Dina Lohan Says Lindsay Cried After Seeing The E-Trade Super Bowl Commercial

BLANTANT ATTEMPT AT MEDIA MANIPULATION TO BUILD A 'CASE' SO THESE PEOPLE CAN GET SOME MONEY SINCE THEY ARE BROKE.....
this is how desparate they are, not to mention selfcentered........she assumes it's about her she's the only fu*cking lindsay in the world......

e trade's got a lot more resouces to drag this out in court for years......how long can lohan's lawyer work for free

I love the way Dina says "I'm not going to let them do this to US". What us Dina?You have nothing to do with this, other than to loose income because your daughter can't get her sh*t together and is unemployable and is the butt of all jokes in Hollywood.

Who cares!!! My boyfriend thinks the same with me. He- is eight years older than me, lol. We met online at an age gap dating site- A_ge_m_in_gle @ c.o.m a nice and free place for Younger- Women and Older Men, or Older Women and Younger Men, to- interact with each other. Maybe you wanna check out or- tell your friends.

CRY ME A FUCKING RIVER!

Just like Madonna's successful lawsuit against Apple records for the Beatle's song Lady Madonna.

Nice coke bloat face Linsanity

I guess the apple truly doesn't fall far from the tree. Her mom sounds just as stupid!

Btw, you might want to change that unflattering picture of "Lindsay" before your website gets sued too.

If she was so upset, how come we are just now hearing about this?

She makes thousands of dollars from her 'partyaholic' tabloid image so she could never win this court case. She is only still famous because of her arrests, stints in rehab & raunchy photo shouts. Lindsy herself has made the association between her name & wild living, not E-Trade. Therefore, she would have to sue herself

@8:45 - Because she was busy saving the world, remember?

If it was Lindsay it would have been GIRLFRIEND stealing???I saw it Lindsay Lohan never came to mind..Your not and icon Lindsay your no Madonna or Cher if they would have said Paris I would think Paris Hilton because her name is rare..Lindsay forgets she's and A-List Tabloid Star and Train wreck not a big movie star or tv star..Your full of yourself Lindsay!!

When I hear "milkaholic" I do not think of Lindsay Lohan. Sorry.

But if they'd said "crazy washed up drug using whore" I would have known who they were talking about.

I figure this is a publicity stunt. It has generated loads of publicity. Whether or not it's *good* publicity remains to be seen.

LOL

Lindsay is a very common name.

L. Lohan does NOT have single name recognition like Madonna,Paris, Demi, Cher, Angelina, and a few others.

No way, no how.

I just saw te picture of this in the NYPost its hilarious

The news media are laughing at her ego..Her Mom should be ashamed of herself for not stepping up and telling Lindsay that she has a common named..It would have save her the embarrassment of everyone laughing at her..Sorry Lindsay your going to have to play hostess if you want a payday no ones buying this no one in the media before your lawsuit ever talked about this when the commercial air.

Lainey's web site flat out said the bitch is broke and needs money.

Lainey also said the concensus in Hollywood is that Lindsay Lohan is no longer an option, and that she is not needed any longer.

MAYBE IF LINDSAY WAS A MILKAHOLIC IT WOULD BE A LAWSUIT..BUT EVERY SCREEN
WRITER WOULD BE IN TROUBLE..IF THEY
USED THE SAME NAME AS A CELEBRITY SO
LINDSAY SHOW US HOW YOU TRADEMARK YOUR
NAME PLEASE OTHERWISE SHUT UP

This lawsuit will generate tremendous hostility toward the Lohans, and block any attempts to get Ali or any other Lohan into the Hollywood scene.

The Lohans are worse than McCauley Caulkin's parents were. Haven't heard from that family in years either.

That's what you get when your mother - without a business degree, or formal business training, or common sense - is your manager.

Just when you thought we couldn't laugh any harder at this stupid girl and her family.

ARE THESE PEOPLE FOR REAL.
WTF

Go to PRNewser com even her pubulist wants nothing to do with her

write it the way I did PRNewser

She will be blackballed for sure now. People are tired of the Lohan shit.
That's all, folks.

I really hope that E-Trade will not let her get away with this, an obvious desperate attempt to try to win a settlement or score money any way they can.

This is going to smack them so hard in the face

If their lawyer has any brains at all, he will put liens against any property the Lohans still own,or else he will never get paid.
This lawsuit is a sure loser.

She MIGHT have a case if they had said "LaLoca" or "Lindsanity". Either of those names and I would have associated it with her.

Save the legal fees Lindsay, you don't have any money anyway. I'm a milk-o-holic and proud of it. The commercial was talking about me.

LOL at comment 8:53. This is just ridiculous

The last hurrah of a desperate person.

That bunch is too dumb to realize the humiliation they bring to themselves. Networks, local tv stations, radio shows, newspapers, blogs etc are joking about how ridiculous this is.

