LOS ANGELES - Lindsay Lohan won't be attending Sunday's MTV Movie Awards, her publicist confirmed Friday.

The actress, who checked into rehab earlier this week, was one of several celebrity presenters scheduled for the show, which is being broadcast live from the Gibson Amphitheatre in Universal City. Her publicist, Leslie Sloane Zelnik, said in a brief e-mail that she wouldn't be there.

Those still scheduled to present awards include Victoria Beckham, Cameron Diaz, Robin Williams, Jessica Biel, Mandy Moore, Bruce Willis and several others.

Lohan checked into rehab after a wild Memorial Day weekend during which she crashed her Mercedes Benz into a curb, was arrested for suspicion of driving under the influence and was photographed slumped in the passenger seat of a friend's car.
