This is the last time we're going to see Lindsay Lohan emerging from a courthouse. I repeat, we're meant to believe this is the last time.

The Lohan's probation has officially ended. She appeared before Judge Stephanie Sautner yesterday at Los Angeles Superior Court to hear the judge declare "she did it" and confirm she had successfully completed the terms of her probation, which was initially set as punishment for a 2007 driving under the influence (DUI) conviction. But then there was the assualt on a rehab nurse, and the theft of a necklace, probation term flouting, yaddah yaddah.

When the judge terminated the probation, Lindsay (wearing a teal and black outfit by Celine, Givenchy and The Row, in case you had yer eye on it. The string of pearls are presumably her own) smiled broadly and breathed a sigh of relief, before hugging her long-suffering lawyer Shawn Holley.

Then the judge deployed some sage advised Lindsay - grow up and stop going out on the lash.

She said: "I know it's kinda hard when people are following you all of the time, but that's the life you chose (kindly aided along by her doting parents since an early age). You need to live your life in a more mature way, stop clubbing and focus on work."

Lindsay responded "I just want to thank you for being fair. What you've done has really opened a lot of doors for me and I appreciate it."

Lohan will now stay on informal probation relating to a misdemeanour theft last year and must not break any laws for the next 30 months.

The judge told her: "The only terms on that case are to obey all laws. It's not that hard."

For Lindsay, it is that hard. Especially since it's her main source of attention. For example, she still stands accused of a hit-and-run by club manager Thaer Kamal, who says she knocked into him with her Porsche and left the scene the scene earlier this month.

Mr. Kamal is said to be demanding at least $100,000 in compensation from the 'Machete' star, but so far the incident is under investigation by police, and no charges have been filed against Lindsay, nor has she been arrested.
