E*Trade Toyed With Nastier Names Than 'Milkaholic'

Lindsay Lohan should be happy the baby wasn't called 'skanky cake'

(NEWSER) - Lindsay Lohan is none too pleased—to the tune of a $100 million lawsuit —about the E*Trade commercial featuring a talking “milkaholic” baby named Lindsay, but it could have been worse.

E*Trade Fires Back at Coke Sniffing 'Train Wreck' LiLo

In response to LiLo’s $100 million lawsuit against the company for defaming her in a commercial, E*Trade filed hundreds of pages to prove Lohan lives in Hollywood—not Long Island, where she filed the case.

Paris Hilton Beer Ad Too Naughty for Brazil

Heiress' behavior actually tame, but ad that may be pulled

(NEWSER) - Apparently Brazil hasn't seen many photos of Paris Hilton, because an official has objected to a commercial that's surprisingly tame—for her. View the ad for Devassa beer, which features a fully clothed Hilton vamping provocatively in a high-rise window, in the gallery. For the sake of contrast, you can also watch a bikini-clad Hilton washing a car and eating a burger…an ad Brazil’s Secretariat for Women’s Affairs must not have seen. More»

LiLo Sued Over Fake Tanner

Chemist says formula is stolen

(NEWSER) - Lindsay Lohan’s latest career venture has hit a speed bump, the St. Petersburg Times reports: A Florida chemist is suing Lohan for allegedly stealing her formula to create the actress’ sunless tanner.
