Way to go, LiLo!

In an unexpected twist, troubled starlet Lindsay Lohan pleased the court Wednesday, with Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Stephanie Sautner complimenting next month's Playboy cover model during a monthly progress hearing on her community service.

"Miss Lohan, you have actually done your work," said Sautner, noting that the 25-year-old completed this month's 12 days of service at a California morgue early. The judge also credited Lohan for attending an additional counseling session above the four required.

In October, Sautner sentenced Lohan to 30 days in jail for probation violation, but the actress served fewer than five hours. Lohan pleaded guilty in 2007 to DUI and related charges.

Lohan must complete 53 days of community service and attend 18 therapy sessions by March or she could go to the slammer for 270 days.
