Lohan to plead no contest to misdemeanor theft charge

Lindsay Lohan could be headed back to prison for a few weeks.

Lindsay Lohan's latest legal fiasco maybe soon be over.

The troubled starlet is expected to plead no contest to the misdemeanor theft charge of a $2,500 necklace next week, TMZ.com reported on Saturday.

The actress, sources told the website, just wants to move on with her life

"I've made a lot of poor decisions in the past and I'm dealing with the consequences of those decisions," she told Jay Leno in an appearance on his show earlier this week. "I'm a fighter and I know I have to gain the respect back."

The "Mean Girls" star was already sentenced to 120 days in jail and 480 hours of community service for violating probation last week.

Lohan's lawyer Shawn Holley appealed the jail sentence immediately, so the star was freed on bond after only a few hours behind bars.

If the sentence is upheld, due to overcrowding and time off for good behavior, Lohan is expected to serve only a fraction of that time.

Her lawyers are reportedly hoping that the judge will not add any additional time for the misdemeanor theft charge.

Once her legal troubles are behind her, Lohan could be back on the silver screen soon. She inked her first gig in an upcoming movie about the Gotti mob family earlier this month.
