Michelle Rodriguez remains “as positive as ever” despite her six-month prison sentence for violating probation in a DUI case, according to a posting from the webmaster on her official MySpace page.

“Yes, it’s true. 180 days in county jail. That is her sentence,” the message reads. “But all is well. She is and will be just fine. Just hours after this ruling, she’s as positive as ever.”

A brief note was also posted on her official Web site, Michelle-Rodriguez.com. That message reads simply: “Yes, it’s true. But Michelle is Michelle, so no worries. Check back.”

The former Lost star must report to a Los Angeles County jail by Dec. 24 as well as complete 30 days of road clean-up duty. In the meantime, though, she’s got a major job pending.

“Michelle will still be leaving for New Zealand to film James Cameron’s Avatar and will then report back to turn herself in to serve her sentence on Christmas Eve,” says the MySpace posting. “Michelle is a survivor and is always growing from her experiences, and this will be no different.”

Rodriguez stars alongside Sigourney Weaver in the $190 million sci-fi epic from the Titanic director. The film is due for a May 2009 release.

The MySpace posting urges fans to support Rodriguez but not worry about her. “Keep her in your thoughts and prayers and send your love and positivity her way and again, know that she currently is and always will be alright,” it reads. “Nothing will bring her down, especially not something like this.”

Too bad she didn’t have Paris’ lawyer!

Michelle Rodriguez was sentenced Wednesday to six months in jail for violating probation in a DUI case.

“(She) admitted violating her probation by failing to provide proof of completion of her community service and for consuming alcohol three times while wearing an alcohol-monitoring device,” said the L.A. City Attorney’s office in a statement.

Superior Court Judge Daviann L. Mitchell also ruled that the actress is not to be granted an early release, despite L.A.’s jail overcrowding. She was also ordered to complete 30 days of road clean-up duty.

The City Attorney’s office had alleged that Rodriguez turned in a false document showing that she completed one day of service on Sept. 25, court filings show. The actress later stated that she was in New York on that date.

Her attorney, Shawn Chapman Holley, did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Last month, her previous attorney, Richard Beada, said: “We believe this is all due to a clerical error. My client did complete the full 30 days.”

Rodriguez, 29, had been serving an extended probation term for numerous driving infractions.

In May 2006, she served only four hours and 20 minutes of a two-month sentence at the Lynwood, Calif., jail for violating probation, stemming from a DUI arrest in Hawaii in December 2005.

She served, however, just over two days in a Honolulu jail in that case.

In June 2004, Rodriguez had been placed on three years’ probation after pleading no contest to DUI and driving with a suspended license from two separate incidents in the Hollywood area in 2003.

“She hasn’t shown proof of completion of her 30 days of community service,” said City Attorney spokesman Frank Mateljan. “She could face jail time, but it’s up to the judge.”
