Lindsay Lohan lands in London... but can her Celebrity Big Brother denial REALLY be believed or is it as fake as her fur coat?

PUBLISHED: 12:14 EST, 30 December 2012 | UPDATED: 16:47 EST, 30 December 2012

The rumour mill swung into overdrive as Lindsay Lohan travelled to London, with motives for her holiday ranging from her taking part in hit reality show Celebrity Big Brother to a desire to see Max George.

According to E!, the indefatigable red-head is planning to see her boy-bander George, but others speculate that Lohan may be taking part in CBB, for a a hefty paycheck.

Sources close to Lohan were quick to deny the rumours, with TMZ reporting: 'According to our sources, the idea is "completely untrue" and total "nonsense." As one source pointed out ... how could she lock herself in a home for a few months when she has a court date next month?'

Determined to make an impression: Lindsay Lohan wore a dramatic full length fur coat and large headphones to travel to London on Friday

The site forgets that CBB is a mere two weeks and Lohan is thought to have astronomical legal bills to pay.

Also George's band The Wanted is due in New York to perform on the New Year's Rockin' Eve show on Monday night, so Lohan has less than 48 hours to make her mark as Lindsay arrived in London on Saturday.

This might be all the more difficult as Max is said to still be in his home city of Manchester before travelling down to London to fly on Monday.

Lindsay was dressed to make an impression in a dramatic full length fur coat as she jetted out of JFK and still wearing the swishy centrepiece when she arrived at the Dorchester Hotel.

Lohan is said to be planning to stay in this New Year's Eve... in London, but according to TMZ, won't be appearing in the UK's Celebrity Big Brother.

Determined: Lindsay also looked like she'd applied some fake tan ahead of the journey

It seems she is ready to make this grand sacrifice in an attempt to avoid being sent back to jail for probation violations.

An insider told TMZ the 26-year-old wants to start her year in the best fashion in an attempt to impress the judge who will hear her case.

So she is planning on attending no parties, no clubs and is hoping to even stay sober on the last night of 2012.

Instead she intends to enjoy an intimate quiet dinner in London, where she is visiting, before heading straaight back to the hotel to see in the bells with family and friends.

Whether this will be enough gloss over her antics over the last year remains to be seen.

The Herbie Fully Loaded favouirte is facing 245 days in prison after she failed to appear in court in Los Angeles for three misdemeanor charges, including lying to the police about a traffic incident this summer.

Lindsay has been on probation after she was found guilty of stealing a necklace in July 2011.

And some of her harsger critics would argue she deserves to be locked up foer her performance in Liz and Dick alone.

The much-ridiculed TV picture saw her put in a cringe-worthy turn as legendary English actress Elizabeth Taylor.

And the star is reportedly furious with the producers of Scary Movie 5 after they included a joke about her probation being revoked in the film.

She is said to have been promised the final say on which jokes went in the film and never gave the go ahead for that gag.

Lindsay is apparently now planning to speak to her lawyers about the matter as she allegedly believes her contract has been breached.

On a mission? Linds looked cheery to be in London, and is rumoured to be meeting up with Max George

She's here: A cheery Lindsay was still rocking the coat as she swished into The Dorchester on London's Park Avenue on Saturday

She loves to party: Lindsay likes nothing more than letting her hair down so it is a big sacrafice

Once again Lindsay Lohan is in the news...Imagine that. This girl must have a reporter living with her by now. Talking to her lawyers about her contract being breched? Wow its like when she sued Pit Bull for saying her name in a song. Nothing like trying to squeze money out of people for no reason. Shes a washed up has been who needs to throw in the towel and fade into the background somewhere. I get sick of reading about this waste of space. Hopefully the judge shes about to stand in front of wont be scared to finally lock this person up.

not really our business to count her money, more important things in life to worry about whether she wears Versace boots or not or uses expensive headphones

No ta, we don't want her. How did she clear immigration? Are we supposed to be assured she truthfully declared her criminal convictions? Not to mention the ferret smuggling operation that is her coat.
