Morning Brew: Lohan walks in and out of jail, Wayne Newton is sidelined...

.aaaaaaalohan.jpgWell what fun is this? At least when Paris Hilton went to jail and got an early release, she got dragged back kicking and screaming and crying. Not Lindsay Lohan.

The "Mean Girls" star, who had reached a plea deal on her two DUI cases, reported to Lynwood jail Thursday to serve her sentence which was to be a minimum of 24 hours. Just 84 minutes later, Lindsay's hard time in the hole was up and she was a free woman. All we have to remember it by is this mug shot which, frankly, isn't as good as the one from when she was first arrested. Why couldn't they have just used that one?

The LA County Sheriff's Dept. stated that Lohan, 21 and recent rehab grad, turned herself in at 10:30 a.m., and was released at 11:54 a.m. The jail has a long-standing policy of releasing non-violent offenders early due to overcrowding. Sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore told People.com: "Ms. Lohan was cooperative. She was fingerprinted, photographed, and put in a holding cell, but was let go due to our early release policy."

Lindsay still has to complete 10 days of community service which she began on Monday at an American Red Cross blood services facility. She is also on three years probation and must complete an 18-month alcohol program.

Let's hope her lesson has been learned!

.aaaaaaanewton.jpgWayne Newton is a showbiz trouper, but even he knows the show can't go on when you have a heart condition.

Wayne had to cancel a two-month engagement at Harrah's in Las Vegas after being diagnosed with a viral infection to the heart, known as cardiomyopathy. He will be able to perform for some shows in the "Dancing with the Stars" tour early next year and will attend the "Dancing" finale in rwo weeks, but won't perform. The doctors tell Wayne that he should be recovered in two months' time.
