Lindsay Lohan plans to sue ‘Grand Theft Auto’ maker for Cracken-esque characters

lohan1

Here are some photos of Lindsay Lohan, taken from her Instagram over the past week. She was doing a photo shoot (she claims) for Elle Indonesia, and then she was allegedly “cooking” and posting the gross food photos on Instagram as well. What in the world is in that casserole dish? It looks like cat barf covered in marshmallows. Ew. Anyway, Lindsay is scheming to get back in the headlines for something other than partying and/or relapsing. So, she’s decided to start suing people again. Remember when Lindsay just sued everyone who even dared breathe the name “Lindsay” in public? Well, that’s sort of happening again. According to TMZ, Lindsay is about to sue the makers of Grand Theft Auto. And yes, this is just about as dumb as you can get:

Lindsay Lohan has called in her lawyers to take action against ‘Grand Theft Auto V’ … claiming video game honchos jacked her image without her permission … TMZ has learned.

Sources tell us, Lohan’s lawyers are currently crafting a lawsuit — demanding Rockstar Games pay some serious money for using Lindsay’s image in the game.

So the question … did ‘GTAV’ really use Lindsay. Here’s the evidence:

— The video game cover shows a woman holding a cellphone who looks Lindsay-ish. There’s been debate over whether it looks more like Kate Upton or Shelby Welinder.

— Part of the game features a mission where a Lindsay Lohan look-alike asks the player to take her home and escape the paparazzi.

— Another part of the game shows another Lindsay-like character at a hotel resembling the Chateau Marmont hotel in West Hollywood — a place Lindsay not only frequents but once lived at — and the mission is to photograph her having sex on camera.

No word on whether ‘GTAV’ execs will pay Lindsay or tell her lawyers to pound sand.

[From TMZ]

Side-step the whole issue of the fact that Lindsay Lohan was actually an active participant in a real-life Grand Theft Auto (remember when she hijacked a car when she was all coked up?). The game doesn’t give these characters names. And having blonde famewhore-type characters in a video game isn’t enough because – let’s be honest – those women are a dime a dozen in LA (and NYC, and every major city). I’m including a photo of the selfie-taking character below… um, that’s not Lindsay. I would believe it was Kate Upton before I would believe it was The Cracken.

Anyway, I think it’s far more likely that Lindsay simply wants A) attention and B) a quick and easy settlement from Rockstar Games. I doubt she has much of a case, but if Rockstar Games wanted to fight it, it could take forever and they might think it’s just easier to pay her off with a low-ball (heh) settlement. Which she would then take and blow up her nose. Then she would steal another car and continue to LIVE the real-life Grand Theft Auto. The Circle of Life.

    This idiot.

    It looks like she cooked some sweet potatoes dish but your description is funnier. Lol.

  2. Kaya says:

    Come on, man. I know she’s not exactly the greatest person on Earth, but the header photo’s pretty nice. She looks good. The picture is sweet.

    My niceness also stems from the fact that I just re-watched The Parent Trap. Sigh. The good ol’ days.

    • Danny says:

      Really? I dont thinks she looks good. She looks a lot older than her age. I hope she can make a recovery though.

      • Mika says:

        She looks good for HER. Of course she looks older, all the fillers had aged her but ITA with Kaya, she looks good on the first picture.

    • TheOriginalKitten says:

      ITA completely Kaya..at least she’s doing something productive and staying away from cracking behind the driver’s wheel.

      She looks pretty in the picture and there’s nothing wrong with the dish she made-looks like a typical casserole to me.

      It does seem odd that she would be cooking with a face full of makeup but what do I know…

      • Tiffany :) says:

        I really wish I could be as kind as you guys…but I think frivolous lawsuits are destructive and are a burden to our justice system.

  3. GoodNamesAllTaken says:

    Lindsey, you flatter yourself.

  4. Elisabeth says:

    didn’t she lose this battle when she sued Pitbull? and he actually mentioned her by name in his song

    • Mata says:

      Yeah, but remember when e-Trade named the milkaholic baby, “Lindsay”? That was the most ridiculous lawsuit and she never would have won, but they settled with her rather than spend any more time or money on the issue. She’s probably just hoping for an easy pay off.

  5. Aussie girl says:

    I’m going with B) on this one. She wants some quick easy cash.

  6. Anna says:

    So instead of working she just wants to make money by using people for ridiculous reasons..

  7. eliza says:

    But of course Hohan, EVERYTHING in the entire universe is about you.

    I guess when you are an umemployed attention whore the next best way to earn money is by suing. Good luck!

  8. Frida_K says:

    Her arm looks dirty and bruised, and that does look like a vat of cat barf covered marshmallows.

    Just another day in the life of the Cracken.

    Crack-a-lacka-ding-dong.

  9. Erinn says:

    Told the fiance this story last night. He glanced over, snorted, “She wishes” and went back to watching the homeland he’d downloaded..

