Gawker
Further details have emerged about that $12,000 fur coat that Lindsay Lohan may have pilfered (pictured). The coat owner is kindly asking Lohan for six figures in pain and suffering. Masha Markova, perhaps a descendant of the noble line of Russian fur traders, claims that the drug-splattered actress stole the blond mink coat while they were both at a party at fancypants clurrb 1Oak. When Markova decided to leave the club, she saw that her coat, which was given to her by her grandmother, had gone missing. A couple of weeks later, she saw a photo in OK! magazine, taken the night of the incident, of Lohan wearing the exact same tan-ish animal pelt. Coincidence? Markova thought not!
Of course she got her lawyer involved ("I don't know what her motivation was. Maybe it was rare to find a blond mink that matched her hair," he said graciously), and the coat was returned under mysterious circumstances. Was Lohan caught red handed (read: covered in animal blood)? She was wearing a different black coat earlier that fateful night. Intrigue! Lohan has not admitted to thievery, and Markova is seeking punitive damages in "the six figure range," because I guess the emotional anguish of losing one's fur coat for a few days is just as taxing as sexual harassment or wrongful termination or something. Markova's lawyer says: "If my client had gotten an apology (and the coat) a day later, she would have rolled her eyes and said, 'Party girl.' But it wasn't that way." Sigh. Didn't we almost have it all. The 1Oak nightclub, for what it's worth, says "Clearly, this girl is looking for publicity. She misplaced her coat. 1Oak returned it. End of story." Are they telling the truth? Are they just being loyal to the famous actress? A thickened, mysterious plot.

Of course Lindsay stole the coat. She wanted her hair and skin to blend into a jacket and that fur is just the right shade.
But was in the Communal Coat Bin!
She is not wearing my Mommy's coat. She is wearing my mommy.
Of mink and women.
@Un Chien Andalou: !!!
@dummyfakeroller: According to Markova's lawyer, that's why she did it!
She should check the pockets. Lindsay's pretty forgetful these days, and she might have left behind a little "surprise" valued in the six-figure range.
More importantly, WTF is she wearing under the coat?
oh my god that's my missing purse she's carrying on that photo, the bitch!
In response to a query from police officers about the coke in the coat pocket, LiLo responded: "It's not my coat. I'm wearing it for a friend."
Theft is bad, but who will prosecute those who buy ugly shit, and then make us look at them in the pages of Perez?
well obviously the girl didn't "misplace" it. unless she misplaced it directly onto lindsay's shoulders.
also ms lohan has a serious moustache in this picture
I don't speak the language, so I'm allowed to believe that Markova means potato in Russian... nyet?
I cannot read this post because I CANNOT STOP LOOKING at her skin. Is that even skin anymore? What is that? It's a color that does not exist in nature. Lay off the fucking spray tans for a few hundred years, Jesus Christ. You can take the girl out of Long Island, etc.
Heck, at least we know now that she was telling the truth about the "they were not my pants" line the night she got busted?
@Unfun: That's not fake tanning--they're grafting old Louis Vuitton luggage directly onto her face.
Even with klepto-coke-head kids like this, Dina is still one of the best mothers on LI.
The lawyer continued, "But we'll settle for an apology. And $75,000. But the apology is what matters."
bitch totes stole the coat, what does she care? is she like, going to get in trouble or something? doubtful, and she knows it.
@blogissuchanuglyword: Tan-stache
Lindsay thought the coat was a stray, had it neutered, took it clubbing, realized it just couldn't "hang" with her and brought it back to where she found it. The End.
@Unfun: "Alright, fine. Forget the apology, and make it an even $20,000 plus legal fees. $10,000? Fuck, this is what I went to law school for?"
Eh. Rich, crazy Russian women are better when they're almost getting crushed by their own chandeliers.
Jeez, did that happen this year? I need to make some changes in my life.
Lindsay totally stole that girl's coat. Does no one remember that story from last year, when that other poor girl swore up and down that Linds stole all her clothes, as well? This is clearly a thing she does. OMG, add in Winona Ryder, and we've got a "Stealing Starlets" trend piece!
