WEDNESDAY AM UPDATE: Statement from Tom Keaney for David Letterman’s Worldwide Pants Inc which produces the Late Show:
“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.”
TUESDAY: David Letterman’s Late Show tweeted today that accused grand theft criminal Lindsay Lohan will be presenting Thursday’s Top Ten List. I don’t know which is worse: that Dave is exploiting her for ratings during sweeps, or that she keeps exploiting herself. (Deadline only writes about celeb careers.) I hear she was booked before the Top 10 list has even been written. What do you think the topic should be?
Editor-in-Chief Nikki Finke - tip her here.

Top Ten list: why Letterman is such a bitter multi-milliomaire.
Spot on, jon, though Letterman’s notorious bitterness hits too close to home for a “Top 10″.
So we’ll see something more generically funny. The List won’t be too negative, like “Why I’m Not a Thief”, or anything like that.
More like, “The Top 10 Reasons Lindsay Lohan’s doing Letterman’s Show”.
So Dave can wind up with, “And the #1 Reason Lindsay Lohan’s doing the David Letterman Show”…
and Lindsay answers, ” Free necklace!”
The Top Ten Reasons we don’t watch Letterman.
Uh, who cares? Letterman has celebrities of varying repute do the Top Ten all the time.
Furthermore, isn’t it strange that you’re tsk-tsk’ing David Letterman for using Lindsay Lohan on his show and then you solicit jokes from your readers by saying “what do you think her topic should be?”
Late Night hosts exploit troubled celebrities by poking fun at them.
In other news this evening: The Pope is Catholic.
Touché.
Top 10 ways of stealing and getting away with it.
Exploitation?? Not in Hollywood? I am shocked and appalled.
How is this exploiting Lindsay? I agree with King Barf when he says that celebrities do this all the time. Not only that but isn’t this what sweeps is all about, the special guests and surprises to get people to watch?
:
Top Ten Reasons: Why am I throwing away my life with all the chances I have had?
or, The Top Ten Reasons: Why my family has made me totally dysfunctional?
or, and this is my personal favorite,
The Top Ten Reasons Why Charlie Sheen and I are a match made in heaven?.
And, Dave, shame on you for doing this!!!!!!!!!!
The first thing Tom said. There are millions of people whose lot in life is much worse than Lindsay’s and, yet, they manage to do make something positive with their lives.
Sorry, Lindsay, but you’ve had your shot; I’ve rooted for you but, since you clearly choose not to help yourself – and it is a choice – I just can’t muster the energy to care anymore.
Another creative victory for the Stangels *rolls eyes*
JohnDoe is right. There are more important things than Lindsay or David. You’re making this site irrelevant. Stop now.
Top Ten Reasons why Lindsey Lohan is more important than the Egyptian Revolution, in the long run…
“I hear she was booked before the Top 10 list has even been written.”
Why would you write a top ten list for someone who isn’t booked?
Lohan may never have been booked. Maybe just a ploy to get the eyeballs?
Whoever snuck in that “(Deadline only writes about celeb careers.)” after the original post, nice one.
How’s this any different from Blagovevich going on a million different shows whilst awaiting trial? I’m pretty sure every other late night show wish they had have booked her first.
Top 10 reasons Letterman should retire.
ding-ding!
We have a winner.
if lindsay was a three year old, it probably would be exploiting.
In this case, it’s no different than Paris Hilton being on Letterman’s show a number of times to try to clean up her public image.
Lindsay has far more to gain from this than letterman’s dying late night show.
Boy is Charlie Sheen going to be miffed. He’s the idiot of the week and without having to steal a single necklace.
the topic for the list no doubt will be the top ten new excuses Lindsey will try to give the judge to avoid finaly going to jail again. besides this was proably taped before she wound back in court again.even though Dave should have known better then to add any more fuel to the walking train wreck that is Lindsey
So Letterman and the rest of the staff and Network are just enablers..the kid will never get well..she keeps getting praise for bad and criminal behavior..Isn’t being on Letterman up past her parole bed time?
The staff and network are the enablers–of the host. They know how to bring in the eyeballs.
Also heard he is having Joy Philbin on reading Top Ten things that went through her mind when Regis announced retirement.
CAN WE SAY..JUMPING THE SHARK???????????????..
Snore….and by the way, I will be asleep when this airs.
Throw her in solitary confinement, throw away the key and forget about her.
How about the Top Ten Things Stolen by Lindsay Lohan?
Exactly she should be arrested in New York because she stole a woman’s $10,000 mink fur coat she saw it and decided to take it. The woman sued and it was settled out of court but she should have been arrested in Manhattan and charged with grand larceny. She also stole a rolex watch she thinks she’s entitled to steal things because she’s famous. And she stole jewelery from a photo shoot in London which she should have been arrested for.
You don’t know which is worst? I think “worst” would be if she was an intern on his show.
Dave has a history of treating women like shit; that’s his thing, famous or not (leave your politics at the door: this is the guy who joked about a 14-year-old girl getting raped by A-Rod).
Letterman is so irrelevant and dated and out of it. The only thing more outdated and irrelevant is Leno. These guys ned to be buried.
That’s why I love that Tosh.0 had her voice the warning at the top of their show but never said a word about it. Don’t think most people recognize it’s her.
