Thieving LiLo Strikes Again: Report

Lindsay Lohan’s getting burned by alleged theft rumors yet again.
The troubled starlet who was recently involved in a flap over some stolen jewelry that drew the attention of Scotland Yard now stands accused of stealing the formula to her fake tan spray, Sevin Nyne.
A lawsuit filed in a Florida federal court claims Lohan and a partner stole the formula for Sevin Nyne from Floridian chemist Jennifer Sunday, the St. Petersburg Times reports.
Lohan’s partner, Lorit Simon runs a celebrity tanning salon in Las Vegas and was working with Sunday’s company, White Wave International Labs, to create the spray product. Simon and Sunday couldn’t agree on a price point and negotiations stopped.
"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 Marcia Cohen told the Times.
Sunday is suing Lohan, Simon and Simon’s company for pilfering her formula, which included goji berry, caramel, Chardonnay extracts and a sugar-coconut base.
"We are certainly looking for the profits that are being generated right now from that product," Cohen said Monday. "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."
Neither Simon nor Lohan responded to requests for comment. Sevin Nyne debuted at Sephora stores this summer and it retails for $35 a bottle.
