The judge who issued a bench warrant for Lindsay Lohan on Thursday is reportedly taking time out of her vacation to preside over the actress' next scheduled hearing on Monday.
Judge Marsha N. Revel was supposed to start her vacation on Monday -- with another judge overseeing Lohan's court date -- but Revel has decided to use her first vacation day to handle Lohan's hearing, a court spokesman tells the Los Angeles Times.

Madonna is speaking out in support of two gay men who were handed a 14-year jail sentence in the African nation of Malawi, the same country where two of her children were born.
According to the Associated Press, two gay men, Steven Monjeza and Tiwonge Chimbalanga, were sentenced to 14 years in prison, including hard labor, simply because they are homosexual. The men were arrested in December after they celebrated their engagement with a party, the AP reports.
Madonna, whose two youngest children, David and Mercy, were adopted from Malawi, spoke out harshly against the Malawian court's decision, saying, "I am shocked and saddened by the decision made today by the Malawian court, which sentenced two innocent men to prison.

Lance Armstrong began his Thursday by addressing his ex-teammate's doping allegations against him, and later tweeted about his own condition after taking a "face first" spill during a cycling race.
The seven-time Tour de France winner spoke out Thursday morning about allegations hurled at him by cyclist Floyd Landis, who once biked on Armstrong’s team and, according to the Associated Press, alleged in e-mails that Armstrong used to dope with him and taught other cyclists how to do so as well.
"Obviously everyone has questions about Floyd Landis and his allegations," Armstrong said. "I would say that I'm a little surprised, but I am not. In all honesty, this has been going on for a long time. The harassment and threats from Floyd started a few years ago and really, at that time, we largely ignored him… A year ago, I told him, 'Listen, you do what you have to do.' We ...