I got a little coke in my pocket costa' ching-a-ling-a-ling
Wants to march up my nose baby, a-give me a ring
But each time I do, I get the same old thing
Always no blow-ee no snort-ee until I get a some more bling
My dealer my baby, don't put my blow upon no shelf
She said you don't get no free lines, I'll keep it all to myself
If this gal is, as it appears, a wealthy and flashy Russian, chances are LiLo better settle up fast... lest an unfortunate accident befall her ass.
You do not want to cross those people.
Better pay up.
I don't buy this whole "Russian Fur Trading Family" thing at all. One night Miss Lohan might get a mysterious invite to a party down on the waterfront in Brighton Beach
I feel as though LiLo isn't classy enough to know the coat was so pricy/fancy/etc.
I think she is only good at knowing something is worth 12grand when it is sitting in a glass case @ Bergdorf's with a tag that reads 12,000.00
Martina Markaoakdjfvovovich = Hazel, LiLo=Little J, and coat = red custom made Valentino.
Life imitates art!
over/under on how many times this chick has stolen a coat for the sheer fun of it? I'm setting the bar at 53 times.
Didn't she steal some other girl's clothes a couple of years ago? Bitch is crazy.
I don't know, if someone stole my coat from a club I'd be pretty pissed off also. It's just wrong. Wearing it around for a few weeks knowing you've stolen it is also wrong. This sounds like blame the victim. If she didn't hire a lawyer she would not have gotten the coat back, and why should LiLo pay the cost of that?
In this pic LiLo is starting to look like lion/cat lady. Scary.
looking at that picture.....all I can think is that she's going to make an awesome cougar in a couple of years.
skanky-hot
@Artful Slinger:
You know, we all laughed, hard, at the whole "these aren't my pants" defense. But now? Little Lindsay might have just been telling the truth.....
We should be looking for the person she stole the pants from! Framing poor Linds like that!
Well, Lindsay is just following the traditional hero development myth as set out by Joseph Cambell.
1) get famous with your plump boobs and respectable acting
2) lose the boobs
3) get implants
4) crisp up your skin in a salamander before serving
5) become gay for some fucking reason
6) steal a fur coat
7) defeat the snake encircling the world
I need a distinction here, was it her grandmother's coat, or just given to her by her g'ma, because honestly it looks like a bedraggled skein of goat fur.
@Pope John Peeps II: I'll kill you for bringing me the kind of happiness that never comes at 3:28 PM on a weekday afternoon. Now you've spoiled all my future Joseph Campbell reference-less afternoons. Dammit!
I was at that party too. Has anyone seen my Dalmatian puppy?
I'm calling it: Markova is going to walk away from this with a warehouse of unsold "Herbie Fully Loaded" DVDs and some autographed nudes...
"Drug-splattered actress"? I thought we agreed on "Freckled boozehound."
@Pope John Peeps II: Which do you prefer: The Power Of Minks or
The LiLo With 1000 Excuses?
@Sara Benincasa: And I forgot to add, her mother is the QUEEN OF HELL. That's something, right there!
MYTHOLOGY-EY!
@Pope John Peeps II: If respectable means godawful, I could support your and theory.
@Priam: doh, Dr. Campbell's*
@Spirit Fingers: It's the bedraggled skank wearing it that makes it appear so.
@BalknChain: Flawless
@jackvinyl: Phonetically, "markovka" (морковка) means "carrot." Does that count?
@valarmorghulis: aw, thanks, it screamed for a Georgia Satellites treatment
@BalknChain: Aha, Georgia Satellites Rules.
@BalknChain: arg.
@Bell County: ;)
Totally not fair. She only stole the coat as revenge for Masha stealing all of her pants.
I just love this story, but must ask:
Who on Earth puts a $12,000 mink in a "coat bin"?
And who is wearing mid-length mink in late April in NY?
@blogissuchanuglyword: if lindsay was poor and of color she would be under the jail for this
@Bell County: jason and the scorchers ...
@BalknChain: What doesn't?
here's a facebook group she made about herself. she's the blonde.
[www.facebook.com]
When asked what went on in her her head
When she stole a fur coat, LiLo said,
"PETA'd swallow me whole
If I owned a mink stole —
So I wore a mink stolen instead!"
i hope peta douses both of their annoying asses in red paint.
FYI, in case anyone cares:
The dead minks have voted and they want their old owner back.
@MisterHippity: Hippitytastic.
@MisterHippity: That is a truly masterful turn of phrase. Gold fucking star.
@MisterHippity: nice
