I’ve lost count of how many times Lindsay Lohan has been sued for either not paying her bills or stealing stuff, today we have another lawsuit against Lohan.
Tough as Nails boutique in Los Angeles filed a lawsuit today against Lohan accusing her of not paying them a bill costing $16,880. They say that Lohan shopped in the store between November 2009 and February 2010 and racked up a bill of $17,060 but she somehow managed to convince them that her manager would pay the bill.
Her manager did pay the bill but only $180 of it, now the owners of the store they believe Lohan had no intention of getting her manager to pay the entire balance. They also say that they relied on her “well known status as a movie actress with substantial income.”
What the hell? If this happened back in 2004 then I would have sympathy for the store but Lohan had been accused of stealing crap a bunch of times before this happened so why on earth would they give her store credit?
Lindsay Lohan must keep her legal team in business with all these lawsuits they have to deal with every month.

Former Death Row Records kingpin Marion “Suge” Knight was arrested early this morning after allegedly pulling a pistol during a robbery in South Los Angeles.
Suge, 45, was pulled over around 12:30 am in his white Escalade and shuffled downtown. He was also charged with driving on a suspended license. He has been released on a $65,000 bond.
Knight was once the head of Death Row Records, the West Coast powerhouse rap label that featured artists such as Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg and Tupac Shakur. Tupac’s death, Suge’s implication in the murder of The Notorious B.I.G. and some pretty serious in-fighting all lead to the label’s decline. Knight sold his share of the company after filing bankruptcy in 2006.
This arrest is nothing new to Suge Knight, who was arrested in 1992 for assault and was given seven years probation, he violated that probation in 1997 and was sentenced to nine years, of which he served four. In 2003 he was sent back to jail for punching a parking lot attendant. Knight was also arrested in August 2008 on drug and assault charges stemming from an incident with his girlfriend, but he was later cleared of all related charges. In February 2009, Suge was seriously beaten (read: got his ass kicked) at an NBA All-Star game by a dude claiming to be the business manager of Akon. In March Akon’s producer Noel “Detail” Fisher was robbed as rumored retribution. Suge Knight was implicated in the robbery, but was never charged.

The culprit caught on security videos in both Lindsay Lohan and Audrina Patridge‘s home burglaries has been arrested, Los Angeles police announced.
Nicholas Prugo, 18, was arrested Thursday morning in connection with the two break-ins. He was charged with felony burglary and is being held on $20,000 bail.
Lohan’s mother Dina said, “Yes, we have found [him], God is good.”
Lohan’s Hollywood Hills home was burglarized last month by a young man and woman in which a safe was ripped out of the wall, and bags, shoes and jewelry were stolen.
In February, the apparent same pair broke into Patridge’s Los Angeles home and was caught on tape making off with several bags of her possessions.
So far, police have only confirmed the arrest of Prugo. “As of now we just have this one person in custody, and the investigation is ongoing,” says LAPD spokeswoman Karen Rayner.
The break-ins were among a rash of recent starlet burglaries in the past year, all within several miles of each other. Paris Hilton, Hayden Panettiere and Rachel Bilson have also been victimized, but Prugo was not arrested in those cases.
There’s now a second suspect, Law enforcement sources say they believe the woman in the surveillance video is Rachel Lee, who they think helped Nicholas Prugo burglarize Lohan and Patridge’s L.A. homes.
A look at Prugo’s Facebook page, you’ll see a photo of Rachel Lee (see inset above) — she’s a dead ringer for the person caught on Lindsay and Audrina’s surveillance cams.

Orlando Bloom‘s home was robbed last night according to TMZ.
Apparently his house which is located in the Hollywood Hills, Los Angeles, had over $500,000 worth of jewelry – all of which was taken, including two “very expensive watches.”
The burglar got through a window somewhere in the house, speaking of the house – the cops have fingerprinted and photographed the whole house.
While the Pirates Of The Caribbean actor was in New York City at the time, law enforcement says that they are not treating it like a “typical burglary.”
I wonder if any of the jewelry was Miranda Kerr‘s and also wonder if it was an inside job.
A broken O.J. Simpson was sentenced Friday to as much as 15 years in prison for a hotel armed robbery after a judge rejected his apology and said, “It was much more than stupidity.”
The 61-year-old football Hall of Famer stood shackled and stone-faced when Judge Jackie Glass quickly rattled off his punishment soon after he made a rambling, five-minute plea for leniency, choking back tears as he told her: “I didn’t want to steal anything from anyone. … I’m sorry, sorry.”
Simpson said he was simply trying to retrieve sports memorabilia and other mementos, including his first wife’s wedding ring, from two dealers when he stormed a Las Vegas hotel room on Sept. 13, 2007.
But the judge emphasized that it was a violent confrontation in which at least one gun was drawn, and she said someone could have been killed. She said the evidence was overwhelming, with the planning, the confrontation itself and the aftermath all recorded on audio or videotape.
Glass, a no-nonsense judge known for her tough sentences, imposed such a complex series of consecutive and concurrent sentences that even many attorneys watching the case were confused as to how much time Simpson got.
Outside court, Goldman’s father, Fred Goldman, and sister, Kim, said they were delighted with the sentence.
“We are thrilled, and it’s a bittersweet moment. It was satisfying seeing him in shackles like he belongs.”
The Goldman’s took a measure of credit for Simpson’s fate, saying their relentless pursuit of his assets to satisfy a $33.5 million wrongful-death judgment “pushed him over the edge” and led him to commit the robbery to recover some of his sports memorabilia.
Two housekeepers working for David and Victoria Beckham have been arrested on suspicion of theft from the celebrity couple’s home.
Britian’s the Telegraph is reporting that two housekeepers have been arrested for stealing several items from Posh and Beck’s home in Hertfordshire, England, and for trying to sell them on an internet auction site.
Victoria’s parents reportedly contacted police after they recognized some of the items for sale. They paid a trip to the house and discovered the same things missing.
“They were most personal and sentimental items collected by Victoria and David during their time abroad,” a source told the Telegraph. “Some of the things were given to them as presents and are unique because they were specially made for them. They include mostly small but expensive trinkets and some pieces on decorative display.”
The stolen property was reportedly being offered on the internet to the highest bidder. The housekeepers, a couple in their 50s, were arrested on Friday. David and Victoria were not at home at the time. The super-couple has been living in L.A. while David plays for the L.A. Galaxy. The Beckhams bought their England home in 1999 for 2.5 million British Pounds. Also known as “Beckingham Palace,” the couple has spent millions making it their dream home.
While it’s no secret that the paparazzi go to great lengths to get photos of Hollywood stars, Ashley Tisdale wants the world to know that one actually broke into her house hoping to snap some photos.
“They broke in, they came into my home before,” the ‘High School Musical’ starlet said. Tisdale says the agencies and photographers “don’t want middle America to know this is what they do to try and get pictures.”
Tisdale says the photographer “broke in an entry and went into the hall and followed my stylist.” After a quick phone call, “The police were there and they [told me], ‘you could say it’s a robbery.’”
She goes on to say that she hasn’t seen that specific photographer again, but warns that “they go to an extreme for pictures.”
