Lindsay Lohan won’t attend the famous Vienna opera ball tonight because she missed her flight to Europe. She had been invited to the annual event (a gig which reportedly pays $150,000) by businessman Richard Lugner but failed to board her flight from L.A. to London on time because her shopping trip ran a little late.
Lugner claims the British Airways aircraft had waited for the starlet – who was then due to get a connecting flight to Vienna – but when she boarded she was asked to leave because she couldn’t afford the $22,000 the carrier charged for the two-hour delay.
Lugner, 77, said:
“She wanted to pay it, but her card’s credit limit was not high enough.”
He is famous for inviting/paying high-profile guests including Pamela Anderson and Paris Hilton to attend with him. He is now believed to have invited a male German singer, producer and entertainer named Dieter Bohlen to be his date instead.
The first ball was held in the Vienna State Opera in 1877.
Do you believe this? Do you think maybe Lindsay just canceled but the press is trying to make it sound like she’s broke? I don’t know what to think anymore! $22,000 for a two hour delay seems a little crazy, doesn’t it?

Crackheads have no sense of time.
God she is so worthless. I would be seriously pissed if I was sitting on a plane that didn’t take off for two hours becuz of a freaking ass celeb.
“Lindsay Lohan won’t attend the famous Vienna opera ball tonight because she missed her flight to Europe.” I’m sorry but a flight to Europe?!????? what kind of flight is that?!? Europe is not a country, actually there are on or about Fifty Countries in EUROPE. I don’t want to be rude but seriously guys… a flight to Europe, ridiculous.
I think she missed her flight. Now due to what reason, you can only speculate. She needs the press and money. Plus, how super fun to go to Vienna and wear a designer gown. She really messed up.
i am so tired of this girl…
$10,000 fine for every hour there on the ground stick it to her!

she is that careless. And yes, BA will hold a flight for the right person, for the right price. $22,500 is more than fair when you consider how it inconveniences the other passengers and causes extra work for the airline to make sure that other passengers get later connecting flights.
Okay, she is almost as stupid as John Mayer.
I live in Vienna and I can tell you that this is true:))
This can’t be true. I refuse to believe anybody is that careless
Why would a commercial airliner delay a flight two hours for a single person? They rarely do it for me I know.
LOL! Totally agree.
AHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! This is one funny story.
I would rather have Dieter Bohlen as my guest .. at least he is a talented, as well as a singer, songwriter and producer.
Doh! He could have invited me… I would have made that filght!!
Wow WHY would she miss her flight just for a shopping trip when she needs the money?!!
