Lindsay Lohan Thinks This Baby Is Actually Her
Can someone please smack some sense into Lindsay Lohan? The unemployed actress is suing Etrade for $100 million dollars because she thinks the“milkaholic” baby girl is modeled after her. Lohan filed a lawsuit yesterday in Nassau County alleging that the online brokerage’s use in the ad of the girl, also named Lindsay, improperly invoked used her“likeness, name, characterization, and personality” without permission, violating her right of privacy.
Linds–stop, stop–just stop– right now. I can’t take this chic! She is just so far gone. I’ve seen this commercial so many times and guess what? I never thought WOW That Reminds Me Of Lindsay Lohan. I am surprise she even got a lawyer to take the case. Besides that how many Lindsay are there? You got it too many to count. In a recent interview Lindsay admitted to her addictions.
“It is clear to me that my life has become completely unmanageable because I am addicted to alcohol and drugs.”
Just to give you guys a quick recap of the ad it goes like this:
A baby boy is apologizing to his girlfriend via video chat for not calling her the night before because he was on E*Trade diversifying his funds. The camera pans to the girl who asks “And that milkaholic Lindsay wasn’t over?”
It then switches back to the boy, who uneasily replies “Lindsay?” before another baby girl, presumably Lindsay Lohan, moves into the frame and asks, “Milk-a-what?”
In case you were wondering where the $100 million came from (because Lohan is not worth that much at least not now) here is the breakdown. The 23-year-old actress seeks $50 million for compensatory damages and $50 million for exemplary damages. She also demanded that E*Trade stop running the ad and turn over all copies to her. Yea right.

Watch Pacman Jones Make It Rain On Them Hoes
It’s pretty safe to say that MOST of us never seen rain fall from the skies like this. When Adam “Pacman” Jones once had a secure job in the NFL back in 2007, the fool went off on a tantrum making it rain so much that the storm came through and put a halt to his short NFL career.
In 2007, the 25-year-old was in Las Vegas at a strip club and took $100,000 in singles in a book bag and literally made it rain on some hoes. Apparently, the incident caused a fight in which Pacman punched a stripper in the face 3 times and allegedly ordered a shooting out in the front of the club, which led to a stri club manager being paralyzed from the waist down. On April 21, a document revealed that Jones paid $15,000 in extortion money to try to cover up the incident. DAMN…the strippers picked up more cash then that off the stage in 20 minutes. Someone was getting jipped!
Well, the video was just released and we have to admit…he really really REALLY was making it rain.

Perez Puncher Gets Slapped With Lawsuit
Perez needs to let it go. He started a fight and he lost it, let’s not abuse our legal system with frivolous lawsuits. Perez Hilton the attention whore that he is, is suing Polo Molina the road manager for the Black Eyed Peas for $25,000. In the lawsuit Molina is being sued for intentional infliction of emotional distress and batter.
Molina voluntarily turned himself in on Monday to the Toronto cops and was charged with assault. Hilton has hired an attorney Bryan Freedman and released a statement regarding the lawsuit.
“Perez Hilton files this lawsuit to protect his freedom of speech and seeks legal redress against those who have physically assaulted him because they do not like his review of their album. Whether you love Perez or hate him, he is entitled to his freedom of speech without fear of physical violence. This lawsuit will make the statement that violence is never the answer.
Molina is due back in court on August 5. Since Hilton has apologized to the gay community for his homophobic slurs maybe an apology by Molina will do?

Cindy Crawford’s Husband Sued For Being Too Touchy
Rande Gerber the husband of Supermodel Cindy Crawford is being sued by his former employees. According to the lawsuit that was originally filed in March, Shelly Scott and Gillian Walker a pair of waitresses claimed that they were fired from After Midnight a company owned by Gerber for refusing to give in to the sexual advances of Gerber and other managers where they worked.
Back in 2008 one of the woman claimed that while working at the Moonstone Lounge in San Diego Gerber attempted to kiss her and he also “put his hand up her dress in between her legs in an attempt to fondle her crotch.” Disgusting. The Gerber Group spokesman released the following statement: “These allegations were previously investigated and shown to be baseless, the lawsuit has no merit.”
The women are reportedly suing for unspecified damages (aka a ton of money).
Gerber’s Touchy Feely History
In 2004 a waitress by the name of Harmony Kubiak who also happened to work for Gerber’s W Hotel in New Orleans came public about her night out with him.
“Every time he came to the bar, we got more and more flirty, but everyone knew he was married to Cindy Crawford, and I never expected it to go beyond flirting”
Gerber met Kubian during one of her shifts and he got Kubiak excused from work early so that they could head to a strip club. Kubiak claimed she was kissing Gerber as she sat in his lap. He later invited her to his hotel room but after a hot and steamy making out session before Kubiak says she left.
“He was obviously disappointed, but he didn’t make a huge deal of it,” Kubiak said. “I’m afraid if Cindy is under the impression that she has a faithful husband and she’s his only intimate partner- then maybe she should have a reality check.” Gerber denied Kubiak’s claims of infidelity.
It looks like Cindy has a little cheater on her hands.

Queen Latifah Is A Lesbo?
The National Enquirer,,,(ehh hemm yes them) is claiming that Queen Latifah’s hidden lifestyle could be exposed because of 2 lawsuits from her former employees. Latifah’s former make-up artist and fashion stylist are suing for $1 million in unpaid salaries, according to court documents obtained by The ENQUIRER. The $1 million dollar lawsuit ransom is also supposedly for the two employees to keep their mouths shut regarding Latifah’s sexuality.
“Sources tell me the figure came from not only claimed makeup and hair treatments and consultations, but for the two women’s silence – a not-too-subtle hint at the long-rumored whispers about Queen Latifah’s alleged preference for women,” columnist Bill Zwecker wrote in the Chicago Sun-Times.
According to the suits, makeup artist Roxanna Floyd is seeking $700,000 for advising Queen Latifah on her CoverGirl line of cosmetics known as the “Queen Collection.”
Fashion stylist Susan Moses also claims Latifah owes her $150,000 for three years’ work on an intimate apparel wear called Curvation, plus another $150,000 for lost earnings as a stylist in the same three-year period.
The Queen has been dating her personal trainer Jeanette Jenkins for several years now but Latifah refuses to answer any questions regarding her sexuality.
“I don’t feel like I need to share my personal life and I don’t care if people think I’m gay or not. Assume whatever you want, you do it anyway.”
Latifah should just come out of the closet, we all know she is gay and its kinda cool to be gay nowadays.
