Celebrity Slam - 031010 by Allen Adams edge staff writer aadams@themaineedge.com Got milk? How about a lawsuit? Fresh off her disastrous debut in the fashion world, Lindsay Lohan has made yet another questionable decision. One that once again plants her squarely in the spotlight for no reason other than the fact that she's a sad hot mess. This time, she's taking on the folks at E-Trade. Lohan has filed a $100 million lawsuit against the company. She claims that the company's Super Bowl ad, part of their creepily adorable talking baby campaign, encroached upon the "Lohan brand" by naming the boyfriend-stealing "milkaholic" in the ad Lindsay. She's asking for $50 million in exemplary damages and another $50 in compensatory damages. Wow. How delusional can you get? Seriously, LiLo. Get over yourself. Despite what you have been led to believe, it's occasionally not about you. What kind of insane dream-world are you living in? Do you really think the E-Trade braintrust sat around and said "You know, this ad would be perfect if we busted on Lindsay Lohan"? They're finance guys; they probably don't even know who you are. And not for nothing, but even if they did intend for the ad to mock you (highly doubtful), do you really think you deserve $100 million? Just because that's what Oprah would get doesn't mean it's what you get. And who knows? They may very well have been making fun of you, not that you'll ever prove it. Too bad. If you didn't want to be the subject of mockery and derision, maybe you shouldn't have spent the last five years turning yourself into an anthropomorphized Hollywood punchline/cautionary tale. Oscar oversight The Academy Awards ceremony was held this past weekend, and as per tradition, at one point during the ceremony, a video montage of all the Hollywood types who have passed away in the past year was run in memoriam. And as per tradition, some people were omitted. This year, the biggest omissions were Farrah Fawcett and Bea Arthur. And while the occasional mistake has to be expected - no one is perfect, after all - forgetting those two ladies seems like an even bigger oversight than usual. Even worse is the Academy's unapologetic stance on the matter, refusing to even acknowledge that a mistake was made, saying simply "I would not say there was an oversight. No matter how carefully and how conscientiously people address who is included, there are people who simply can't be. It is impossible to include everybody." And yet, Michael Jackson made the cut. Look, no one is saying that either Farrah or Bea should have kept someone else out. But both of those women were significant parts of Hollywood history, and while they were known primarily for their iconic TV work, both spent some time on the big screen as well. They deserved inclusion. And to not even apologize? Or even admit there was an oversight? For shame. The arrogance of these people. So television is good enough to air your show, but not good enough for you to include a pair of true icons who passed away. Much better to say goodbye to a whole lot of people the average viewer either doesn't remember or never heard of in the first place. Nice move, Oscar. Way to keep it classy. Asshats. Looking for love in all the wrong places Anybody out there remember D'Angelo? Yeah - didn't think so. The R&B singer, known more for his late '90s nigh-constant shirtlessness more than anything else, is back in the headlines. Alas, probably not for the reasons he might have hoped. It seems that the singer was driving around Greenwich Village on Saturday night when he saw a woman, pulled up to her and offered her $40 for sex. Instead, he was arrested for patronizing a prostitute. Whoops. There's always something hilarious about famous people getting busted for picking up hookers, but this one is something special. You've got the washed-up has-been aspect to it; always funny. But the greatest part is the fact that he only offered $40. Now, I'm not sure what the going rate is for this sort of thing, but $40 seems low. Is that the best you can do, D'Angelo? Have these tough economic times come to haunt even you? Whatever, man. At least now the few remaining people who remember you have confirmation that you're not dead. I suppose that's something.
