Lindsay Lohan I Worked My Ass Off At The Morgue
Lindsay Lohan didn't want to be a stiff during her first day at the morgue ...so she went in and washed soiled linens, scrubbed toilets and seemed to enjoy her time with the other volunteers ... sources tell TMZ.
We're told LiLo said she felt "terrible" about showing up late and being such a distraction on Thursday, so she went to bed early to avoid a repeat performance.
Lindsay, we're told, didn't act like a spoiled brat. Like so many of her friends, she got down on her hands and knees .... and cleaned floors. She even socialized with some of the other volunteers.
As for the whole burger and cupcake thing ... Lindsay told friends she wasn't trying to bribe anyone ... but the gesture was just another way to show the staff how sorry she was for being late the day before.

Lindsay Lohan Banished to the Morgue
Good News for Lindsay Lohan: The judge who could end up sending her to jail has decided she doesn't have to do any community service, at least for now.
Bad News for Lindsay Lohan: She'll be sweeping up blood and guts at the L.A. County Morgue.
Sources connected with the Probation Department tell TMZ ... Judge Stephanie Sautner contacted Probation officials and told them to immediately yank Lindsay from her current community service assignment with the Red Cross. We're told Judge Sautner ordered the Probation people to immediately assign Lindsay to morgue duty.
It's clearly a sign the judge is pissed off -- probably at the Probation Dept. for pulling a switcheroo by taking Lindsay out of the Downtown Women's Center, where the judge ordered Lindsay to perform 360 hours of community service. Judge Sautner also ordered Lindsay to do 120 hours at the morgue, and now that's taken top billing.
As for pissing off the judge, we've learned there's something in the Probation report that will probably do just that. Lindsay's probation officer wrote that Lindsay had problems with the Women's Center, because it was "not fulfilling." One more time -- Lindsay complained the Woman's Center was "NOT FULFILLING."
We broke the story the Probation Department believes Lindsay has NOT violated her probation, but prosecutors feel the opposite is true and they want her in the slammer.
Lindsay is ordered to court this morning at 10 AM PT. It promises to be a showdown -- and possibly an epic one.
Yes, we'll livestream from start to finish.

Lindsay Lohan Crash Shoplifting Course Before Court Showdown
Lindsay Lohan went to a shoplifter's course last night ... apparently trying to prove to a very skeptical judge that she shouldn't have her probation revoked.
The shoplifter's course is part of Lindsay's probation, although it's curious why she went, because people connected with Lindsay have told TMZ she completed the course.
Much more problematic for Lindsay ... her failure to comply with the judge's orders to complete her community service at the Downtown Women's Center. TMZ broke the story ... Lindsay was kicked out of the program after failing to show up 9 times, and leaving early when she did show up.
Lindsay is in court at 10 AM PT, and Judge Sautner could revoke her probation at that time.

MJ's 13-Year-old Daughter RECRUITED By Lingerie Football League
Michael Jackson's 13-year-old football playing daughter is being recruited to be the face of an organization that swears it's helping break down barriers for women ... problem is, it's the Lingerie Football League.
TMZ has learned .. the LFL took notice when Paris Jackson became the first female in her L.A. private school to join the flag football team earlier this month ... and fired off a letter to the MJ Estate in the hopes PJ would be the spokesperson for the league's "youth program."
In the letter, obtained by TMZ, LFL Commissioner Mitchell S. Mortaza acknowledges a "lack of options for competitive female football" ... and says the league will "be introducing youth clinics across the country to introduce the game of football to young ladies at an earlier stage in life."
Mortaza adds, "We ... would like to invite Paris to become the spokesperson for the LFL's youth program and perhaps start training for a future football career in the LFL when she reaches the age of 18."
Mitchell makes a good point about the lack of football options for girls, but is a league that parades adult women around in their underwear really the right fit for mentoring KIDS????

Lindsay Lohan Prosecutor She Violated Probation Send Her to JAIL!
The L.A. City Attorney's Office -- which prosecuted Lindsay Lohan in her shoplifting case -- will ask the judge tomorrow to violate Lindsay's probation and send her to jail ... sources tell TMZ.
Our City Attorney sources say the prosecutor will argue to Judge Stephanie Sautner that Lindsay's conduct that caused her to get booted from the Downtown Women's Center -- where she was doing community service -- is squarely a violation of her probation.
The City Attorney will ask the judge to violate her probation and then sentence her to jail, although our sources would not reveal how much jail time the prosecutor is seeking.
TMZ broke the story earlier today ... the Probation Department is siding with Lindsay, concluding she did NOT violate her probation

According to court docs, LAPD detectives are taking the threats "extremely seriously" because of Brodnicki's history of mental illness and making criminal threats.

Miley Cyrus Hacker Secrets Revealed
A man who claims to have hacked the emails and cell phones of numerous celebrities -- including those who were hacked by the Hackerazzi who now faces criminal charges -- has given TMZ a road map on how he did the dirty deed.
A man who has been contacting TMZ for nearly two years -- trying to peddle multiple celeb images, including nude pics of Scarlett Johansson -- has revealed how he hacked Miley Cyrus' Gmail account.
The man says he simply went to Miley's Gmail and tried accessing it. The prompt asked a security question ... the name of one of her girlfriends. He guessed the one she's known the longest, based on a Google search -- and he scored.
He says, "When I saw that, I couldn't believe it."
As for who the man is ... we've never met him, but it could be Christoper Chaney using a different email address.

