I really have absolutely no respect for Michelle Rodriguez. It seems like she’s just an extremely self-centered individual the likes of which you don’t often see – even in Hollywood. Rodriguez has been sentenced to six months is jail for not completing her community service – and forging documents to make it look like she did. How much did she forget to do? One day. So instead of just showing up and doing something useful for someone else (not to mention paying her debt to society) Rodriguez forged the documents – and was caught. Now she’ll have a good long while to think about her selfishness – and I’m guessing eventually bitch and moan on her blog about how she didn’t deserve it and it’s all everyone else’s fault. That was her reaction after having to wear an ankle alcohol monitoring bracelet due to her DUIs. Poor dear, if only the legal system would ease up and change its strict, archaic laws and let people get hammered and swerve along winding highways. And don’t fear that Michelle will be let out after a few hours due to prison overcrowding like last time – the judge has specifically prohibited it.
“Michelle Rodriguez was sentenced Wednesday to six months in jail for violating probation in a DUI case. ‘(She) admitted violating her probation by failing to provide proof of completion of her community service and for consuming alcohol three times while wearing an alcohol-monitoring device,’ said the L.A. City Attorney’s office in a statement. The Lost star must report to a Los Angeles County jail by Dec. 24. Superior Court Judge Daviann L. Mitchell also ruled that the actress is not to be granted an early release, despite L.A.’s jail overcrowding. She was also ordered to complete 30 days of road clean-up duty.
“The City Attorney’s office had alleged that Rodriguez turned in a false document showing that she completed one day of service on Sept. 25, court filings show. The actress later stated that she was in New York on that date. Her attorney, Shawn Chapman Holley, did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Last month, her previous attorney, Richard Beada, said: ‘We believe this is all due to a clerical error. My client did complete the full 30 days.’ Rodriguez, 29, had been serving an extended probation term for numerous driving infractions.
“In May 2006, she served only four hours and 20 minutes of a two-month sentence at the Lynwood, Calif., jail for violating probation, stemming from a DUI arrest in Hawaii in December 2005. She served, however, just over two days in a Honolulu jail in that case. In June 2004, Rodriguez had been placed on three years’ probation after pleading no contest to DUI and driving with a suspended license from two separate incidents in the Hollywood area in 2003.”

Well at least she’s serving a lot of time and going to be forced to do some more community service. Normally I’d be annoyed if a person had to do was community service, but that seems to be what Michelle hates the most. I mean she actually chose jail over it one point. So I hope she’s forced to spend a lot of time helping other people – I can think of few things that would make her angrier. And we all know she has a bit of a fondness for the ladies in prison. I think it’s something about all the denim they wear.
I can’t believe she was stupid enough to drink while wearing an alcohol monitoring device. She’d claimed in several of her blogs and interviews that the thing would go off if there were any alcohol in her mouthwash or shampoo – it was that sensitive. She was probably planning on blaming her drinks on the bracelet. Or I could be full of it, I just want to believe the worst about her at this point. I hope they stick her in a daycare for community service. I can think of few things that would make her pissier than a bunch of happy toddlers. Not fair to the kids, but fun for me.
Picture note by Celebitchy: Michelle Rodriguez is shown on 9/29/07 outside of court after she was told she would have to complete just 16 hours of community service to serve her debt to society. That’s just two freaking days and she couldn’t manage it! Thanks to Splash News for these pics.
