Amid the DA’s allegations that Lindsay Lohan isn’t taking her legal problems seriously, the court sentenced her to four months in jail.  Could be extended, though.  After Lindsay left the courtroom, the judge discovered that his gavel, the stenographer’s rubber fingers and the bailiff’s handcuffs were missing.
