Judge to Lindsay: You Can't Handle the absence!

It's hard to imagine wanting an extra year of probation, but when you're Lindsay Lohan -- and facing possible jail time -- it's actually a good thing.

A judge today decided to extend Lindsay's probation another year so she can finish her alcohol education classes. Her lawyer, the effervescent Shawn Chapman Holley, told the judge Lindsay has been extremely busy and has only been able to complete about half her classes.

Specifically, Lindsay has completed 15 of 26 individual alcohol classes and 13 of 26 group alcohol classes and 13 of 28 self-help sessions. She completed all six education classes.

Lindsay LohanLindsay's lawyer says her client is doing a movie in Texas.

The prosecutor said if the court has to jump through hoops again to accommodate Lindsay, jail is the only answer.

All sides will be back in court for another progress hearing on December 15.

Swine Flu alert gets Down Bones

Booth and Bones are taking a break, and the pigs are to blame.

But don't get too upset, Bones fans. The show's production has been shut down today due to a swine flu scare.

"First time in Bones history we are shut down from production," show creator Hart Hanson wrote on Twitter. "Damn swine flu! That's gonna cut into Christmas hiatus."

But David Boreanaz fans can relax—the hunk may be sick, but it ain't H1N1.

"Oops! There is no indication that Boreanaz has swine flu," he added nearly an hour later. "We expect him back tomorrow. I'm now going out to get swine flu myself in atonement."

A Fox rep tells E! News, "Production on Bones was shut down today, but we expect to be up and running tomorrow."
