Cheryl Hines LOVES Lindsay Lohan!

I really do hope that Linds has gotten her shit together. YOU KNOW I'm a sucker for a comeback. Especially when the person coming back has some talent. But at the same time, I wonder if all of the positive press is merely a ploy by the studio to turn public opinion around....?

Lindsay Lohan has made her 'Labor Pains' co-star Cheryl Hines "very proud".

Hines has nothing but praise for the former-troubled star -- and says she was very professional during filming of the upcoming comedy flick.

She tells People magazine, "I have had a great time shooting with her, and when we have scenes together we have a lot of fun improvising.

"It usually ends in a big laugh fest, and they have to cut because we can't talk anymore."

Hines, who has starred with Larry David in the HBO hit Curb Your Enthusiasm since 2000, insists she expected nothing less from the 22-year-old star – even in light of Lohan's past troubles on set.

"It was what I expected," Hines said of Lohan's professionalism. "I honestly expected that she's gotten herself together, and really wanted to work and that's what she's showing us. I'm very proud of her."

Lohan's movie career has been stalled by stints in rehab, but a Labor Pains producer last month confirmed that those days appear to be over – the 'Mean Girls' star -- who is rumored to be dating DJ Samantha Ronson -- showed up for work June 9 on the L.A. location and has consistently been early and well-prepared for the grueling 12-hour shoots.