Dina get a nice check from Love My Shoes and since the canned her ass she has to pay them back
She owes thounds of dollars in back taxes and the bank is getting ready to fore close on the house

She thought this one up not lindsay
and now lindsay is going to pay for it in more ways then one
If lindsay was balling her eyes out why did dina wait over a month??
If Lindsay is sueing why didnt she file papers in LA?
Dina filed in Nassau cause this is her cockamanie bullshit
Yes The Lohans are very broke.
To put it nicely piss ass broke

BOO FUCKING HOO HOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

i'm so glad this london guy who interview Lindsay, was so brave for asking her all the questions, people want to know... I like when he said to Lindsay: "are you martha or arthur now?" hahhahahha brilliant... Lilo likes to eat puzzy and be eaten by a woman Sam Ronson, but she doesn't want to be called a lesbian... that's good this interviewer told her like it is!!!!

Man oh man I wouldnt want to be little Cody Lohan in school.Hes gonna take a heipe of shit over this
Nice job Money Hungry Monster Mother
Your whole family is going to suffer

When these idiots set the amount at 100 million, they're really hoping that the company will want to avoid court and give her some money less than that, just give her some money. But the fact is that they should not give her a dime for her ridiculous frivolous suit, and actually counter-sue her money-grubbing ass for wasting their time and resources.

OH COME ON PEOPLE!!!
If you guys couldn't tell by that commercial that they were making fun of Lindsay Lohan then you guys are a bunch of MORONS. I wouldn't compare the name thing to Madonna or Cher but if you use the name Britney or Paris or Lindsay we all know who they would be talking about.

lindsay needs to get help and if her mom loved her she would make sure she got it!

@9:34 Lindsay Lohan is so far down the list of people's thoughts (if at all), why in God's name would anyone think that a funny commercial has anything to do with her? Even though Dina and Linsanity would like to think so, the world does not revolve around them, or any other famous person for that matter!

I cant wait for E Trade to get the paper work so they can come after the Lohans in full force
This is going to be fun
When E Trade goes after Lindsay there going to make it so she wished she never started this whole thing and wants to change her name

This is gonna get ugly

Lowlife Lindsay vs E Trade

ROTF LMFAO

There going to eat you alive Lindsanity

I guess I'm a moron then because there is no way I would have associated the milk drinking babies with lindsay Lohan.
She is known for other things but NOT for milk.

If they gave her money to go away than they would have to do that to every lindsay in the world
Its not going to happen and LiLo is no longer any "A" list kind of celebrity
Also no one refers to her as "Lindsay"
more like

Lindsanity
Firecrouch
LiLo
LL
Blo-han
Skan-han
Low-han
bald-han
the list goes on but no way does anyone call her Lindsay

Is it that she can't land any more jobs???

Didn't her family say just recently that she "makes millions"?

Mummy is it true??
Were going to get 100 million dollars from milk babies

Most adults don't even know who Lindsay Lohan is, and the younger groups do not care anymore.

Blah Blah Blah I hate Lindsay Blah Blah Blah.
You guys are all blinded by your hatred for the girl.
They were making fun of a boyfriend stealing addict with the name Lindsay. Don't tell me that Lindsay Lohan wasn't the first person that came to your mind. IT'S NOT ABOUT THE MILK!! IDIOTS!!

anyone else think she looks like Joan Cusack in this picture,somehow?

Lindsay, You're a drug addict and failure. There, sue me!

I definately equated the Milkaholic line with Lidsay Vonn, who is a healthy young woman.

Lindsay Lohan, on the other hand, is one foot in the grave. No association with Milk will do her any good. She needs roto-rooter or sumptin'.

she's broke. and her ego is hurt because ITS NOT about her. HA!

The only thing ever associated with Lindsay Lohan is failure, contract breaking, lying, stealing and unprofessionalism.

10:02 How can LL be a boyfriend sealer when she's a Lizbo??
So no I didnt think of her when I saw it on superbowl

PS Dina sorry horse face but your not gonna get a penny from this and go on other sites and read the comments NO ONE thought of LL NO ONE
You just opened a can of worms your going to wish you never did....

This is a very bad move for her and your whole family so let the Karma begin

10:02 Is Dina tripping out LMFAO

@10:36 you forgot pornography

10:02 Its not about Lindsay IDIOT!!!

Dina you dont have the money or power to fight this big corp.
Give it up already you look real stupid

I cant believe how people have been treating my cousin and family. We were all upset when we saw this advert. My cousin is clean and has been for years she made a mistake everyone does but shes a change woman and is trying to live a normal life. People her age do these kind of things all the tiem its just my cousins in the spotlight and has many fans looking up to her. It was very hurtful for my family to see this. It was rude and disrespectful. They were talking about my cousin because shes very popular around the world and they know shes had a lot of problems. Why cant people just leave us alone????? All we want is privacy and respect. What has my family done to derserve all these cruel comments???? Just leave us alone we should be treated just as any other US citizen. We are so sick of this BS.

