Lindsay Lohan Did Not Get Off

Don't let the four-hour jail stint fool you; the drama queen is still very much in trouble—and still very far away from being best known as an actor

A felony became a misdemeanor. Four months seemingly became four hours.

But did Lindsay Lohan really win? 

Here's what happened Friday:

Lohan was found to be in violation of her probation, she was sentenced to 120 days in jail, and she was ordered to stand trial.

That's one mighty expensive—and allegedly stolen—necklace, no?

But wait, there's more: Prosecutors vowed to fight the reduction of the theft charge.

So, no, Lohan didn't win. She got bailed out. 

And it's not just that she's still very much in hot water, it's that she's so very far away from being known as...

Um… What was that job Lohan used to have? The one that made her famous, as opposed to infamous?

Oh, yes, an actor.

She's so very far away from being known as one of those again—even in a week where she landed a real-live role. 

Until Lohan becomes anything but a cautionary tale, then it doesn't matter what becomes of her court matters. She'll never be home free 

Especially if she has to keep posting bail to get there.
