Apparently the Mean Girls star is asking for £67million in damages for the advert, which was screened during the SuperBowl, in which a “milkaholic” baby called Lindsay appears. According to the actress’ lawyers the advert is parodying the star’s propensity to end up in a rehab. Really? In a statement Lindsay’s legal team said:
"Many celebrities are known by one name only, and E-Trade is using that knowledge to profit. They used the name Lindsay. They use her name as a parody of her life. Everybody’s talking about it and saying it’s Lindsay Lohan.”
The firm behind the ad say they could’ve been referring to any old Lindsay (it’s not exactly an uncommon name unlike many other celebrity names – such as Sting, Madonna etc – we have to agree) and they also claims that “Lindsay” just “happened to be the name of someone” in their “account team.”
Personally we think this lawsuit is pretty ridiculous but Click Here to watch the advert and make-up your own mind.
Anyway, speaking of ridiculous we actually spotted trout pout Lohan out last night in Paris at the afterparty for the Castelbajac catwalk show, where we also saw Dita Von Teese and her fella Count Louis Marie de Castelbajac (son of designer Jean-Charles de Castelbajac).
