Lohan sues E-Trade; Betty White to host SNL

UPDATE!! Lindsay Lohan is suing the financial company E-Trade, insisting that a boyfriend-stealing, "milkaholic" baby in its latest commercial -- who happens to be named Lindsay -- was modeled after her. And she wants $100 million for her pain and suffering. The New York Post has the full story. OK, so Lohan has to admit that the word  "Lindsay" itself just lends itself to a sense of resentment and hatred. Just say it with a slow growl and put some emphasis on the second syllable. Try it... See?! Cube told ya! Watch the now infamous TV ad. (Cube just can't stop laughing at how lil' Lindsay pops in at the end with "Milk-a-WHAT?!"):
