Lindsay Lohan skips ‘Ellen DeGeneres’ taping

Lindsay Lohan has skipped out on her taping of the “Ellen DeGeneres Show,” where she was due to discuss her Playboy photo shoot.

Sources tell Gossip Cop that Lohan did not get on her flight from Hawaii to Los Angeles to tape the show. Paris Jackson, Michael Jackson’s daughter, filled in for Lohan’s absence, taking a seat on DeGeneres’ couch.

“Not a call or an apology from Lindsay,” a source at the show squeals.

Lohan’s appearance on “Ellen” was booked two months ago, reports say. It was part of her contractual obligation to Playboy magazine, whose January/February cover she appeared on for the rumored price of $1 million.

The original purpose of Lohan’s DeGeneres appearance was for her to unveil her Playboy spread, but that concept was complicated when the cover and 10 interior images were leaked last week on a file-sharing Web site based in the Ukraine.

Lohan had headed to Hawaii to attend the Billabong Pipeline Masters surf competition, which honored her friend, professional surfer Andy Irons, who died last year. While there, she reportedly had $10,000 stolen out of her purse at a house party.

Lohan is scheduled to appear in court tomorrow morning for a progress report on her community service at the Los Angeles county morgue. In advance of the hearing, sources had shared that Lohan had been a “model probationer.”

But a model talk show guest she is not.
