LOS ANGELES – Surveillance footage shows that a clerk smiled and held the door open for Lindsay Lohan when she walked out of a jewelry store that later accused her of stealing a $2,500 necklace.

“Entertainment Tonight” aired the footage Wednesday, a day before the actress returns to court to announce whether she intends to accept a plea deal in the felony grand theft case that includes a guaranteed jail sentence.

The clerk did not attempt to stop the “Mean Girls” star and did not appear to raise any issues with the actress as she left the store in January. The store later reported the necklace stolen and police obtained a search warrant for the starlet’s home, but the item was turned over to detectives before the search was conducted.

“Entertainment Tonight” has since Monday shown portions of surveillance footage showing Lohan inside Kamofie & Co. A commercial images division of The Associated Press obtained the video and licensed it exclusively to “Entertainment Tonight.”

Lohan has pleaded not guilty to grand theft, which is the most serious charge the actress has faced. She was on probation for a 2007 drunken driving case and had been released from rehab for roughly three weeks when she visited the store near her Venice home.

In other portions of the video, Lohan is seen texting and trying on two other necklaces. She wore the necklace for roughly 25 minutes before leaving Kamofie, according to the video.

The store’s owners announced Wednesday that they will auction the necklace and donate the proceeds to charity after Lohan’s case is resolved.

“We have already publicly released the videotape which speaks for itself and accurately records the incident, and we believe the next step toward achieving closure is to donate the now-famous jewelry to charity,” Sofia and Geoff Kaman said.

Moore to play Palin in film about campaign 

NEW YORK – Julianne Moore is set to play former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin in an upcoming TV film.

HBO Films said Wednesday that Moore will star in the film “Game Change,” which follows John McCain’s 2008 presidential campaign from when he chose Palin as his running mate through their defeat in the general election.

The film is based on the bestselling book of the same name.

No other cast members were announced, and HBO did not say when production on the film might begin.

Moore is a four-time Academy Award nominee. Last year, she starred in the critically acclaimed film “The Kids Are All Right.”

Stone intruder banned 

SANTA MONICA, Calif. – Sharon Stone has been granted a three-year restraining order against a man who police said was found in her home last month.

Stone’s attorney Evan Spiegel confirmed the order was granted Wednesday against Bradly Gooden, who a police detective described in court filings as delusional and possibly schizophrenic.

Gooden remains on an involuntary psychiatric hold. Court records say he told police he believes he was given Stone’s home by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

Stone was not at home when the intruder was at her house and submitted a court declaration stating she was afraid of the 38-year-old man.
