It wasn’t all that long ago that Paris Hilton, Britney Spears, Nicole Richie and Lindsay Lohan were reported to be a quartet of Hollywood celebrities partying nightly into the wee hours of the morning, boozing it up, smoking pot and snorting coke.
Lohan has managed to find an attorney who must have graduated last in his class at Bottomfeeder University School of Law. They have filed a $100 million dollar lawsuit against E-Trade, claiming that its comedic talking baby milk-aholic commercial mocked her by using her name without permission.
Used her name without permission? A Google search reveals that there are nearly 100,000 Lindseys in this country. And LiLo is no milk-aholic by any stretch of the imagination. Alcoholic, maybe. Doper, probably.
This lawsuit doesn't have a snowball’s chance in hell of getting anywhere. It’s almost as laughable as that talking baby commercial Lohan seems so upset about. E-Trade should file a counter-suit against Lohan and her dippy lawyer for harassment!
TATTLE: BABY IN E-TRADE AD DRAWS LAWSUIT FROM LI-LO

THE STRANGE, TWISTED saga of Lindsay Lohan and her dysfunctional family would be terribly sad if LiLo didn't often do things that were incredibly funny.
Yesterday, for instance, it was reported by the New York Post that Lindsay has sued E-Trade [for $100 million], claiming that the milk-aholic baby in the company's latest talking-baby commercial was modeled after her.
How does she figure? Is she a talking baby?
Her attorney contends that "Lindsay" is an equally recognizable moniker for Lohan, on a par with Oprah or Madonna. Or Mandela, Ali or Pele.
Except Lindsay is an incredibly popular name. Just look at Facebook.
What about Fleetwood Mac's Lindsey Buckingham? Or Olympic gold medalist Lindsey Vonn? She's got strong bones and probably is a milk-aholic.
If that E-Trade baby were litigious, she would sue Lindsay Lohan for defamation of character.
