Walking tabloid
Lindsay Lohan
is being sued for allegedly stealing the formula for her line of spray-on tan products.
The lady of perpetual commotion, who's not content unless she's bustin' some serious column inches, is in hot water again over accusations she stole the receipe for her brown slop.
A lawsuit has been filed in a Tampa, Florida federal court by chemist
Jennifer Sunday
, claiming Lohan, 23, and her business partner
Lorit Simon
copied the formula for her own brand of self-tan called
Sevin Nyne
.
Li-Lo and Simon, a Las Vegas businesswoman who air-brushes pasty celebs for a living, partnered up to create the self-tanning wonder about three years ago, and claim credit for it's concoction.
But Sunday's lawyer,
Marcia Cohen
, has a different take on the matter and says her client created the ingredients for the self-tanner, according to the
St. Petersburg Times
.
"We are certainly looking for the profits that are being generated right now from that product," Cohen said.
"If Ms. Lohan and Ms. Simon and their companies and their shareholders are profiting from the theft of my client's formula and are profiting from that product, my client is entitled to those proceeds."
Trade secrets...
Day-glo Li-lo and her partner are reportedly being sued by Sunday for breach of contract, theft of trade secrets, civil conspiracy, intentional interference with contractual relations and deceptive and unfair trade practices.
Sunday alleges that Simon and her company, White Wave International Labs, were in negotiations when Li-Lo and Simon partnered, and now Lohan is taking credit for the product's development.
"The next thing we know, Lorit Simon and Lindsay Lohan are partnering and Ms. Lohan is taking credit for developing this formula, which she indeed had no role in," Sunday's lawyer told the newspaper.
Sunless secret...
The fake-tanning slop, which retails for US$35, is said to be made from a "one of its kind" mixture of ingredients, including goji berries, caramel, Chardonnay extracts, and a sugar-coconut base - along with a special somethin' somethin' that Li-Lo proudly proclaims as her "sunless secret."
Lohan's rep declined to comment on the latest stink surronding her troubled client. The starlet, however, remained true to form and took to her Twitter page to answer the allegations.
Twitter Tweet Twit
"
No formula was stolen for Sevin Nyne
," she Tweeted. "
It's a woman looking for a payday. That's it!
"
Expect it isn't. There's more.
The fiery redhead also blames gossip queen
Perez Hilton
for his shameless gum-flapping and spreading "false" rumours about her.
Taking a swipe at Hilton, she added: "Leave it to
Perez Hilton
to put out FALSE information."
And in a final parting shot, she said Hilton had betrayed the gay community after he labelled rapper Will.I.Am a "f****t" last month.
"Thought he'd of learned his lesson after slamming the entire gay community. Karma must be s***. He should look in the mirror," sneered Li-Lo.
In other shocking Li-Lo news...
Us Weekly
reports that the work-shy lass turned down a role in box office megahit
, The Hangover
.
Word is Li-Lo was offered the role of stripper Jade (a role which eventually went to
Heather Graham
), but turned it down - because she felt the script had "
no potential
". Oh, the irony...
Hangover
eventually went on to make over US$206 million at the box office, while Li-Lo's carcass of a career continues to go down the tubes.
Good call.
Meanwhile, Li-Lo's part-time lover
Samantha Ronson
has taken to Twitter to spill some bile of her own.
What's Ronson's beef? She's fed up of tour guides cracking jokes at her expense as they cart tourists past her home.
"Just sitting at home and heard a 'star tour' bus go by my house and insult me over a loud speaker - think i'll put nails out tomorrow," she
"Best part - they said that because i'm so talentless (my brother Mark Ronson) had to buy me my house... hmmm - it's a rental - dips**t."
And when one darling devotee fired back and suggested that such a thing would never happen in London, she replied: "Which is why i plan on moving." Batten down the hatches, cockneys...
Talking of spraying...
Guess who's been airbrushed beyond recognition and now lives in a Barbie-like world...all in the name of peddling her sartorial stuff?
And the
K-fatter-line
Snitches tell us on the QT that
Brit Brit
is none too pleased about her former hubby
Kevin Federline'
s expanding waistline.
The miming marvel has reportedly taken to calling him “fat housewife” and “K-fatter-line.”
Former dancer K-Fed's been bustin' his waistline for a wee while, and swapped his
for
Well, Brit Brit's had enough.
“Britney Spears has put ex-hubby Kevin Federline on a diet because he’s gorged on so much fatty food, he’s gained a whopping 85 pounds,” the snitch says.

"Don't expect to see any new photos of this paparazzi favorite this week. She will be in hiding for several days and is not expected to give a public statement with the reason. While some may report that she is having cosmetic surgery - or spending several days holed up with her acting co-star - the real reason is much more down-to-earth. She got a bad sunburn this past weekend, and no amount of makeup can make her look photo-friendly. She will emerge from hiding when she no longer looks like a lobster in drag."
Take it on the chin
Celebrity chef
Gordon Ramsay
says he looks like something from a horror movie, and is a wee bit self-conscious about his face.
"I’ve always had a face like
," he recently said. "But more and more people were commenting on my chin.
"A make-up artist actually said to me, 'Did you have an accident when you were little? Did you fly through the windscreen with no seat belt on?' I mean f***!’
So he enlisted the help of buddy
Simon Cowell
, who suggsted he get a jab here and there.
"I had lunch with him and he leaned over and started prodding my chin, saying, 'Mate you’ve got to do something about this'," he said.
"I was like, “f*** off!" I was getting a complex for the first time in my life, so I did it. Botox. A jab here and one there."
