Lindsay Lohan is suing online stock trading company E*TRADE to the tune of a hundred million because of a commercial spot about (what else?) babies who are diversifying their portfolios, cheating on their baby girlfriends, and dealing with milkaholism. Trouble.

The spot features one baby dude convincing his baby fly honey that he stood her up because he was diversifying his portfolio, not because "that milkaholic Lindsay" was over.

TMZ reports Lohan filed suit in the Nassau County, NY, claiming her "name and characterization" were used without her consent. Her lawyer didn't comment on the "milkaholic" part, claiming it's the name that's a lawbreaker and it doesn't matter that her last name wasn't mentioned.

"Do you know the name Oprah? Do you know the name Madonna? Same thing." said her lawyer, Stephanie Ovadia told TMZ.

...my two cents? No, it really isn't. But two thumbs up on trying to make a buck off your "milkaholic" reputation!

Why couldn't it have been a refrence to Lindsay Vaughn? Vaughn is nuch more timely/relevant. But I have a bigger question: What has this to do with the topics of interest to the readers of Irish Central? Seems you guys are desperate to find things to write about. Maybe you need to get out more into the Irish community.

"Do you know the name Oprah? Do you know the name Madonna? Same thing." said her lawyer, Stephanie Ovadia told TMZ. I'm sorry, but I've seen that commercial and never once thought of this pathetic chick. Sorry, but her name ISN'T synonymous with Oprah or Madonna. Give me a break!

Well, I don't know if Lindsay will win this one, but I don't like the companies using babies in this way. I think their awful commercials.
