Star wants to put her legal problems behind her to return to making movies

A while ago, Lindsay Lohan was saying she was sick of always being made a negative example and that she wanted to let her work do the talking for her. She's itching to get back on the movie set, her rep says.

Tomorrow, Lindsay is due in court to answer before a judge after violating her parole stemming from an older arrest.

She's tired of the legal troubles she's been dealing with for months, her rep says for Radar Online, especially since they're keeping her from what's important: her acting career.

It's because of this that Lindsay got her community work at the morgue done as mandated by the judge: she wants to show the world she's changed and the move on.

“Lindsay recognizes it's time to have closure on this. Lindsay has several projects we will be announcing in the coming months, and she is looking forward to being back on set,” Lohan's publicist Steve Honig says for Radar.

“Lindsay has been doing eight hour shifts just like everybody else, and she is working diligently in fulfilling her obligations. Lindsay is being accountable and is taking this very, very seriously,” Honig adds.

If the judge rules that Lindsay was in violation of parole when she showed up at a local women's center, spent an hour or so about and the took off never to return, she could get up to 18 months in jail.

However, Honig is positive that won't happen because Lindsay has already proved she's good for her word, showing up for community work on time this last round.

Last we heard about Lohan's acting career, she was attached to star in the controversial and much-delayed John Gotti biopic, which also stars John Travolta.

Before that, Lohan was attached to another biopic, “Inferno,” but was dropped from it when it became clear that her legal issues would delay production for much longer than producers anticipated at first.
