Addiction and Legal Struggles
Lindsay:
Lohan has spent five stints in rehab, including at the Betty Ford Clinic. She's been arrested multiple times for driving under the influence, using cocaine, violating parole, and theft. There have been stints in jail and court-ordered community service in a morgue. And her rap sheet just keeps growing -- she may have her probation revoked for lying to police about a car accident in June. Still, despite her father's failed intervention, sources close to Lohan insist she's clean and sober.

Liz:
Taylor had suffered back pain ever since she was thrown from a horse while filming "National Velvet." Later tragedies -- such as the death of her third husband, Mike Todd (pictured), in a plane crash -- led her to turn to painkillers. In 1983, Taylor admitted to a 35-year addiction to painkillers and alcohol, and she entered rehab at the Betty Ford Clinic.
