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."

Are we really still referring to Lohan as a "star"? What has she done in the last 5 years besides get drunk and party???? Her career needs a jumpstart so I guess we'll be hearing about how she was abused as a child , prior wild sex parties and rampant drug use. Perhaps she can use the new and popular "bullying" angle to try and gain some sympathy.

If Society is lucky...outside of her Mom & Dad...she won't have a future with anybody. This is a loser. She can't act, sing, or dance. And she has the personality of a frozen bottle of piss.

I hope Lindsay doesn`t sink low enough to be on sexual pervert Lettermans`show.
