Things appear to be looking worse and worse for Lindsay Lohan as U.S. showbiz news show Entertainment Tonight aired yet more incriminating footage of the New Hottest-Actress reportedly stealing a $2,500 necklace.The brief clip, which was the second part of a three night segment, shows Lindsay, 24, inside the store and the moment They actually tried the necklace on.The star then puts her own necklace on over the top and wanders around the shop in a move that Entertainment Tonight's expert Marcia Clark, a former deputy district attorney, describes as behaviour of 'a typical shoplifter.'
