She's used to slapping on the war paint for parties and modelling assignments, but you'd think Lindsay Lohan might tone the eyeliner down at the the morgue. You'd think it, but you'd be wrong, as the 25-year-old was sporting heavily flicked kohl at the LA County Morgue today as she took a drag on a cigarette. But then, when your whole life is a photo opportunity, you never know when to expect a close up.
It's hardly appropriate, however, when her duties include cleaning down autopsy tables, scrubbing floors and cleaning toilets. She has already put in time on Tuesday of this week and last Friday, having turned up late the day before and being turned away.
Judge Stephanie Sautner ordered Lindsay to undertake at least 16 hours at her court hearing last week before her next appearance on November 2. Lohan had her probation revoked by the judge, who will decide whether to formally find her in violation next week.
Sautner was livid that the Mean Girls star had failed to show up to the Downtown Women's Centre in Los Angeles on nine occasions to perform community service she was ordered to do for shoplifting a necklace earlier this year.
Lindsay has already put in two full days and completed 16 hours at the morgue - but it looks like she is trying to court favour with the judge by putting in some extra hours. And while her recent legals woes make it understandable why the former child star was in need of a cigarette, she reportedly quit the health damaging habit in March this year. It did not take long for her to get back to her old ways, as she has been pictured puffing away on numerous occasions. since.
However the troubled star did recently reveal she is attempting to go on a health kick. She said: 'I actually think I've gone through enough in my life that I appreciate getting up at 7 or 8 in the morning and going spinning. I like that kind of routine.' 'When asked how tough the cycling workout can be, she replied, "It is... it's exhausting.' Of course fitness fans will know that smoking is bad for the cardiovascular system, which will make endurance activities such as spinning even more difficult. There is an added benefit to her recent love of early rises as she attempts to get back in shape though.
It will come in handy if she is forced to return to Lynwood Correctional Facility, where she served her last jail stint. And given how the Herbie Fully Loaded star has exasperated Judge Sautner by repeatedly flouting her probation conditions, there is a fair chance she will soon be getting used to the early morning roll call. And is she is sent there she will struggle for another reason - it is a non-smoking detention centre.