This is crap, of COURSE that commercial was about Lindsay LOHAN. How many red haired babies did etrade have before this commercial? How many of their babies had names before this commercial? How many people hit twitter stating that this commercial was about Lindsay Lohan when it aired? This is NOT any random name and random baby. E Trade wanted buzz and knew they could get it by capitalizing on Lindsay Lohan's alcoholism and reputation and covered their asses by not using her last name. Dina got pissed, saw it as a way of making a statement and money, and convinced her daughter to sue. This lawsuit is DINA'S idea and MICHAEL's and uses MICHAEL's lawyer. People who say they didn't think of Lindsay, doesn't matter. ENOUGH people saw the connection. To say it's about LINDSAY's ego is CRAP. There's definitely a connection and eTrade is a boring company with a gimmicky commercial that got the buzz they wanted from this commercial but without the Lohan's benefiting financially from it. That's all this is about. Lindsay isn't always wrong or right and the public's reaction is too often predictable in blaming Lindsay first even when it is obvious she is being targeted, which is quite often.

FAYE BORROW ONE OF LINDSAYS RAZORS AND SLIT YOUR WRAIST
CLEAN AND SOBER FOR YEARS NOW THATS FUNNY SHIT!

YOU WANT PRIVACY ROTF LMFAO YEAH LOOK AT YOUR UNCLE MIKE AND LINDSAY THEY WOULD DIE IF THEY DIDNT GET THE ATTENTION THEY CRAVE EVERYDAY

FAYE DO NOT COME BACK HER WITH YOUR BULLSHIT LIES
WE WILL EAT YOU ALIVE

NOW GO PLAY WITH LINDZ RADOR ADD ALOT OF PRESURE DONT BE A BABY ATTENTION SEEKER LIKE LINDZ AND CUT THE SURFACE

Faye Lohan...you know, I just might believe that you are related to her...based on the spelling mistakes alone I can see that stupidity runs in the family.

Faye, you tell them, enough is enough. Hope Lindsay's OK in Paris now. Hope Ali's doing well too.

There useing Michaels lawyer LOL Hope you like wasting your money ad your family is going to be pulled threw the mudd Good luck to ya
You wont seea penny
Anything you Lohans do is a complete FAILURE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

E Trade has tons of those commericals and all the babys have a name this one just happens to be lindsay and sorry to tell you delusional lohans didnt cross any minds of your lindsay sorry she's all washed up!

Dina is involved with Mikey boy?
Watch your Crouch his a kicker

GO E TRADE!!!!!!

Maybe my niece, Lindsay, could get into some kind of class action lawsuit with Lindsay, along with my babysitter's daughter, Lindsay along with - well, there are around 75,000 Lindsdays in the U.S. right now so there wouldn't be that much to go around.

Until "Lindsay" (who apparently only goes by her first name now like Madonna, a concept that is about as new as the lawsuit) brought up this lawsuit, I never associated her with that commercial. But now that cute commercial is ruined for me ... maybe E-Trade should countersue - just "Lindsay" - not the 75,000 others.

BTW that baby doesnt have red hair,my niece is a red head like LL and thats not what a red headed baby looks like its really red

Sorry I didn't evenknow who Lindsay Lohan was until the lawsuit. I looked her up she did Parent Trap...I have a niece named Lindsey can she sue?

11:02:

You're a complete moron. I think that's all that needs to be said.

Fight, Faye, fight. Don't let anyone bring you down. Mike Jr. will support Cody, Dina will protect Lindsay and Ali, Lindsay and Ali will be fine, they have their projects and people that support them. The lawyers will fight for Lindsay. Lindsay is attacked, so are Dina and Ali. Don't let up, support your cousins, Cody, Mike Jr., Ali and Lindsay. It's frustrating and hard but keep the faith.

he has single name recognition like Madonna???

Eat sh!t, Lindsay. You're fking piece of shit compared to Madonna.

11:30 Cant you just call faye do we have to listen to your bullshit
Oh thats right no one takes your calls

I cant wait for ETrade to make a statement BAM!!!!

They are aware of this and they have there dogs on it Double BAM


Once again the Lohans will be a public humilation

Dont count your chickens lohans mayjor back fire headed your way

LIARS NEVER WIN

Materialistic Bitch Lindsey LowHan or Blowhan is her name not just "Lindsey" god i wish she would just OD already what a waste of time and space. why do they report on her UGLY ass? who cares about her anymore shes a HASBEEN!
Go eat some pussy Lowhan or ride a dick either way your NOthing to anyone!

11:02 I am copying what you said and forwarding it in a email to E Trade
In the subject box I will out in there

Dina saw the commerical got pissed and convinced her daughter to sue

Dina made up the whole story up in todays post that lindsay was crying when she saw it.

I begg to differ on that one. This is just a money ,making sceem
Lindsay probly never even saw the commerical.

Thank You for the comment that E Trade will be receiving

What do you think E Trade will think when they read the lawsuit was Dinas and Micheals idea
AND they had to convince Lindsay into sueing
Huummmmmm

11:22 The baby Lindsay's hair looks red to me. It is in low light and isn't bright red. The boy baby's hair looks blond and the baby Lindsay's hair looks a shade of red. Also, the eye color of the baby Lindsay looks similar to Lindsay Lohan's eye color. The likeness doesn't have to be exact, just enough to make the connection.

12:10 OUCH! But good one go for it send it send it send it

11:58 who cares what you send to etrade. It's an opinion written by someone commenting. Lindsay tweeted about the commercial soon after it aired so she definitely saw it, there are even articles about her reaction to it on the web.

