A planned appearance by Lindsay Lohan at the Toronto International Film Festival has been cancelled at short notice due to scheduling issues.

The 29-year-old "Mean Girls" star was expected to promote her upcoming thriller "Inconceivable" at the annual event by making an appearance at Set nightclub on Sunday, but the party was subsequently scrapped, reported New York Post.

However, a representative for the film's producers insisted that Lohan was simply too "busy", adding, "I just know she was not able to come (to Canada).
