Lindsay Lohan killed it guest hosting on Chelsea Lately but Breaking Celebrity News has exclusively learned that the show almost didn’t go on when Lindsay started insisting on outrageous demands.

Just days out of rehab, the 27-year-old was getting ready to tape Chelsea Handler’s hit E! show when she threw a tantrum right before the cameras were set to start rolling.

“Lindsay called The Canyons director Paul Schrader from the set and insisted that she could not go on unless James Deen was in the audience to support her,” a source close to her told Breaking Celebrity News.

Her request is even more unusual because there is no love lost between Lindsay and the [expletive] star.

“She hated James,” the source said. “But she wanted him there, so he was called.”

Despite her last minute request, the source said he shot Lindsay down. “James flatly refused, saying he was too busy!”

The show did go on an Lindsay was on her A-game, nailing jokes about Harry Styles, Samantha Ronson and even Kristen Stewart.
