Lindsay Lohan is a celebrity who is always in the news and courts, whether it’s her drug addiction or her family disputes more than her work. The latest adventure by this naughty blonde is a diabolical, fraudulent plan to defraud an L.A. boutique out of thousands of dollars … according to a lawsuit that was filed yesterday

A boutique that sells expensive clothes, jewelry, and accessories — claims Lindsay shopped at the store between November, 2009 and February, 2010. 

According to the suit, Lindsay racked up a bill of $17,060.83 and convinced the owners her business manager would pay the bill.  But much to the chagrin of the owners, Lindsay’s business manager paid a grand total of $180. 

According the suit Lindsay never meant to pay the bill through her manager.

And there’s this — the suit claims the boutique owners relied on Lindsay’s “well known status as a movie actress with substantial income.”  Wrong on both counts.

The owners say Lindsay committed premeditated fraud and are seeking the balance — $16,880.63 — plus interest and punitive damages.

Yes, we see the 20 cent differential — but that’s the way it appears in the lawsuit. Apparently, the shop is giving LiLo a credit.

No comment from Lindsay’s camp.
