HarperCollins is suing Lindsay Lohan for allegedly entering into a book deal with the publishing company and never writing a book, despite collecting a $365,000 advance.
According to a lawsuit filed in New York Supreme Court Thursday, Lohan's company Crossheart Productions and HarperCollins entered a contract in March 2014, in which Lohan promised to write a book for the publishing company.
HarperCollins對Lindsay Lohan提起民事訴訟，主張其與出版公司訂立契約，約定要創作一語文著作做成書籍，其已預先收取36萬5千美元之報酬。
Her book was originally due on May 1, 2015, but Lohan, her company and HarperCollins agreed in 2016 to push back her deadline to March 15, 2017, the lawsuit says. HarperCollins also alleges that it paid Crossheart a $365,000 advance, which was given to Lohan.
約定在2015年5月1日就要完成作品，迄今未完成；但從訴訟中得知Lohan、她的公司與HarperCollins在2016年同意將期間末日延至2017年3月15日。HarperCollins同時宣稱，其已預先給付36萬5千美元與Crossheart，Crossheart並已將該款項交給Lohan。
Despite this, the lawsuit claims Lohan never followed through.
僅管是如此，HarperCollins主張Lohan從未依約履行（意指拿錢不辦事）。

HarperCollins is now seeking the cost of the advance, with interest, as well as the cost of legal fees and "further relief as this Court deems to be just and proper."
HarperCollins於訴訟中主張返還所付價金外加利息，同時要求給付訴訟費用，及該繫屬法院認為公平、適當隻鵝萬的損害賠償（亦即同時請求因不履行契約所受之損害之賠償）。
When contacted by USA TODAY, HarperCollins' attorney Jeffrey Maidenbaum declined to comment. USA TODAY has also reached out to a representative for Lohan for comment.
Lohan met with a literary agent as part of her docu-series on OWN in 2014. In the meeting, Lohan tells the agent that she's considering writing a tell-all book that would incorporate journal entries from her past.
"This is a multi-million-dollar book," the agent says. "There's no doubt in my mind. And now, it's really up to Lindsay to sit down and do some writing and dig up those journals that she has and start putting the pieces together."
