LINDSAY LOHAN - FRANCO A FACTOR IN LOHAN REHAB?

LINDSAY LOHAN reportedly checked herself into rehab on Wednesday (17JAN07) after SPIDER-MAN star JAMES FRANCO rejected her romantic advances. The MEAN GIRLS star allegedly became obsessed with the actor after meeting him at the PRAIRIE HOME COMPANION film premiere in June (06) and tried to give him an expensive watch, which he refused. According to the New York Daily News, Franco rebuffed the actress at PRINCE's Golden Globes after-party at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel on Monday night (15JAN07), reducing Lohan to tears. A source says, "She seemed lost. She was trying to get James' attention, and he wouldn't give her anything. She was smoking a lot, not drinking in front of him, and then she went into a bedroom. "From there, she went back to trying to get James' attention again, and he was ignoring her. She ran out crying." Lohan was allegedly found passed out in a hotel hallway shortly after the incident. The 20-year-old subsequently checked herself into the posh Wonderland rehabilitation center in the Hollywood Hills.
