. James Robinson, the producer of Georgia Rule, famously wrote her a letter scolding her for her lack of professionalism on the set. Now, he says, he would hire her again ''in a heartbeat.'' ''She's a good person who's making some bad choices. She needs time to get the proper medical care, [but] when she's in the right emotional state, I'd put her in a movie right away.... She's probably one of the most talented young women in the movie business today.'' Or was. What happens next is up to her.
