Lindsay Lohan is about to see dead people.

The 21-year-old actress soon will be working at a morgue as part of her punishment for misdemeanor drunken driving, her attorney, Blair Berk, told a judge Thursday.

She also has spent two months in rehabilitation and has done some community service, Berk said at a hearing on her progress toward fulfilling the terms of her plea bargain.

Her two four-hour days at the morgue are part of a court-ordered program to show drivers the real-life consequences of drinking and driving. She must also spend two days working in a hospital emergency room.

Lohan was arrested twice last year on DUI charges and pleaded guilty in August to misdemeanor drunken driving and cocaine charges. She has served 84 minutes in jail as part of the plea deal.

Lohan was not required to appear at Thursday's hearing.

Winehouse's Husband Appears In Court

Amy Winehouse's husband appeared in court Friday in London to face charges of assault and conspiracy, and the troubled singer blew him kisses and whispered, "I love you," as he was led away.

Blake Fielder-Civil is accused of attacking a pub landlord and then later conspiring with him to withdraw as a witness at the trial.

Fielder-Civil, 25, has pleaded innocent to the charge of assault, and is expected to plead Feb. 29 to a charge of perverting the course of justice. The landlord, James King, denied the conspiracy charge Friday.

The 24-year-old British singer-songwriter - her newly platinum-blond hair looking bedraggled - came to her husband's support at the hearing, blowing kisses before yelling out: "I love you handsome, gorgeous one."

Singer Lily Allen Has Miscarriage

Lily Allen, who announced her pregnancy last month, has had a miscarriage.

"She and her partner, Ed Simons, will be making no further comment and we ask that their privacy be respected during this difficult time," Allen's spokesman, Jon Bills, said Friday in a statement.

Simons, 37, is a member of The Chemical Brothers.

Allen's cheeky debut album, "Alright, Still," which includes the hit single "Smile," was released in the United States last year. The 22-year-old British pop singer's follow-up CD is expected to be released this year.

Collins Released After 4-Day Sentence

Gary Collins was released from jail Friday after completing his four-day drunken driving sentence.

The 69-year-old TV personality and actor left the jail just after 6 a.m., Glendale, Calif., police Officer John Balian said.

Balian said Collins was a good prisoner and "there were no problems" during his stay.

Collins pleaded no contest Dec. 6 to one misdemeanor count each of driving under the influence and driving with a blood-alcohol content of .08 percent or more. He was cited after a traffic crash in Sherman Oaks.
