JAIME PRESSLY AVOIDS JAIL TIME IN DUI CASE

We imagine Jaime Pressly  can't hardly wait to put this behind her.

The former My Name is Earl star will avoid the slammer and serve three years on summary probation after striking a deal with prosecutors that saw her plead no contest today to a misdemeanor DUI count of driving with a blood-alcohol .08 percent or higher, stemming from last January's bust in Santa Monica.

In exchange, prosecutors agreed to drop another count of driving under the influence.
