Lindsay Lohan threatens The Smoking Gun

Or her lawyers do anyway.

So you know how she lost her diary a little while ago and got it back with a few pages missing? Well, I think it's safe to guess those pages contain potential ammunition for gossip columns and blogs and that its release would be something of a disaster for Lindsay, because she has employed the Los Angeles power law firm, Lavely & Singer to prevent her secrets from going public.

The Smoking Gun posted the letter it received from Lindsay's lawyers on its website and had this to say about it:

We're not sure of the accuracy of the claims in the below legal threat letter--which does not use Lohan's name--but we do know that a recent Lavely & Singer missive sent TSG's way is filled with blatant lies and misstatements. We've repeatedly tried to discuss these with author/name partner Martin Singer, but the braying litigator has ducked us for three weeks.

God bless those truth soldiers at The Smoking Gun.
