			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Lindsay Lohan is suing the financial company E-Trade, insisting that a boyfriend-stealing, &#8220;milkaholic&#8221; baby in its latest commercial &#8212; who happens to be named Lindsay &#8212; was modeled after her. And she wants $100 million for her pain and suffering.</p>
<p>The actress filed a lawsuit yesterday in Nassau County Supreme Court over the commercial that debuted during the Super Bowl this year.</p>
<p>The ad  part of a series starring babies who play the stock market &#8212; features a boy apologizing to his girlfriend via video chat for not calling her the night before.</p>
<p>&#8220;And that milkaholic Lindsay wasn&#8217;t over?&#8221; the baby girl asks him suspiciously.<br />
<object width="500" height="505"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/lEXZ2hfD3bU&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;color1=0xcc2550&#038;color2=0xe87a9f"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/lEXZ2hfD3bU&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;color1=0xcc2550&#038;color2=0xe87a9f" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="500" height="505"></embed></object></p>
<p>&#8220;Lindsay?&#8221; the boy replies, just before a baby girl sticks her head into the frame and slurs, &#8220;Milk-a-what?&#8221;</p>
<p>Lohan&#8217;s lawyer, Stephanie Ovadia, said the actress has the same single-name recognition as Oprah or Madonna.</p>
<p>&#8220;Many celebrities are known by one name only, and E-Trade is using that knowledge to profit,&#8221; Ovadia said.</p>
<p>&#8220;They used the name Lindsay,&#8221; Ovadia said. &#8220;They&#8217;re using her name as a parody of her life. Why didn&#8217;t they use the name Susan? This is a subliminal message. Everybody&#8217;s talking about it and saying it&#8217;s Lindsay Lohan.&#8221;</p>
<p>Ovadia wants an injunction to force the spot off the air, and the Lindsay camp wants every last copy of the commercial.</p>
<p>Chris Brown, a spokesman for Grey Group, which produced the spot, is throwing cold milk on the controversy, saying it &#8220;just used a popular baby name that happened to be the name of someone on the account team.&#8221;</p>
<p>Ovadia said E-Trade has violated Lohan&#8217;s rights under New York state civil-rights law and used her &#8220;name and characterization&#8221; in business without paying her or getting her approval.</p>
<p>The lawyer said that since the spot was seen by hundreds of millions of people watching the Super Bowl and Winter Olympics finals, the firm has garnered great profits.</p>
<p>She says Lohan is owed $50 million in exemplary damages, plus another $50 million in compensatory damages.</p>
