I hope Lindsay Lohan’s rep is billing some serious overtime. After defending a sympathy message Linds wrote about the late Robert Altman this morning, Leslie Sloane has now confirmed to People.com that the underage party queen is attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings. “Yes, she’s been attending some meetings, and it’s going to be a slow process,” says Leslie. “This is a positive. Let’s hope that the press doesn’t turn it into a negative.”

The publicist then begged the media to leave her alone when it comes to the meetings.”Maybe if (the press) backs off on her she’ll be in a good space,” she added. “Let’s see if we don’t have to hear about it every day, and they’re following her and trying to find her. Because that will just really not be good.”Lindsay was spotted earlier in the week attending an AA meeting near her L.A. apartment.

The confirmation comes just after Linds’s mom Dina went on the air with Ryan Seacrest today and first broke the news. So much for “anonymous,” huh? Dina so needs to stop airing her daughter’s dirty laundry and help her get the help she needs — which is probably more than accompanying her to parties
