Lindsay appeared in a Beverly Hills court Friday after the alcohol education program she had been attended sent a letter to Superior Court Judge Marsha N. Revel saying Lindsay had not been attending classes.

Lindsay was ordered to appear in court to attend a progress report hearing based on the charges that she didn’t finish the classes. Lindsay reportedly was an hour and a half late for court.

Lindsay’s attorney explained that the actress took the time off to make a movie in Texas (Machete), which she recently finished up.

The judge extended her probation by one year so she could make up the classes she missed and warned her to notify the court before any more absences. I hope Lindsay takes the judge’s remarks seriously.

Lindsay hasn’t completed 11 of her 26 court-ordered classes and must get those classes completed within the next year. A follow-up court date was set for Dec. 15, according to Access Hollywood.

Lindsay was arrested in 2007 for DUI. Cocaine was also found in the vehicle, according to police.

In August 2007, Lindsay pleaded no contest to the charges. She was sentenced to three years probation, spent 24 hours in jail and was also ordered to attend an 18-month alcohol education program for drunk driving, reckless driving and driving under the influence of cocaine, FOX news said.

According to TMZ, Lindsay’s appearance has to do with whether or not she has been living up to the terms of her probation from her and it may be about her court-ordered alcohol education classes. Linday pled no contest to DUI in 2007.

E! Online said reports show the court order was issued without a warrant during a routine progress check (good!).

It is possible that if the judge determines Lindsay violated the terms of her probation, it could be revoked and Lindsay could end up in jail. But let’s hope that doesn’t happen.

And it’s possible that this court date has nothing to do with her probation — so we will just have to wait and see on Friday.

Back in January, Lindsay almost violated her probation because she didn’t update her address and was summoned to court — I wonder if this could be the problem again?

In other news, remember when Lindsay was tweeting about going to the Asher Roth concert and finding him less than nice? Apparently Lindsay had requested to come on stage while Asher sang She Don’t Want a Man, but he refused. Asher told Perez Hilton, “Lindsay Lohan’s not my scene.” Ouch.

Lindsay was taking advantage of the warming weather by wearing a white racerback tank, though it showed off how thin her shoulders have become. I hope Lindsay picks up again to a more healthy balance in her life!

Does the car look familiar? Well, it should! Lindsay Lohan owned a 2005 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class car. It’s the one she crashed into a tree.

According to these sources, Lindsay Lohan has moved out of Samantha Ronson’s house and not telling the court has meant a technical foul against her case.

Lindsay was supposed to re-enroll for her alcohol education course using her new address, with a deadline of January 2nd. Lindsay was late, according to E!, in re-enrolling.

“It was just a technicality,” Los Angeles Superior Court spokeswoman Vania Stuelp tells E! News. “They have fixed the addresses and paperwork, and there is no violation of probation.”

Nothing has come of being late, if indeed this is at all true. Lindsay’s lawyer, Blair Berk, was said to have done a good job with the judge making sure everything was ok. There will be another hearing on February 5th when Lindsay needs to prove re-enrollment in the course.

So, does this mean that Lindsay Lohan did move out of Samantha Ronson’s house? And are we to infer that means something more? I am not sure that it necessarily means they broke up – but perhaps have kept a healthy distance with this move?

Ronnie Blake, Jakon Sutter and Dante Nigro claim that Lindsay hijacked their car and began chasing her ex-assistant’s mother, Michele Peck. Lindsay has already been sued by a passenger in the mother’s car, Tracie Rice, although the lawsuit from these 3 passengers was a long time coming.

Ronnie, Jakon and Dante are claiming that Lindsay endangered their lives, saying she was openly hostile and didn’t care what she did, perhaps feeling a sense of entitlement over being a celebrity. The lawsuit they file claims she ran red lights, eventually landing at the police department where she was arrested for DUI. Her case for this was already settled.

The new suit by the 3 passengers of the vehicle seeks unspecified compensatory and punitive damages. Lindsay Lohan’s lawyer calls the suit “absurd.”
