Lindsay Lohan is already out of jail. She checked into the Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood, California just before 9 p.m.. to begin serving her 30 day jail sentence. She served just four hours and was released due to jail overcrowding. The 25-year-old actress was sentenced last Wednesday after admitting that she violated her probation by not keeping up with court-ordered community service requirements#WhiteGirlProblems
I'm bored with this girl.....A contrite Lindsay Lohan admitted to violating her probation in DUI cases and was ordered Wednesday to serve a month in jail. The troubled starlet, 25, must report to jail by Nov. 9. After her release, she also must continue to do community service at the Los Angeles morgue and attend psychotherapy sessions, a judge announced at the hearing. If Lohan completes all the terms, she will not have to serve an additional 270 outstanding days of jail time she had faced in cases in Beverly Hills and Los Angeles.
*in my Tyra Banks voice* I was rooting for you....we were all rooting for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!What was meant to be a routine progress report stemming from a jewelry theft case ended Wednesday with actress Lindsay Lohan leaving the courtroom in handcuffs. Judge Stephanie Sautner made it clear throughout the hearing that "probation is a gift," and the troubled starlet did not meet her required hours of community service. "I'm revoking her probation," said Sautner. "Miss Lohan has created an impossibility to perform this sentence that was given to her by her own actions," she said. The actress, who arrived in court wearing a white top and white scarf, was taken into custody. A hearing was tentatively set for Nov. 2. Bail was set $100,000. During Wednesday's hearing, the judge focused on nine appointments at the Downtown Women's Center that Lohan missed. The judge also noted the sessions were supposed to last four hours. Lohan allegedly visited once and only stayed for about an hour. (MORE)
Only a day after being released from a federal prison, T.I. has hit another snag. The Southern rapper is back in federal custody after being removed from a halfway house. Steve Sadow, Tip’s lawyer, tells The Associated Press that prison officials objected to his client’s use of a tour bus to move from the Federal Correctional Center in Forrest City, Arkansas, to a halfway house in Atlanta. “[The Federal Bureau of Prisons] has moved T.I. to a different facility,” Sadow explained. “There appears to be confusion surrounding the method of transportation.” T.I. had arranged his own travel between the two locations, arriving in a luxury tour bus with his entourage. The U.S. Bureau of Prisons’ website listed the rapper as being “in transit” as of Thursday evening. His location was not disclosed. The 30-year-old MC was released from an Arkansas facility on Wednesday morning, 10 months after he began serving a sentence for a parole violation from a gun conviction. The remainder of his 11-month sentence is to be carried out in a community service center or halfway house in Atlanta. Upon his release, he immediately began filming a new reality TV show for VH1 documenting his return. The 10-episode series is scheduled to start airing December 5 at 10 p.m.All this for riding in a tour bus?!?!? I guess....
T.I. was released from prison early Wednesday morning (August 31) and is on his way to a halfway house to serve out the rest of his 11-month sentence for probation violation. MTV News received confirmation from Federal Bureau of Prisons spokesman Chris Burke that T.I. was released from Forrest City Correctional Facility in Arkansas at 7:29 a.m. and is on his way to a community living facility. The name of the facility will not be released until after his arrival. The Atlanta rapper has been serving time for a probation violation stemming for his arrest in Los Angeles on drug charges last year. The King has already taken to Twitter to announce his return. "Feels great to be back where I belong...Back in the arms of those who need me the most," he tweeted from his verified @Tip account. "The storm is over & da sun back out. IT'S OUR TIME TO SHINE SHAWTY!!!!! Welcome to the beginning of our Happy Ending!!!!" Fans will be getting an intimate look at T.I.'s return to freedom in December thanks to a new show with VH1. In the still untitled series, viewers will get a behind-the-scenes look at T.I., and his wife Tameka 'Tiny' Harris, as he tries to walk the straight and narrow and stay out of prison for good. The series is set to premiere on December 5 at 10 p.m.Way to get back to work, TIP! Congrats....

Wright tells us the judge was "very understanding" of his explanation -- that he had placed the gun in a backpack weeks ago and simply forgot about it -- and released him on bail.That would be a good move!
Wright says he was "completely shocked" when TSA agents discovered the gun in his bag -- but tells us, "I had my license and [the judge] did me right and let me out."
He adds, "The TSA did their job ... I just hate that it was me because I'm about positivity and motivation."
When asked if he will ask the court to return the gun, Wright tells us, "Yes, i want my gun back" ... but insists the next time he travels, he'll leave the piece at home.
