LOS ANGELES – Lindsay Lohan received her second favorable probation report in a row and a judge told the actress that she appears to be on track to complete a strict program by the end of March.

Lohan appeared in court for less than five minutes Tuesday to update the judge on her progress in completing strict probation terms that were imposed in November after a series of missteps by the actress.

By all accounts, the rigid program has benefited Lohan, with Superior Court Judge Stephanie Sautner telling Lohan that she received favorable reports from probation officials and her community service program. Lohan is doing mandatory cleanup duty at the county morgue and attending frequent psychotherapy sessions, with Sautner requiring Lohan to appear in court monthly for updates.

“Just keep doing what you’re doing, you appear to be doing it well,” Sautner told Lohan.

The model and actress arrived early for Tuesday’s hearing, wearing black slacks, a blue top and matching sweater.

The “Mean Girls” star will have to work at the morgue 15 times before she returns to court on Feb. 22.

Sautner said Lohan appears to be on track to complete morgue duty and court-mandated therapy by March 29, just shy of five years after the actress’ problems began with a drunken driving arrest on Memorial Day weekend in 2007. After that, she will probably be placed on informal probation that won’t require court appearances.

Will Taylor Swift sing about Jake?

NEW YORK – Should Jake Gyllenhaal be worried?

Taylor Swift graces the cover of Vogue’s February issue and tells the magazine her next album will be about an “absolute crash-and-burn heartbreak” she experienced.

The 22-year-old singer doesn’t name names, but she did date Gyllenhaal for a few months in 2010, and he broke up with her.

Swift says it helps her to “feel better” and gain “clarity” by writing songs about her relationships.

She also says she now has a list of “red flags” for if a relationship won’t work: If a guy falls in love with her based on her Wikipedia page, is threatened that she needs security, puts her down or is obsessed with privacy, he’s not for her.

The February issue of Vogue magazine goes on sale Jan. 24.

Garth Brooks wants his donation to hospital back

CLAREMORE, Okla. – Country music star Garth Brooks is suing an Oklahoma hospital, saying it reneged on a promise to name a building after his late mother in exchange for a $500,000 donation.

Brooks’ lawsuit against Integris Canadian Valley Regional Hospital in Yukon seeks the return of the December 2005 donation. The trial began Tuesday.

Brooks says hospital officials showed him mock-ups of buildings bearing Colleen Brooks’ name and told him his donation was earmarked for such a project.

The hospital denies any wrongdoing and in court filings says Brooks’ donation was “anonymous and unconditional.”

Dressed in jeans and a black cowboy hat, Brooks shook hands with lawyers and made small talk before proceedings began Tuesday.

He was accompanied by his wife, country singer Trisha Yearwood.
