Lindsay Lohan is due in court today. Apparently, everything is going down at 10 am PST, which is 1 pm EST, or any minute now. You can see the live feed here at TMZ . I’m not expecting much, and as such, I plan to make my way to the gym this afternoon. Thus, you can treat this post like your “Linnocent Open Post” and discuss all things “breaking news.” According to both Radar and TMZ, LL is doing okay with her structured probation , although the hint of the old crackie is still coming through: Lindsay Lohan will once again face a judge in Los Angeles Tuesday morning for a progress report related to her probation for separate drunken driving and shoplifting cases. The hearing, scheduled to begin at approximately 10am PST, is expected to be like her last court appearance — short and without any surprises. The Mean Girls star, 25, has been working at the L.A. County Morgue and attending psychotherapy sessions in accordance with the terms of her probation — and most importantly, she’s been staying out of trouble. As RadarOnline.com has previously reported last year, after Lohan repeatedly slacked off on her probation, a clearly fed-up Superior Court Judge Stephanie Sautner imposed a series of tough new rules last November, including monthly updates with the court. At that time, Judge Sautner warned the troubled actress that if, during any of the monthly progress hearings, it was determined she was not in compliance with the terms of her probation, she would be sent back to jail — for 270 days. Meanwhile, Lindsay’s comeback continues: after her photo spread in Playboy, she’s now in line to play the late Elizabeth Taylor in a Lifetime movie about the legendary actress, although Megan Fox is also said to be in talks for the coveted role. [From Radar ] Yes, this is how LL spends her days. She works at the morgue a few times a month, she goes to therapy, she parties at the Marmont, she hangs out with Kim Kardashian at a post-Globes party, and she leaks information about her “jobs” to TMZ and Radar. At the same time E! News revealed that Megan Fox was also up for the Elizabeth Taylor role in that Lifetime movie , LL was telling TMZ that she totally signing on for the part. Lindsay Lohan is ready to sign on to play Liz Taylor, and she’s going to complete her community service faster than required to clear the decks for shooting the flick. Lindsay — who will appear in court at 10 AM PT for her probation progress hearing — is in the final stages of negotiating the deal — this according to sources very close to the actress/perpetual defendant. We’re told the plan is to sign the deal early next week. And we’re told … Lindsay is actually getting more scripts than she’s received in years — apparently producers have noticed she’s finally showing some maturity. As for today … as we first reported Lindsay has completed the required morgue work and psychotherapy sessions. If all goes well, she’ll be off probation at the end of March. [From TMZ ] “…According to sources very close to the actress/perpetual defendant.” LOL. “According to one of the crackhead/crack-model’s drug buddies/Mother Crack, The Cracken is going to sign on to a Lifetime movie! FOR REAL.” Pathetic. But seriously, I’m not expecting any fireworks for today’s hearing, so just enjoy these photos of LL at the post-Globes party. I’ll update if anything goes down. UPDATE: Yeah, the progress report went well . TMZ reports that Judge Sautner “gushed that Lindsay’s probation officer had written a glowing probation report.” The judge also said, “Keep doing what you’re doing. You appear to be doing very well.” LL’s next court date is February 22nd – will she be back to her old crackie ways by then? If Lindsay stays on track — like she’s been doing — her probation will end on March 29th. Photos courtesy of Fame and WENN.
