Michael Lohan Admits to Booking Lindsay on 'Letterman'

By Sarah Crow Posted Feb 16th 2011 03:12PM

Lindsay Lohan's career may be in dire need of a jump-start, but contrary to reports, the troubled actress won't be appearing on the small screen any time soon.

CBS announced Tuesday that the 'Mean Girls' star would appear on David Letterman's show to deliver the famous Top Ten list, a claim now being refuted by the network.

CBS reports that they were duped into believing the actress would come on the program by someone claiming to be a member of Lohan's inner circle. Lindsay's father, Michael, has since come forward as the source behind the idea, telling TMZ that he thought up the plan after Letterman made a joke about Lindsay, which reportedly amused the actress.

Although Lindsay claims that she never agreed to appear on Letterman's show, Michael Lohan says that it was his daughter's handlers who stopped the plan from going forward.

"Anything positive that I bring into her life ... [her people] try to nix it."

The network released the following statement regarding the appearance this morning:

"Lindsay Lohan will not be delivering a Top Ten list on Thursday's LATE SHOW with DAVID LETTERMAN, as had been previously announced. We made a mistake. Someone purporting to be a friend of Lindsay's reached out to the show yesterday, allegedly on her behalf, and booked her to appear. Clearly, this person was not authorized to make commitments on her behalf. We wish Lindsay well, and look forward to having her on the show in the future."

Despite Dina Lohan's assertion that things are "all good" with her daughter, the actress was accused of swiping a $2,500 necklace from a Venice, Calif., boutique shortly after leaving a lengthy rehab stint.

Following Lohan's entry of a not guilty plea, the judge trying the case told the troubled star, "You need to follow the law just like everyone else. You are no different than anyone else, so please don't push your luck. I'm telling you -- things will be different."

From the look of her face in court, she just doesn't get it. No wonder most Hollywood celebrities are liberal. They live a lifestyle that is so far from reality that they quickly forget how life really is.

Between a never ending line of narcissistic award shows to vacations in international ports of call one wonders how they actually get any work in.

I know, 20 hour days making a film where the lower actors get hundreds of thousands to multi millions with the high profiles is really tough. Boo f'n Hoo

who cares about this freak,lesbo drug addict, throw her in a giant metal box with sheen and a few others from hollyweird sickland and destroy the key to the lock on the box

I know you were thrying to be funny but did you really mean to say throw her in jail with Charlie Sheen. As you said she is a lesbian and it would be like an endless buffet to her. But the Charlie part. Think about it. Charlie locked in a women's prison as punishment. Then again if he couldn't keep it up long enough to service all of them they might decide to hurt him.

Let's look at what is really going on here. Lindsay is getting more publicity. David Letterman which is rare is being taken advantage in this little publicity stunt. In which Lindsay even though now booked and could show up is WOW "saying no to David Letterman". I'm certain she believes this will somehow increase her stock. That's just a peak behind the smoke and mirrors.

Who would want to watch anything with L. Lohan anyway ???

Ahh! I SEE.

The Top Ten Reasons your publicist does NOT want to you appear on David Lettermans Show.

I thought Lindsey was suppose to stay away from bad influences. Sad to say but this includes her mother and father.

By Gracee

There's a father as sick as the daughter!

By Tom

Said it before, saying it again, Lohan is a total waste of oxygen. How many "overs" does this twit get? Prison and the max sentence under the law. NOW!!

By watching

Lindsey L...P l e a s e.... and how old is she? 40 something?...her movies stink...as for the David letterman show, it's probably for publicity and ratings......What's with some of these actors? They have a career and money...then throw it down the drain with drugs and alcohol...

By lk

Oh Happy Day!! Who wants to see her anyway!! She belongs in Jail!!

By mixnmatch4

The writer is stupid. She'll be on the small screen within a week or two. She'll make the National news by stealing, wrecking, or screwing something. Oh yeah...it's still Lindsay!

By mannequin

Go away Lindsay. Stick to the courtroom drama; you do it so well.

By oxoboxo

I'd hit it.

By kommgusto

She's a baddddd gurl that needs me to give her a licking.

By Ted Turner

Lindsay Lohan is a good actress. Her problem is that she never had a life, or a real relationship. Her parents never seemed to care about her, except as a meal ticket. They have no skills or intelligence of their own. Just look at the father; he is alrady trying to book her on shows. What an idiot, and child user/abuser. And, Leterman would have used her, too.
