Lindsay Lohan Suing E-Trade Over Milkaholic Ad
Lindsay Lohan is suing the financial company E-Trade for $100 million! She claims that their current ‘milkaholic’ baby whose name is Lindsay, was model after her so now she is suing for pain and suffering.
From the NYP:
The actress filed a lawsuit yesterday in Nassau County Supreme Court over the commercial that debuted during the Super Bowl this year.
The ad — part of a series starring babies who play the stock market — features a boy apologizing to his girlfriend via video chat for not calling her the night before.
“And that milkaholic Lindsay wasn’t over?” the baby girl asks him suspiciously.
“Lindsay?” the boy replies, just before a baby girl sticks her head into the frame and slurs, “Milk-a-what?”
Lohan’s lawyer, Stephanie Ovadia, said the actress has the same single-name recognition as Oprah or Madonna.
“Many celebrities are known by one name only, and E-Trade is using that knowledge to profit,” Ovadia said.
“They used the name Lindsay,” Ovadia said. “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.”
Lindsay are you kidding me? You think you’re a first name celebrity like Madonna or Oprah? Wow. Watch the commercial below and let me know your thoughts.

Lindsay is crazy if she thinks she’s even in the same universe as Oprah or Madonna. I think she needs to re-examine where her career went based on some “questionable” choices. I guess it is giving her much needed publicity.
