YOU'LL HAVE TO wait to get to your Michael Jackson updates - Lindsay Lohan is getting sued.

According to the St. Petersburg Times, Tampa chemist Jennifer Sunday says that she should be getting some green from LiLo's tan.

Lohan and Las Vegas businesswoman Lorit Simon launched a tanning mist spray called Sevin Nyne this summer, through Sephora ($35). LiLo says that she and Simon have worked on it for three years.

Sunday says that it's her formula.

We always knew acting and music were just hobbies for Lohan - her true talent was in science.

"We are certainly looking for the profits that are being generated right now from that product," Sunday's attorney, Marcia Cohen, said Monday.

Sure, it's possible that Lohan and Simon put on lab coats and came up with the same formula, but what are the odds? And how much will those odds diminish when you find out that Sunday's company, White Wave International Labs, signed a confidentiality agreement with Simon in January. The Times reports that Simon and Sunday couldn't agree on a price for the tanning mist.

So, Sunday says she got burned.

She's suing Lohan, Simon and Simon's company for breach of contract, theft of trade secrets, civil conspiracy, intentional interference with contractual relations and deceptive and unfair trade practices.

The tanning mist includes goji berry, caramel, Chardonnay extracts and a sugar-coconut base, according to published reports.

Wouldn't Lindsay finish off the Chardonnay long before she mixed it with the goji berry?

Eerie Michael Jackson updates

That "Rest in Peace" thing? That lasted about five minutes.

* As the Scarecrow in "The Wiz," Michael Jackson went on a quest with his pal Dorothy (Diana Ross) to get a brain.

Now London's Daily Mirror reports that Michael will be buried without his.

Medical examiners are still studying Michael's brain to find out what killed him and the Mirror reports that the family doesn't want to wait weeks for the tests to be done before he's buried.

Where he will be buried remains unclear.

* In Touch Weekly reports that a new tell-all book about MJ, "Unmasked: The Final Years of Michael Jackson," by Ian Halperin, will state that Michael was not a pedophile.

"The book claims that Michael was innocent of the molestation charges and a victim of extortion," according to an anonymous insider. "This is what led to the heavy drug abuse and everything that followed."

The book reportedly "proves" that Michael's insurance company forced him to settle (for around $20 million) with then-13-year-old accuser Jordan Chandler in 1994, and that he collapsed when he found out.

So what does the book say Michael was if he wasn't a pedophile?

A closeted gay man.

"Unmasked" alleges that Michael once picked up a construction worker in Las Vegas (which, Tattle must admit, sounds completely ridiculous).

"They then regularly met at a motel," the insider says. "Michael would dress up as a woman. The lover admitted Michael made him sign a confidentiality agreement."

* Life & Style reports that Michael's closest friends (whoever they may be) are stepping forward to contest the guardianship of his children because Michael would never have wanted his father, Joe, to get near his kids.

Michael wanted only his mother, Katherine, to be their guardian. Since Joe lives most of the time in Las Vegas, while Katherine lives in Encino, it didn't appear to be much of an issue, but Michael's pals fear that Joe is trying to worm his way into the children's lives and exploit them.

* The L.A. city attorney's office is investigating how the city can legally press third parties to pick up at least some of the costs for Michael's memorial service.

More than 17,000 fans attended the service on Tuesday, which could end up costing up to $4 million in overtime for police officers and other services.

AEG Live, which owns the Staples Center, hasn't committed any money to cover the city's bill.

* Ka-ching. Former Sony Music CEO Tommy Mottola has said that Michael left dozens of songs, including newer material and leftover works from some of his biggest albums.

Ka-ching. Michael also left behind "The Dome Project," which could be his last complete video.

Ka-ching. There also is more than 100 hours of footage of preparations for Michael's London concerts. Randy Phillips, AEG Live boss, said last week that the company also has enough material for two live albums. *
