As part of his parole stemming from a 2006 DUI arrest, Alexander, 27, was ordered to complete an alcohol education program.

According to court papers, a judge sentenced him to 10 days in jail Wednesday after he blew off a second appointment visiting the county morgue.

The judge also ordered him to readmit to a six-month alcohol program.

He's currently being detained at the Pitchess Detention Center in Castaic, California.

Los Angeles Sheriff's Department spokesperson Steve Whitmore told Usmagazine.com Alexander would likely only serve seven days of his sentence because of an early-release program.

He's due back in court Feb. 2, 2009 to discuss the progress of his alcohol education program.

Alexander and Spears, 27, were childhood friends. They wed in a spontaneous Las Vegas ceremony in 2004. It was annulled two days later.
