People reports Lindsay Lohan may be released early from UCLA rehab. The actress, who checked into the facility after her 90-day jail sentence was cut short, will be present during a hearing in Beverly Hills Wednesday, when a judge will likely address her sentence. “There’s a possibility she could get out from inpatient treatment earlier than 90 days,” Jane Robison, the District Attorney, told People. “But where she might go depends on whatever the doctors recommend.”

Dustin Hoffman will star in 'Little Fockers' after all
Despite initially being written out of the upcoming comedy Little Fockers, Dustin Hoffman will indeed be reprising his role in the Meet the Fockers sequel, EW has confirmed. His scenes come courtesy of a series of pickup shots Universal is adding to the film, including some opposite onscreen wife Barbra Streisand. Hoffman reportedly will be receiving a salary equivalent to what he would have received had he been cast in the first place.
UPDATE: Hoffman will be in four scenes, some indeed with Streisand, a studio source confirms. These were shot during one week of additional photography, after Hoffman had seen the movie and wanted to be a part of it. The source also confirms that the reason for Hoffman’s initial unavailability was not salary-related.

George Michael pleads guilty to drug possession
George Michael pleaded guilty this morning in a London court to charges of driving under the influence of drugs and possession of cannabis, according to the AP. The judge in the case suspended Michael’s driver’s license for six months and said the singer could face prison time. The charges relate to an incident on July 4 when Michael crashed his Range Rover into a photo shop in London. The AP reports that tests showed he had taken gamma-hydroxybutyrate, a so-called “date-rape drug” because it leaves people groggy and powerless.
Michael just regained his driving privileges last year. They were suspended in 2007 for two years for driving while unfit due to drugs. He was accused of driving into three parked cars and driving off without first telling the cars’ owners.
