Vittorio Zunino Celotto/WireImage.com; E! NetworksUPDATE: One of my New York spies spotted Lindsay in New York City on Saturday afternoon. Does this mean no VMAs for her tomorrow in Los Angeles? Not exactly.
Stay tuned.

Lindsay Lohan is going back to work.
Sorta. Kinda.
I can exclusively reveal that LiLo will make an appearance on tomorrow's MTV Video Music Awards…
This will be the embattled starlet's first formal return to the spotlight since being released from jail and rehab.
Lohan was spotted yesterday at the Nokia Theatre in downtown L.A. during rehearsals for the big show. Sources tell me that Lohan's appearance will address or at least allude to her headline-making troubles.
When I chatted with first-time show host Chelsea Handler on Thursday, she said she'd love for Lohan to be at the VMAs. "That," the funnylady said, "would make for a lot of material."
No surprise, but Handler's cutting comedy often includes cracks about Lohan and her parents, Dina and Michael.
Will Linds and Handler appear on the VMA stage together? We sure hope so.
A rep for MTV did not immediately comment.
