Hell hath no fury like a Playmate scorned -- especially when the Playmate claims she's been falsely accused of stealing money from kids.
2009 Playmate of the Year Ida Ljungqvist has filed legal papers shredding Katrina Kantner -- the woman suing Ida claims teamed up with her soon-to-be ex husband, Doug Kantner, allegedly in a scheme to steal child support from her kids.
Not only does Ida claim Katrina's suit is a "transparent attempt to extort additional monies out of Doug" -- the Playmate says the false allegations have "disrupted and diminished Ljungqvist's long term ability to raise funds for ... charities and philanthropic associations."
Bottom line -- Ida says she being attacked because of her high-profile celebrity status.

We've been calling the White House for the last day, trying to get a reaction from the Prez on our story about the lavish parties Northern Trust threw in L.A. last week. We finally got a statement back -- "No comment."
Remember, this is a bank that got $1.6 billion in bailout money and blew a wad of cash paying Sheryl Crow, Chicago, and Earth, Wind & Fire. And then there were the dinners, the Tiffany gift bags, the fabulous cocktail parties -- all from the bank that laid off 450 workers in December.
Obama was under fire for a mortgage he got from Northern Trust back in 2005. Obama got a 5.625% rate, which was lower than the going rate of about 6%. The Federal Election Commission recently ruled no laws were violated and the rate was in line with other mortgages.
But "no comment." Really?
