Lindsay Lohan is all about repairing her image, and that means you better not say her name!
Lohan is suing rapper Pitbull for the use of her name in his recent number one single, co-written by Ne-Yo, ‘Give Me Everything.’
In the song, Pitbull raps, “Hustlers move aside, so I’m tiptoeing, keep flowin’/I got it locked up like Lindsay Lohan.” The suit claims, “The lyrics, by virtue of its wide appeal, condemnation, excoriation, disparaging or defamatory statements by the defendants about the plaintiff are destined to do irreparable harm to the plaintiff.”
TMZ obtained the legal documents, which go on to suggest that Lindsay Lohan is “a professional actor of good repute and standing in the Screen Actors Guild.” Lawyers for the actress state that she is suing under “the New York civil rights laws, which protects people from having their name exploited for commercial purposes.”
The suit is seeking an injunction to stop the broadcasting of the song, and also unspecified damages.
How should the judge rule in this case?
