Lohan Idol rehab

(BANG) - Lindsay Lohan is spending her time in rehab watching 'American Idol'.

The 'Mean Girls' star - who checked herself into the Wonderland Center in Los Angeles' Laurel Canyon on Wednesday (17.01.07) following an all-night drinking binge at the Golden Globe Awards - is relaxing by watching the talent contest.

Speaking to OK! magazine Lindsay said: "I'm doing so great, thanks. I'm fine. Nothing to worry about.

"Thank you so much for checking in, I do appreciate it. I'm actually watching 'American Idol' at the moment and laughing so hard!"

The 'Just My Luck' star's mother, Dina Lohan, has revealed her daughter is on an outpatient programme at the Wonderland Center.

Dina said: "Everything's great and she's just getting a grip on her life.

"It's an outpatient programme where, of course, she'll be in for the first week or two.

"Then she'll pick up the film again and start working and have someone with her and all is good.

"As a parent I couldn't be more pleased and proud."

Filming of Lindsay's current project 'I Know Who Killed Me' has been temporarily suspended, but she plans to return to the set as soon as possible.

The 20-year-old was discovered passed out in a corridor of the Beverly Wilshire hotel at 6am on Tuesday (16.01.07) where she had been partying after the Golden Globes.

Lindsay said in a statement: "I have made a proactive decision to take care of my personal health.

"I appreciate your well wishes and ask that you please respect my privacy at this time."
