The drunken Lost star Michelle Rodriguez has pleaded guilty to drinking and driving. When a judge gave her the option of doing community service or going to jail, she picked being locked up. The reason for this, says her lawyer Steve Barta was:

I would suspect that because she has a hard time even going out for a meal without being intruded upon for an autograph or photograph, it’s really difficult for her to do community service.

In reality, Rodriguez will only have to serve three days in jail, with the judge giving her credit for one day served when she was detained after the initial arrest. The judge had also given her the minimum fine for a repeat offender, as opposed to the maximum fine of $1,500 and 14 days in jail the prosecutors were going after.
