Lindsay Lohan had her brother, not her lawyer, contact Los Angeles prosecutors to discuss a potential THIRD rehab venue, RadarOnline.com has learned. 
 
 On the eve of her sixth stint in treatment, RadarOnline.com can reveal Michael Junior made the last-ditch approach to the City Attorneys for L.A. to have them sign off on The Lukens Institute for the court-ordered 90-day treatment. 
 
 “Lindsay is desperately trying to get out of going to rehab in Southern California,” a source close to the Mean Girls star said. 
 
 “Lindsay wants to be in the Florida center, but she isn’t sure if she’s going to be able to make that happen. She’s in a panic about her situation.”

 As of late Wednesday, there were three options on the table for Lindsay: California-based Morningside Recovery, Seafield Center in New York’s Westhampton Beach and Lukens, a luxury center based in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. 
 
 The unorthodox approach to prosecutors directly from a member of the Lohan family begs the question as to why the actress’ lawyer, Mark Heller, did not initiate the contact. 
 
 Heller is expected in a Los Angeles court on Thursday to notify the judge of Lohan’s venue choice. 
 
 As RadarOnline.com previously reported, LiLo’s dad, Michael, has been lobbying for Lukens, which bills itself as providing “sophisticated treatment for sophisticated clients in a setting that meets the highest standards of luxury.”

 In an interview on Wednesday, Michael revealed his daughter had lost interest in Seafield because they won’t let her smoke. 
 
 “It is come to my attention that Lindsay does not want to go to Seafield in New York because it’s not private enough, they don’t allow smoking and the accommodations are not suitable to her needs,” he said. 
 
 “She told me people want her to go to Morningside in Newport Beach, California. But that’s very place that leaked she was going there about a year ago and did the same this time.” 
 
 According to Michael, Morningside isn’t going to help his daughter.

 He said the venue, located in a wealthy enclave by the sea, had promised to allow his daughter to smoke cigarettes “even though they have a no smoking policy.” 
 
 “This is the last straw and I’m going to do everything I possibly can to put them everyone out of the business of using people,” the Lohan patriarch said. 
 
 Lohan is slated to start her rehab on Thursday after a court ordered Lohan to spend the time in rehab as part of her sentence for lying to Santa Monica police about who was driving a Porsche on Pacific Coast Highway that collided with a truck. 

 Lindsay Lohan is not happy about where she’s going to spend her court-ordered rehab sentence and RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned that she’s in tears as she boards a plane to California. 
 
 “She was crying hysterically when she called me,” her father Michael Lohan explained. 
 
 “Lindsay is heading to California but she doesn’t want to go the place she’s going and she’s upset that she’s being forced to do so.”

 As RadarOnline.com previously reported, Lindsay has been trying to change where she’ll spend her 90-days from Morningside Recovery to one her father recommended in Florida. 
 
 “Lindsay wants to go to the Lukens Institute,” Michael said. 
 
 “But she’s going to go to Morningside in Newport Beach until she can transfer to the one in Florida.”

 Lindsay has even had her brother Michael Lohan Jr. call the City Attorney to plead with him to let her change treatment centers, but he was not successful in his endeavor. 
 
 Her attorney Mark Heller is expected to appear before the judge in California on Thursday and Lindsay’s father says that even if she starts treatment on the West Coast she still hopes to change shortly.

 “She asked me if she could transfer to Lukens once she starts and I told her of course she can,” Michael said. 
 
 “I will get it all settled for her.” 

 Lindsay Lohan Rehab Plan May Be Up In Smoke 
 
 EXCLUSIVE 
 
 has less than 24 hours to hightail it to Seafield Center in New York ... but even as she packs her bags she's telling people she may bail on the rehab facility because they won't let her smoke.Sources close to Lindsay tell TMZ ... she doesn't think she can hack not smoking for 90 days.We're told Lindsay asked her lawyers to try and convince Seafield to make an exception and, failing that, find a facility that would let her puff away.Sources say Seafield was unbending -- no smoking, no exceptions. So lawyers triggered Plan B -- we've learned they contacted Morningside Recovery in Newport Beach -- a place Lindsay once rehabbed at for a short time in 2010.Morningside staff tells TMZ ... they DO allow smoking. Problem is ... we've learned the City Attorneys for L.A. and Santa Monica haven't signed off on Morningside. We're told prosecutors had no idea Lindsay is thinking of bailing on Seafield.Lindsay is acting like she's going tomorrow ... She Instagrammed this photo of herself packing, saying, "90 days and 270 looks."Lindsay's lawyer is supposed to appear in court tomorrow with proof of enrollment -- and the expectation is that she'll have enrolled at Seafield.FYI -- Lindsay is packing 270 outfit changes, but if she goes to Seafield, she'll have to leave 263 behind. They only allow 7 changes of clothes.
– It's official: Lindsay Lohan is back in rehab. Her lawyer says she's checked in, but, because apparently nothing can be simple in Lohan's life, it's not clear the judge will actually accept the placement. Prosecutors need to sign off on the facility and didn't have time to investigate it and do so, so the judge gave them until next Friday to make a decision. Until then, the judge said, Lohan should stay at the facility, the AP reports. Oh, and this could be a problem: The facility's license has been revoked, TMZ reports. Lohan was supposed to check in to a New York facility, but got upset when she learned it has a no-smoking policy, TMZ reports. That's apparently what prompted her to switch to the as-yet-unapproved California facility, although making things even more complicated, there was also a Florida facility in the mix at one point. And—what else would you expect—she missed her first flight to California and was very late for her second, last-minute flight, according to E!. But she ended up there, though father of the century Michael Lohan tells Radar she was "crying hysterically" as she was boarding her plane because she wanted to go to the aforementioned Florida facility instead.
