Michelle Rodriguez spending jail time with general population

Michelle Rodriguez is serving her time in California's Lynwood jail just like other inmates.

Unlike some of the other A-listers who got a preferential treatment, the former Lost star is spending her nights on a bunk bed in a common area where 183 other general prisoners sleep.

"Michelle is one tough cookie and can handle general population just fine,” the New York Post quoted a source, as saying.

“She is participating in the inmate worker program, serving food and doing other jobs as assigned.

“Michelle has been extremely cooperative and professional and doesn't want to use her celebrity status to get special privileges," the source added.

Rodriguez was sentenced to 180-days in jail after violating her probation on drink driving and hit-and-run offences.

Michelle Rodriguez may land up in jail for probation violation

Actress Michelle Rodriguez might end up spending time behind bars after she failed to fulfill the terms of her probation in a DUI case.

Los Angeles City Attorney's office has announced that Rodriguez has not revealed the proof of completion of her 30 days of community service; therefore she might land up in jail.

"She hasn't shown proof of completion of her 30 days of community service. She could face jail time, but it's up to the judge," the People quoted City Attorney spokesman Frank Mateljan, as saying.

The City Attorney's office alleges that the actress submitted a false document showing that she completed one day of service on Sept. 25, as per the court filings.

However, the 29-year-old actress later stated that she was in New York on that date.

On Sept 28, 2007, Rodriguez arrived at the court along with her attorney, Richard Beada for a hearing in the matter.

Beada successfully asked the judge to postpone Friday's hearing to Oct. 12. But first, the actress received a scolding by Superior Court Judge Daviann L. Mitchell, who ordered the actress to complete two days of road cleanup duty for the California Department of Transportation.

"I'm not impressed with your completion schedule. I don't care if you have to camp there, complete (it) without exception," Judge Mitchell said.

But outside the court, Beada dismissed judge's argument saying that the actress has completed her 30 days of community service.

"We believe this is all due to a clerical error. My client did complete the full 30 days," Beada said.

Rodriguez upset with appearance on lesbian magazine cover

'Lost' star Michelle Rodriguez is upset that lesbian magazine, Curve, used her face on their cover without her consent.

Rodriguez said that rumors of her homosexuality might have made the publication use her image.
“As far as rumors go of me coming out, I guess Curve magazine took it upon themselves to out me on the premise of their own suspicions,” People Magazine quoted her, as saying
Speaking about the episode on her website, the actress insisted that she isn’t feeling insulted, and that she is not going to shun the lesbian following she has got.
"Whatever, I'm not insulted, I have a big lesbian following, and for whatever reasons they show me love. I'm never going to shun, disrespect or neglect anybody who shows me genuine non-psychotic love,” she said.
However, she added that categorizing someone in the film business definitely affects the person
"I will say this: To put words in someone's mouth and place people in categories affects them for sure, especially in this business," she added.
Rodriguez also said that she doesn’t understand why Curve decided to use her face on the cover without her consent
"I don't know what the intent behind the Curve magazine cover was. I wasn't informed of it, I had no idea they were planning on using my image to sell magazines." she wrote.
The actress added that her sexuality is nobody’s business, and that if she had to prove anything to people, she would have released a sex video long ago.
“If I wanted people to know what I do with my vagina I would have released a sex video a long time ago. Yet I haven't done that,” she said.
