Lindsay Lohan is Getting Her Life Back...

Since entering rehab at the Wonderland Center addiction-treatment facility last week, Lindsay Lohan has been keeping a low profile – and loving it. "She's been sending text messages from rehab saying she's the happiest she has ever been," a pal tells PEOPLE in its new issue. "She seems under control right now."

Lohan, 20, who had planned to attend the Sundance film festival, has instead been taking hikes on the center's lush three acres and attending treatment meetings. The hillside Wonderland has all the amenities of a spa, including yoga instructors and beauty constultants. Says Dr. Howard C. Samuels, the center's executive director: "We treat the individual's emotional, spiritual and physical ailments."

Should Lohan wish to step out, the new facility allows patients to attend professional and social engagements, typically with a "sober companion" – a Wonderland staffer – in tow. So far the kid-glove treatment seems to be agreeing with the actress – which must come as a relief to her family and friends, who had watched with increasing concern as she kicked off the new year by partying hard and fast.

The final straw? When Lindsay Lohan hit Hollywood's Les Deux on Jan. 5, less than 24 hours after having her appendix removed. "That's when (those in her inner circle) said, 'We can't make excuses for this,' " says a source. "She was like, 'You're right. So let's do something about that.' "

Chapter 27 Recieves Harsh Criticism!

'Chapter 27' - the new film about John Lennon's assassination - has been branded an insult to the music legend's memory. J.P. Schaefer's movie which depicts the former Beatle's murder in 1980 by deranged fan Mark David Chapman premiered at the Sundance festival on Tuesday after allegedly being rejected by other film festivals.

Fox News reporter Roger Friedman saw the movie and has blasted Schaefer for tarnishing Lennon's memory. Friedman said: "J.P. Schaefer has managed to kill Lennon again. He's also made a boring, un-releasable movie that no one will ever see. "Most of the audience struggled to remain awake during the film's lethargic 90 minutes."

Friedman brands Jared Leto's performance as Chapman as "inert", claiming the "once promising" actor "plays Chapman as a blob in tinted sunglasses". He also accuses 'Chapter 27' of plagiarising J.D. Salinger's novel 'The Catcher in the Rye', from which the movie takes its name.

Lindsay Lohan also appears in the film and Friedman claims she is wasted as a Beatles fan with a minor role in the film. He said: "She's better off in rehab than wasting her talents on this junk."

James Franco Caused Lindsay Lohan to Enter Rehab

Lindsay Lohan reportedly checked herself into rehab on Wednesday after James Franco rejected her romantic advances. The star allegedly became obsessed with the actor after meeting him at the Prairie Home Companion film premiere in June 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, 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.

More on Lindsay Lohan in Rehab

Shortly after Lindsay's statement was released, her manager-mom Dina told "I'm so proud of her. She's really in a good place right now, spiritually and mentally. She's in an amazing, phenomenal place. She's 20 and she's solid, and she's doing what she needs to do. I don’t know that many people who are that secure. It's all about her, and getting back on track. She's fine — she’s amazingly fine."

A source tells that Lindsay checked herself into rehab after an intervention with her family and executives from the movie she’s working on, I Know Who Killed Me. “The movie executives said they had a major issue with getting her insured for the film and threatened to sue her for between for between $3 million and $5 million for the delays her constant absences were causing on the set,” the source tells. “Lindsay’s family and other people she works with sat down with her last night and convinced her she had to go into rehab to save herself professionally and personally. She couldn’t afford to have another letter come out about how she was being unprofessional and missing work on the set.”

Lindsay has been in a rapid decline, health-wise, since leaving the hospital on January 5, after having her appendix removed, adds the source. “She left the hospital with several painkillers on her; that was her downfall -- she was using the painkillers and continuing to go out and drink. She woke up each morning exhausted and feeling sicker than ever.”

The source adds that the rehab facility where Lohan is staying -- the $1,750 per day Wonderland Center in Laurel Canyon, just outside downtown LA -- will allow Lindsay to continue working on her movie during the day. She will check into the facility but will be allowed to leave during the day, and will return to the rehab clinic in the evenings and on the weekend. source
