...did you think of this?:
Neither did I. But, amazingly, one person did: Lindsay Lohan.
NEW YORK (Reuters Life!) - The actress Lindsay Lohan has sued E*Trade Financial Corp for $100 million, saying a "milkaholic" baby girl who appeared in a recent commercial was modeled after her.
Lohan alleged that online brokerage's use in the ad the girl, also named Lindsay, improperly invoked her "likeness, name, characterization, and personality" without permission, violating her right of privacy.
In her lawsuit filed Monday in a Nassau County, New York state court, the 23-year-old actress sought $50 million of compensatory damages and $50 million of exemplary damages. She also demanded that E*Trade stop running the ad and turn over all copies to her.
E*Trade's spokeswoman declined to comment. My personal guess is she couldn't comment, because she was laughing too hard.
Really, Lindsay? Are you that self-absorbed that you think anyone using the name "Lindsay" (or Lindsey, since in the ad it is spoken and not actually typed out for any kind of verification) and jokingly referencing addiction is basing the character and depiction on you?
Or are you just suing because you're low on coke money?
