Celeb Lawsuits
Lindsay Lohan v. E*Trade
While a young Lindasy Lohan professed her tendency to "
go ape for new Jell-O grape" in a childhood commercial, the actress recently went bananas over another commercial. Lohan was not pleased with an E*Trade Financial Super Bowl ad, featuring one of their signature talking babies named Lindsay, touted as a "
milkaholic." In the spot, which the 23-year-old filed a $100 million suit over on March 9, a baby love triangle goes sour when little Lindsay comes into the picture. Shortly after it aired on February 7, Lohan asked her Twitter followers, "
Did that just happen? On that commercial? Or am I wrong?" and soon
said to a friend, "hahahaha vitamin D never
tasted so good!" Lohan claims the company is in violation of using her "name and characterization" for their business
without paying her or getting her approval, according to TMZ. Not so, said E*Trade: "We believe the claims are
without merit and we intend to defend ourselves vigorously in this case." But Lohan's father, Michael, came to his daughter's rescue on
Geraldo at Large Sunday. "It's time that Lindsay and other people that are in the media
put their foot down," Lohan's dad said.
