Lindsay Lohan will be on Letterman. Oh wait nevermind.

Yesterday it was announced that Lindsay Lohan would be presenting the Top Ten list on the Late Show With David Letterman tomorrow night, via satellite from her house in LA.

This is actually a smart move for Lindsay because it puts her back in the spotlight, back on a huge show that everyone will see but in an environment where she doesn’t have to answer any awkward, or in her case incriminating, questions.

Needless to say she won’t be doing it now.

“I am NOT going to be doing David Letterman, I’m not sure how this happened, but I am sorry for the confusion.”

And a producer for Letterman told E!…

“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.”

So it was her mom. Obviously. What’s not obvious is why she won’t do it. She can’t read 10 lines off a card from her living room? She’s too busy? Are we even positive she can read? Because she was home-schooled, for Christs sake, by Dina Lohan. If she even knows why things fall down or where her belly button is it would be nothing short of astonishing.

SURPRISING UPDATE – so actually it was her dad who called Letterman, but only after approving it with her, at least according to him. She says she had no idea. God only knows what the truth is. You might as well question a family of possums.
