Lindsay Lohan is feuding with the E-Trade babies.
The actress has filed a $US100 million lawsuit claiming a
television ad for the Wall Street firm that aired during the
Super Bowl and Olympics was modelled after her.
Talking babies in the ad engage in chatter that refers to
"milkaholic Lindsay." The 23-year-old actress has famously
sought substance abuse treatment.
Lohan's name was never mentioned. But her New York lawyer
contends that "Lindsay" is an equally recognizable moniker
for her client - like that of Oprah or Madonna.
Lohan's legal team is seeking an injunction to stop future
airings.
An E-Trade spokeswoman is declining to comment.
