Actress Lindsay Lohan agreed to refrain from drinking alcohol or taking drugs as part of the conditions of a bail agreement stemming from a DUI arrest in 2007. At a court hearing Monday morning, Judge Marsha Revel told Lohan that in order to remain free on bail, she would have to submit to random drug testing once a week, wear a SCRAM monitoring bracelet and complete all alcohol education classes at the rate of once a week.

Wearing a black suit and dark shades, Lohan arrived a few minutes late for the hearing Monday, despite missing the originally scheduled hearing Friday due to being stuck in Cannes. Revel said she would not hold Lohan’s tardiness against her, as she noted that the actress’ camp had trouble entering the courtroom for undisclosed reasons.
But Revel stood her ground on the conditions of the bail agreement, rejecting requests from Lohan’s attorney, Shawn Chapman Holley, to attend alcohol ed classes at an accelerated rate of once a day, as well as her request to forego the SCRAM bracelet in favor of additional drug testing. Chapman Holley argued that the SCRAM bracelet would interfere with Lohan’s work, including several photoshoots and a new film in Texas.
Revel said Lohan would not be able to continue to film in Texas during the next few weeks, as her drug tests would have to take place in the Los Angeles area.
After some deliberation, Lohan and Chapman Holley agreed to the conditions set forth as part of the bail agreement. Should Lohan fail to meet any of the conditions, Revel said she could be jailed for 180 days.
Meanwhile, Lohan took time to defend herself this weekend, giving an emotional interview with Hollywood TV. According to the actress, she did everything in her power to return home from Cannes Film Festival in time for her DUI probation hearing -- and blasted speculation she stayed abroad to party.
In Cannes to promote new movie "Inferno," Lohan claimed her passport was stolen from her hotel room "among some items of jewelry and other items that were in my possession."
"I was stuck in Cannes. I had my passport stolen so I had no option but to stay there," Lohan said.
"I was trying to find any way to come back because I knew I'd have to deal with any repercussions and I was very scared."
Lohan also suggested that a photo rumored to show her sitting next to lines of cocaine was a set-up and that she simply believed she was posing “with a fan.”
Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Marsha Revel -- reportedly not happy because Lohan skipped alcohol education classes some weeks and made them up later -- issued a warrant for her arrest Thursday, after the “Mean Girls” star failed to attend a mandatory court hearing at 8:30 a.m. PDT.
The warrant was withdrawn after Lohan's representatives paid $10,000, the standard 10 percent of the $100,000 bail set. The hearing was rescheduled for Monday.
The 23-year-old slammed suggestions she could be jailed over violation of her three-year probation, saying: "I've been more than in compliance with everything to do with the court system.
"I've been up to par and would be done in two weeks and four days. I missed one (alcohol education) class because my uncle passed away and I stayed in New York to be with my family.
"I didn't even go to the funeral because I came back and did another class," she said. "I don't see why I'd have to go to prison."
