Lindsay Lohan and her fake-bake crisisLohan ... in a devil of a mess? Photograph: Clark Samuels/Rex FeaturesWhy must unfortunate allegations attach themselves to Lindsay Lohan, like tin cans trailing behind a wedding car?Last year, you might recall, we had the mink-jacking - that engrossing saga that saw Lindsay photographed leaving a New York club wearing a mink coat she hadn't been wearing on arrival. Upon seeing the picture in OK! magazine, the girl who had been wearing the coat - it was an heirloom from her grandmother - opted to get her lawyer involved. Who knows what complex negotiation ensued, but the coat was discreetly returned, with only a ripped lining and an overpowering odour of cigarette smoke to show for its mysterious adventures. Then last month it emerged that £25,000 of jewellery had gone missing from an Elle magazine photoshoot of Lindsay, and while there is no suggestion that the ... actress? are we still calling her that? ... was involved, Scotland Yard will wish to speak to her in the course of their ongoing investigation.And now ... well, there's no easy way to put this, but people are saying Lindsay stole the secret formula for her self-tanning range. Sevin Nyne is composed of an idiosyncratic cocktail of 11 spices and unguents - so idiosyncratic, in fact, that a former associate of Lindsay's business partner is suing for alleged breach of contract, theft of trade secrets, civil conspiracy, intentional interference with contractual relations and deceptive and unfair trade practices. Lindsay insists "it's a woman looking for a pay day", but Lost in Showbiz can't help feeling it's much, much bigger than that, and may yet turn out to be the fake-bake industry's Watergate.
