Lindsay Lohan Reportedly Gets In Another Fight: Could She Be Headed Back To Jail?
Lohan has been in and out of jails, rehabs and probation for the past few years. She recently came off of formal probation and the judge gave her some advice about getting her life together.
‘You need to live your life in a more mature way, stop clubbing and focus on work,” Judge Stephanie Sautner said to Lohan.
Last week Lohan was seen at the music festival, Coachella, but was not seen drinking.

Lindsay Lohan Finally Completes Probation! Judge Warns: "Obey All Laws, It's Not That Hard"
AKM-GSI
Lindsay Lohan‘s legal nightmare is over. At last.
The beleaguered actress was back in court this morning for what everyone (though no doubt no one more than LiLo herself) hopes is the last time to bring a formal end to her seemingly endless probation in her DUI and necklace heist cases.
“She did it,” Judge Stephanie Sautner said at the start of the lightning-quick hearing. She did indeed. But it’s not quite over for the comebacking kid…

While Lindsay’s probation in her jewelry-jacking case has transitioned to summary, or informal probation, her 2007 DUI case is officially a thing of the past.
“Ms. Lohan has done everything she was ordered to do…probation terminates today. Now,” Sautner said to an audible sigh of relief from LiLo.
“She was given one year to complete it all and she has completed it short of a year, and she has done everything that this court has asked of her.”
As for the city attorney’s necklace case, that’s not quite done, though Sautner today officially converted her probation in that matter to informal probation, meaning Lindsay will no longer be required to check in with a probation officer, have her movements and travel monitored and approved or even turn up for any more progress hearings.

Which will be helpful, as just earlier this morning, Lindsay was granted a Canadian work permit to begin filming an Elizabeth Taylor TV movie for Lifetime.
“You’ve paid all your fees, paid more than you should’ve, but that’s between you and [the probation department],” Sautner told Lohan, adding jokingly, “I wouldn’t go asking for a refund.”
And while Sautner told Lindsay she was “not going to give you a lecture,” she nevertheless humored herself with a small imparting of wisdom.

“The only terms left for you on that case are to obey all laws. It’s not that hard. I know it’s kind of hard when people are following you around all the time, but that’s the life you chose,” she said.
“I’m not going to give you a lecture. Live your life in a more mature way, stop the nightclubbing and focus on your work, OK?”
Before formally parting ways, both Lohan and her attorney, Shawn Holley, thanked the court.
“I just want to say thank you, Your Honor, for being fair, and it’s really opened a lot of doors for me, so I really appreciate it,” Lindsay said.
“I don’t expect to see you again,” Sautner told her. “You know what you have to do.”
And so does the rest of the world, which no doubt will be watching. Lindsay’s informal probation will expire on May 20, 2014. Good luck, Linds. We’re pulling for you.

Looks like she’s heeding the judge’s advice!
Now that her court-ordered formal probation period has ended Lindsay Lohan enjoyed a relaxed dinner at Café Habana in Malibu, Calif. The actress – who was warned during her recent hearing by Judge Stephanie Sautner, “Stop the nightclubbing and focus on your work” – is slated to appear in an episode of Glee, and she was in good spirits, a source says, as she dined with a female friend.
During her leisurely meal, Lohan kept a low profile and split a guacamole appetizer. For dinner, she had grilled shrimp and simply drank a soda.
Lindsay Lohan gets her leisure back
The actress hugged her lawyer Shawn Chapman Holley yesterday following her
court victory, marking the end of her sentence imposed after she was caught
drink-driving in 2007.
Superior Court Judge Stephanie Sautner’s ruling means Lindsay will no longer
need to appear in court or report to a probation officer.
However, she’s still on informal probation for stealing a 1,570 necklace from
a boutique in Venice Beach, LA, last year.
But the big news is that the Mean Girls star no longer faces the immediate
threat of jail or further punishment if she puts a foot wrong.
Lindsay has suffered a turbulent time since she her two DUI arrests she
was in and out of rehab and prison for much of 2010.
But she’s largely steered clear of trouble over the past year and there are
signs of a comeback in her ailing movie career.
Having guest-hosted Saturday Night Live, the actress is due to make a cameo in
hit show Glee and is set to star as the late Elizabeth Taylor in a TV movie.
Judge Sautner praised Lindsay for the progress she has made and the star
thanked the official for her patience.
She said: “I just want to say thank you for being fair. It’s really
opened a lot of doors for me.”

With less than two weeks to go until her probation effectively ends, Lindsay Lohan has been accused of grazing a man’s knee with her car, then driving away. The actress called the accusation as a “complete lie” on Twitter.
Police told the Associated Press that paparazzi surrounded Lohan’s car outside of a Hollywood club early Wednesday, as she attempted to drive away. A man who works at a nearby Hookah Lounge says the car grazed his knee.
Lohan responded to this claim on Twitter:
Scrape? This is all a complete lie. I’ve been at community service. Last night, I attempted to wish a friend happy birthday, which I didn’t even get to do because I was freaked out by all of the paparazzi. These false accusations are absurd.
Indeed, Sgt. Mark Ro told the AP that a police report wasn’t taken because the man wasn’t injured. A woman who said she was an eyewitness told TMZ that Lohan did not hit the man or a car.
Lohan’s publicist told the AP, “We are confident this matter will be cleared up in the next few days.”
The actress, who recently hosted “Saturday Night Live” to mixed reviews, will appear in court March 29 for her final probation hearing. Judge Stephanie Sautner told Lohan at her penultimate court appearance in February that after this next hearing, “all you have to do is obey all laws.”
