LINDSAY IS A FREE WOMAN _ Lindsay Lohan has been released from the UCLA Neuropsychiatric Hospital ... TMZ has confirmed. Lindsay was released after 23 days at the Hospital. Lindsay will receive outpatient care for the foreseeable future. We're told the doctors at UCLA were very clear with Judge Elden Fox ... they felt Lindsay should be released from the facility immediately, and the judge saw it their way. Judge Marsha Revel had previously ordered Lindsay to spend 90 days at UCLA. A court hearing is scheduled tomorrow, although we've learned Lindsay will not be there.

COST OF LINDSAY’S TREATMENT _ Lindsay Lohan's UCLA medical bill was a whopping $40,000 a week ... sources familiar with her treatment tell TMZ. Before continuing ... we'll answer what we know you're asking. We're told Lindsay's insurance (SAG) does not cover treatment at the UCLA Neuropsychiatric Hospital. Sources at UCLA tell us the base rate for treatment at the Hospital is $17,850 a week, which does not include the cost of doctors, testing, medication, or therapists. All tolled, Lindsay's bill came to $40,000 a week.

Here's what's crazy ... Judge Marsha Revel ordered 13 weeks of treatment, which would have brought the bill to $520,000. According to the docs, Judge Revel overreacted and Lindsay was released after only 23 days -- almost 3 1/2 weeks. That reduces the cost to a very reasonable $130,400.

PARIS TWEETS ATTEMPTED BURGLARY _ A 31-year-old has been charged with attempted burglary stemming from an incident Tuesday morning at Paris Hilton's home.

The LAPD took Nathan Parada into custody and bail was set at $50,000. Parada has a history of arrests.

... After the scare, Paris tweeted: "So Scary, just got woken up to a guy trying to break into my house holding 2 big knifes. Cops are here arresting him."

KARA SAYS SHE WANTED TO LEAVE IDOL _ All rumors indicate that Kara DioGuardi is out at American Idol, but now she's claiming that it was her decision to leave.

The insider says she "went to Fox two months ago and told them she didn't want to do another season. She did two years and thinks that's enough." Fox has yet to officially announce Kara's departure. The insider claims that when she asked to leave, "they said they'd get back to her."

MEYER AND ROWLING BRING IN BIG MONEY _ Twilight's Stephenie Meyer and Harry Potter's J.K. Rowling made a lot of money with their books but they are not the highest-paid authors of the year. According to Forbes, that honor goes to James Patterson, author of the Alex Cross novels, who took in $70 million. Meyer came in second with $40 mil, followed by Stephen King ($34 mil), Danielle Steel ($32 mil) and Ken Follett ($20 mil). J.K. Rowling landed at number 10 with $10 mil. (Not bad since the last Potter book came out in 2007.)

According to Diandra's lawyers, that provision includes any "spinoffs" of Douglas' movies.
