LITTLE ROCK — Lindsay Lohan reported Tuesday for a 90-day sentence that the troubled actress likely will serve in isolation and that may be significantly shortened. The 24-year old Lohan showed up at a Beverly Hills, Calif., courtroom about 10 minutes late. After a short hearing, she rose and was handcuffed behind her back to serve her time for a probation violation. Lohan was accompanied to court by her mother, Dina, and younger sister Ali, who wiped away tears after her sister was taken into a lockup. She was then taken across town to the Century Regional Detention Facility in the industrial suburb of Lynwood. Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Marsha Revel ordered Lohan to report to probation officials within a day of her release from jail. The judge had previously ordered Lohan to report within two days.Revel also has ordered officials not to allow Lohan to serve any of her sentence on house arrest or work release. Two weeks ago the judge determined that the Mean Girls star violated her probation by missing seven alcohol education classes since December.

Much about the shop was the same as in the days before Seinfeld made the place famous, including its strict ordering rules, now posted in nine languages. “THE LINE MUST BE KEPT MOVING. Pick the soup you want! Have your money ready! Move to the extreme left after ordering!
