Lindsay Lohan Sues for $100M Over 'Milkaholic' Commercial
Categories: In The News
Email ThisMadonna, Cher, Oprah and Beyonce may be on a first-name-only basis with the world, but is Lindsay Lohan?
The "Mean Girls" actress thinks so, and now the tabloid fixture is suing E-Trade, saying a baby referred to as "that milkaholic, Lindsay" in its new commercial is a jab to her -- and that the financial company should pony up $100 million for damages, the New York Post reports.
The Post says Lohan, 23, filed a lawsuit this week in Nassau County Supreme Court in New York over the commercial, part of a series of ads featuring talking babies that was first shown during the Super Bowl.
Lohan's mother, Dina, tells the Post her daughter sobbed when she saw the ad during the game.
"She said, 'Mommy, help me. This is wrong. How can they do this?' " Dina Lohan tells the newspaper.

Wowwwww, get over yourself Lindsay Lohan. What if they did use the name Susan? You could say why didn't they use the name Lindsay. This is so pathetic, just because you ruined your career and are trashy doesn't mean you need to profit off of it. In fact, you would be the last person I would EVER think of after seeing that commercial. Way to ruin it bitch.

i kinda feel sorry for lindsay...espeacially if she is on perscription drugs like her father says...i mean if you think about it drugs are drugs whether they are prescribed to you or not...sometimes the prescribed ones are worse for they are not synthetic or fake its the real deal and regardless of anything its going to alter your mind whereas a street drug may not even be what you think it is...i do think she is out there on something and needs help but jail time is not what she needs...jail is a place for someone to keep a person who has done wrong and lindsay has done nothing wrong...she needs a person who does not do drugs to be a friend to her not all these celeb attics that she thinks are her friends...im not sure about her mother and i would act out if people talked shit about my mom jus the same....

The first time I saw this commercial I laughed my butt off...but I must of missed something cuz I didn't think of Lindsay Lohen when I heard the Milkaholic comment. Now I do because she planted it in my head. I wish she didn't do it...it was sweet and funny without her being in it.
