"Betty Ford Center terminated me, and I'm now going full force," she said. "[It was] due to breach of patient confidentiality because I did an interview with TMZ," she added.

Riverside County sheriff's detectives said Tuesday they are investigating the 'Mean Girls' star for an alleged altercation with a worker at a Betty Ford Center facility in Palm Desert, Calif., that occurred after 1AM on Dec. 12. The agency declined to say what prompted the fight, but said the worker was interested in pursuing charges against Lohan.

Betty Ford spokesman Russ Patrick said the staffer was fired for identifying patients at the center in the interview, "disclosing a privileged document" and violating HIPAA laws.
Holland appeared in an interview on celebrity website TMZ on Tuesday afternoon, claiming Lohan and two other girls had left the facility without permission. In the video, Holland claims she was trying to get Lohan to submit to a breathalyzer test when the actress became belligerent, pushed her and snatched a phone from her hand, straining her arm.

"Lindsay and two other patients had snuck out, went drinking and tried to sneak back in and they got caught. We were told by our administration on-call to do a breathalyzer test, which she refused to do," Holland told TMZ. "She was angry and out of control."

Holland says Lohan pushed her after she asked the actress to remove her hands from another patient. As Holland, Lohan and the two other patients went inside, Holland said Lohan "kept yelling and cursing and screaming." At this point, Holland called the police.

"She tried to snatch the phone from out of my arm," Holland claimed. "She grabbed my wrist and twisted my arm and my hand to get the phone."

According to Holland, TMZ paid her at least $10,000 for the interview and photos of her injuries.

Lohan has not been arrested or charged in the incident. Her attorney, Shawn Chapman Holley, said in an e-mailed statement that it was the actress who called for police.

While the fallout for Holland was swift, Lohan's situation remains unclear. A judge has ordered her to remain at Betty Ford until Jan. 3 and remain out of trouble until Feb. 25. RadarOnline.com reports that while Lohan originally refused to take a breathalyzer test, she did pass an alcohol test a few hours later.

The judge also ordered her to submit to random drug and alcohol screenings or face up to six months in jail for violating her probation on a 3-year-old drunk driving case. Lohan has been receiving treatment at Betty Ford and its facilities since late September.

Riverside County sheriff's Deputy Herlinda Valenzuela said Lohan's case would be presented to prosecutors, who will decide whether Lohan will face new charges.

Is this the first time she has "snuck" out? Probably the first time she was caught. How's that treatment going for you Linds? Perfect! Great! Hope the judge gives her a few more months of "treatment." Too bad the worker used the incident as an opportunity to cash in. That is unprofessional.

It appears that only a stint in jail will cure Lindsay.

I understand that the clinic has to fire this staff member because laws were broken regarding disclosure disclosure..but the california legal system needs to see than jail is the only option for Ms.Lindsay. She is obviously way out of control and jail time should be manadatory at this point. Dina.. I hear Mc Donalds is hiring

Good!.........While Miss LL may have "slipped" again, she is fighting addiction and the behavior of that addiction.....

Clinics et al have very strict staff rules and procedures in dealing with the patients......This person violated those rules.
Termination is very appropriate.......

While I think that the employee's termination was appropriate, I also think that Lindsay's stay at Betty Ford should be 'terminated' as well, due to her sneaking out. Clearly, she is not taking re-hab seriously, and her bed should be given to someone who really needs and wants to recover.

Why are people JUDGING Lindsay without knowing the FACTS of what happened that night? You all are acting just like Obama when he called the Cop STUPID without knowing the FACTS. This person did violate Lindsay's rights and deserved to be FIRED. After all the people at the Betty Ford Clinic did have the FACTS. If I recall I have heard about this little saying INOCENT until PROVEN GUILTY.

After working in Hollywood for six decades, White is at the peak of her career at a spry 88-years old, and now she is getting the recognition she deserves. On Monday, Associated Press named White the Entertainer of the Year.

"It's ridiculous," White said in response to the award. "They haven't caught on to me, and I hope they never do."

Despite being the busiest cameo artist of 2010, making appearances for 'Community' and TV Land's 'Hot in Cleveland,' the final tally for the honor was a nail biter. White narrowly beat out FOX's mega-hit cast of 'Glee' by two votes out of total of 102 ballots.
The powering force behind White's climb to the top was when she hosted for 'SNL,' an opportunity she turned down three times before finally taking it on.

"I thought I was so Californian and it's so New York-oriented that I would be like a fish out of water," White said. "This time, my agent said, `No, you've got to do it.' ... But I was scared to death."

For what made one of the best hosting performances on 'SNL' in recent memory, garnering 12.1 million viewers, White explained she had never been more nervous.

"It was the insecurity, I think, that had me scared," she says, noting that she can't stand using cue cards, a necessity for a live show that's revised until minutes before broadcast. A tip to focus on the cue cards instead of her fellow actors helped, but she still had to adjust. "I thought, `How do you not look at Tina Fey when you're standing right next to her?'"

When people say this is White's comeback, she doesn't understand where everyone was before.

"It's been phenomenal, but everybody keeps congratulating me on my resurgence and my big comeback," White said. "I haven't been away, guys. I've been working steadily for the last 63 years."

I have always adored her, thru most of the decades that she has entertained us, she is 21 years older than me. She is also a dead ringer , dead ringer for my mother. Except for her being blonde and my mothers hair being auburn, you would never had been able to tell them apart. I am glad to see her getting all of the recognition that she is getting, what a lovely lady & I wish her the very best. What a lady to go at the pace she is going at at her age.

Betty White deserves all the accolades she receives -- and more. She's a terrific performer.

I would have chosen her over ANY one to get this title. The lady has been a joy to watch for all her years, in all her shows and mainly because she is ONE of a KIND. Never snobbish, hateful, but always LOVED!

Love Betty White, and love her new show Hot in Cleveland. She is funny and so much fun to watch.

OMFG! I am SO sick of hearing about Betty White. How can an 89 year old be overexposed? She's been playing the same character for 40+ years now. Time to say goodbye.

Aw relax Nico. The only sameness about her characters is they're all fully.

AGREED! She's not even funny. She's curses or says 'penis' and people laugh at it just because she's old. It's stupid.

You Nico are a fool. I wonder what you will be like or if anyone will like you when you are this living legends age?

I guess any old person saying dirty things is considered hilarious. People have NO taste whatsoever.

Hooray for Betty....she deserves every accolade and outshines the entire younger generation of actors around. Keep it up Betty.

This is what a real national treasure looks and acts like. I've always thought she was great...from the Mary Tyler Moore show, Golden Girls, Hot in Cleveland, game shows and movies...and she deserves all the recognition she receives. A true inspiration.
