LOS ANGELES |
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Troubled actress Lindsay Lohan will not be appearing after all on David Letterman's late night TV talk show, producers said on Wednesday, after what appeared to be a hoax by someone in Lohan's camp.
CBS announced on Tuesday that Lohan, 24, would be appearing on "The Late Show with David Letterman" via satellite on Thursday to deliver the "Top Ten" comedy segment.
It would have been the first TV appearance by the "Mean Girls" actress since she was charged last week with stealing a $2,500 gold necklace days after leaving her fifth stint in rehab in three years.
But a spokesman for the show's production company Worldwide pants said on Wednesday that Lohan would not be appearing.
"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," spokesman Tom Keaney said in a statement
"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," Keaney added.
Lohan herself sent a Twitter message to fans late last night apologizing for the confusion. "I am NOT going to be doing David Letterman, I'm not sure how this happened, but I am sorry for the confusion," she tweeted.
It was not immediately clear who was responsible for the hoax.
Lohan, once one of Hollywood's most promising young stars, is facing a possible three year sentence if convicted of walking out of a Los Angeles jewelry store in January without paying for the necklace.
She has pleaded not guilty to grand theft -- the most serious charge against her in three years of failed drug tests, missed court appearances and brief spells in jail stemming from a 2007 drunk driving and cocaine possession offense.
