Lohan is a no show as Pitbull's VMA guest

Lindsay Lohan snubbed rapper Pitbull's invite to join him at the MTV Video Music Awards.

The actress issued legal proceedings against the hitmaker after claiming he defamed her in the lyrics of his number one hit Give Me Everything, prompting Pitbull to insist he never meant to hurt the Mean Girls star in a video posted on his website.

And to prove he wasn't out to poke fun at Lohan, he invited her to attend the VMAs with him.

But it was clear she wasn't going to take him up on his offer and he instead showed up to the event on Sunday (28Aug11) with actress Natalie Martinez.

Asked if he was bothered by the snub, Pitbull said, "As far as the whole Lindsay Lohan thing... it's a positive record, it was a positive message. I'm in no way shape or form here to degrade, defamate (sic) or hurt. I'm only here to help."
