Lindsay Lohan arrived to record a TV interview on Tuesday afternoon in New York - the day after skipping a court hearing in Los Angeles.
The actress smiled for the cameras as she turned up to the Ed Sullivan Theater to tape a sit-down chat with David Letterman.
Lohan, 26, was wearing a black and white trouser suit - but her lawsuit against her seem far from her mind.
Lilo had been ordered to appear at a deposition hearing in Los Angeles as part of her ongoing court battle with photographer Grigor Balyan, who is suing Lindsay and her assistant.

claims he ended up in hospital after he was hit by the Liz & Dick
star's assistant, when she was driving the actress' car outside a
nightclub in 2010.According to TMZ, Lindsay's attorney Julia Azrael tried to let Grigor's lawyer's know last week she hadn't been able to get in touch with her client, but the deposition wasn't rescheduled.
Just hours after Monday's hearing, Lindsay was spotted turning up to a sushi restaurant in the Big Apple.
The photographer's lawyers are now expected to file papers asking for a judge to force the 26-year-old star to show up to the next meeting.

If she fails to comply, the judge could issue a judgement against her and order Lindsay to pay compensation.In February, Ms. Azrael spoke out to slam her famous client for failing to keep in contact and arrange a date for the deposition.
Lindsay has just weeks to arrange her personal matters before she has to enrol into a residential rehab programme for 90 days, under the terms of a plea deal she reached recently over a car crash last June.
