Michelle Rodriguez’s ‘Lost’ Return Not Just A Tequila-Fueled Hallucination
3:10AM Seth | Though she’s had her fair number of brushes with the law, Michelle Rodriguez continues to confound the industry by working steadily. She’s currently filming Avatar, a grueling shoot that requires her to wear a motion-capture device not unlike an old-fashioned diving suit, as James Cameron’s Jesus Cameras™ provide the required fantasy spacescapes around her. There’s also her exciting Shell-truck-detonating work in Fast and Furious. But for millions of Lost fans worldwide, she will forever be remembered as Ana Lucia Cortez—a castaway cop snuffed by the cruel hand of overpopulated-island fate, plus a network head sick of reading about her latest arrests. EW.com now reports that all fences and landmass-disappearing donkey wheels have been mended, as Rodriguez is set to return for a single episode, probably as a “flashback or via hallucination,” in the coming season.

8:43AM Defamer Hollywood | True, celebrity mugshots bring us joy all year round, but there’s something about the final few of the year, as reassuring as a Happy Everything card dropped in our mailbox from an old friend, that truly touches us in the most tender quadrants of our hearts: a happy reminder that regardless of what strife is thrown at us, life in Hollywood will go on. And so we share with you this booking photo of stalwart recidivist Michelle Rodriguez, who checked herself into former Hilton-rehabilitating facility Lynwood on Sunday for the first of a Kiefer-eclipsing 180-day sentence for failing to perform court-ordered community service and drinkin’ on the SCRAM.

Michelle Rodriguez Sent Back To Jail For Continuing To Behave Like Michelle Rodriguez
6:35AM Defamer Hollywood | Michelle Rodriguez will be returning to jail, TMZ reports alongside one of their trademarked mid-hiccup screen grabs, for having repeatedly violated the terms of her DUI parole. (More specifically for lying about having fulfilled her 30 days of community service.) She was sentenced to 120 days in jail, though the judge did not specify if those were Richie days or Hilton days, meaning the Lost casualty could wind up again out in under five hours and partying the same night at the Roosevelt, or forced to live out the full four months among a “primal crew” of like-minded lady convincts who live for their Friday night soap-dice craps games and extreme salt-fighting championships.

Did Michelle Rodriguez Fall Off The Parole-Adherence Wagon?
8:00AM Defamer Hollywood | While repeat DUI-offender Michelle Rodriguez’s employment woes have been temporarily staved off, having won a role in James Cameron’s hotly anticipated Avatar, her legal troubles continue to come up on her like a Spam-and-cheese sandwich after one too many after-work Scorpion Bowls. At issue is an L.A. parole violation for her drunk driving arrest in Hawaii in 2005, for which she was sentenced to 60 days in jail, and which, in typical celebrity justice fashion, turned into 4 hours and 27 minutes of hard time, and 30 mandated days of community service. Now prosecutors are claiming she came up short, and lied about the days she claimed she did work: Prosecutors in Los Angeles want the former “Lost” star’s probation on several charges including hit and run and driving under the influence, revoked for allegedly failing to fulfil her community service obligations.
