Sounds like Lindsay Lohan's New Year has gotten off on the wrong foot.
While celebrating 2010 on the island of St. Barth's, the 23 year-old star discovered that she was ripped off by her longtime best friend and sidekick Patrick "Pootie" Aufdenkamp.
See how Lindsay's face has changed over the years
A friend close to Lohan tells UsMagazine.com, "Patrick stole Lindsay's sketches for her new 6126 clothing line." WWD reported Dec. 30 that Lohan's 6126 leggings line would be expanded to become a full clothing collection for fall 2010; her role as artistic advisor for fashion house Emanuel Ungaro, despite a rocky start, is also ongoing.

Lohan tells UsMagazine.com that Aufdenkamp has been her "best friend" since she was 16. He has frequently been photographed with the actress, and was present at many meetings related to her new fashion line.
"He is now running off trying to do his own line," a Lohan pal says incredulously, "And telling people he's going to fashion market week in NYC on February 18 to debut his line."
Look back on Lindsay's life so far
Adds the Lohan source, "It's horrible. He was her best friend. He has always used her, and she's been warned to never trust him. Lindsay is a good friend and likes to see the good in people. She didn't want to believe how bad Patrick's energy was, and how false his friendship has always been with her."
Lohan herself spoke to UsMagazine.com exclusively about the sad incident. "I should've known better," she said, noting that the friendship with "Pootie" has ended. "But new year for me and a new beginning! Health, happiness, success and love!"

Tell Us What You Think
16Did he also steal her sense of style? In that case, he was a thief a long time ago! lol This girl needs to get a clue and some help to realize she is not the queen of the world anymore and she needs to change her ways or change her profession.
This guy supposedly stole sketches from her "clothing line"? From what I've heard about her designs, he might have done the world a favor - by making sure nobody sees them.
La vida de Lindsay parece que está marcada por la degradación personal, parece no tener sentido ni camino su vida. www.imagenesfamosos
SHAME ON PATRICK!! After this has been over the internet no one will touch that freak !!! EVEN A COMPANY THAT DOES SHOWS WHAT TYPE OF PEOPLE THEY ARE!!! THINK .. They know he has stolen sketches.. GET THE POLICE INVOLVED..
X17 is reporting that "insiders" say the sketches were his design to begin with. He's planning to tell all when he arrives in the States.So who's doing the stealing Lindsay?
Didn't she steal a fur coat from some girls closet at a party a few years ago? Who is she to complain about someone stealing her stuff then?!
If we all know who stole them......then why can she just tell buyers what the designs were and tell the cops if this crook comes calling!?!?....plan 2 go with the lady bug design as was already suggested....there.now you can go for a swim Linds...
It's hard to believe what she is claiming coming from her, and if so, she has some fault to bear because she has a history of hanging out with bad people. No sympathy here.
So someone stole her plans for leggings with hearts and butterflies on them!! Think of how much work she must have put into them!! Let me help you out Lindsey, try ladybugs and mice! There you go! A whole new line!!
I doubt that anyone would steal her sketch ideas. She would have thrown a big stink. She is just trying to justify her failures. Besides, really, leggings are so difficult to design, ho hum.
What happened to the drama-free new year? This girl's nuts. Her biggest addiction is drama.
DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING ! I DO NOT! i agree..this smells funny
He stole her DESIGNS?!? Maybe it was to keep her from having them made and making a fool of herself, yet again. SHe should look at this as a blessing.
ARE YOU KIDDIN' SHE HAS INSURANCE ! COME-ON NOW DO YOU REALLY BELIEVE ALL OF THIS EVERYONE...I DON'T,,,AND NEITHER SHOULD YOU ALL
Yeah, sure Lindsay,you are so full of talent that people want to steal you design ideas!Haha
What could she possibly have that anyone would want to steal besides some cr@ppy fake tan in a bottle, peroxide and cigarettes?
