" David Letterman explained the recent events surrounding Lindsay Lohan and The Late Show during his monologue on Wednesday.  It had been announced that the actress would read the Top 10 list this week, although it later emerged that the booking had been made by somebody who wasn&amp;#039;t authorised to speak on her behalf.  The talkshow host explained that the whole situation began after he made a joke on the CBS programme relating to the recent theft charge filed against Lohan. &amp;quot;Last week I did a thing on the Grammys with a Top 10 list,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;There was a Lindsay Lohan joke about her stealing a Grammy Award. The next day, I got a call from a guy who said, &amp;#039;Lindsay thought the joke was hilarious! She wants to be on your show!&amp;#039;. &amp;quot;I said, &amp;#039;Great!&amp;#039; I called publicity and said, &amp;#039;Get the press release out immediately!&amp;#039; It went around the world. People said, &amp;#039;Are you kidding me?! This will be fantastic! This will be like the Super Bowl&amp;#039;... and then Lindsay Lohan says none of this is happening.&amp;quot; He went on to joke: &amp;quot;It turns out I was duped. I have no-one to blame but myself and boy is my face red... Now I need to apologise to the Lindsay Lohan family. I hope I didn&amp;#039;t embarrass you and your family.&amp;quot; Lohan was charged with theft earlier this month after a diamond necklace allegedly went missing from an LA jewellery store. She has pleaded not guilty to the charge. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
