OK, this pretty much epitomizes the self-centered celebrity image.
Lindsay Lohan is suing E-Trade over that Super Bowl ad where the babies are talking about stock trading and that one baby calls another baby named Lindsay a "milkaholic" and OBVIOUSLY THIS IS ABOUT LINDSAY LOHAN.
For realz, you guys. She's suing for $100M -- that's $50 million in compensatory damages and $50 million of exemplary damages. The lawsuit also demanded that E-Trade stop running the ad and turn over all copies to her.
The suit claims the character of baby Lindsay improperly invoked her "likeness, name, characterization and personality" without permission, violating her right of privacy.
Lohan's lawyer, Stephanie Ovadia, tells the New York Post: "Many celebrities are known by one name only, and E-Trade is using that knowledge to profit. They used the name Lindsay. 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."
Jesus Christ. IT'S NOT LIKE THEY NAMED THE BABY OMAROSA.
Chris Brown, a spokesman for Grey Group, which produced the spot, says it "just used a popular baby name that happened to be the name of someone on the account team."
WOAH. Either it's already April 1st or E-Trade has already paid Lindsay Lohan for the publicity this lawsuit is going to create for them, because this is complete and total madness. It's like my entire job to keep an eye on what people are saying and thinking about Lindsay Lohan, and this is the very first I've heard of this. THIS IS RIDICULOUS, LINDSAY. YOU'RE NOT EVEN THAT RELEVANT ANYMORE.
Get a fucking job.
In other, sort of stranger news -- and let me be clear that I DO NOT WANT TO HAVE SEX WITH A BABY -- but I'm kind of turned on by the voice of the douchebag behind the trader baby. Even though I know he's a douchebag who's going to cheat on me and pretend that he can fix it by buying me a nice purse and taking me to a fancy dinner where he'll wear an overpriced douchebag suit and talk about the stock market and check his cell phone for text messages every ten minutes until he finally just takes it out of his pocket and sets it on the table and interrupts me to answer it and talk with a client about the football game last night and even the gay waiter kind of rolls his eyes and glances at me like "You're really gonna put up with this bullshit?" and then I will go home with him that night and have sex with him even though I will spend most of that experience with my head turned aside, rolling my eyes and wishing I could be texting during this bullshit, and he will ask me in the morning if I'll make him a bowl of cereal and I will do that and when I bring it to him he will be on his cell phone talking about the stock market. I WANT THAT.
Why are women so stupid? It's probably because we all have to share a chromosome with Lindsay Lohan. />

Hurt Locker producer Nicolas Chartier, who was banned from the Oscars ceremony for "aggressive campaigning" -- he emailed Academy voters and urged them to vote for his tiny indie flick rather than the “$500M film” James Cameron made -- watched the ceremony at a small party in a tent in Malibu. When his film won, he gave a long, long heavily accented speech. You can watch it above.
I do wish that all award winners were given a little more time to accept their awards. Nothing pains me more than seeing, like, three dudes win for best sound mixing, and two of them get to thank their wives and children and the directors and producers and then the other one is just left standing there, his crowning life achievement cut short, while the band plays him off. I was especially annoyed last night when the rich and famous people got up on stage and helped the other rich and famous people -- aka Best Actor and Best Actress nominees -- masturbate for half an hour. WTF did we need to do that for? The poor sound mixer guys could have all thanked their wives like 800 times in the space it took for yet another person to tell Meryl Streep that she's brilliant. Even Meryl Streep was annoyed, I think.
I love you more than rainbows, you guys. />

"I work in a really superficial industry. I mean, I am getting Google Alerts saying, 'You look good with the weight gain.' They don't realize they're being mean by saying you look good fatter. It's enough to drive any girl a little crazy. But it's okay. What can I say? There's nothing I can do about it."

For most people, the idea of working with an ex-love is a complete nightmare. Even after the drama is over, years later, it would probably just feel weird to be working alongside someone that you used to bone and "share something" with. Cameron Diaz doesn't have that attitude when it comes to teaming back up with her ex, Justin Timberlake in their new movie, Bad Teacher.
Yesterday on the Oscar red carpet, Cameron had nothing but nice things to say about her ex and co-star:
