Michael Lohan Admits to Booking Lindsay on 'Letterman'
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."

I am an attorney in Tennessee. I spent about 15 years watching my wife die of an addiction, so I have a wealth of experience I would rather not have. Mr. and Mrs. Lohan's conduct is simply reprehensible. They are not only in denial, but they are clearly much more interested in making money off Lindsay, than in her well being. Lindsay would be much better off sober, and with no career, than she is today. The Lohan's conduct and denial simply keeps Lindsay on her self destructive course, and I can tell you from experience that she will have a very bad end unless she can walk away from her family and friends, take a serious break from her career, and devote herself single mindedly towards sobriety. Her counselors undoubtedly told her she must separate herself from everyone who encourages her sick behavior, and she should listen to them. Her counselors know what they are talking about.

Thank God she won't be appearing....she is a disgrace to any and everything decent.

I wonder about this because everybody knows people are booked through their agents. Of course CBS knows this. Did CBS take the fathers word hat she was booked. They would have known if she was because a deal would have been made with her agent. This sounds strange to me. I think she will appear sometime in the future and they will refer to this in the ad for her appearance on the show. Hype.

MOST OF YOU ARE MISSING THE POINT. MOMMA (DINA) AND DADDY (MICHAEL) HAVE NO LIFE OTHER THAN THE LINDSAY TRAIN. THIS GIRL IS IN SO MUCH DISTRESS MENTALLY AND HER PARENTS COULD GIVE A CRAP LESS. DINA SAYS "EVERYTHING IS JUST FINE", ITS NOT DINA YOUR DAUGHTER IS NOT OK. MICHAEL BOOKS A SHOW WITHOUT HER PERMISSION, AND GETS A FEE, AND HE THINKS THAT WILL MAKE HER BETTER, SHE IS NOT OK. BE PARENTS!!!!!!!!! AS FAR AS CBS WHY WOULD THEY REWARD THIS GIRL WITH A LETTERMAN APPEARANCE? LAST I HEARD IS SHE IS CHARGED WITH A FELONY.

Letterman, Leno, and the rest of the late night are un-entertaining. Much less Lohan. The best thing she could do is disappear

She is obviously a troubled little girl who, because she was spoiled by the curse of "stardom" has ruined her life. Maybe a long stint in rehab will help but my feeling is this is going to end very sadly. Just another example of what happens to supposedly "successful" people in this country.

I dout very much if U even know what Dago Means. Get a life dude !

Lindsay and Charlie should definitely hang out if they are going to continue to kill themselves partying.It would help out TMZ and other watchers of things like that.
I just don't understand how anyone in there right mind can steal when they are on probation?Is she really that stupid or does she have some sort of bi polar or other brain thing going on?

Going down in flames ya think?

The question is..., WHO will be wheeled out first in a body bag? Charlie Sheen, or Lindsey Lohan? I'm taking bets.

Lindsay. She'll turn 'hooker', have an argument over pay with charlie and he'll kill her.
Ok.. We are reporting that someone other than her manager tried to book her on a show that didn't even go into advertising it yet? On top of that, no one really knew to begin with?
Why is this important at all? She's an actress.. If she's not in a movie, or performing somewhere, who cares?
