Just FYI – for all of your Linnocent court coverage, you should definitely check in with us! We’ll have an open post in the afternoon, and then we’ll have coverage of whatever goes down with the judge and all. Linnocent is due in court at 10 a.m. PST, which is 1 pm EST where CB and I are. So… that open post will be coming later today, mmkay?

So, where are we now with Our Cracken? TMZ reported yesterday that their sources within the Probation Department are saying that LL should NOT be going to jail, and that she’ll likely be deemed in “substantial compliance” with the terms of her probation. Of course, the “sources” also cop to the fact that Linnocent did get kicked out of her first community service program for being a crackie mess:

Lindsay Lohan will get some critical support when she goes to court tomorrow … Probation Department sources tell TMZ the Dept. thinks Lindsay has done most of what she’s required to do, and they will NOT recommend that she be thrown in jail.

Our sources say … the Probation Dept. officials will tell the judge in a written report that Lindsay is in “substantial compliance” with the terms of her probation. They concede she was kicked out of the Downtown Women’s Center for habitually failing to show up, but they note that Lindsay has a year to complete 360 hours of community service, and she’s still on track.

And, sources say, the Probation Dept. has been in touch with Lindsay’s shrink, who says she has gone “regularly.” The shrink did not address Judge Stephanie Sautner’s directive that Lindsay go for therapy once a week — because she hasn’t. But, we’re told, the shrink is still satisfied.

We’re told the report will note that Lindsay has completed her shoplifting course.

Judge Sautner made it clear … if Lindsay violated any court order, she would go to jail. So now it’s up to Herhonner to decide if Lindsay went astray or whether a few missteps don’t count.

And the California legal system continues to not give a flying f–k about any of this. Well, for the most part. TMZ also reports that the L.A. City Attorney’s Office “will ask the judge tomorrow to violate Lindsay’s probation and send her to jail.” Their position is that Linnocent’s crack shenanigans at the Downtown Women’s Center are enough to get her violated and sent to jail. Good luck, prosecutors!

Considering how it’s going to take an act of Congress to get this crackhead in any kind of locked-down situation, it’s surprising to me that Linnocent is still doing some PR moves to look good to the court. Radar reports that she “recently” donated $50,000 to a children’s charity… and she announced it just hours before she was due in court! Shocking, I know.

Lindsay Lohan has been under fire recently for her questionable behavior but she has managed to find some time, and money, to give back to those in need, RadarOnline.com can exclusively report.

The beleaguered starlet recently donated $50,000 to a children’s charity, called The Baby and I Foundation and she did so in honor of her mother, Dina.

“Lindsay was really keen to make a donation to the charity,” a source close to the situation tells RadarOnline.com. “Her main motivating factor was that she hoped to make children’s lives easier by way of their own mothers, as her own mom has done for her.”

The Baby and I Foundation provides assistance to economically at-risk expectant mothers ages 14-24 in the Metro-Atlanta area. They work to reassure expectant mothers that they will have access to the essentials needed for the successful delivery and development of their newborns for the first year of life. In addition, they “provide prenatal and postnatal services that facilitate parental success, thus enhancing the well-being of both mother and child.”

The source says that Lindsay learned of the charity after Dina was approached by them to be their spokesperson — she declined, but a week later Lindsay made the hefty donation.

The source points out that there could be another motivating factor behind the generous move though, besides just goodwill.

“It’s kind of convenient timing,” the source says. “Just as she gets all this negative publicity and is getting ready to head back to court, she’s shown to have a good heart and a caring nature. I’m sure it can only help her case when she has to plead before the judge.”

The source continued, “Did you know the sky is blue? And grass is green too. Are you holding? Do you want to do a bump in the bathroom?” And then the “source” sniffed and pouted her crack lips. Also: where did Linnocent get 50 grand? From “working” in Europe? Still, I’m going to wait until the charity confirms the donation, because I suspect that a decimal got misplaced. Cue Linnocent rolling her eyes: “I never said $50,000! I said 50 DOLLARS. You are so MEAN.”

UPDATE: TMZ has this new story too:

Good News for Lindsay Lohan: The judge who could end up sending her to jail has decided she doesn’t have to do any community service, at least for now.

Bad News for Lindsay Lohan: She’ll be sweeping up blood and guts at the L.A. County Morgue.

Sources connected with the Probation Department tell TMZ … Judge Stephanie Sautner contacted Probation officials and told them to immediately yank Lindsay from her current community service assignment with the Red Cross. We’re told Judge Sautner ordered the Probation people to immediately assign Lindsay to morgue duty.

It’s clearly a sign the judge is pissed off — probably at the Probation Dept. for pulling a switcheroo by taking Lindsay out of the Downtown Women’s Center, where the judge ordered Lindsay to perform 360 hours of community service. Judge Sautner also ordered Lindsay to do 120 hours at the morgue, and now that’s taken top billing.

As for pissing off the judge, we’ve learned there’s something in the Probation report that will probably do just that. Lindsay’s probation officer wrote that Lindsay had problems with the Women’s Center, because it was “not fulfilling.” One more time — Lindsay complained the Woman’s Center was “NOT FULFILLING.”

We broke the story the Probation Department believes Lindsay has NOT violated her probation, but prosecutors feel the opposite is true and they want her in the slammer.

So Linnocent will be on morgue duty, which was part of her original sentence. I don’t get how this is a good sign for people who want to see Linnocent go to jail, though. Obviously, the judge is still obsessed with this idea that community service will change LL’s ways, and that’s just not going to happen.