So while they aren't boyfriend/girlfriend yet, our sources say "they are definitely dating."

Lindsay Lohan Could Get More Than a Year Behind Bars
Lindsay Lohan could be sentenced to nearly a year-and-a-half in jail if Judge Stephanie Sautner decides she violated her probation ... TMZ has learned.
We're told the computations are complicated, because Lindsay has had so many cases. But based on the 120 day suspended sentence for shoplifting, time served under house arrest, and her prior DUIs, Lindsay could be thrown in jail for a long, long time.
We've learned Lindsay MUST be in court Wednesday to face the judge ... and the judge has lots of questions, including why Lindsay was a no-show 9 times at the Downtown Women's Center, where she was performing her community service. And the judge will almost certainly want to know why Lindsay didn't comply with the order to spend a minimum of 4 hours at a time when she showed up at the Women's Center.
TMZ broke the story, Lindsay was booted from the Women's Center because of all the problems and reassigned to the American Red Cross.
And one more thing. The judge will almost certainly ask Lindsay why she didn't meet with her shrink every Monday for 1 hour, as required by court order. Lindsay claims she did a bunch of therapy sessions by phone.
We will be livestreaming Wednesday's hearing, which starts at 10:00 AM PT, so stay tuned.

Indictment in Nude Hacking Case 50 Victims Include Christina Aguilera, Scarlett Johansson, Mila Kunis
The FBI just released the grand jury indictment of a man who allegedly hacked into the email accounts of 50 victims, including dozens of celebrities.
The indictment was issued against 35-year-old Christopher Chaney of Jacksonville, Florida. He was arrested this morning by FBI agents, on charges of identity theft, wiretapping and other charges.
According to federal officials, Chaney would use public information to access email accounts of his alleged victims, and then access computers and cell phones under the control of his victims.
Some of the alleged victims include Christina Aguilera, Scarlett Johansson, Mila Kunis, and celebrity stylist Simone Harouche. Some of the ill-gotten materials included naked photos.
As TMZ first reported, law enforcement sources tell us Chaney allegedly acted alone, and got no money for his alleged misdeeds -- rather, he did it for the thrill.
Chaney faces 121 years in federal prison if convicted on all counts.

The FBI says the investigation was dubbed, "Operation Hackerazzi."
So far, the identity of the suspect has not been released.

Ex-WWE Star Arrested Allegedly Shooting Up in a Chili's Bathroom
A former WWE wrestler was arrested in Florida yesterday after cops say he was injecting himself with stolen pain medicine ... while hiding inside the bathroom of a local Chili's restaurant.
Tyson Tomko -- who wrestled in the WWE between 2002 and 2009 -- is accused of robbing a CVS Pharmacy on October 10th ... allegedly threatening to attack the pharmacist unless he forked over several bottles of Oxycodone.
The pharmacist claims he complied -- and Tomko escaped with 210 tablets of the powerful painkiller.
According to the police report, obtained by TMZ, Tomko went to a nearby Chili's ... where he asked his waitress for a spoon. When the server brought him a teaspoon, he asked for a "deeper spoon" ... and when he got it, he took it to the men's room ... where he remained for 30 to 40 minutes.
Cops were eventually tipped off ... and when they arrived on the scene, one officer says Tomko had "needle marks and blood running down his arm" ... and had just flushed something down the toilet.
Tomko was taken into custody -- and allegedly told police he has a "severe drug problem."
Cops say Tomko admitted he took the Oxycodone from CVS ... and injected 178 pills, which he crushed up and melted down ... but he swore he never threatened the pharmacist.
Tomko was taken to a nearby hospital ... then transported to a nearby jail, where he was booked for robbery. He's currently behind bars -- bond was set at $7,500.

Dodger Beating Victim Out of Hospital, Into Rehab
San Francisco Giants fan Bryan Stow has finally been released from the hospital -- more than 6 months after he was beaten within an inch of his life in the Dodgers Stadium parking lot.
Stow has been making tremendous progress in his recovery -- recently talking with family members and friends.
Doctors say Stow will continue his treatment at an undisclosed long-term rehabilitation facility. Stow's doctor says his recovery will take years.
The 42-year-old paramedic's family released a statement -- saying, "We feel immense relief today, knowing that Bryan is ready to start the next chapter of his story."
Stow suffered severe brain injuries on March 31 after the Dodger's regular season opener against the Giants.
Two suspects have been charged in the beating -- both have plead not guilty.
Michael Jackson's Autopsy Doc MJ Didn't Kill Himself
The doctor who declared Michael Jackson's death a homicide claims it's extremely unlikely the singer killed himself with a deadly dose of Propofol -- insisting Dr. Conrad Murray is more likely to blame.
Dr. Christopher Rogers just testified -- Murray's description of the final moments leading up to Michael's cardiac arrest just doesn't add up.
Murray claims he left for two minutes to go to the bathroom -- and when he returned, Michael wasn't breathing. The defense will argue MJ self-administered a deadly dose of Propofol in that time.
But Rogers insists ... Murray's scenario is nearly impossible -- because in that two minute window, MJ would have had to wake up (under the influence of several powerful sedatives) and skillfully administer the deadly dose ... which would then have had to travel to his brain, causing him to stop breathing.
What's more likely, according to Rogers -- Murray administered several doses of Propofol in the hours leading to Michael's death without properly measuring them out ... resulting in an overdose.
