USA: Lindsay Lohan's wax figure dons prison stripes at Madame Tussaud's

While actress Lindsay Lohan was released on 25,000 U.S. dollar bail on Tuesday (July 24) after being arrested on drunken driving and cocaine possession charges, the actress' wax figure at Madame Tussaud's museum has already gotten a makeover. Forget the mini dress her wax likeness wore - she's now donning traditional prison stripes, hat and all. The 21-year-old star of "Mean Girls" -- already facing a drunken-driving charge following a car crash in Beverly Hills two months ago -- was taken into custody in the coastal city of Santa Monica shortly at about 1:30 a.m. (0830 GMT). Head of marketing at Madame Tussauds, Rosemary Preta, says "we want to ensure that all of our guests have the most recent and latest pop culture information. So we want to provide it with a magical experience so we have LIndsay Lohan in our lobby." Weighing in on Lohan's troubles, museum visitor Tiera Walker, says she thinks Lohan should have to do time for her crime. "I think that if you act like that that she should be in that, cause she be wild out, she should go and maybe she will learn her lesson." The incident followed months of hard partying by the actress, who had been a regular at Hollywood nightspots and attending Alcoholics Anonymous programs for a year despite having turned 21 -- the legal age for drinking in the United States -- only this month.
