It may not be such a "Good Friday" for Lindsay afterall!
A source close to the 24-year-old starlet tells X17online that Linds will be appearing before Judge Stephanie Sautner tomorrow for the felony grand theft preliminary hearing.
Lilo had reportedly asked the judge to postpone the hearing because she was "planning on going to church" on the Christian holy day. Guess the judge wasn't feelin' it.
The preliminary hearing will determine whether Lindsay's case will go to trial. If Lohan is convicted of stealing a $2,500 necklace Kamofie & Company, she could spend up to three years in prison.
As for tomorrow's hearing, Judge Sautner has banned cameras from the courtroom.
Aside from her court-related drama, Lindsay recently landed two movie roles. Find out which ones ... after the jump.

In news of the weird joining the weirder, Joaquin Phoenix is in talks to star in a film about the rise of a religion that closely resembles Scientology, Variety reports.
Much like Scientology, Phoenix is no stranger to controversy. He announced in 2008 that he was “retiring†from acting. That statement has been questioned because Phoenix’s supposed rap career was actually being filmed for Casey Affleck’s faux-documentary I’m Still Here. Phoenix hasn’t had a major U.S. theatrical release since Reservation Road in 2007.

Jennifer Lopez is enjoying quite the career comeback as of late thanks to a certain reality show - maybe you've heard of it - American Idol. Entertainment Weekly is reporting that the pop diva has paired with Idol producer Simon Fuller to start her own reality competition show.
The series would follow Lopez and husband Marc Anthony as they tour Latin America in search of undiscovered musical talent. J. Lo's not wasting time; the show already has a title: Que Viva.
But would a new show mean her exit from Idol? Lopez is only signed on to judge Idol through the end of this season. The show has held up ratings-wise, so it seems safe to assume that Fox would want her back. Fellow judge Randy Jackson has proved simultaneous reality shows can work; he has both Idol and America's Best Dance Crew.
J.Lo is feeling the love from more than just audiences. See who gave her a smooch last night after the jump - and it's not her husband!
