Jobs are few and far between for former star Lindsay Lohan these days. So what the hell, she thought, let’s pick up a few bucks by suing E-Trade.
Gawker.com has the snarky details:
A Super Bowl ad featuring talking babies that refers to a “milkaholic” named “Lindsay” is about her, she says, and she’s suing for $100M.
Lindsay filed suit yesterday, the New York Post reports. Her lawyer explains, “Many celebrities are known by one name only, and E-Trade is using that knowledge to profit. They used the name Lindsay. They’re using her name as a parody of her life. Why didn’t they use the name Susan? This is a subliminal message. Everybody’s talking about it and saying it’s Lindsay Lohan.”
On a related note, Rahm Emanuel is also one of those guys known by one name. So we’d suggest that E-Trade play it safe and not use the name “dickhead” in any future commercials.

Does this mean that my hubs, named Frank, who is a good golfer can sue over last year’s E-trade commercial? Good cause $100M doesn’t go as far as it used to and we have spent almost all of our last settlement.

Note to myself:
-Become a B to D list celebrity
-When I become unemployed due to my party ways and irresponsible behavior, sue any company that uses the name Kim in their commercials.

Wow that’s stupid. Sorry Lohan, when I hear the word “Lindsay” you’re not the first thing I think of.
This chick is obviously too stuck on herself.

Lindsay Wagoner and Lindsay Davenport have issued cross complaints against Lohan and asking for $1 trillion in damages for lost credibility to the name Lindsay.

Funny. And you know what? They would probably have more cause than Lindsay Lohan has for her lawsuit. She is an arrogant freak. She looks older than me. Sad.

Remember when Lindsay was in Mean Girls?
Kind of random but check this out:

Now… Lindsay identifies with and admits the image of her as a crazy slut alcoholic is valid and accurate? That is not the sort of item you want to go public with my dear. Best keep that one to yourself. We all knew, however…
Well, it is safe to say that I can add “lawsuit” to the list of actions/terms that Miss Not Too Bright Lohan officially does not understand the workings of. It is a BIG list…
Grounds for lawsuit? You used the same first name as the one I have in a TV ad. Plus 10 for fantasy and creativity. Minus 300 for logic and reality.
Want to know who the real victim of all this will be? Micheal Lohan! I don’t know how or why this is so, I know only that it will come to be so. This will in some wacky way just make his life suck even more. But then again he is Lindsay’s father so it is all part of some large and crazy cosmic penance/karma he must endure…
In a related story: My pal sent me an SMS asking me if I want to head East this summer. He said do I “want to hit up the Jersey Shore?” According to the Logic of Lohan I now owe Snookie and Paulie and the Situation $85 a piece for getting that txt…
DAMN YOU LINDSAY! Damn you to spray tan, vodka and Red Bull, ‘I dated a lesbian DJ’ HELL! BURN WITCH!!

There was a point – a very brief point – when she was an absolutely stunning young woman. That point passed very quickly when she destroyed what could have been a tremendous career with alcohol, drugs, lack of sleep and sex with 1000 men. Washed up, indeed. Would anyone be surprised if she ends up doing porn and dying before she hits 30?
