ROUGH CUT (NO REPORTER NARRATION) Actress Lindsay Lohan made a surprise appearance at an AIDS benefit gala on Wednesday (February 06) in New York. The star of the movie "Mean Girls," who has been in and out of rehab and jail since 2007 was wearing a Roberto Cavalli dress for the stars studded black-tie event. She will stand trial on March 18 on charges she lied to California police about a June car crash and violated probation, raising the possibility she could be sent back to jail. A judge in Los Angeles last Wednesday (January 30) set the trial date on charges related to the car crash and said the court will hold a hearing at the same time on whether Lohan in the incident violated probation from a 2011 jewellery theft. The 26-year-old was also arrested in New York on a misdemeanor assault charge in November. The Manhattan district attorney's office has not filed a criminal complaint in the assault case.
