Lindsay Lohan has posted $100,000 bail, her spokesman told TheWrap Wednesday.

The actress had been ordered held for violating the terms of her probation. She must return to court for another hearing Nov. 2.

Earlier:

Lindsay Lohan's probation was revoked Wednesday morning, and the actress was taken from a Los Angeles courtroom in handcuffs.

She is posting $100,000 bail -- a bail bondsman was in the courtroom -- and is expected to be released with an order to return for another hearing on Nov. 2.

An angry Judge Stephanie Sautner criticized Lohan for completing only 21 of the 360 community-service hours she was ordered to perform at the Downtown Women's Center -- and none of her 120 hours she was sentenced to complete at the Los Angeles County Morgue.

And she noted that Lohan missed nine appointments to work at the women's center -- so many that the center kicked her out of the program.

When the judge set Lohan's bail, she told the "Mean Girls" star to complete at least 16 hours of community service at the morgue before the Nov. 2 hearing.

Sautner said she'd like to send Lohan to jail, but because of overcrowding, she doubts that the actress would serve any serious time.

"If jail meant something in the state of California now, maybe I'd put her in jail," she said. "But come on. Is anybody doing any time on the jail sentences?"

Lohan's spokesman told TheWrap Wednesday that "Lindsay is hoping this matter will be resolved on November 2 and the Court will reinstate probation and allow her to continue fulfilling her community service."

During the hearing, Lohan's lawyer, argued that revoking the actress' probation would be premature because she still has six months to complete her community service. But the judge was unmoved by Shawn Chapan Holley's argument.

The judge picked up a report from the Probation Department and read it aloud.

"Miss Lohan indicates that at the Women's Center she wasn't interacting with anyone, so the service was not fulfilling," the judge read.

Sautner peered at Lohan and Chapman.

"Is that what a sentence is about?" she asked. "Is it supposed to fulfill the defendant? Or is it supposed to be rehabilitative?"

Holley answered, "She didn't say, 'I stopped going because I didn't find it fulfilling.'"

Sautner was unimpressed.

Several times during Wednesday's hearing, Sautner said that probation "is a gift."

She noted that so far during Lohan's probation, the actress has visited New York, Paris, Rome and Milan.

Holley said that travel was for work.

"You haven't seen her doing a lot of acting work lately," Holley said.
