I believe Lindsay Lohan's publicist informed her that maybe her career wasn't going so well and it might be time to stir the Hollywood cauldron a bit. Maybe a new movie role, try her hand at the stage or even a guest spot on some TV sitcom? Nope - she's got a better idea.
Let's sue E-Trade!!
It seems that Dear Lindsay puts her stardom up there with the likes of Oprah, Madonna and Cher. In her mind - she is so famous that she basically has a copyright to the name "Lindsay" and the financial trading company had the audacity to use her moniker in one of their "Baby" ads.
You know the ads- talking babies discussing their investments and how easy it is to invest through E-trade. In the specific commercial, a baby boy is apologizing to his girlfriend for not calling her the night before. The girl baby asks if "Lindsay" the milkaholic wasn't over at his place. Lindsay, the baby girl pops onto the screen at about this time and says "a Milk-a -What?'
Ms. Lohan is seeking $100 million dollars in damages and wants the commercials off the air.
Lohan's lawyer claims that E-Trade is not only using her name w/o permission but also her characterization - in other words that milk-aholic baby is a pretty accurate description of Ms. Lohan. It would normally be at this pont that I would sarcastically say " I'm sure her Momma and 'em are so proud!" - but unfortunately I'm afraid they probably are.
