Lindsay Lohan is definitely looking on the bright side and she certainly needs to as she's still recovering from a tropical disease and may be facing legal difficulties as she reportedly hasn't completely her community service. The actress shared a very revealing selfie with fans in which she joked about her illness and looked remarkably thin.

Despite her health and possible legal troubles, Lohan was in the mood for celebrating on Saturday (24th January) when she took to Instagram to share a rather revealing selfie. The 28-year-old actress posed in front of a mirror in a Calvin Klein thong and, standing on her side, showed off her tiny stomach. She does look extremely thin which may be the result of her recent illness. 

Lohan contracted Chikungunya, a mosquito-transmitted virus which causes fever and joint pain, whilst holidaying in French Polynesia over Christmas. Lohan joked about her illness in the photo's caption, writing: "#mycalvins are helping me fight off my chikungunya". Lohan has certainly been suffering and a source, speaking to People, claims her joint pains "come and go". 

Although Lohan may be unwell, some of her followers have suggested the image is photoshopped. As the Mail reports, there are allegedly tell-tale signs of photoshopping including some objects in the background appearing to be slanted. 

Lohan certainly seems relaxed for someone who may be facing legal issues. Lohan is due in court on Wednesday (28th January) as she has to answer for her missed hours of community service, according to TMZ.  This is the second time she has failed to complete the required hours which may result in a prison sentence. However, Lohan has been unwell with a recognised medical condition and the centre in London to which she reports to for her community service was shut over the Christmas holidays. It is believed her lawyer will use this defence to ensure Lohan stays out of jail.
