Lindsay Lohan To Front U.K.'s 2008 Visa Fashion Swap Campaign
Los Angeles, CA (CNS) - Visa has announced that actress Lindsay Lohan will front this year's Visa Swap fashion event. It will be the first U.K. fashion campaign for Lohan.
During the campaign, Lohan will encourage the U.K. to swap their unwanted clothes at the world's biggest and most popular fashion swapping event, Visa Swap, in association with clothing charity TRAID.
Lohan has fronted campaigns for major international brands before including Miu Miu, Versace and Donna Karen. She will take over for Mischa Barton, who launched the initiative in 2007.
Lohan already did the campaign photo shoot for the event, earlier this year in L.A., and the result was five photos that will be used for the Visa Swap event.
According to Visa, Lohan said, "I am so excited to be involved with this year's Visa Swap event. The concept of swapping clothes, getting something for nothing and refreshing your wardrobe appeals to everyone. Ethical stories continue to dominate the news agenda and it's great when fashion projects benefit charities. I had such a great time at the Visa Swap campaign shoot, the clothes I wore were all vintage designer pieces which you just don't see every day!"

Police Bust Lindsay Lohan Find Possible Cocaine
Fresh out of rehab, Lindsay Lohan was accused of driving under the influence early Saturday morning, and police found what they believe to be cocaine in her car.

Witnesses said at 5:30 a.m., Lohan, 20, was driving down Hollywood's Sunset Bouelvard in her Mercedes convertible. She jumped a curb and flew into a set of trees. Right after the accident, she ran into a nearby house.
"I quickly got out of my car and said, 'Lindsay, are you ok?' And she didn't really respond, she was moving fast," said X17 photographer Perry Farinola.
Farinola then saw Lohan get into another car. He said she didn't appear to have been drinking.
"She looked good coming out of the club and the party that I saw her at," he said.
The police didn't agree. Their initial investigation led to charges.
"Officers tracked Miss Lohan to the local hospital where she ultimately was placed under arrest for ... driving under the influence," Lt. Mitch McCann of the Beverly Hills Police Department said Saturday.
Lohan left the scene and ended up at an L.A. hospital, where police arrested her but did not take her into custody so her minor injuries could be treated. When police impounded her car, they searched it and found something else.
"It was a usable amount of illegal narcotics that was preliminarily identified as cocaine," McCann said.
The arrest is the latest chapter in Lohan's history of hard partying. Saturday's was the third car accident she's had in the last two years. The actress recently announced she checked into rehab for alcohol abuse in January, though paparazzi cameras have since caught her drinking.
The current case could transcend the tabloids: Police say Lohan could face additional charges. Her tentative arraignment date is Aug. 24.
Ronald Richards, a Beverly Hills attorney, believes Lohan could go the way of Paris Hilton -- to jail.
"It is a very serious misdemeanor on the panaloply of misdemeanors, and then you have the DUI," Richards told ABC News Radio. "She could be looking at a lot of classes and a lot of community service."
