When You Know Your Career is REALLY in the Toilet...

Welcome Back, Cupcakes. Or rather, welcome back to me. I have been 'on hiatus' for the past few months due to a whirlwind of activities that have occurred in my personal life - most of it, bad.

But I digress.
After having more than a few months to reflect on life as it is, I have a whole slew of things to write about - so here's hoping I will have a good, fresh start.

So the latest thing that has been wracking my brain has been this Lindsay Lohan lawsuit that is going on with e*trade. Unfamiliar? Check out this link:

I love how in the beginning of the article, it even says that the baby in the commercial bears no resemblance to Ms. Lohan but yet, because her name is Lindsay, it's GOTTA BE her. According to her lawyer, Lindsay has the same single-name recognition as 'Oprah' or 'Cher.'
Oh really? Does this mean that no one in media can even utter the name 'Lindsay' ever again for fear of getting sued because you must be referring to Lindsay Lohan?

It's all laughable really - is her career that much in the toilet (you betcha) that you have to sue over a talking baby named 'Lindsay?' What's worst is that she supposedly cried over it to her mother.

Reality check - I can honestly say that when I saw that commercial, I did not link the Lindsay baby with Lindsay Lohan. I was more focused on the 'milk-a-holic' part. And the fact that it was another e*trade commerical. And wondering where the other e*trade commercial was with all the little girls and 'Daniel' (that they showed on the 'Today' show).

What's even more baffling to me is this: Is Ms. Lohan's lawyer SERIOUS? Or do you think she's secretly rolling her eyes and laughing behind her client's back thinking 'This girl is delusional.'
I like to think the latter because no person in their right mind would think this is a plausible claim.
Get off your high-horse Lindsay - you're a failed actress and a failed fashion designer (let's not even go there, Ungaro) - not everything is about you.
