Lindsay Lohan -- Free To Roam Today
Filed under: Lindsay Lohan, Celebrity Justice
It's been thirty-five days since she began her grueling house arrest -- and now, Lindsay Lohan is moments away from sweet, sweet freedom.
The tracking device placed on Lindsay's ankle will be removed -- probably this morning -- and she will be free to roam the streets of Venice -- and beyond -- as she pleases.
Lindsay will then sign a house arrest completion form, which will then be forwarded to the L.A. County Sheriff's Department.
But Lindsay is not out of the woods. She's on probation for the jewelry heist and must complete her 480 hours of community service. She must also enroll in a "shoplifters alternative class" -- yes, we love that too -- and undergo psychological counseling.
But Lindsay will no longer have to endure the calamari that just doesn't travel well. She's free to eat at Gjelina again, where the calamari is always fresh and crisp.

Chuck Liddell Takes HUGE HIT In Custody Fight
Filed under: Chuck Liddell, TMZ Sports, Celebrity Justice
Chuck Liddell got smacked around by his baby mama in court today -- when an L.A. judge ordered the fighter to pay $6,000 per month in child support after Chuck no-showed to the hearing.
Liddell has been going toe-to-toe with his ex Lori Geyer for months -- in an effort to gain custody of their 12-year-old son.
But today in L.A. County Superior Court, the judge came down hard on Liddell -- because in addition to the child support, Liddell was also FINED $2,500 for failing to produce financial documentation requested by the court.
TMZ contacted Liddell's lawyer, who told us Chuck didn't show because "[Lori's] attorney failed to provide notice in an attempt to obtain favorable decision."
But Lori's attorney, Brian Kramer, tells us he has proof that Chuck received notice -- adding, "[Liddell's lawyer] had no valid excuse to boycott these proceedings."

Filed under: Bristol Palin, Levi Johnston, Break-ups
Bristol Palin insists Levi Johnston is no rapist -- but still stands by the statement she makes in her new book ... that her 21-year-old baby daddy "stole" her virginity when she was just 15.Bristol sat with "Good Morning America" today to discuss the book -- entitled "Not Afraid of Life: My Journey So Far" -- claiming she used the word "stolen" because "that's what it felt like."
But Bristol quickly adds -- "I'm not accusing Levi of date rape, or rape at all. But I am just looking back with the adult eyes I have now, and just thinking, that was a foolish decision."
As we previously reported, Bristol claims she lost her virginity to Levi at 15 -- while she was drunk on wine coolers.

'Jersey Shore' Cast -- Under QUARANTINE in Seaside
Filed under: Pauly D, Sammi Giancola, Deena Nicole Cortese, Jersey Shore, Snooki, Jwoww, The Situation, Ronnie Ortiz-Magro, Vinny Guadagnino, Deadline, TV
The "Jersey Shore" cast is on lockdown ... as they wait to start shooting Season 5 in NJ next week -- which means no phones, no Internet, no friends, no family, no nothing.
Sources connected with the show tell TMZ ... producers want to keep the cast "in the zone" after coming back from Italy. Translation: If they started circulating again in New Jersey with friends, family, and the media, they'd lose the chemistry that makes the show work, and it takes time to get it back.
So given that Season 5 starts shooting on Monday, we're told producers felt it was better to just keep them away from everyone.
But there are always exceptions to the rule. Sammi, Deena, and Pauly D had prior engagements they had booked that could not be canceled -- the girls had commercial shoots and Pauly had a DJ gig in Vegas.
So producers gave the trio a weekend pass to show up at their gigs and come back no later than Sunday night.