Anyway, Dina practically said it was her idea. She said I took a stand, I'm not going to let them do that to us anymore. Do you know that Osevadia is Michael Lohan's attorney, not Lindsay's? Lindsay's made no public statements that I know of on the law suit. That's smart, Dina is the one commenting today.

madaonna had no chance against apple trying to sue for a song written when she was a baby or even before she was born
lindsay on the other hand is at the mercy of a judge and/or a jury........intelletual property is a bitch......if the judge don't like lindsay.........she's screwed
as far as anyone on the lohan family wanting privacy, they should of thought about that before they forced their witless child into acting......then calling the paparazzi and news services everytime they fart........sorry not buying the 'respect their privacy' angle

lindsay lohan, adderal, sits and wathces TV????.......give me a break

12:23 You see everyone on twitter tweeting what there watch never onece has lindsanity ever done that

LOL to your post good one :)

I'm not on etrade's side. I don't like the baby commercials and I don't find them cute or funny. Just tiresome. That idea is old, similar to a movie that had talking babies featuring Bruce Willis's voice.

If etrade didn't want any confusion based on the milkaholic thing, they would have named the baby something not associated with anyone where any part of their name is tied with a past or present addiction. That they did was mocking and tacky and not funny if it involved someone that you are invested in or care for. You guys act too much like Lindsay's not a real flesh-and-blood person with feelings. Well, news flash, she is.

By the time Cody goes to school tomorrow te kids will be walking up to him crying like babys Hope he can handle it. These kids today are so mean

12:33 SHUT THE F**k UP! YOUR NOYT GOING TO CHANGE ANYONES MIND.

YOUR A LYING RAT LOHAN

WE SEE RIGHT THREW YOUR COMMENTS ALL THE TIME

YOUR NOT GETTING A PENNY FOR THIS

ALL YOU WILL GET IS MORE PUBLIC HUMILATION BUT YOU LOHANS HAVE NO SHAME OR CLASS

NOW GO F**K YOURSELF!

Dina and mikey boy are so delusional it hurts!

See Perez and celebitchy funny funny funy and there comments are hilarious

Yeah just like mike said he was going to sue Perez for making fun of LiLo
Yeah that went far.

After E Trade throws this out I hope they smack the Lohans with a suit of there own



LOHANS YOU HAVE MADE A HUGE MISTAKE BY DOING THIS.....

So Dina and Mike Hows this lawsuit working out for ya so far??

Have yoiu read all the comments on all the papers and blogs that are reporting it?

No ones buying into it huh

Do you see what there saying about you?

People can be real crewl
If the Public doesnt buy guess your not winning it


So since you had to convince Linds to do this was the cut
50 Million for Mummy and 50 Million for Daddy?

The delusional minds you two have are Priceless

9:24, you do realize that Lohan didn't pay a retainer fee, don't you? LOL, her lawyers took this matter on contingency to gain the firm notoriety. She could never fund this kind of litigation up front. I anticipate that the court will order summary judgment in favor of E-Trade, which will knock the suit out very swiftly.

1:35 that lawsuit is working out just great...if it doesn't, I can just continue to stalk SR. Oh, I am really looking forward to the deposition in this matter, where expert insurance lawyers that indemnify E-Trade will be permitted to subject me to long days that will consist of propounding every question they desire, inquiring into each and every sordid detail of my existence.

This is one of the dumbest lawsuits ever filed. How egocentric do you have to be to think the Lindsay they're talking about is you, because you know there are no other famous Lindsay's right? (I can probably think of about five off the top of my head). Lindsay is not a unique name and 'milkaholic', oh yeah, that's Lindsay all right, she takes care of her body because she drinks milk (NOT!). This is an utterly stupid lawsuit, the fact that her lawyer didn't talk her out of it is unbelievable...I hope this stupid suit gets thrown out of court ASAP. She really is a nut!

12:33, an action for false light, public disclosure of private facts, or name/likeness intrusion is not based upon how Lohan perceived the comments, unless it is also cross pled with an an action for severe emotional distress, and for that to prevail, the conduct must have been outrageous and beyond the pale of the law. Moreover, Lohan admits so much prior emotional distress that she will have a very tough time recovering on that theory. The other three theories all depend on how an ordinary reasonable person would have perceived the comments. Similar to libel, the receiver of the communication must have clearly and unambiguously understood the comment to reference Lohan-and that's just too tenuous. She isn't a household name. Moreover, she herself poked fun at herself on the same subject on Funny or Die. Lastly, she has no real career prospects and cannot show economic harm.

What an over inflated ego if she thinks she's the only person with the name Lindsey on this planet. I think the real issue is she's going broke from all her bad habits and sees this as a quick fix. You only make yourself look like a bigger fool than you already are.

12:20, her reaction to the commercial is irrelevant to recovery. No matter how lacerated she claims her feelings were by the commercial, she still isn't going to prevail-for a number of very sound legal and practical reasons which would take too long to explain.

1:56, LOL. Agreed. The lawsuit is more than just about use of the very common name "Lindsay", it's also about the phrase "milkaholic", which she is better known for; however, the fact that she is an alcoholic or that this is a common public perception is one which SHE has even made light of . It may even turn out that they were referencing her but because of her public admissions and public perception, she will be denied recovery. She is nothing but a washed up junkie, bar fly hussy.

