    For those who have always wondered how fallen star Lindsay Lohan can afford to spend long stints in rehab and even longer stays at the Chateau Marmont, we now have an answer: she can't. The Marmont recently demanded that she pay her $46,350.04 bill or vacate the room she's been occupying there. She spent some $686 on cigarettes over two months and had the hotel supply her with copies of Architectural Digest too. Ah, escapism. [Curbed LA]
