Lindsay Lohan Career Renaissance to Continue with Prison Diary?

Maybe all Mel Gibson needs to reinvigorate his career is a potential trip to jail. Not only will Lindsay Lohan have the chance to salaciously wave her butt in front of a German shepherd when her 90-day sentence ends, but she'll also be an in-demand author. Never mind that LiLo couldn't be bothered to fully spell out the word "you" when she was cursing out the American justice system.

According to Page Six, Lohan is more in demand now than she has been in the past five years. "The bidding is over $500,000 for the rights to the pre-jail interview, the prison diary and the first chat when she is released."

Dear Diary: WTF. R u serious with this prison sh*t? Ahem. But before visions of Lindsay making diary comparisons between herself and Anne Frank start running through your head, note that none of this might actually happen. That's because Lohan is still hoping for a reduced or deferred sentence. Says a source to Page Six: "Lindsay is still convinced she'll get a reduced term -- even if she has to go to rehab afterward for longer. She has spoken to a number of lawyers over the weekend. She's even seeing a psychic for guidance." And you were wondering what Paul the Octopus was going to do next...
