Judge Stephanie Sautner praised Lindsay Lohan in court Tuesday morning for completing all of her community service on time.
Judge Sautner, who told the courtroom that Lilo's probation officer had written a positive report, said to the 25-year-old actress, "Keep doing what you're doing. You appear to be doing very well."
Linds is scheduled to head back to court on February 22. At that time, she will be required to finish at least fifteen more days of community service at the LA County Morgue. She'll also need to complete five more therapy sessions.
If all goes well, her probation is scheduled to end on March 29.

Taylor Swift graces the cover of
Vogue's February issue, and the starlet chats about fame, boys and how she was never really the cool kid.
On her early years, Taylor jokes, "So ... middle school? Awkward. Having a hobby that’s different from everyone else’s? Awkward. Singing the national anthem on weekends instead of going to sleepovers? More awkward. Braces? Awkward. Gain a lot of weight before you hit the growth spurt? Awkward. Frizzy hair, don’t embrace the curls yet? Awkward. Try to straighten it? Awkward! So many phases!â€
She continues, “I think who you are in school really sticks with you. I don’t ever feel like the cool kid at the party, ever. It’s like, Smile and be nice to everybody, because you were not invited to be here.†Taylor is incredibly humble, and she admits that she has fears, just like the rest of us. “This is what I’ve wanted to do my whole life,†she tells the mag. “It never freaks me out. Never. Ever. But you know what does freak me out? When is the other shoe going to drop? I am so happy right now. So I am always living in fear. This can’t be real, right? This can’t really be my life.â€
So what about boys? “
I think I am smart unless I am really, really in love, and then I am ridiculously stupid,†she says. She's written songs about many of the Hollywood hunks she's dated (including Joe Jonas, Taylor Lautner, John Mayer and Jake Gyllenhaal), but when asked about her current relationship status, she says, “I got nothing going on! I just don’t really feel like dating. I really have this great life right now, and I’m not sad and I’m not crying this Christmas, so I am really stoked about that.†When asked if she was crying last Christmas (following her split from Gyllenhaal), she said, “I am not gonna go into it! It’s a sad story!â€
Will Taylor write about her last breakup on her next album? It certainly seems like it! "There's just been this earth-shattering, not recent, but absolute crash-and-burn heartbreak," she says. "And that will turn out to be what the next album is about."
So what are Taylor's red flags when it comes to dating? Click thru to find out!

Michelle Williams has come a long way from her
Dawson's Creek days, and she's proving it in the pages of February's
GQ magazine.
The
My Week With Marilyn starlet, who just took home the Golden Globes for her role as Marilyn Monroe, tells them mag:
"I wouldn't say that that would be one of my first qualities as a human being -- being sexy. And I think because my character on Dawson's Creek was sexy...sexualized...sexual...I saw all the negative attention and connotations that can come along with that. And that those things can keep people from seeing you clearly. When you play sexy you're kind of playing just for men. That is something you have to police and turn it on its head."
Williams also opens up about life after Heath Ledger ... who passed away in January 2008. She adds, "I really wanted, and I really expected or imagined, that Matilda would have siblings that were close to her age. I wanted that for her. But I couldn't make that happen."

Taylor Armstrong's problems continue to unravel on this season of
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, and now the reality star's friends are trying to get her into rehab, according to
RadarOnline.
Just last week, a very emotional Taylor was seeing getting help from a girlfriend while making her way to the car after dinner at Craig's Restaurant in West Hollywood.
In our video, she can be seen clearly stumbing and was having a hard time holding herself up.
A source close to Armstrong tells
Radar:
"Taylor's closest friend and advisers have told her that she needs to go to rehab. Taylor admits that alcohol has become her crutch in dealing with Russell's suicide, and coping with the drama of being on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills."
Taylor's husband, Russell, was found dead at 47 on August 15 after an apparent suicide. The source goes on to say:
"Taylor recognizes that alcohol is playing a much larger role in her life than she would like, but she is refusing to go to rehab, primarily because of Kennedy. Kennedy has already endured the loss of her father, and Taylor just doesn't want to spend any time away from her, period."
Her daughter Kennedy, whom she had with Russell, is five years old.
Check out Taylor's unsteady exit from Craig's restaurant in our exclusive video below.

Lady Gaga may be an international superstar, but that doesn't mean she can't rough it at her boyfriend's tiny beach house once in awhile!
The Lady was spotted looking comfy in a black oversized tee, dark shades, and her blond hair tucked in a bun, while watching
Vampire Diaries star Taylor Kinney do the laundry and pick up some groceries around his California pad, on MLK Day.
An X17 photographer on the scene tells us:
"Gaga and her boyfriend seemed happy -- they were just living simply. It's like she's this rich, successful mega-star and all she really wants is a simple life."
The "Bad Romance" singer usually stays mum on her personal life, but she gushed about Kinney back in September, "You know I don’t talk about my love life, but I’m very happy."
Gaga was seen house hunting in her beau's hometown in Pennsylvania, and is reportedly interested in a $1.7 million dollar property that caught her eye. Pack your bags, Taylor!

Are they or aren't they?
While the couple has yet to officially confirm their engagement, Halle Berry continues to sport a gorgeous diamond-and-emerald rock on her engagement ring finger, which was reportedly custom-made by jewelry designer, Gurhan.

Berry's 3-year-old daughter reportedly gets along wonderfully with the French actor, which is why she's considering a third walk down the aisle this October.

American Idol's sexiest judge stopped by
The Ellen DeGeneres Show on Tuesday to chat with the talk show host about his recent engagement, how his bandmates found out he was joining
American Idol, and reaching the two-year mark on his sobriety!
The Aerosmith singer tells DeGeneres on meeting now-fiancee, Erin Brady:
"The first time I saw her, she worked for Clear Channel, so she was
paying the band. And I didn't notice her, and one night she had on this hair
band on around her head. She looked really old fashion, so I took her back in
the room and she tied me up with it and I thought I'm marrying this girl. Exactly that way (laughing)."
The 63-year-old also revealed that he never actually
told his bandmates he was joining
American Idol as a judge, they simply found out for themselves. "A band is like, it's not women. It's men," Tyler said. "It's a different world. We keep a lot to ourselves. Don't often tell the truth. I fell off the stage doing a ZZ Top (song). We didn't speak to each other for the longest time. "
Steven then added that going away to Betty Ford to "fix the shoes that helped me slip," also helped him get two years sober.
"I can't get back into that world. I can stay high on stage and stay high. I mean out here with you right now my hearts pounding. Hearing you guys (the audience) roar. This what I live for today. But you never know if it's going to stick. I just keep with my program, wish and hope. I don't want to go back to that place. That place lost me, my kids, a marriage, a band. A lot of things and it's for real. That's how dangerous that is. So I take it serious."
Tyler admits he's been to rehab a total of five or six times, so sticking with a sobriety program for two straight years is a huge step for the rock star!
