"&lt;strong&gt;Michael Lohan&lt;/strong&gt; has revealed HE is the mystery person who booked &lt;strong&gt;Lindsay Lohan &lt;/strong&gt;on \"&lt;strong&gt;Letterman&lt;/strong&gt;\" this week ... and tells TMZ he only signed her up after getting the green light from Lindsay herself. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=\"http://ll-media.tmz.com/2011/02/16/0216-michael-lilo-leterman-getty-tmz-ex-2.jpg\" alt=\"Lindsay Lohan Letterman\" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In case you haven't heard -- Letterman had to issue a retraction this morning, explaining Lindsay would not be doing the \"Top 10\" bit on Thursday as they had announced yesterday -- after Lindsay tweeted that she NEVER agreed to do the show.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Letterman's people released a statement explaining how someone \"purporting to be a friend of Lindsays\" reached out to them and made the booking ... but Dave's camp didn't reveal the name of the friend. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But Michael says he was behind it -- telling TMZ he got the idea after Dave cracked a joke at Lindsay's expense during Friday's \"Top 10\" ... and Lindsay was into it.&amp;#160; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Michael says Lindsay \"knew full well\" about the booking ... they even discussed transportation from the L.A. studio, where Lindsay would be doing the bit via satellite. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Michael insists everything was going smoothly&amp;#160; -- until Lindsay's reps got wind of the appearance and shut it down. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, Michael tells us he's pissed -- adding, \"Anything positive that I bring into her life ... [her people] try to nix it.\"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!-- relatedlinks --&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.tmz.com/photos/2006/09/08/103-lindsay-lohan\"&gt;&lt;img alt=\"0811_lindsay_lohan_footer\" src=\"http://ll-media.tmz.com/2010/08/11/0811-lindsay-lohan-footer-credit.jpg\" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