Her next lawsuit will be against Steven Tyler. Wow, wouldn't it be great if they had a kid? It would come out looking all twizzler lipped.

Suffer hard, you bloated, duck faced, criminal, greedy, worthless, P.O.S addict!

I think there should be a class action suit brought up againse Ms. Lohan for ruining the good name Lindsay.

Now I just think of toxic cum-dumpsters whenever I hear the name.

The original cheating baby girl's name was Deborah. It was changed to Lindsay. Also, the milkoholic thing was added pretty late. So, why the change to Lindsay from Deborah?

This girl needs to give it up. She just a skank

This girl needs to give it up. She just a skank

Lindsay Lohan is not a mononymous person. A monotonous former child actor, prescription drug addict and cutter, yes. A mononymous entertainer, director, athlete, author, or other recognized person, no. The name Lindsay is not akin to Oprah, Elvis, Cher, Madonna, Bono, Sting, , Beyonce, Shakira, Seal, Selena, Liberace, Scorsese, Spielberg, Kubrick, Hitchcock, Salinger, Rushdie, Tiger, Shaq, Magi. I asked a jury sized sample of people to name mononymous personalities. Not one named Lindsay. When I asked, what about Lindsay? All responded, who?

Lindsay Lohan = Oprah, Madonna?
Reuters - Mar 10, 2010 14:35 EST

Umm. No. — at least according to a poll by celebrity market researcher E-Poll.

Lohan — former Disney child star, turned member of the “Mean Girls,” then media sensation, before plunging into alcohol and drug abuse and going to rehab, from which she emerged to a troubled acting career and then flopped in the world of fashion, all before she turns 24 years old this year — has sued E*Trade Financial Corp, seeking $100 million for an advertisement that Lohan claims wrongly uses her “likeness, name, characterization, and personality” without permission, violating her right of privacy. The ad involves toddlers. Read that story here.

Importantly, the ad uses only a first name, Lindsay, and of course there are millions of Lindsay’s in the world. Still, a lawyer for Lohan told the New York Post that the Hollywood actress has the same “single-name” recognition as celebrities like Oprah Winfrey and Madonna. Really?

E-Poll, which makes a business out of asking questions like these and selling that information to companies looking for details about celebrity and pop culture, has come up with some different results. E-Poll recently asked a similar question of people and here’s what it found. In the name awareness category, Lindsay Lohan had a 77 percent rating to Oprah Winfrey’s 89 percent and Madonna’s 91 percent. Not bad, Lindsay LOHAN, but not quite the same — and not on a single name. E-Poll, by the way, is in no way affiliated with E*Trade. The two companies just share a first letter. (Hey, maybe they should sue each other).

There's something seriously off about this story. Lindsay is not driving the bus here. It's a NYC-based suit and Lindsay's a resident of California. The advertising firm Grey is NYC-based. The timing is odd. Dina is talking, Michael has gone silent and Lindsay hasn't said a word about it. The attorney who filed the story isn't talking. Lindsay's publicist is on haitus. Something is off.

From smokingsection

Lohan obviously got wasted off that pure, uncut homogenized the night this picture was taken (photo of Lindsay passed out in the front seat of a car wearing a gray hoodie).

We’ve all seen and love the E-trade commercials. During the Super Bowl, we witnessed and laughed at the “Milkaholic” commercial where the E-trade baby’s girlfriend asks if “that milkaholic Lindsay wasn’t over?” Apparently, Lindsay Lohan thinks this “Lindsay” is a slick attempt to make fun of her, so she’s suing E-trade for $100 million. It’s possible that E-trade was making reference to Lohan, but it’s more likely that the commercial would rather poke fun at a celebrity. Lindsay just needs to watch the commercial again. She made a simple mistake, but she shouldn’t feel bad because I made the same mistake of thinking the commercial said “anorexic cokehead” instead of “milkaholic” the first time I saw it, too.

Lindsay Lohan. Lindsay Lohan. Lindsay Lohan.
There. We’re saying your name. Now, go away.

Search "List of people famous enough to be known by a single name"

She's SOL!

Lindsay Lohan is off.

Is Lindsay “My name cheapen things” Lohan planning another frivolous lawsuit?

From HuffPo:

Lindsay Lohan Confirms She's DONE At Ungaro
03-9-10 09:44 AM

Actress Lindsay Lohan confirmed to WWD that she is no longer part of Ungaro's design team. At Monday afternoon's Kenzo show, Lohan was asked why she hadn't been at Ungaro earlier that morning.

She replied: "Because I don't work for them anymore." Prompted for more specifics, she noted, "There's legal things going on; I can't really discuss it."

After hiring Lohan last year, former Ungaro CEO and President Mounir Moufarrige told WWD, "Designer-led fashion is likely not to be enough. It's a slow process going the traditional route." Moufarrige stepped down last December and declined to comment on Lohan and Ungaro when reached on Monday.

They're obviously referring to Lindsay Lohan.
I mean, c'mon.

9:32 and 9:54, I agree.

11:08 LOL!

Schonheit at 1:36, swish...bulls-eye!

