Lindsay Lohan's excuse for walking out of a jewelry store with a piece the owner says she ripped off was that the store let her borrow the thing on loan.
The store basically called BS on that, saying they don't just loan stuff out. There are insurance requirements and lots of paperwork required beforehand.
Well, according to a Lohan source, she doesn't fill out diddly when she "borrows" necklaces ... she leaves that to her people, or so pals of the star say.
Lindsay's freedom in the great necklace caper is riding on her claim that the Venice, Calif., jewelery store owner loaned her the $2,500 necklace in question.
Proving that might be a tough task, but proving she's lying may be equally difficult for the accuser and D.A.'s office. Especially if someone else signed for it.
Lindsay is telling friends ... "I don't deal with things like that" and blowing it off as a "misunderstanding." But there's one issue with the "on loan" theory.
When she figured it out, why didn't she just return it to the store instead of sending an underling to the LAPD, just as they were ready to raid her place?
That one she may have to answer compellingly to law enforcement.
Looking ready for a weekend excursion, Christina Hendricks was spotted catching a flight at LAX Airport in Los Angeles on Friday afternoon (February 4).
The lovely redheaded "Mad Men" actress was accompanied by fiance Geoffrey Arend as the pair ventured towards the security checkpoint before proceeding towards their outbound terminal.
Having attended the SAG Awards last weekend, Miss Hendricks was asked about rumors claiming that she's been approached to take on the role of Wonder Woman in a new movie.
Denying any such job offer, Christina told E!, "No one has talked to me." She added, "I think it was some kid in his basement saying, Christina Hendricks should be Wonder Woman."
Enjoy the pictures of Christina Hendricks and her fiance Geoffrey Arend catching a flight at LAX airport in Los Angeles (February 4).
The actor, 23, accompanied actress Teresa Palmer, 24, to a screening of her upcoming flick Take Me Home Tonight on Thursday.
"There was definitely some hand-holding," a source tells PEOPLE of Efron and Palmer inside the screening's after-party at L.A.'s Pink Taco restaurant. "The two ate together and seemed really engaged in conversation. They seemed really into each other."
The source adds: "They weren't trying to hide their affection at all, even though they knew people were watching them."
But the night was just beginning.
Another source says Efron and Palmer went to Voyeur nightclub in West Hollywood. Efron "gave high-fives to his friends" and watched the barely dressed go-go dancers "slide up and down the wall" with "a huge smile on his face."
"Zac chatted with Teresa for awhile," the source says. "She leaned in close so she could hear over the music [while Zac was] smiling and slightly flirting with her. There was no overt PDA, but he was not shy about giving her leg the occasional touch."
Efron and his ex High School Musical girlfriend Hudgens, 22, called it quits in December after dating since 2006.

On making comedies: "I love doing comedies. Theyre just as hard, if not harder, to make work, compared with a drama. You work 17 hours a day, and you have to try to make things different and funny and relatable onscreen all at the same time."

RadarOnline claims that Tracy Morgan, who recently underwent a kidney transplant, shocked fans and media by admitting just last week it was his ex, Tanisha Hall, who gave him one of her kidneys, despite the fact he left her for another woman.
The site built its story around exclusive quotes from Morgans brother, James, and mom, Alicia Warden, who both said they were unaware that the 30 Rock star needed a transplant.
I just found out on the Internet last month that he had the operation, said his brother James. And his mom added, He didnt tell me about anything Someone came and told me they saw it on the Internet, so I was just as shocked.
Well, theres good reason they didnt know. Morgan and his relatives have been estranged for some time and frankly they probably shouldnt be commenting on his life.
Gossip Cop, however, has the real story directly from Morgan, who did NOT leave Hall for another woman after he received a kidney from her. The couple broke up well before the operation.
Morgan tells us exclusively, While I rarely engage in the rumor mill, the erroneous article on radaronline.com is disrespectful to those who have been so generous to me in a time of need and I feel obligated to set the record straight.
It saddens me that my estranged family felt the need to discuss my very personal situation without any facts, but the reality is that Tanisha Hall and I ended our relationship in October and have remained good friends. She was loving enough to give me one of her kidneys for the transplant I needed and I am forever grateful to her and her family for their support.
Don't misunderstand, we're totally happy for them if they are dating like the reports say, but c'mon! Twenty's a little young to get married, dontcha think?
The news coming out of the I Am Number Four press day is that stars Dianna Agron and Alex Pettyferare engaged. This was deduced by sources from the simple, thin diamond band Dianna was sporting on her left ring finger all afternoon. When she was asked about it, she told sources that her love life is "something I never like speaking [about]."
Coy much?! If celebs were more upfront, less rumors would get started, you know!
Neither of their reps are confirming or denying the news, but an anonymous source who's supposedly close to the pair says they're very "happy" about engagement.
If you're happy, we're happy for you but we still think he's too young to get married!
