Lindsay Lohan Sues Pitbull


Actress/singer, Lindsay Lohan just sued Pitbull for a line in his "Give Me Everything" track, where pit said some derrogatory things about Lohan. The song by the way has sold 2 million copies, and the video on youtube has been viewed over a hundred million times. Below are the lines from the song, which also features Ne-Yo, Afrojack and Nayer.

"Hustlers move aside, so I'm tiptoeing, to keep flowing," Pitbull raps. I got it locked up like Lindsay Lohan/Put it on my life, baby/I make it feel right, baby." ("Give Me Everything")

Hmm! But I am thinking- is there not something like freedom of speech? I know Eminem said a lot of bad things about Christopher reeves even when the actor that played the Super-man character was down...till he died. And Eminem did the same thing for Micheal Jackson many times...till M.J died. I know rappers like 50 cent also make fun of other celebrities in his songs, so what is the big deal?

I can remember watching Lindsay in Mean Girls, and thinking what a fine young actress she was; and then a couple of years later, she started going from being labelled an alcholic, to a drug addict to a jail bird. I think she brought all these on her self...i still love her though.

 Read the full story below-

Lindsay Lohan has just sued the rapper Pitbull for a line in his mega-hit, "Give Me Everything," for a disparaging lyric about her. Lindsay is pissed, claiming in her lawsuit ... "the lyrics, by virtue of its wide appeal, condemnation, excoriation, disparaging or defamatory statements by the defendantsabout the plaintiff are destined to do irreparable harm to the plaintiff." Lindsay, who claims in the lawsuit she is "a professional actor of good repute and standing in the Screen Actors Guild, is suing under the New York civil rights laws, which protects people from having their name exploited for commercial purposes. Lindsay alleges the appearance of her name in the song "causes [Lindsay] to be associated and identified in connection with defendants." (TMZ)

Lohan -- who, it is noted in the suit, is "a professional actor of good repute and standing in the Screen Actors Guild" -- is suing under the New York civil-rights laws, which protects individuals from having their name exploited for commercial purposes. The suit seeks an injunction to stop all the defendants -- in addition to Pitbull, Ne-Yo and Afrojack, who wrote "Give Me Everything," are named -- from broadcasting the song. It also seeks unspecified damages. (MTV)