Her narcissism and substance abuse destroyed her career. This is a scam to secure a golden parachute because she is unemployable. She is an adult not a child. She is responsible for destroying her life. You know what they say - you play, you pay. Others aren't required to foot the bill for her arrogance and ignorance.

Yeah, looks like the commercial is based on lindsay lohan. lots of peeps thought so.
lindsay & ..aholic.

Peeps? How antisocial, uneducated, inner-city, underclass of you!

When I heard the commercial I didn't think anything about the name and when I hear the name Lindsey, I think of Lindsey Buckingham of Fleetwood Mac.

Since when did Lindsay Lohan brand the female name, "Lindsay?" Get off it, Lindsay!!! It can't all be about you!It probably has been a long time since you've had an acting gig, and you're seeing your money dwindling way down. Tell the truth, Lindsay. It's all about the money! You Lohan's are pathetic.

If its true that Dina is back in bed so to speak with Michael. She is sick in the head. Michael was the brain child behind this. He prob called Dina and said, drop the case of me owing you money. I have too much going on with high stakes of going to jail again over Erin. So if I pay for the lawyer and get LINDS $100M...lets call a spade a spade. The sickest thing is that he beat the SH*T out of Dina for years. Was in jail more than half their marriage. Sold tapes about Dina, reporting what a horrible mother and a LIAR she was. Dina deserves to get kicked in the ve-j.

From BlackBook Magazine

Lindsay Lohan’s New Job: Crying Over Spilt Milk
By Rohin Guha March 09, 2010

Never one to be demoralized by diminishing employment opportunities, Lindsay Lohan is recovering from her Ungaro firing quite quickly. Having categorically failed at being a pop star, thespian, fashionista, and lesbian, Lohan turns to what was simply a niche before the recession, but now a growth industry: Nonsensical litigation. LiLo's suing financial services company E-Trade to the tune of $100 million, claiming the company ripped off her likeness in portraying a milkaholic baby in an ad that originally aired during the Super Bowl.

Apparently Lohan now has single-name recognition—like Oprah or Madonna. $100 million is the cost of the debilitating pain and humiliation caused to her as a result of this alleged parody. Undisclosed is the cost of damage done to her by years of drug and alcohol abuse. See the clip below and judge ye yourself.

From Esquire:

We'll leave it to the judge, but know this: "milk-a-holic" is, in my humble opinion, the least derogatory of epithets that could have been thrown at the Lindsay baby. Witness earlier options in the bottom-left-hand corner of the document above, from "rug burn" and "jailbait" and, in an earlier Grey document, plain old "tramp."

E-Trade rejected Grey's preferred nickname — "flank-steak woman" — just three days after the name Lindsay appeared, opting instead for the tamer "milk-a-holic." Three months later, in the lead-up to the Super Bowl, Myhren actually still had concerns that E-Trade was being too tame in limiting his punch line. "We're locked in," he told me on January 8, "on everything except the very, very last word. It was something really aggressive but I thought hilarious. The girlfriend pops her head in and says, 'Say it to my milk-a-holic face!' I think it would have become a catchphrase, but E-Trade felt it was too aggressive. Provisionally, we have her saying 'Milk-a-what?' which doesn't quite have the edge. I think it falls flat, but I hope I'm wrong."

If a $100 million lawsuit was his idea of falling flat, the minds behind the E-Trade babies better just be glad they didn't call one of them a "firecrotch."

From adage:

Was Lohan's $100M Suit Against E-Trade Crowdsourced?
Actress (and her Twitter Followers) Upset Over 'Milkoholic' Comment in Super Bowl Spot
By Rupal Parekh March 09, 2010

NEW YORK (AdAge) -- The $100 million lawsuit pop-tart Lindsay Lohan filed against E-Trade Financial Corp. this week over a 30-second Super Bowl spot from its agency Grey, New York, appears to have been a crowdsourced effort by friends and random fans of Ms. Lohan on Twitter.

APLindsay Lohan A quick look back at her Twitter page shows that Ms. Lohan was watching the Feb. 7 Super Bowl broadcast, and its commercials, closely. She tweeted with some shock during the game: "Did that just happen? On that commercial? Or am I wrong? 5:44 PM Feb 7th via UberTwitter."

It appears that tweet was referring to the E-Trade spot "Girlfriend" -- one of two commercials the repeat Super Bowl advertiser had in the game this year -- in which we see a baby talking to his girlfriend about the importance of building a diversified portfolio, while she fumes wondering what else he's been up to. The girl baby says: "And that milkoholic Lindsay wasn't over?"

The style of the ad is much like ones before it in the "Talking Babies" series, in which the babies say something snarky and off-color. (Incidentally, Bob Garfield gave the commercial high marks.)

From adage:

Ms. Lohan's lawyer, Stephanie Ovadia, did not immediately return a request for comment, but alleges the spot is clearly a reference to her client. She told the New York Post: "Many celebrities are known by one name only, and E-Trade is using that knowledge to profit. ... They used the name Lindsay." She went on to say: "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."

