The moment of truth: The image of Lindsay Lohan putting on the necklace she was accused of stealing which aired last night on Entertainment Tonight
Things appear to be looking worse and worse for Lindsay Lohan as US showbiz news show Entertainment Tonight aired yet more incriminating footage of the actress reportedly stealing a $2,500 necklace.
The brief clip, which was the second part of a three night segment shows Lindsay, 24, inside the store and the moment she actually tried the necklace on.
The star then puts her own necklace on over the top and wanders around the shop in a move that Entertainment Tonight's expert Marcia Clark, a former deputy district attorney, describes as behaviour of 'a typical shoplifter.'

Clark also says she believes the video puts Lindsay 'in very hot water,' after analysing the tape on behalf of the TV show.
Lohan displays erratic behaviour after putting the necklace on, pacing up and down, touching the necklace on her chest and looking at other items as she chats to her friend and the store clerk.
The actress is said to be considering suing the jewellery store where she allegedly stole the $2,500 gold and diamond necklace.
Her mother Dina has revealed they are considering a lawsuit against the shop in Venice, Los Angeles, after the owners reportedly sold the surveillance footage of the incident for a reputed figure of more than $35,000.
It comes after the Kamofie & Co.said its business had been damaged by the media attention surrounding the alleged necklace theft by 24-year-old Lohan.

Dina told RadarOnline: 'Once again, celebrities are faced with the possibilities of their normal daily activity being filmed and sold without their knowledge and their consent, and our family is looking into formal legal action.'
Her lawyer Stephanie Ovadia told the website that the Lohan family had contacted her and she is now investigating the situation.
She said: 'We are looking into the unauthorised use of an image, invasion of privacy, unjust enrichment, and other possible legal avenues.'
Lindsay is next due to appear in court over the case on Thursday.
Prosecutors claim she walked out of the store on January 22 and walked out wearing the necklace without paying.
But the case could now be harmed by the sale of the CCTV evidence, which was aired on U.S. channel Entertainment Tonight on Monday evening.

In the video footage Lindsay is seen texting and trying on multiple pieces of jewellery in front of a clerk in the Southern California store.
Snippets of the footage taken were aired on Entertainment Tonight after the show obtained nearly 45 minutes of footage from the store's four security cameras, which captured the actress smiling as she entered the shop.
Lohan returns to court on Thursday, when her lawyer will tell a judge whether the Mean Girls actress will accept a plea deal in the felony grand theft case that guarantees a jail sentence.
The video was sold by a representative of Kamofie to a commercial images unit of The Associated Press, which then licensed it exclusively to Entertainment Tonight.
Christopher Spencer, a crisis management expert who represents the jewellery store, explained in a statement the reason the footage was sold.
'Most important, we were upset with the various mischaracterisations we were seeing and hearing about the video and its contents, and we felt the video should be allowed to speak for itself,' Mr Spencer's statement read.

'There were also many media inquiries asking for release of the video, which is not any sort of secret evidence. The bottom line is we felt there was far too much speculation about the video recording, and that it was right for the public to be able to see the video itself.'
A website, necklacevideo.com, has been registered and may be used to stream the video online at a later date.
The footage's release could impact Lohan's criminal case, which is the most serious charge the troubled actress has faced.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Keith Schwartz has promised to send Lohan to jail if she accepts a plea deal to end the case early.
The surveillance video almost certainly would have been aired at a preliminary hearing if Lohan decided to fight the case.
'With regard to the question of Lindsay Lohan's guilt or innocence, we repeat that Kamofie and Company never gave permission to Ms Lohan to remove the necklace from the store,' Mr Spencer said in his statement. 'The rest is up to the jury.'
