Lindsay Lohan Misses 'Ellen' Playboy Appearance

Lindsay Lohan just can't catch a break. The problem-plagued actress has been faced with a string of new hardships in recent weeks, beginning with the anonymous hacker-produced leak of her Playboy spread, which forced Hugh Hefner and company to move up the magazine's publication date, followed by her being robbed at a party in Hawaii. The list of stolen items includes a $5,000 Chanel purse, which contained $10,000, a passport, probation papers and other forms of identification.

And Tuesday (December 13), MTV News has learned that Lohan's streak of trouble continues, as she will not be making her much-anticipated appearance on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show." "Lindsay Lohan's appearance has been canceled due to a missed flight," a rep from "Ellen" confirmed to MTV News.

Lohan was scheduled to appear on the show to talk about her Playboy shoot for the first time. There is no word on whether the appearance will be rescheduled.

In the January/February issue of Playboy, set to be released Friday, Lohan opens up about her ongoing problems. "Looking back, I probably would have listened to and taken more advice from the people whom I admire and would have followed through with it more," she told the magazine. "My stubbornness at 18 and 19 years old got in the way. During the past five years, I've learned that time flies faster than you think, and because you only live once, you have to learn from your mistakes, live your dreams and be accountable."
