Lindsay's B-Day Intentions Remain Pure

Plans for Lindsay Lohan's upcoming 21st-birthday bash are supposedly still in full swing, even if the Sin City shindig turns out to be a watered-down affair.

Attorney Michael Heller, a friend of the Lohan family, told VH1's Best Week Ever that the almost-legal Lohan is still contractually obligated to throw down July 2 at Caesars Palace's Pure nightclub and that the detoxing actress will be in attendance.

Assuming she puts in an entire 30 days at Promises in Malibu, where, as father Michael Lohan told E! Online, she's being treated for addictions to alcohol and drugs, including the painkiller OxyContin, the Georgia Rule star will have had more than one milestone to celebrate this summer.

But while she'll theoretically be able to bask in the glow that comes from being healthy and on the right path, will her newfound sobriety put a damper on the joy of turning 21 (even if she's already spent the last few years clubbing)?

"Lindsay said she's doing the party in Vegas, no matter what," Heller told VH1. "Just because you're sober doesn't mean you can't go out and have fun."

The lawyer also denied a New York Daily News report that vodka purveyor Svedka had dropped out of sponsoring the party, saying that there had never been a deal with the Swedish company in the first place.

Lohan's publicist, Leslie Sloane Zelnik, could not be reached for comment, but a spokesperson for Pure Management Group told E! News that, while they are "not commenting on the scheduled July 2 birthday party...we think the world of Lindsay."

So, Lohan has a party penciled in for July, but all soirees scheduled for this week are definite no-gos, of course.

She had been set to cohost and codeejay a Vitaminenergy and Reebok party Thursday at a private Los Angeles estate with celebrity spinner Steve Aoki, but The Hills' Lauren Conrad has since been tapped to replace the on-the-mend starlet.

Lohan will also sit out a Thursday-night birthday party at Hollywood hot spot Les Deux (where Lohan was partying several hours before her car accident Saturday morning) for Dolce Group partner J.T. Torregiani, as well as Sunday's MTV Movie Awards.

Meanwhile, on the business end of things, the producers of Lohan's latest project, the dark-comedy crime drama Poor Things, have issued a statement—cosigned by Lohan's would-be costars Shirley MacLaine and Rob Hickman—saying that they will try to work around Lohan's latest sojourn in rehab.

"In the spirit of helping Lindsay Lohan and her rehabilitation, we have been asked by Lindsay to comply with her wishes to continue working on Poor Things," the statement reads. "We are trying to rearrange the shooting schedule to facilitate her working at the end of the shoot to coincide with the completion of her rehabilitation. We wish her love and the blending of mind, body and spirit."

Poor Things, a true-life story based on the case of two elderly Santa Monica women who befriended homeless men, took out life insurance policies and then murdered them, also stars Olympia Dukakis and Rosario Dawson.
