No, you guys. Estella Warren didn't try to escape from the courtroom also.

The actress—who was previously convicted of drunken driving in 2007—faced the judge today and entered a no contest plea on her May 2011 DUI incident when she allegedly smashing into three cars in Los Angeles.

So what'd the blue-eyed beauty get?

The Planet of the Apes star got served with four months in a residential rehab facility.

But that's not it.

According to Los Angeles city attorney's spokesman Frank Mateljan, the 32-year-old was also sentenced to serve five years of informal probation. Three other escape-related misdemeanor charges—one count each of hit-and-run, battery on a peace officer and resisting arrest—were dismissed.

"I take my actions and their consequences very seriously. I can't express enough how grateful I am that no one was injured or hurt. Moving forward I am focusing all my efforts on my career, my family and being a good influence to others," Warren tells E! News.

Warren is due back in court on Oct. 7 to determine if she must pay any restitution.