Indeed, a lot of people were talking about it on Twitter in the aftermath of the spot's airing -- with many egging Ms. Lohan on to file a lawsuit against E-Trade. Wrote someone named Ryan Curtis: "@lindsaylohan I would sue if I was you," and later saying "@lindsaylohan I really think you should look into it. It wasn't funny and rude." She replied back to several of the comments, but seemed to take it in stride, if not be amused by it. Wrote Ms. Lohan to @bigbillybmoney "hahahaha vitamin D never tasted so good!" Another person named Alex Rodil joked with Lohan: "U darn milkoholic! HeHe" and attached this photo to the tweet.

From adage:

To others, she suggested that the E-Trade ad might even spur on a second round of her "Got Milk" campaign from back in the day. Wrote Ms. Lohan: "@MissCarlaJeann :) @Eleven_11 i did a Got Milk campaign quite a bit ago- maybe it's time for round 2?!??!"
Whether her suit holds up in court remains to be seen; she's seeking an injunction to stop airing the ads and $100 million in damages. But it's pretty surprising that before filing the suit she didn't delete her Twitter comments.

E-Trade's agency, Grey, and CBS, which broadcast the Super Bowl and sold the air time, are not believed to be named in the suit.

E-Trade did not immediately return a request for comment.

Lindsay doesn't have a case. So what if it could be a reference to her, but it doesn't come out and say Lindsay Lohan. She's not known for just being Lindsay like Madonna or Cher, those are creditable stars, Lindsay is not. Lindsay is in need of quick cash. I doubt that she'll get anything.

Parody is protected speech. Milk-a-holic isn’t defamatory. According to E-Poll, she doesn’t have a mononymous name. Her image wasn’t used in the commercial. She wasn’t upset when she tweeted after seeing the commercial. In fact, she joked about it and wrote about making Got Milk? 2.0 (no chance). The lawsuit’s excessive claim for damages looks like they are seeking an out of court settlement. I hope E-Trade doesn't yield to this frivolous lawsuit. If it goes to trial, E-Trades’ lawyers will show the jury her tweets and she won’t get zip. I hope E-Trade counter sues for legal costs.

10:16 She does look like Joan Cusack.

9:29, Hustler v. Fallwell, LOL. Perfect example.

So you guys don't think the lawsuit thing will pan out? F*ck, Samantha keeps puttin the slip on me....honey answer you phone....it's me Lindsay. Hey, just tell your mom I'm off the prescription meth. I don't need you gettin disowned either....I mean cuz I really love you! That's what I meant to say!

Schonheit, that precedent is a brilliant example!

11:23 Oh my...LOL!

11:24, I wonder if her lawyers bothered to consider Hustler? Standard required reading for lawyers.

Mummy, Samantha won't answer her phone and I can't figure out why.I can't pay my rent this month. I think she threw out more of my stuff out her window onto the street. Do you think that means we are done?

Good question. I checked the ruling. The U.S. Supreme Court issued a unanimous 8-0 decision in Hustler Magazine, Inc. v. Falwell. If her lawyer is aware of the precedent, it makes the E-Trade lawsuit look even more pathetic.

LOL! Thee "Lindsay" Lohan wants to know if it means they are done! That one caught me off guard (pushing the coffee away from my laptop).

Or they they don't care and are willing to lose a claim to generate some media attention to the firm. This does happen from time to time. Even a substantially prevailing defendant may not necessarily recover attorneys fees and costs in some cases-so it could be a win-win situation for them. Believe me, there is no merit to this baseless claim of hers. I cannot get into all the details. But for a number of legal and practical reasons, she will not recover, unless they shake her loose with a nominal settlement to rid themselves of her-don't worry, Lindsay is accustomed to being given the brush.

Schonheit, do you have any thoughts about 5:45? Do you think she's planning to make ‘filing lawsuits for a living’ the next entry on her fail resume?

11:48, :)

11:52 A concise and very logical analysis! I agree.

11:53, I think the E-Trade suit enables her to update the resume with frivilous lawsuits just as it stands; however, I can't say for sure in regards to any potential litigation concerning Ungaro. In breach of contract, Sluthan can only be made whole for the value of the contract price, if there is a substantial breach; however, is it that Lohan breached???? Sounds like this relates back to the Patrick thing and her not being able to perform as required under the contract ;) Goodnight to you!

Schonheit, it was noteworthy that Unagaro removed Mounir Moufarrige as CEO but did not simultaneously terminate her contract. I agree this may have something to do with Patrick and his undisputed claim on the 6126 designs and sketches. If her Ungaro contract stipulated specific “artistic” (written tongue-in-cheek) contributions she is unable to make, it would be grounds for terminating her contract.

Goodnight! :)

Dina's damaging Lindsay's already compromised reputation here. There's a very intelligent article written (on the net) about the whole dubious nature surrounding the origin of the person masterminding this suit. It doesn't point to Lindsay Lohan. It more points to someone in the New York area for very good reasons. And who said "I took a stand"? This, so far, is a PR nightmare that goes beyond the usual tabloid world, and the association is with Lindsay, not who actually may be behind this sham. For the record, has Lindsay made any public statements, including twitter, about this suit?

