Former teen starlet Lindsay Lohan has been ordered to spend 90 days in jail after violating her probation.

The star cried in court as she was handed the sentence, which must begin by July 20.

LiLo was told to attend alcohol education classes as part of her probation relating to drug and driving offences from 2007.

The prosecutor argued that the Mean Girls star was partying in Cannes when she was supposed to be in court this May.

Distraught Lohan told the court: “I did do everything I was told to do and did the best I could to balance jobs and showing up.”

“I'm not taking this as a joke. It's my life. It's my career. ... I take responsibility for my actions.”

A spokesman for the court Steve Whitmore said the actress was likely to serve only 25% of her sentence because of overcrowding.

He also said she would be separate from other prisoners, saying: “A person [of] such notoriety will be kept away from the general population."
