Betting On Lindsay Lohan's Recovery

The Insider's Marc Malkin contributes to the Year of Incremental Updates About Lindsay Lohan's Health, reporting that she was released this morning from the Suspicious Severe Asthma Attack Unit of the Miami hospital where she spent three days and is on her way back to NY. However, not everyone is passive about the starlet's continuing recovery. Gambling site BetUS.com is offering to foot the bill for a luxurious, head-clearing stay in Costa Rica. Says their press release:
LINDSAY LOHAN PRESENTED WITH LUCRATIVE REHABILITATION PACKAGE
Lohan Offered Costa Rican Rehab from BetUS.com
January 5, New York– Reacting to Lindsay Lohan’s Vanity Fair confession that she abused drugs and fought an eating disorder, Executives at BetUS.com, today offered Lohan an attractive Costa Rican rehabilitation package.
Licensed in Canada and Costa Rica, BetUS.com (www.BetUS.com) is a leading online entertainment and gaming site providing their North American clientele with a full range of options including gambling, sports and more. Executives at the popular site recognized Lohan’s star power and the need for her to withdraw from the spotlight temporarily in order to get her life back together.
“Ms. Lohan is too young and it isn’t right to let her fade away,” said BetUS.com spokesperson, Matt Ross. “The Entertainment industry is a rough world, we’d like to offer her a much-needed respite and reach a mutually beneficial arrangement.”The rehabilitation package includes one-on-one counseling, a luxury apartment by the ocean, 24 hour spa services, transportation, and a nutritionist. In return, Ms. Lohan will serve as BetUS’ female spokesmodel alongside Governor Jesse Ventura.
Being an online gambling concern's spokesbimbo might seem like a step back for an actress with Lohan's resumé, but perhaps this kind of cautious toe-dipping into the chilly water of celebrity is exactly what she needs right now, especially since this highly publicized hospitalization effectively negated the carefully calculated, image rehabilitating soul-baring of the Vanity Fair cover story.
