Michelle Rodriguez out of jail after 18 days
Michelle Rodriguez has got to be the luckiest jailbird ever. The repeat drunk driving with a side of anger actress has managed to get let out of jail AGAIN after serving a mere ten percent of her sentence. Michelle was doing time at Lynwood women’s jail, where she’d been sentenced to 180 for violating her probation. Lynwood is notoriously crowded, and although the judge made it absolutely clear that he was requiring Rodriguez to serve each and every day, the sheriff still let her out early. Rodriguez had violated her probation by drinking three times and failing to complete her community service, then forging documents to make it look like she had.

Michelle Rodriguez has been released from jail early after just 17 days, according to the L.A. County Sheriff’s Web site. The actress, best known for her role on Lost, was sentenced to 180 days for violating probation stemming from her DUI arrest. She checked into the Lynwood, California, jail days before Christmas, on Dec. 23.

Rodriguez, 29, admitted to violating her probation by failing to provide proof of completion of community service and for drinking three times while wearing an alcohol-monitoring anklet.

“She’s nice, personable, down to earth … nothing like Paris Hilton!” a correctional officer told Us a few days into her stint. “She asked to work,” the source said of the star who helped in the kitchen. “She said she wanted a job and didn’t want to be isolated like other celebs.”

That’s the first positive thing I’ve heard about Michelle Rodriguez in a long, long time. Though to be fair, comparing anyone to Paris Hilton will generally make the other person look good. You know how they say you should always keep an ugly friend around you, so that you look better by comparison? Same thing with Paris Hilton. You should always keep her around you, so that you look like less of a douche bag. Although with that weird eye and slight Picasso quality, Paris could work as the ugly friend too. Not that Michelle Rodriguez is unattractive, but she might want to seriously consider keeping Paris around. Though Rodriguez continually bitched and moaned about how unfair it was that she was being punished for breaking the law, she’s still not as annoying as Paris. She knows more than seven words, so that tells you something.

I’d love to say that hopefully Michelle will stay on the straight and narrow from now on, but she’s got a pretty sour attitude, so I doubt that’ll happen. I’m sure in a few months she’ll be serving another two week vacation in jail for something or other. Maybe for clocking Paris Hilton. Though that would be an offense I would excuse.
