Lindsay Lohan is suing the financial company E-Trade, claiming the boyfriend-stealing, "milkaholic" baby in their Super Bowl commercials was modeled after her.Click HERE to view papers. The suit was filed in Nassau County Supreme Court in New York on Monday and the actress/socialite is asking for $100 million for her "pain and suffering." The commercial shows a talking baby boy trying to convince his baby girlfriend that he wasn't hanging out with a "milkaholic Lindsay" the night before. "Lindsay?" says the boy as a baby girl's head pops up and slurs "Milk-a-what?" The papers filed state that the advertisements titled "The E*Trade Baby is Back" and "E-Trade Baby Girlfriend Super Bowl Commercial 2010" resemble "a likeness of plaintiff in the form of her name, characterization and personality."

Lindsay Lohan Suing Over E-Trade Ad
by Tracee on Mar.09, 2010, under Celebrity Gossip
According to the New York Post, Lindsay Lohan is suing the financial company E-Trade over an ad that uses her name.
The ad is two babies talking via computer; the girl baby is upset about the boy baby not calling the night before. She asks if he was spending time with another "milkaholic" baby named Lindsay.
Lindsay's lawyer explained the lawsuit to the Post:
"Many celebrities are known by one name only, and E-Trade is using that knowledge to profit," Ovadia said.
"They used the name Lindsay," Ovadia said. "They're using her name as a parody of her life. Why didn't they use the name Susan? This is a subliminal message. Everybody's talking about it and saying it's Lindsay Lohan."
Apparently Lindsay wants the ad taken off the air and $100 million: $50 million for exemplary damages and another $50 million for compensatory damages.
E-trade claims Lindsay is a popular baby name and is the name of someone on their account team.
The lawyer cites celebrities like Madonna and Oprah who are known on a first name basis. I see one problem with this: Lindsay is a much more common name than either Madonna or Oprah.
Take a look at the commercial:
