KEY POINTS:
LOS ANGELES - Actress Lindsay Lohan was in a Los Angeles hospital on Thursday, having surgery to remove her appendix, her spokeswoman said.
"She is having her appendix removed," publicist Leslie Sloane-Zelnik said of the 20-year-old "Mean Girls" star.
Sloane-Zelnik declined to elaborate on Lohan's condition. But the celebrity website TMZ.com said the actress saw a doctor on Wednesday after feeling ill and was diagnosed with appendicitis.
Lohan, who has been the subject of tabloid stories documenting her penchant for parties and nightclubs, has been attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings, Sloane-Zelnik has said.
