People are still talking about that jewelry Lindsay Lohan is supposed to have stolen. I stay “supposed to have” meaning “did.” Not as in “supposed to have but she’s being framed, damn it!” The $40,000 worth of jewels disappeared during a photoshoot for the cover of British Elle, and it sounds like Lohan did nothing but give everyone at the magazines a headache for a few days. It definitely wasn’t just this once incident and she was otherwise lovely. Or otherwise adequate. She was a spoiled, selfish, rude, self-centered brat the whole time. And I’m only stopping there because I’m tired and out of adjectives. But she was a bitch.

Anyway, according to one of People’s sources, Lohan was never even around the jewelry in question, even though earlier they reported that she was “the last one seen wearing them“:

If Lindsay Lohan fans want a peek at the jewels that went missing at her recent Elle cover shoot, they’ll have to look further than the cover photo.

In the September issue of Elle magazine’s U.K. edition, Lohan isn’t even wearing the valuable designer baubles reported missing. In fact, the actress never wore the jewels, an insider says. Police are still investigating the matter, they confirm to PEOPLE.

Shortly after Lohan, 23, posed for the cover, a complaint was made that an estimated $40,000 worth of jewels – a necklace and some earrings – had gone missing and police were informed on June 8.

Inside the magazine, which hits newsstands in the U.K. on Wednesday, an article describes a chaotic few days with Lohan as journalists try to seal the cover shoot and – unsuccessfully – the interview. The story also follows Lohan whizzing around London nightlife pursued by photographers, and captures a tearful confrontation with off-again, on-again girlfriend Samantha Ronson.

A behind-the-scenes video has been posted the Elle Web site.

The jewels actually seen on the magazine’s cover are a cuff, bangle and ring by Stephen Webster, a bracelet by Bulgari, and Lohan’s own bracelet and bangle.

Scotland Yard confirmed to PEOPLE Monday that they are still investigating and no arrests have been made. They would not say whom they plan to interview but are “in the process of contacting those they wish to speak to as inquiries are continuing.”

Elle has consistently said there is no reason to believe Lohan was “in any way responsible and has no further comment to add.”

Here’s how you translate that last sentence from PR speak to straight-to-the-point English: “We are 99% sure Lindsay stole the jewelry but because no one actually saw her do it or has caught her with it, we want to play it safe.”

So there’s this video of the shoot that’s really funny. It shows Lohan and her enigmatic hair flipping skills, which are supposed to impress us. There’s no mention of the jewelry at any point, but the photographer says something about what a great model she is and how Lindsay always gives 100 percent. Then he pauses and says, “Well… 99 percent.” Priceless. They also mention at the start of the video that she kept the entire photo shoot crew waiting twelve hours. Yes, twelve. Unless she mistook a.m. for p.m., that is insanely self-centered. And she does live a late-night life – maybe to Lindsay it seems perfectly normal for a photo shoot to start at two in the morning.

Nonetheless, the video doesn’t prove a thing, other than Lindsay Lohan can actually be attractive with enough makeup and hair people hovering over her. She has a long history of theft, and I’m still flat-out calling this a guilty until proven innocent situation.
