Lindsay Lohan returns to court for final update on probation
(CBS/AP) Lindsay Lohan returns to court today for a hearing that could give her back something she hasn't had for nearly two years: Freedom.
The actress will give a judge her final update on strict probation requirements that have had her doing cleanup duty at the county morgue and attending regular psychotherapy sessions since late last year. Superior Court Judge Stephanie Sautner has said she will end Lohan's probation on a 2007 drunken driving case on Thursday if she completes the requirements, which Lohan has apparently done.
The "Mean Girls" star will remain on informal probation for taking a necklace without permission, but she will no longer be supervised by a probation officer and judge and no longer be forced to live in Los Angeles, where the actress still faces civil lawsuits over accidents and her bad behavior.
The hearing comes as Lohan's career is showing hints of a comeback. She is due to guest star on an upcoming episode of "Glee," recently hosted a highly rated but criticized episode of "Saturday Night Live" and is set to star as Elizabeth Taylor in a television movie.
Roles have been hard to come by for Lohan in recent years as she has been in-and-out of courtrooms, admitted to rehab and sentenced to jail. Resolving the case will provide the actress with the chance for something Hollywood has bestowed to plenty of other fallen stars: A comeback.
