Lindsay Lohan plans to quit LA

Lindsay Lohan has vowed to beat her drug addiction and move away from Los Angeles.

The Mean Girls actress promised to make major changes to her lifestyle last week, during an emotional meeting with her father Michael, who she had not seen for three years.

"When we finally came face to face we just clung on to each other and did not stop crying for at least half an hour," Michael told the News of the World.

"Lindsay said, 'Daddy, I have done some terrible things and been addicted to drugs but please believe me I will never do drugs again.'

"She said she does not want to live in Hollywood as that is where this evil in her life happens. She said, 'I hate Hollywood and I don't want to work there. I need a break and I am moving away'."

Lohan was arrested on July 24 for driving under the influence, possession of cocaine and driving on a suspended licence. She is currently staying at a rehab clinic in Utah.
