Lindsay Lohan was released from jail after only 12 hours late Friday, however, sources tell me it nearly didn't happen when Judge Patricia Schnegg set bail at a whopping $300,000.
"Lindsay hasn't earned that sort of money in a long time," a family insider tells me. "There was a moment when the family honestly thought Lindsay wasn't going to be released because they didn't have that amount of money available to post bail."
My source tells me it would have been a "tragedy" if, after all her lawyer's hard work, Lindsay would have had to stay locked up just because of family money issues.
And whose fault is it that she doesn't have much green these days?
Lindsay hasn't been earning A-list cash for a long time, but she has continued to live the lifestyle of a major star. When I saw the troubled star recently in New York, she was wearing thousands of dollars in designer clothes and was being chauffeured around in a fancy car, all while staying at one of the city's most expensive hotels.
Many insiders have wondered how she paid for this while working so little in recent years.
"It's not a big secret that Lindsay needs money," a friend of the LiLo tells me. "She makes most of her cash selling stories or photographs to the magazines and tabloids, but that is nowhere near the sort of cash she used to earn as an actress. The real problem is that every penny she earns she spends. She's always buying new clothes and shoes from expensive stores. There's no one in Lindsay's life telling her she can't afford it. It's a problem almost as serious as her drug addiction."

Back in April of this year, the now 32-year old Taiwanese singer/actor Van Ness Wu was caught by the media while on a date with his 28-year old Singaporean girlfriend Arissa. The couple had also once dated back in 2006 before their break up a year later. Over three years since the pair broke off their relationship, the two got back together in April at a time when Van Ness publicly expressed the prospect of marriage in the start of their second relationship attempt. Netizens though recently discovered that Van Ness and Arissa separated again when the two of them ceased following each other’s tweets on popular social networking service Twitter. Rumors have been circulating that the split was instigated by Van Ness’ now ex-girlfriend new love interest with another man. But yesterday, Van Ness revealed through his manager Katie that “the split is true, but that they will still keep in touch and be friends.”