As for eTrade, the original baby's name was Deborah. It could have stayed Deborah since most people think having the name Lindsay doesn't matter. I say it does, and eTrade deliberately but slyly used the name Lindsay for enough people to make a connection to Lindsay Lohan. It was a superbowl commercial after all.

The lawyer does have a point. If a question was asked of people in the world, name someone famous who has the first name of Lindsay, at the time of the Superbowl (not Olympics), I think Lindsay Lohan would get the most hits. I'm pretty confident that it would be so. That's where the subliminal message comes in. While people may not have made an immediate conscious connection to Lindsay Lohan, the appearance of the baby, something with the term "oholic" in it, does send a subliminal message to the brain that links to Lindsay Lohan. That is a reasonable argument. How much merit it has legally, I don't know. Maybe not much but an Esquire may know something I don't.

Lindsay has to get tougher. She's no mean girl, she's fragile. She speaks when she shouldn't and doesn't speak when she should. She should first of all tell people never speculate as to her motivations or what she thinks. Do not put words in her effing mouth. People don't know her yet say this and that about her like it is real. It's not. It's public perception that may have nothing to do with reality. And she needs to say something or have her representative give her side of what's going on in this lawsuit. By remaining silent, people's perceptions of her become reality and she fades behind stronger personalities like her mother. I think if Ali ever gets into the public arena in her own rite the media/tabloids won't be able to pull the same crap they do with Lindsay. I think Ali will assert herself and tell people to STFU about who she is and what she thinks.

4:42-4:43 Nobody gives a shit what a fucking moron like you thinks about anything.

5:18 Shove it up your ass.

The Super Bowl occurred in February 2010. In December (three months before the lawsuit) Grey's chief creative officer, Tor Myrhen was interviewed by Esquire.

From USAToday:

'Esquire' sat in on making of 'Lindsay' E-Trade ad
Mar 11, 2010

Esquire may play a key role in the Lindsay Lohan lawsuit against E-Trade. A reporter sat in on early meetings with the Grey Group, E-Trade's advertising firm, for what they thought was "a harmless little inside look" at the "milk-a-holic" ad's creative process — one that now is shedding more light on the case.

According to the writer Joshua David Stein, documents and interview notes show that the character's name changed from Deborah to Lindsay, but the celebrity parallel was dismissed early on. In December (the name was changed in September), Stein asked Grey's chief creative officer, Tor Myrhen, whether "Lindsay" was a reference to Lohan. "Not at all. I don't think we even thought of it at the time," he said.

Lohan Sues Over Spilled Milk
Kelsey Swanekamp, 03.10.10, 06:00 PM EST

Actress may have no shot at winning $100 million suit over E*Trade ad, but winning isn't the only motivation for legal action.

Lindsay Lohan is headed to court over a talking baby, but she might not be looking for a win.

Lohan is suing E-Trade ( ETFC - news - people ) for the online brokerage firm's Super Bowl commercial that features talking babies and refers to a "milk-a-holic" named Lindsay. The actress claims the ad is clearly referring to her and therefore misappropriates her name and likeness. (See "Lindsay Lohan Sues E*Trade for $100 Million.")

The New York Post reported Tuesday that Lohan's lawyer is claiming the actress has "the same single-name recognition as Oprah or Madonna."

From Forbes:

In this case, Regent University professor of law Jim Duane is extremely skeptical that Lohan has a shot at winning in court. First, he says, she would need to convince the court that she is "the Lindsay" people are speaking about whenever they use the name, unlikely since the name is not distinctive.

For the past 10 years, the name “Lindsay” has been one of the top 400 most popular names for baby girls, according to the Social Security Administration.

Lohan would also need to prove that the ad implied her endorsement and was not simply a parody, which is protected by law.

Read All Comments While Lohan might not have a chance at persuading a judge or jury to take her side, Duane says that the American legal system gives plaintiffs an incentive to file lawsuits they know they can not win.

From Forbes:

“Plaintiffs are hoping [for] a generous settlement,” Duane says. And for celebrities who have slipped from the headlines, Duane added that a lawsuit is a “handy and convenient way to kickstart your PR campaign.”

Lohan is hardly the first celebrity to head to court over use of her name. In a case that was later dismissed, actress Tara Reid sued the owners of the Sky Las Vegas Condominiums project in 2005 for using her name alongside a lewd joke in an advertisment for the project.

In 2008, rapper 50 cent sued Taco Bell, owned by Yum! Brands ( YUM - news - people ), after the fast food company issued a press release promoting its low price menu selections which stated the rapper had changed his name to “89 cent” or “99 cent.” The suit was settled in 2009.

I would like Forbes to follow-up with Dr. Duane to ask his opinion about her post-commercial tweets and frivolous lawsuits.

E-Trade’s advertising team included a woman named Lindsay.

Lohan’s Twitter record was preserved and published. If this farce goes to trial, her statements are admissible evidence. Her nonchalant reaction proves she did not suffer damages. Her mother‘s characterization is inconsistent with her daughter’s contemporaneous Twitter reaction to the commercial. It is a frivolous lawsuit brought by an irreparably damaged former actress and failed artistic director.

x17 sucks with the response you put up to choose from you all worship the ground the bitch walks on why did'nt you all put one that read lindsay is retarded for trying to sue e-trade!!!
