Lindsay Lohan Almost In The Clear

Lindsay Lohan is SO close to ending her formal probation.

Sources tell TMZ the L.A. County District Attorney believes Lindsay complied with all the terms of her probation and will have “no objection to Judge Stephanie Sautner terminating Lindsay’s probation in the Beverly Hills DUI case.”

It’s also reported that the L.A. City Attorney believes Lilo’s formal probation could be changed to informal, meaning she no longer needs to regularly check in with a probation officer and judge, and is in the clear for that alleged jewelry theft incident.

The actress will be in court court Thursday for her hearing.

This could be the first time in 4 years Lindsay is not on formal probation.

Lindsay Lohan Is “Clean And Sober” Now

During an interview with Matt Lauer on Thursday’s Today show, Lindsay Lohan declared she’s been ”clean and sober” for a while now.
 
The actress even told Matt that partying is no longer her “thing”.
 
She explained:
“I went out, actually a few months ago with a friend. And I was so uncomfortable. Not because I felt tempted just because it was the same thing that it always was before. And it just wasn’t fun for me. I’ve become more of a homebody. And I like that.”
Lohan added that she’s hoping to regain trust in film the industry:
“I think that that’s gonna take – I think that takes time. And I think that it’s actions. Because people can say things all they want but I think I still need to go through the process of proving myself, you know, with ‘SNL,’ being on time, being, you know, keeping my – can’t say the word – but stuff together.”
We’re excited to see how she performs this weekend during her hosting gig on Saturday Night Live!

Gerard Butler Checks In (And Out) Of Rehab

Gerard Butler is at the Betty Ford Center, where he is being treated for substance abuse.

According to TMZ, the actor’s problems started on the set of 300 back in 2006. His struggles with pain meds got worse when he was injured during the filming of Of Men and Mavericks.

After getting hurt in a surfing accident on December 18th, Gerard supposedly realized he was relying too much on pain meds. So…he decided to enter rehab about 3 weeks ago.

Sources say he’s checking out of Betty Ford later today.

Talk about discrete!

As one of the greatest pop singers of all time, Whitney had previously won six Grammy Awards.
