Lindsay Lohan’s Hearing To Be Videotaped

She’s been trying to fight it for quite some time, but as it turns out, Lindsay Lohan’s upcoming hearing will be videotaped.

The “Mean Girls” actress, who was spotted out for sushi with Stavros Niarchos last night, will be taped during her upcoming deposition in a civil lawsuit regarding her car crash two years ago. Raymundo Ortega is the plaintiff in the case.

Back in 2005, LiLo collided her car with Ortega’s van, and shortly thereafter she started getting into trouble for DUI and drug charges. Therefore, Ortega is claiming that Lohan was intoxicated when the accident (which was his fault) occurred.

The “Georgia Rule” actress’ attorney, David J. Ozeran, wrote in the court papers, “If a single picture of Ms. Lohan can sell for thousands of dollars, a videotape of the deposition will undoubtedly sell for tens of thousands of dollars, or more.” He claimed that videotaping would be an attempt to, “annoy Ms. Lohan and to attempt to gain a litigation advantage by causing her concern about the embarrassment of such a videotape.’’

But in the end, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Michael L. Stern ruled (earlier today) that he was denying Lindsay’s bid to bar video cameras from the courtroom.
