Apparently with all that free time on her hands of late, Lindsay Lohan has secretly become an ace chemist.

Who knew?

Well, if you believe what you read in the court papers, a Florida lab whiz did. She's suing Ms. Mean Girl (and her business partner) for allegedly swining his secret formula of 11 herbs and spices for her Sevin Nyne line of spray-tanning products.

Jennifer Sunday is making a federal case of it, filing a lawsuit U.S. District Court in Tampa accusing Lohan and Las Vegas-based entrepreneur Lorit Simon of breach of contract, theft of trade secrets, civil conspiracy, intentional interference with contractual relations and deceptive and unfair trade practices. And she wants some serious payback.

Sunday says she had a deal with Simon's company for a tan line but balked at Simon and Lohan's request to buy the formula. Sunday says she was shocked—shocked!—to discover that her "sunless secret" ingredients were purloined for the $35 Lohan-branded Sevin Nyne (named after the actress' lucky numbers), which just hit store shelves.

"It was initially envisionsed [Sunday] would manufacture the product and ship out the spray to Ms. Simons company," plainfiff attorne Marcia Cohen tells E! News. "Now we see Ms. Lohan taking credit for having created Ms. Sunday's formula and product."

Talk about a cruddy birthday present. Lohan turned 23 five days ago. There was no immediate comment on the suit from her camp.
