I Like It I Don't Like It
Michelle Rodriguez has been released from jail early after just 17 days, according to the L.A. County Sheriff's Web site.

The actress, best known for her role on Lost, was sentenced to 180 days for violating probation stemming from her DUI arrest. She checked into the Lynwood, California, jail days before Christmas, on Dec. 23.

Rodriguez, 29, admitted to violating her probation by failing to provide proof of completion of community service and for drinking three times while wearing an alcohol-monitoring anklet.

"She's nice, personable, down to earth ... nothing like Paris Hilton!" a correctional officer told Us a few days into her stint. "She asked to work," the source said of the star who helped in the kitchen. "She said she wanted a job and didn't want to be isolated like other celebs."

When asked by Us if she was nervous about her jail time, Rodriguez replied, "I'm a woman, honey!"

The news was first reported by TMZ.com.