"He did leave us well off. All of the rumors about Ja being broke are far from true." Aisha adds, "Ja made sure ... that me and my kids wouldn't need anything as far as income goes. He planned well before he went in. We won't be bad ... even for a little bit -- that was Ja's first priority as a man who makes sure family comes first." Ja was sentenced to serve two years in a NY state prison stemming from a gun-related arrest back in 2007.Spotted
Former Giants receiver plaxico Burress strolled out of jail Monday wearing a Philadelphia Phillies cap on his head and a big smile on his face after 20 months behind bars. "It's a beautiful day," Burress said as he left the medium-security Oneida Correctiona Facility in Rome, NY. "It's a beautiful day to be reunited with my family. I want to go home and spend some quality time with them." Wearing shades, Burress thanked God and "all my fans all around the world for the thousands of letters, for their unwavering support." Asked about a possible return to pro football, Burress answered, "If and when everything gets settled, when they get back on the field, I'll be ready." Then Burress climbed into a black Range Rover and headed for the Turning Stone Casino and Result to meet his wife, Tiffany, his son, Elijah, and a daughter, Giovanna, who was born while he was behind bars. He was expected to board a flight to his home outside Ft. Lauderdale, FL by 11 a.m. Burress, 33, spent a lot of time running and doing strength exercise with an eye to returning to the NFL while doing time for a gun charge, his agent,Drew Rosenhaus, said.Hmmmmm. Wonder what team he is going to next? I'm quite certain that he will never return to the Giants after they released him.
Lindsay Lohan, 24, began serving house arrest Thursday morning at her Venice, Calif., townhouse after turning herself in to the Lynwood Jail hours earlier. "She is now confined to the interior premises of her home at all times," L.A. Sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore tells PEOPLE. Whitmore adds that Lohan surrendered to the facility at 5:02 a.m., where it was determined she was eligible for home confinement. The actress was fitted with an electronic ankle bracelet and released in less than an hour. No booking photo was taken. Lohan had been sentenced to four months in jail after she pleaded no contest to stealing a $2,500 necklace, but jail overcrowding issues and the fact that she's a nonviolent offender made her eligible for house arrest. The actress, however, could serve a little over two weeks of confinement due to good behavior and budgetary constraints. Whitmore declined to say whether any exceptions would allow Lohan to leave her home. But he previously stated that her ankle bracelet will not be detecting for drugs or alcohol. Lohan also serving 480 hours of community service – mostly at a downtown women's shelter – and is expected to serve janitorial duty at the L.A. County morgue. At her last hearing, the judge forbade the actress to attend community service while under house arrest.
After a topsy-turvy day in court, Lindsay Lohan was found in violation of probation – and sentenced to four months in jail – on Friday, for allegedly stealing a $2,500 necklace. The actress, who was allowed to post bail, was also sentenced to 480 hours of community service by a Los Angeles judge. Lohan, 24, arrived at Lynwood Jail at approximately 5:30 p.m. PT in a sheriff's vehicle – her fourth trip to the facility – where she was given an orange jumpsuit. She was released at 9:21 p.m., according to inmate records. Earlier in the day, Lohan, 24, scored a legal victory when Judge Stephanie Sautner reduced her felony grand theft charge to a misdemeanor, explaining she was "giving [Lohan] an opportunity," because reducing charges for nonviolent defendants is common in more serious cases than Lohan's. Because of the reduction, Lohan was granted $75,000 bail for the probation violation while pending appeal.
"She is fine," says producer Nathan Folks, who is a close friend of Lohan, 24. "Obviously, she is upset about [being sentenced to four months in jail]. She is angry because she has been working so hard on turning her life around," says Folks, who insists Lohan is clean and sober. "She didn't do what they said she did. She didn't steal that necklace." Still, Lohan is resigned to accept whatever decision comes down from the court when her trial begins June 3. "She is ready to do her time. She wants to go to A.A. and N.A. and to serve her [more than] 400 hours [of community service]," Folks says. "She has already been doing lots of charity work."Source

Lindsay Johan will be charged with felony grand theft ... TMZ has learned. Sources connected with the case tell TMZ the L.A. County District Attorney will file the case as early as Monday. Lindsay is accused of stealing a $2,500 necklace from a Venice, CA jewelry store on January 22. Surveillance video from the store shows Lindsay with the necklace in question and there are photos of her wearing what appears to be the same necklace a week later. If convicted ... Lindsay faces a maximum of three years in state prison. Sources connected with Lindsay tell TMZ ... Lindsay says she'll fight the charge and she's sticking with her story that she took the jewelry on loan. The case could also have a dramatic impact on her ongoing DUI case in Beverly Hills since she is currently on probation. The D.A.'s office just issued a statement to an L.A. wire service that no decision has been made. TMZ reiterates -- Lindsay Lohan will be charged with felony grand theft.So Dancers, whose side are you on??? I would think that Lindsay isn't that STUPID to steal a $2,500 necklace knowing that she is already on probation and could easily go back to prison. But celebrities have done far worse IMO.
