Lohan’s new trial date is March 18.
Lohan was accompanied to court by her new attorney, Mark Heller. Lohan spoke only briefly to confirm that she no longer wanted her longtime lawyer, Shawn Holley, to represent her.

Rihanna tells Rolling Stone in an interview that dating Chris Brown makes her happy and “if it’s a mistake, it’s my mistake.” She adds that she’s ready to go public with her singer-boyfriend.
