UPDATED Tuesday 3:30 p.m
Lindsay Lohan is headed to the pokey.
A Los Angeles superior court judge on Tuesday ruled that the "mean girls" actress violated the terms of her probation stemming from a 2007 arrest for driving under the influence, and will serve 90 days -- followed by another 90-day in-patient treatment program.
The reason: Lohan consistently blew off her court-ordered alcohol education classes, and will make up for it by serving three consecutive 30-day sentences.
Lohan openly sobbed as she learned her fate: 30 days for her May 26, 2007 DUI; 30 days for her July 24, 2007 DUI; and 30 days for the car chase across Los Angeles that accompanied the July 24, 2007 DUI incident in which cocaine was also found to be in her possession.
How much of that time she will actually serve in jail is still up in the air. In general, due to overcrowding, women sent to jail for non-violent crimes only serve about 25 percent of their sentence, LA County Sherif spokesman Steve Whitmore said.
Lohan will serve her time behind bars at the Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood, Calif.
Under the terms of her sentence, two days after her release Lohan will have to report to a 90 day in-patient treatment program.
Additionally, until further notice by the court, Lohan will continue to submit to weekly random drug tests. Also, like now, the actress is not allowed to consume any alcohol until her probation is complete in August 2011.
She will surrender to authorities on July 20th at 8:30 AM, likely here in Beverly Hills. Lohan was sobbing loudly as her sentence was read.
In announcing her decision, Judge Marsha Revel said of the actress: "She comes and goes when she feels like it."
Fighting back tears, Lohan then addressed the court before sentencing.
"I wasn't expecting special treatment," Lohan told the court. "I have to provide for myself, I have to work. I did everything I was told to do ... I'm not taking this as a joke, this is my life."
With Lohan sobbing in the background, her lawyer Shawn Chapman Holley, fully aware which way the wind was blowing at this point, pleaded to the judge: "At the end of the day, she has done far more than she hasn't done."
After sentencing outside the court, the actress' father Michael Lohan briefly told the press that the system had failed his daugter.
Lisa Bloom, Michael Lohan's attorney, told the press, "We have had one mission and that's to get Lindsay to rehab."
Bloom expressed her hope that the actress would go to a treatment center before her surrender to authorities.

You'd think things couldn't go from bad to worst for Lindsay Lohan -- but they just might have. In clarifying a point made by defense lawyer Shawn Chapman Holley, Judge Marsha Revel let it slip out that she thinks Lohan has definitely violated the terms and conditions of her probation.
