As Radar Online reports, the website NecklaceVideo.com is currently selling views of the Lindsay Lohan “case of the purloined necklace” surveillance video for $2.99 a pop. It seems incredibly tacky and stupid in that it could show a financial and promotional motive for pressing charges against Lindsay, and give her defense team solid evidence to cast doubt on the store’s version of events. We’ve already seen a segment of the video on Entertainment Tonight, after the store sold it to the Associated Press for a reported $40,000. Lindsay announced plans to sue over its release, but it’s unclear whether she actually followed through with that.
Now they’re offering views of the tape online for $2.99. The whole tape is about 45 minutes and it’s unclear to me from this story and from the website whether you have to pay each time for access to different parts of it.
The jewelry store at the center of the Lindsay Lohan theft case is charging online users $2.99 to watch the surveillance video showing the actress allegedly stealing a $2500 necklace, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting.
The video, which was first obtained by The Associated Press and licensed to Entertainment Tonight, shows four different camera angles and is 42 minutes in length.
On necklacevideo.com, a representative associated with Kamofie & Company is promising to post “new content every day” and are attempting to seduce an audience to “come back tomorrow for more.”
“We will help you make-up your mind about what really happened,” the website brazenly declares.
It is yet another bizarre development from the Venice Beach, Calif., store which also attempted but failed to attract a book deal.
They even touted a possible movie chronicling the high-profile case.
In an email promoting the website, necklacevideo.com declares that it can provide answers to whom to believe in the case and even whether Lohan, 24, will “someday win the Academy Award for Best Actress.”
“NecklaceVideo.com is disclosing everything,” it’s said, adding: “The entire video surveillance footage, the real nature of the necklace, the supposed dialogue between Lindsay and the salesgirl.”

This report on Radar makes it sound like it makes sense – there’s a website where you can buy access to the tape for $2.99. But the NecklaceVideo website is absurd. The other posts beneath the top one make no sense and read like the stuff that spammers put up as an excuse to include links to their websites. It’s confusing, and seems like they picked random filler stories for the rest of the website. Did they hire a non-English speaking person to make it for them and did they just post nonsense? It’s ridiculous. The sad thing is that this could vindicate Linnocent and add some credence to that “they’re just out to get me and hitch their name to my star” defense that she’s uses every single time.
So I have a potential conspiracy theory that Lindsay set up this website to make herself look like an innocent victim. There are certainly plenty of positive comments about her and the content of the site isn’t that negative apart from the video. It’s registered under a P.O. Box and someone named “C.M. Spencer,” who is “a crisis management expert who represents the jewelry store” and has spoken out about their justification for releasing the tape. This is a very dumb move and that website is ridiculous.

Is it possible that Kamofie is a bigger fame/moneywhore than Linnocent?
That’s disgusting. Between them selling the video to Radaronline, or whichever site they did, and now this cheesy way of making a few dollars and get publicity, I hope Lindsay gets off. And I can’t stand Lindsay. But this is a crock. I don’t look at then as any kind of victim anymore. What a waste of our taxpayer dollars on this.
Yeah, Lindsay always plays the victim but this jeweler is really bad news (or good news for Lilo).
Yeah, I can’t stand her either and the thought of her going to jail/prison used to make my heart flutter, but now it’s all just really sad. Like those pictures she took yesterday all strung out. Just sad.
Holy crap. It’s like there’s a global conspiracy to ensure that Lindsay is somehow never sufficiently punished by the long arm of the law. Absolutely unreal. The morons at that store just shot their case to shreds. Absolute stupidity.
“It’s registered under a P.O. Box and someone named “C.M. Spencer,” who is “a crisis management expert…”
C.M. Spencer, Let’s break it down.
C.M.=Crisis Management, Criminal Mind, Celebrity Mamaries, or Malcontent Chump (Reversed…very clever).
Spencer???? Hmmmmmm. Does anyone know a Spencer who is desperately trying to find his nitch in Hollywood. HMMMMM
Is anyone really paying to see this? I don’t care if it were 99 cents, I am not paying to see a Lohan ever.
LOL, Rita! You forgot the most likely one: CM=Crack mama
I honestly see nothing wrong with what they are doing. You know Lindsay and her family profit from everything they do. So, why can’t the jewelry store? They are just probably upset that someone else is getting money from that video instead of her pathetic self and family.
I cannot imagine paying to watch surveillance video of LL. Then again, I cannot imagine paying to watch any video of LL.
Is it trial time yet?
Off topic, but I love her earrings and that big ole rock on her finger.
Besides I couldn’t really think of anything clever after Rita and Brin posted. They’re too funny.
Those pupil-less eyes!!
That is a face of someone who has nothing to live for, no real direction or purpose.
She is like a walking, talking, breathing dead person.
Truly truly strange – almost sounds like a conspiracy between Lindsay and the store to score money and then have her found innocent and scoring more money for the rights to the entire story. The whole thing smells fishy. I wonder if this is even legal since there is a criminal charge and trial pending – can a witness actually sell its story before the trial? This would certainly influence any potential members of a jury pool.
I doubt they really care anymore if she is convicted. I think they would rather milk this opportunity for all it’s worth rather than sit back and let the law do its job. They probably weighed the options and realized that even if she is convicted they gain nothing, so what’s to stop them?
Although this probably started out as a standard shoplifting/theft case, the store’s actions go to show how anyone will do anything to turn a profit.
I doubt that Lindsay has anything to do with the store’s current actions, but I bet she will use the store owner’s greed to her advantage.
@ Rita & brin –
CM = Crack’s Mine!
The store’s reps are sinking their case.
It’s like there’s a universal Karma-blocker in place when it comes to Blohan’s her baby-clipping, thieving crack-shenanigans.
@bellaluna…lol, true but maybe it’s a crack-blocker!
That $2.99 is a tax on stupidity!
Lindsay looks more and more like Dina everyday. It’s scary. Pretty soon Dina will look like Lindsay’s daughter. That girl is going down the tubes fast!
It’s just a big joke, Lindsay’s team will use this and get her off Scott-free.
Lindsay can then carry on not so slowly killing herself under mama Lohan’s loving eye (sic) while ingesting crack, heroin or meth or all of them whilst sticking her finger up to the law! Sick mess all of it!
Why is it that the people she manages to steal from or assault end up being money hungry losers who shoot their own cases in the foot?
While this whole tape for sale thing is ridiculous and stupid, it shouldn’t affect the facts of the case – did she take something from the store or not?
I actually got an email update from necklacevideo.com about the video offer. But when clicked, it appears to be a scam or a virus of some sort. I don’t care to view the footage, but I was going to write about it….and I decided not to after that…
Hahaha @Rita
I’d love it if Spencer Pratt were behind this one
i wish they would just throw her scrawny crack head ass in jail so we dont have to hear about her anymore.
This is a bullshit lie spread by Dina. You can go to the jewellery store website and watch the video for free. Other sites are reporting this.
more pictures of lindsay falling down (prolly drunk) http://www.tmz.com/2011/03/31/lindsay-lohan-on-bended-knee-new-york-city-kneeling-down-street-alcohol-drunk-picture-bar/
Check out TMZ, they have pics of her on her fire crotched derriere. . .AGAIN!
Would someone, anyone, please enlighten me about why is she not being alcohol/drug tested in NY?
The pics of her laying in the gutter are kind of where she’s at in her life and career!
@Ruby Red Lips, in the gutter is where this trash belongs!
Now if only some people would get this.
