Thumbnail image for lindsay_lohan_skinny_bitch_t_shirt.jpgOh, come on! It's another day, another totally ridiculous story from the abnormal reality that is Lindsay Lohan. Lindsay, as you may recall, has had several brushes with the law. There's every reason for her to be in jail - and yet she's not. The latest? She still hasn't completed classes to fulfill a 2007 DUI conviction. Yeah, 'cuz she's soooo busy with her career. Details: 

[Not only do laws not apply to Lohan, but the consequences obviously don't either. This morning she was due in court to explain why she's violated the terms of her 2007 DUI probation by refusing to complete her alcohol education class. Keep in mind, Lindsay's choice was to take the class or go to jail. She's had two years.]

And here's the detailed breakdown of how her brief moments in court went down, courtesy of TMZ: 

[Lindsay Lohan showed up in court today with her lawyer, Shawn Chapman Holley, to explain to a judge why she missed her alcohol education classes.

12:59 PM ET -- Lindsay Lohan just arrived and was holding her lawyer's hand.


1:05 PM ET -- Lindsay's attorney is giving the DA updated info on Lindsay's alcohol program.
1:07 PM ET -- Her lawyer says Lindsay has completed 15 of 26 group alcohol classes and 13 of 26 individual alcohol classes and 16 of 28 self help sessions.


1:08 PM ET - Chapman Holley says Lindsay is moving to Texas and is asking for a leave of absence from the program.


1:09 PM ET -- Lindsay's lawyer wants the judge to extend her probation a year so she can complete the program.


1:10 PM ET -- The DA says if the court has to jump through hoops for Lindsay again, they want her to see jail time.


1:11 PM ET - The judge has agreed to extend Lindsay's probation.


1:13 PM ET - The judge said she is "rooting for [Lindsay] to successfully complete her terms of probation."


1:22 PM ET - The judge is allowing Lindsay to go to New York and another progress hearing has been set for December 15.]

The judge is "rooting" for Lindsay to complete the paltry remainder of her probation for a serious crime - and I'm "rooting" for the justice system to stop creaming in it's collective pants every time they cross paths with someone famous.
