She has already ruffled plenty of feathers in the US, now Lindsay Lohan
has left a group of Australian event organisers frazzled.
It's highly unlikely Lohan will turn up for the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice
awards in Sydney on Wednesday night, but even if she does make it to
Australia, organisers behind the scenes are describing the negotiations
as a debacle.
"That woman, you could tear your hair out with her," a source close the
events team told S last week.
"We finally pulled the plug on her, so we're progressing without her in
place," she said. "But I guess we can't really say either way, because if
we get a last-minute phone call, it's not as though we're going to say
no."
The Kids' Choice management team had set a final deadline for Lohan to
agree to a contract by Thursday of last week, but Lohan's management had
not responded to the deadline.
"No contracts were signed by our final deadline," said the source. "It's
so hard to know what's actually happening."
Of course, the arrival of Lohan at any Australian event would generate a
mountain of global publicity - it's just a matter of getting the
party-hardened star on a plane.
Despite early claims the actor was signed up to attend the event, there's
no doubt negotiations have been tenuous from the word go.
Meanwhile, organisers are relying on local stars including Sophie Monk,
Guy Sebastian and Ian Thorpe for the event, which is aimed squarely at
kids and tween audiences. The awards, which will be broadcast on the
Nickelodeon channel (on pay TV) will be held at the Sydney Entertainment
Centre.
