Wednesday Night Open Thread

By Jeralyn

Lindsay Lohan has court tomorrow. According to TMZ, Lindsay's lawyer and the DA met with the judge today and no deal was reached. If you haven't been following along, Lindsay has been charged with stealing a necklace from a Beverly Hills store, and violating her seemingly never-ending probation.

At tomorrow's hearing the judge will set a preliminary hearing on the necklace charge. If bound over for trial, TMZ and others report Lindsay's probation may be revoked immediately, causing her to remain in jail pending trial.

On TV tonight: American Idol, Survivor, America's Next Top Model and Justified. The one not to miss: Justified. It's even better this year than last, ratings are up and even the critics are loving it. There's also a new character:

Added to the mix was Mags Bennett (veteran character actress Margo Martindale, getting a fine showcase here), a backwoods big-time pot grower now looking to take over Bo’s market for meth dealing. Mags is as ruthless as her son Dickie (Jeremy Davies – Lost’s Daniel Faraday) is gimpy. Mags has two more sons who are dumber but no less mean than their mama.

This is an open thread, all topics welcome.
