Perhaps the reason she feels she is entitled to sue E*Trrade is because the Lindsay baby is the "milkaholic" in the commercial, which represents her purported, publicly discussed alcoholic problems. But, really, even if it does, how could she possibly make this suit stand? After all, unlike those other one-name icons, there are many other famous (as well as not-so-famous) Lindsays in the world!
How Many Famous Lindsays are There?

How Many Lindsay Lohans are There?
Using the search tool in Howmanyofme.com, I discovered that there is only ONE person named Lindsay Lohan in the United States!
So, even though she is the one and only Lindsay Lohan, it is obvious that Ms. Lohan is NOT the only Lindsay. My advice for her would be to drop this silly lawsuit with E*Trade, because if she doesn't, she is as ditzy as the media makes her out to be. Lindsay Lohan will never be famous enough to be a one name celebrity like Elvis, Madonna or Cher, even if there's a remote chance that she is a milkaholic! Oh, and who is the E*Trade Lindsay? Who knows? There are too many of 'em!

Post a CommentThanks, Jan!
She need to get over herself!!
Gooszilla Lives!!
She does need a source of income. Her movie career is pretty much in the tank ... unless she's thinking porn. Hope not.
I have never seen Lindsay Lohan in anything and don't plan on it, if I can help it. Thanks for the article, though. Will the real Lindsay please pass out on the floor?
Good article. I think she needs to chill. She doesn't need more negative publicity.
I agree. Makes me wonder why she needs the money or is it that she needs publicity?
