Lindsay Lohan has bought two puppies to help her stay sober.

The Mean Girls star - who recently completed a stint in rehab for alcoholism - hopes her new pets will make her stay at home and curb her wild partying lifestyle.

Lindsay told the US edition of GQ magazine: "I bought two puppies today! Sober impulse buying of companions who will help me stay home etc. A Jack Russell terrier. named him Brooklyn. he's white and black (like Chanel), and a yorkie named Dakota (like my movie name and my lil bro)."

Meanwhile, the 20-year-old star is said to be eagerly awaiting the return of the new man in her life - Jude Law.

The pair have been seen together on several occasions and while the actor is away promoting his latest film in Japan, Lindsay is said to be pining for him.

A source said: "She just keeps talking about how psyched she is to see him when he gets back."
