BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. — Lindsay Lohan returned to jail in handcuffs Friday after a judge refused to set bail and ordered her to remain in custody for failing a drug test until another hearing nearly a month away.

Bailiffs escorted the troubled starlet from the Beverly Hills courtroom immediately after the hearing that lasted less than 10 minutes. She arrived at the Century Regional Detention Center in Lynwood a short time later, with sheets held up around her to shield her from sight.

Nicole Richie’s come a long way from being The Simple Life star who got popped for a DUI in 2006, then claimed the Vicodin she’d taken before driving the wrong way on a California freeway was for menstrual cramps. (No word on the medicinal purpose of the pot she’d also smoked.)

These days she’s owning up to her past mistakes, and sounding a hell of a lot more grown up than her previous party-girl friends.

She’s bucking the system, because admitting when you effed up definitely isn’t the Hollywood way. Check out these top five celebrity drug-bust excuses from the past and present:

Is it just me, or do you respect a celebrity about a thousand times more when they just admit they broke the law?

Lindsay Lohan will appear in court Friday morning for a hearing to determine if she violated her probation, and she may go back to jail that same day.

Lohan’s probation will be officially revoked on Friday, Radaronline.com reports. A probation violation hearing will be scheduled and Lohan may have to wait in jail until it happens.

“Lindsay could be remanded directly into custody on Friday, pending the probation violation hearing, and it’s very likely that Judge Fox will do that,” a source told Radar. “Lindsay was allowed to remain out on bail last time until her probation violation hearing, but Judge Fox probably won’t give her that privilege because of her failed drug test, and this is her second probation violation hearing in less than three months.”

Lohan could get 30 days for each failed test, which would make a 60-day sentence, TMZ reports. Still, it’s unlikely she would serve more than a fraction of the sentence. Lohan failed tests for both cocaine and amphetamines. She confirmed the test results on her Twitter page over the weekend.
