Holy Moly was the first to break the story (see yesterday’s Quickies), but it’s been confirmed today that Lindsay Lohan is currently under investigation by Scotland Yard in connection with the disappearance of $400,000 worth of diamond jewelry from the set of a Elle magazine photoshoot. People Magazine says

[Lindsay was] the last one seen wearing… the Dior jewels.

Under investigation by Scotland Yard, the disappearance of a set of diamond earrings and a necklace was reported on June 8. The baubles were on loan for a June 6 magazine shoot.

“Everyone from the shoot is being questioned,” Lohan’s rep [says]. “Hair, make up, stylist … even photographers. Lindsay hopes they find the jewels. She is happy to cooperate.”

A police spokeswoman [says], “Westminster Police are investigating an allegation of theft of jewelry from studios in Brewery Road. Inquiries are continuing and no arrests have been made.”

A spokeswoman for Elle U.K. released a statement [saying],”Elle has no reason to believe that Lindsay Lohan was in any way responsible and has no further comment to make.”

Oh, come on. Next to penis, stealing is what Lindsay Lohan does best. Like that time she stole a fur coat from a night club. Or that other time she stole clothes from one of her friends. And that time she shanghaied a bunch of designer duds from the set of an Elle magazine photoshoot in 2007. The only way it’d be more obvious that it was Lindsay Lohan is if she started wearing a striped jumpsuit and carrying a canvas sack with dollar signs on the back.

You probably remember that Scotland Yard got a hold of that video of Amy Winehouse washing down a snootfull of ecstasy and blow with a couple of hits off the crack pipe all the way back in January of this year. CPS finally arrested her on suspicion of possessing Class A drugs last week, but unexpectedly let her go yesterday without any legal ramifications whatsoever. Viva la justice! According to London’s The Sun

Yesterday CPS spokesman Russell Hayes said: “The footage did not establish whether the substances were illegal drugs and, in the absence of any forensic opportunity or reliable evidence from any witness, we concluded we could not establish to the high proof required in a criminal court that they were controlled drugs.”

Well, all I know is R. Kelly should really see about having his trial moved to London instead of the States. The only way Scotland Yard could be any more impotent is if it had prostate the size of a grapefruit and trust issues with its wife.
