Actress Lindsay Lohan attends her progress hearing at the Airport Branch Courthouse in Los Angeles on October 19. Troubled US actress Lindsay Lohan was turned away from the LA county morgue Thursday, after turning up late for community service ordered as part of her probation, officials said. Troubled US actress Lindsay Lohan was turned away from the LA county morgue Thursday, after turning up late for community service ordered as part of her probation terms, officials said. The star apologized for being late, her latest no-show, saying on Twitter than she wouldn't do it again. Lohan had been scheduled to arrive for an 8:00 am start, a day after she was briefly jailed when a Los Angeles judge revoked the probation pending a hearing to determine whether she violated her terms. The 25-year-old turned at 8:41 am, and was therefore turned away for being late, said coroner's chief Craig Harvey. "She's welcome to come back, but she has to show up on time," he said. The star of "Mean Girls" appeared handcuffed in court on Wednesday, but was later released after paying $100,000 bail, and a probation violation hearing was set for November 2. Lohan apologized for being late on Twitter, writing: "With all the stress and pressure from yesterday and today, I've never been so happy to go to therapy!!!!"

"Also, I'm sorry for the confusion that I may of caused to those at the coroner's office. Won't happen again, now I know where to go! Thank you for your help," she added.
Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Stephanie Sautner said Wednesday that Lohan had failed to complete the 480 hours of community service as ordered for her jewelry theft conviction.
Most of the hours had been due to be completed at the Downtown Women's Center as ordered, but Lohan missed nine appointments. And when she did attend, Sautner said she sometimes only stayed for one hour, rather than the required minimum of four.
"There has been violation after violation," Sautner said. "Probation is a gift. It's a gift. It's not a right."
Lohan was sentenced to 35 days of house detention in May, as part of a plea bargain over the alleged theft of a $2,500 necklace from a jewelry shop near her home in Venice Beach.
Sautner ruled she had violated her probation for a 2007 drug and drunk driving offense when she allegedly stole the necklace on January 22.
Lohan -- once the promising child star of hit Disney movies "The Parent Trap" and "Freaky Friday" -- has a reputation for hard partying and has faced a series of legal tangles.

Lohan back in court and being sued by the Betty Ford clinic for $1 million (USD) for an alleged assault on an employee



Lindsay Lohan made a brief appearance in a Los Angeles court Thursday (July 21) for a probation hearing. The judge said Lohan needs to speed up her community service to make sure she meets a deadline to complete 480 hours within a year. The actress has completed 33 hours at a shelter for women. Lohan has completed one shoplifters anonymous class and is having trouble enrolling in court-ordered psychological counseling. Lohan will have to return to court on Oct. 19 for another update. Lohan has another legal worry to deal with. The 25 year old was sued on Thursday (July 21) for $1 million (USD) for an alleged assault on an employee of the California rehab center where the actress spent three months in treatment for drug and alcohol abuse. The former employee claimed in a civil lawsuit that Lohan:
  1. yelled at her
  2. threw a phone at her
  3. grabbed her wrist and twisted it
Of course the only reason this happened (allegedly) was when Lohan was asked to submit to a breathalyzer test in December at the Betty Ford Center near Palm Springs.
