You are not likely to see many pictures of Lindsay Lohan over the next month, as the troubled actress turned herself in to authorities early Thursday morning (May 26) to begin her 35-day sentence of home confinement in connection with her deal in a recent theft case.
According to People magazine, Lohan, 24, turned herself in to authorities at Los Angeles' Lynwood Jail shortly after 5 a.m. PT, at which point she was fitted with an electronic ankle bracelet that she will wear while serving her term at her Venice, California, townhouse.
"She is now confined to the interior premises of her home at all times," the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department said. Lohan had originally been sentenced to four months in jail after pleading no contest May 11 to stealing a $2,500 necklace from a Venice jewelry store, but because of chronic jail overcrowding in Los Angeles and because she's a nonviolent offender, she was eligible for house arrest.
Lohan was originally charged with felony grand theft due to the listed price of the necklace, but the judge reduced the charges to a misdemeanor in April.
The magazine reported that her sentence could be reduced down to just over two weeks in all, thanks to time off for good behavior and budgetary constraints. The judge in the case also sentenced Lohan to perform 480 hours of community service, but she will not be allowed to perform that work while under house arrest.
In addition to the community service — which will mostly be at a homeless shelter for women, with the remainder at the Los Angeles County morgue — Lohan was ordered to undergo psychological counseling and participate in a shoplifters alternative course.

Justin Bieber promised that his forthcoming Christmas album will be chock-full of original tunes, but what may be even more exciting for his fans of all ages is the list of collaborators he's lining up for the project. Via Twitter, Bieber and his team have indicated that Sean Kingston and Taylor Swift have recorded songs with him, and on Tuesday, he tweeted that Boyz II Men are joining the mix.
"2day i woke up and realized that the group that made me want to sing @BoyzIIMen are now on the christmas album singing with me. #DREAMBIG," Bieber wrote. "i used 2 listen to their music and practice the runs. that is how i learned how to sing. now im in the studio with them making music 2gether.
"im telling you...never say never...never stop dreaming....never give up," he continued. "#DREAMBIG. @BoyzIIMen Im honored and blessed. thank u."
The love didn't end there. Members of the group also took to Twitter to give the 17-year-old some props for extending an invitation to them to work with him on their album. "it was a pleasure! Remember what we talked about in the studio Lil bro! Let's do it again sooner than later!! ... We got love for u lil bro!! Thank YOU, and Thanx for everything u do for ur fans!! I KNOW they appreciate it."
It's not the first time Bieber and the Boyz have worked together. The iconic '90s R&B group appeared in his 3-D flick, "Never Say Never," earlier this year. When the film was released back in March, the singer cited the group as one of his favorite musical influences. "My fans inspire me, as well as my mom inspires me and my dad and God inspires me," he said. "I've looked up to a lot of musicians, like Michael Jackson and Boyz II Men. ... I met Boyz II Men. I didn't get to meet Michael Jackson."
No official date for the Christmas album has been announced yet, but Bieber did tweet this hint: "thinking about starting christmas early...like november. #newmusic."
