BEVERLY HILLS, California: Lindsay Lohan is returning to familiar territory – a criminal court to face a judge who could send her back to jail or rehab for a failed drug test. Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Elden S. Fox will formally determine whether the “Mean Girls” star violated her probation with the drug test in September. If the actress admits the results are accurate – as she has already done publicly – then Fox could return her to jail or order her to remain in an inpatient rehab program. Fox had been expecting Lohan to arrive at court directly from jail, where he ordered her to be held on Sept. 24 after a brief hearing. Within hours another judge had overturned his ruling and the starlet was released on bail. The following week, a person close to the actress told The Associated Press, Lohan entered rehab for the fifth time. The source spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue. Her recent court troubles have put Lohan's career on hold. She missed opportunities to promote her role in the summer film “Machete” because she was in jail and rehab. Her next starring role is supposed to be in a biopic on porn actress Linda Lovelace. Friday's hearing will be Lohan's fifth court appearance since May, when she ran into trouble with her probation on a three-year-old drug and drunken driving case. In July and August, she spent 14 days in jail and 23 days in rehab as punishment for missing several court-ordered weekly counseling sessions.
