Victoria Beckham, Cameron Diaz, Robin Williams, Jessica Biel and Bruce Willis were among the celebrities poised to pass the popcorn at Sunday's 16th annual MTV Movie Awards, but Lindsay Lohan planned to pass on the show.
The actress, scheduled to be a presenter of the ceremony's distinctive "Golden Popcorn" trophy before she checked into rehab last week, was skipping the telecast, her publicist confirmed Friday.
Lohan sought treatment after a wild Memorial Day weekend during which she crashed her Mercedes-Benz into a curb, was arrested for investigation of driving under the influence and was photographed slumped in the passenger seat of a friend's car.
Two "Dreamgirls" stars, Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson and Grammy winner Beyonce Knowles, were in the running for best performance at the Sunday night awards, scheduled for live broadcast on MTV from the Gibson Amphitheatre in Universal City. Sarah Silverman was set to host.
