"Many celebrities are known by one name only, and E-Trade is using that knowledge to profit," Lohan's lawyer, Stephanie Ovadia, said in a statement to the New York Post. "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."

I watched it, and think she has NO CASE of anything except young Hollywood narcissism and an egocentric worldview. It has to be about her, who else could it be, right? Maybe filing the suit was just another sure way of making a tabloid headline and keeping her irrelevant name in front of the world another day.

Right on RIP ! I will add -too many lawyers chasing too few $$$$ .Textbook- Frivolous! I heard today is she loses ,she has to pay the law fees for the defendant.

[Jana]

She may not have a case, but when I saw it, the first thing I thought of was they were alluding to Lindsey.

[stevew2]

aint she a crack whore?

Hope she does. Watching that commercial, I never would have connected it with her. If anytime she hears (fill in the blank)aholic + Lindsey and immediately thinks it refers to her, she's the one making that association. This is the same self-centered psycho who said "Al Gore will help me" regarding her media image problems.

That coke head needs to go away.

Although she is a repugnant dyke crackhead muff diving carpetmuncher, she indeed may have a case, as Jana said. Celebs have rights in their own names and they can't be used without permission to derive a profit. Don't be so quick to say she doesn't have a case. What a bitch though.

[Don]

If the marketing team did indeed have a worker in the office with that name combined with the fact that Lindsey is a popular baby name, Lohan's case won't be easy. Now if the boy baby had been a lesbian baby instead, then you might have something.

[lights1961]

she is a cry baby... please, like it was a mental stress for her.... SHE IS STUPID and an attention whore...as its all about her... and even when it isnt it is about her...or at least she likes to think so.

[brandonx76]

She's nucking futs - and a completely near talentless narcissist...hot tho

Explain to me how E-trade is deriving a profit from the name in the commercial, and I'll give you your point....otherwise, can it!

You can't use a celebrity's image, name, or likeness without her consent in order to entice people to use your product/service. It's not a slam dunk for her like it would be if they cropped her talking head onto the baby's body or something obvious like that, but she might have a case.

If the baby had red hair, I think she MIGHT have had a pretty good case. No red hair, unless I'm colorblind.

I think some hot shot LA lawyer wants 10%!!

and they both must have been drunk when they decided a lawsuit made sense! In what world is HER first name some kind of household name?? She damaged her career to the point where I even forget she exists. And is she the only drunk in the world that we should think of her when we hear that name? If we do, then what an accomplishment for her to be proud of

[StevePerryHair]

And you know, the funniest thing is, had I seen this commercial before this I NEVER would have thought of her. But now who will the whole world think of?? Even my 16 year old heard this story. Maybe she wanted publicity for a dying or dead career.

So, will we feel bad for Lindsay when her eventual drug overdose death prompts the media to draw the murky line between suicide and just a plain loser addict, or will we call a spade a spade?

It's not HER name, it's A name that SHE was given that MANY had before her, and a very common one at that. She has NO case. She is full of shit (and various other substances, most of which are illegal). She is just another selfish, bratty, self-obsessed, self-righteous, self-loving, (self-etc.) coked up attention whore who thinks she owns the world. If she wins this case, all hope is gone for our society.

"The E-Trade commercial that spurred Lindsay Lohan to take legal action may have been influenced by the hard pAArtying starlet after all!

An Esquire magazine reporter got an inside look at the Grey Group's ad-making process and obtained the notes made while brainstorming for the commercial. The baby named Lindsay in question was originally named Deborah!

But the notes showed Deborah crossed out with Lindsay added instead as well as a bunch of descriptions on the same page including, "gutter hound," "fish face," "rug burn," and "skanky cake."

We like that last one, but as you know they settled on "milkaholic" for the Super Bowl spot.

Lindsay's mom Dina was mortified by the notes saying:

"We think it's obvious. [The notes are] horrific. This just proves our point. Oh my goodness, I can't even read this, it's so disgusting."

"Well if it was based on La Loca E-Trade wasn't completely off-base, were they? That's LiLo's image right now whether she likes it or not."

So now when we hear those words, we are supposed to think of Lindsay Lohan too? Amazing how her mom could read those and know right away it was her daughter they were describing

How the hell did they obtain these notes?!?

"we think it's obvious"... really Dina? You're really telling us that it's obvious your daughter is a skanky cake gutter hound? You're telling us that it's obvious that those words on a paper are OF COURSE referring to your daughter? Nice.

This is about the dumbest crap I have hear in a long time.

It wasn't all that long ago that the name Lindsay was ranked in the top 100 on the social security list of name popularity. Give me a break.

Maybe Etrade changed the name from Deborah because they found out the CEO's kid or wife was names Deborah... who knows. They used a COMMON first name. They have NO case here.

Exactly -- it's the Lohans pushing the connotations, and hurting themselves in the process. Just another way to play victim and grab another headline.

[caricalvados]

I don't see her as a "first name only" celebrity. Come on, she is not Cher, Prince etc by any means. She needs to get over herself.