Sources connected with Lindsay tell TMZ ... LiLo thinks, "People just don't believe me and know I'm in a vulnerable position." She thinks the jewelry store owner is seizing the moment by concocting a story that Lindsay stole the jewelry. Lindsay insists it was loaned to her.
And we're told ... Lindsay is "extremely nervous" about the prospect of going back to jail. Although she refers to the possible penalty as jail, it's actually a lot worse ... State prison.
Lindsay is telling people, "Nothing is worth going back."
T.I.'s wife Tiny confirms ... the two were in a room together during regular visiting hours at Arkansas State Prison when Tiny made like Michael Jackson ... and beat it.
According to prison guidelines, inmates are allowed to kiss and embrace at the beginning and at the end of a visit as well as hold hands -- but "the inmate’s hands must remain in plain view of Visiting Room staff at all times."
Tiny says she hasn't spoken to T.I. since the incident -- but she's hopeful she'll be allowed to visit again soon ... as long as she keeps her hand to herself.This is BEYOND embarrassing, but I'm gonna go out on a limb and say....EFF IT! That's her husband, DAMMIT!!! He was probably majorly in need, and I'm almost positive that this isn't the first time that it has happened.

Prosecutors in central Indiana have filed felony domestic battery and child neglect charges against a star of the MTV reality show "Teen Mom." Anderson police began investigating 20-year-old Amber Portwood after a September episode showed her slapping, choking and kicking the 24-year-old father of her daughter. Portwood was arrested Monday and jailed under a 24-hour hold until Tuesday afternoon. Detective Mitch Carroll tells The Herald Bulletin that the child neglect charges stem from Portwood's then-1-year-old daughter being present during two filmed instances of domestic violence. The Associated Press left a telephone message seeking comment Tuesday at the office of Portwood's attorney Robert Schembs. Anne Houseworth of the Indiana Department of Child Services said dozens of viewers called the state's child abuse hotline to report Portwood's outbursts.SMH
This experience is truly a pain I have never felt before and that's saying a lot for a nigga who's been down locked up as many times as I have. I see this as a real ass whoopin'. The kind you don't just go back outside to play afterwards. You take ya ass to bed and don't come out of your room until it's time to go to school. I don' t know what effect this will have on my life moving forward but I'm certainly sick and mother f*cking tired of going to jail, juve, prison, the pen, correctional facilities or whatever else you want to call it. I'd have been better off doing a 5-10 year bid one time than going in time and time again for days, weeks and months for the last 15 years of my life. Even though it's been a long road, I'm still standing, barely but nevertheless still standing. At one time I thought my motivation for continuing was for my fans, my partna Philant, my pops, my grandmama, even for the haters or the people I let down. But nah... I got to do this shit for me!!! I'll be God damned if I've come all this way and made it through so much hell to let it go down like this! F*ck that! If an hour in the dark is worth a second in the sun then pass me my mother f*ckin' shades cause I'm ready to cash my darkest hours in...ASAP!!! A lot of folks had fathers or father figures in the house to raise them into manhood. I'm not trying to make any excuses for my situation but my father was a hustler that lived in New York. My uncle was a local big time dope boy turned 10 year federal inmate. My mother and grandparents did the best they could but I found my manhood in the trap and in prison systems. But I found it. And nan one of mine will ever have to feel the cold tight grip of a handcuff or grace the presence of a jail cell if I can help it. Over my dead body! So if you can't respect that you ain't rocking with my movement then Fuck you dog! I know a bunch of mother f*ckers who are.....It's really unfortunate that we (including myself) don't think about the consequences of our actions until it's too late. I will tell you this, NO ONE is perfect, and the only way to right your wrongs is to do better when the opportunity presents itself. Hopefully he gets his life together for his wife, kids and especially himself.
- Love KING
