Lindsay Lohan ordered to stop development of ‘virtual closet’ site Vigme

A judge told Lindsay Lohan to shelve — for now — her plot to develop a website that will identify the clothes and garnishing worn by celebs and allow customers to buy versions of their own.

LiLo and her brother, Michael, want to launch a site called Vigme. But Supreme Court Justice Saliann Scarpulla said the siblings are not allowed to promote, publicize, market or seek investors for their site in anticipation of she holds a full hearing Nov. 20 on a claim that the Lohans stole the thought and computer application plans from a business partner, Fima Potik.

Potik questioned for the restraining order, insisting that the Lohans stole his app for Blemished Friend, a website that makes a virtual closet for shoppers. It identifies what clothes and garnishing celebrities are wearing and helps shoppers them buy those items online.

Potik had developed the app and was depending on the “Mean Girls” actress and her brother to market the company and to raise seed equity to get it off the ground.

Instead, he claims in court papers, they shoplifted the concept and the technology and made Vigme.

Lohan’s lawyer, Ravi Batra, argued Friday that an injunction was not appropriate because Potik was never able to develop Blemished Friend to the point where he could launch it beyond making a web page.

Batra said the Lohans were fraudulently induced by Potik — “a rich spoiled little kid who can hire good lawyers” — to sign a contract that tied them to work for Blemished Friend. Batra said Potik broke the contract by not producing a final product — the app to launch the site.

Potik’s lawyer, Kenneth David, insisted his client was the victim of rich celebrities who made a deal and then tried to steal the business after they couldn’t renegotiate the terms to get a larger slice of the pie.

He noted that in seeking investors for Vigme, Michael Lohan described the Lohan app with precisely the same terms that he used to clarify Blemished Friend in earlier pitches to potential investors. He said Vigme is nearly identical in design and layout to Blemished Friend.

Scarpulla rejected Batra’s arguments about the Lohans being tricked into making a deal.

“Every person who doesn’t like a contract … makes a fraudulent inducement claim,” she said in dressing him and the Lohans down. “Your client signed that contract and now you want to get out of it.”

Scarpulla said that if the Lohans want to argue later that Potik broke the contract by not producing the app on time, they could.

Meanwhile, she said, they can’t go ahead with Vigme or “they will be in contempt.”
