A gossip-bomb dropped in today's Page Six could soon have the tabloids bracing for massive layoffs, paparazzi seriously exploring the possibility of returning to law school, and cause the immediate shuttering of up to a third of Hollywood's most exclusive nightclubs: Lindsay Lohan may have decided it's time to dry out:

A Los Angeles spy reports seeing her yesterday at a 7:30 a.m. AA meeting near her apartment in the Sierra Towers. A friend of Lohan confirmed, "She has attended several meetings and has hopefully decided to turn her life around - this time for good. She is out of control." Lohan skipped Thanksgiving with her mom, Dina, and her family because she knew "someone would force an intervention on her." So Dina - who likes a party almost as much as her wild-child daughter - has arrived in L.A. to convince Lindsay to stay home some nights. The actress is filming "The Best Time of Our Lives" with Keira Knightley for the next five weeks - and then, friends hope "she will really get serious about getting sober. And drop out of the limelight for a while." A rep for Lohan declined comment.

This news, of course, comes as a shock: We've always assumed that any report of Lohan entering AA would follow an ugly incident in the Cedars Sinai emergency room in which the visibly "dehydrated" actress would demand that her medical pit crew fill up her IV with Grey Goose so that she wouldn't lose her buzz on the way back to Hyde for last call. Nevertheless, we're encouraged by the anonymous friend's hint that Lohan won't be taking any drastic steps towards sobriety until the shooting of her movie is complete; realizing that she needs more time before she's ready to try and practice her craft on more than two hours of fitful sleep and without a crippling hangover is a sure sign of the maturity necessary for an eventual triumph over her problem.
