LINDSAY Lohan has been ordered to attend a probation hearing today that could result in jail time for reportedly missing alcohol education classes imposed for a 2007 drunken driving case.
Court officials said on Tuesday that Beverly Hills Superior Court judge Marsha Revel had ordered her to attend a progress review in person.
The order follows reports that Lohan, 23, has attended only 10 of 13 alcohol education classes required of her, and months of partying in Los Angeles and New York.
But tourt documents obtained by celebrity website TMZ.com on Tuesday showed those running the alcohol education program felt Lohan's attitude was "positive and receptive to ideas regarding lifestyle changes."
The report filed for today's court hearing added that Lohan "has never come (to class) under the influence, been rude or disrespectful."
Lohan's attorney did not return calls for comment.
Lohan has been in France for the Cannes film festival this week amid rumors that she will be cast as 1970s "Deep Throat" porn star Linda Lovelace in an upcoming biography film.
Judicial sources said if Lohan is found to have failed to comply with the order to attend classes Revel could decide to sentence her to jail. That would likely result in another hearing at which a sentence would be imposed.
Revel in October extended Lohan's three years probation for another year and warned her to get serious about the alcohol program. It was part of her sentence for a 2007 arrest for drunk driving, reckless driving and driving under the influence of cocaine.
Lohan was also sentenced to 24 hours in jail in 2007 but spent just 84 minutes behind bars because of overcrowding in Los Angeles lock-ups.
