Lo and behold! Lohan gets the ‘message’

NEW YORK: Lindsay Lohan was photographed carrying a copy of the Holy Qur’an after her first day of community service in Brooklyn, New York, on Wednesday.
The actress — who is of Irish and Italian heritage and was raised as a Catholic — held a hard copy of the holy book in her arm as she finished a day of office work at a children’s center. She reportedly arrived two hours late.
It comes as the 28-year-old embarks on an ‘emotional detox’, giving up alcohol and dating.
It is not the first time Lindsay has shown an interest in other religions.
During the height of her fame as a teen star, she wore a Kabbalah red string bracelet, which wards off misfortune brought about by the ‘evil eye’.
She was also rumored to be attending Kabbalah classes, and in 2012 she reportedly joined Courtney Love’s Buddhist chanting group.
Last year Lindsay described herself as a ‘very spiritual person’ in a docu-series with Oprah Winfrey.
’I’m a very spiritual person and I’ve become more spiritual as time has gone on,’ she told the talk show host.
’I’m really in touch, whether it’s prayer or meditation... there are so many powers greater than me in the world. I’ve been blessed and lucky enough to have been given a gift to share with other people.’
Earlier this year, Lindsay posted an Instagram image quoting the Qur’an but later deleted it.
The starlet has almost all of the 125 hours of community service handed down to her following a 2012 car crash in Los Angeles to complete and she has until the end of this month to do it. She had pleaded guilty to reckless driving and lying to police.
TMZ claimed that from tomorrow Lindsay is scheduled to work an eight-hour day and administrators will expect her to arrive on time.
Lindsay courted controversy when she was spotted arriving in New York City on Tuesday even though she’d claimed on her Instagram account on Monday that she was already back in the city.
The 28-year-old posted a picture of herself with the caption: “Happy to be home in nyc with my family and friends. Missed this place. ready to help.”
