Lindsay Lohan threw a Kitson clothing temper tantrum. Lohan was invited (and paid) to show up at Jermaine Dupri’s new watch launchm NuPop at the L.A. Boutique. The watch designer, Pascal Mouawad, in addition to paying the actress to attend offered to give her $500 spending money at the event.

more Lindsay after the hop…

Clearly this allowance was downright miserly in the eyes of Lohan. Sources for PopTarts.com say she began rummaging through the goods and brought with her to the cash register, $15, 000 (GOOD GOD!) worth of clothing. When Mouawad upped her limit to $1, 000, Lohan balked in response.

“Pascal said no, so she went and started talking smack about him to Jermaine Dupri who doesn’t even know her,” said an insider. “He was totally bewildered and couldn’t believe it. Eventually Pascal said she could have $2000 to spend but that was the absolutely limit.” Lohan then tried to bargain with the Kitson staffer that was helping her through the store and insist that the boutique should let her take the remaining items for free. In exchange, she offered to “come in the next day and carry bags out so the paps could take shots…The owner (Fraser Ross) couldn’t be reached so they told Lindsay just to take the $2000 worth and come in the next day and speak with him about the rest,” said our source.

Oh, Tina Fey. We blame you. And you alone for giving this wretched woman a shot with Mean Girls. Oh, how our worlds would be different without the advent of Lohan in Mean Girls.