    Honestly though, it’s such a generic looking woman. It looks more like Carmen Electrica, or a thin Kirstie Alley than Lohan. It’s just a generic blonde startlet image.

  10. Ninks says:

    Ha, Lohan wishes she looked as good as the GTA character.

    The sad thing is that a some stage in the past, somebody must have coughed up dough to make these ridiculous law suits go away and now she thinks that everybody will if she just threatens to sue them.

  11. poppy says:

    how much longer before she’s depicted as an easy, addicted, washed up and litigious flake?
    the only way she’ll win one of these lawsuits is if they insinuate she’s smart.

  12. mia girl says:

    I’ll add C) she’s jealous that the GTAV animated woman gets more work than her.

  13. doofus says:

    the bf played this game ad nauseum when he first got it, and NOT ONCE did I say, “oh, that character has to be based on Lindsay Lohan.”

    looks more like a budget Kate Hudson to me.

    And I hope the game company tells her to pound sand. there is NO WAY that this claim would hold up in court, and Rock Star Games has a lot more expendable income than Lindsay does if it does go the way of a court case. if she loses, she might have to pay their court/lawyer costs, too.

    such a shame…reduced to suing people to make a living (not much better than hooking)…and this is the girl who wanted to win an Oscar by 30?…

  14. amr says:

    The double chin and saggy tits are a dead ringer for Lindsay. GTA could have some fun with this, but I doubt it will ever get that far.

  15. L says:

    She’s delirious. No one cares about her anymore, and she wishes she looked as good as that animation. Fresh skin, cute body. Common now LiLo

    Frankly, I agree that it looks like Kate Upton (maybe with a tinge of Emma Stone thrown in) Side by side with the Kate Upton SI pic.

  16. Nicolette says:

    I don’t see her at all, I see Kate Upton. And I think that casserole is supposed to be sweet potatoes.

  17. Hello Kitty says:

    Anyone else see Mandy Moore?

  18. judyjudy says:

    Sad.

  19. matia says:

    My husband says this part of the game more making fun miley cyrus. The blond girl doesn’t even look like lohan

  20. Mia4S says:

    Damn…the Oprah money has run out already?!

    I will say that after such a depressing gossip weekend, it’s nice of the Cracken to give us a laugh.

  21. babythestarsshinebrite says:

    I see Mandy Moore.

  22. Julianna says:

    It looks like a blonder & skinnier Khloe Kardashian to me.

  23. Garrett says:

    How delusional. She is showing the world who she really is by pulling this stunt.

  24. The Original G says:

    Even if is WAS her, it’s a parody and probably covered by fair use. I think it’s more like a composite of of a bunch of types. Pretty sure Rockstar has lawyers who would have checked this out…..

  25. Macey says:

    She’s so dumb. All you have to do is look it up and you will find the girl is modeled after Shelby Welinder, she is even credited for it on the game. I think Shelby even tweeted it was her on there.

    Here’s link..

    That said, I must admit Ive missed LL delusions and other antics, she’s been really quiet lately.

  26. Trinitay4u says:

    It looks like KATE UPTON!!!#

  27. Pers14 says:

    She wishes.

  28. dorothy says:

    Looks like Kate Upton to me. However, I guess when your not getting any work, suing is a way to generate income.

  29. Jessica says:

    Just FWI, The recipe Lindsay made is from Carla Hall (of The Chew) and it’s her Sweet Potatoes with mini marshmallows with pecans and it calls for 1/4 cup Bourbon.

    • Nina W says:

      If she used alcohol in her sweet potato casserole the alcohol content would have been baked out of it.

  30. Adrien says:

    Looks like a blonde Christine Teigen.

  31. Shelley says:

    Looks like lasagna to me. The first photo looks nothing like her. More facial surgery? Her arm is skinny, her eyes very bright, and her fake teeth even brighter. Remember the corroded teeth under those veneers?! And the GTA ‘girl’ also looks nothing like her. Delusional arrogant creep. I think she’s picking on yet another company as a way to easy money; she may not even be paying her attorney a thing unless she wins, in which case the attorney will get a heavy % of the settlement. I hope the company takes a strong defensive stand and doesn’t cave in to her.

  32. Kerrboom says:

    I’ve played through a lot of GTAV, including the missions mentioned above, and not once did I think a character resembled this crackhead. She’s just looking for money. What a huge freaking head she has to think Rockstar Games would put her “image” in the masterpiece that is GTAV.

    • MisJes says:

      I’ve just finished GTAV as of last night, and no character from ANY mission, main or side, resembles Lindsay at all. Not even just a randomly generated woman on the street! She’s completely delusional.

      And you’re spot on, Kerrboom. Rockstar Games did not have to degrade their game by putting her in it, and they didn’t. This is a poorly veiled attempt at relevance.

    • Deb says:

      I agree. The girls in the missions are only on screen for a short time, and neither resemble Lohan. The girl who wants you to help her escape the paparazzi is generic looking and doesn’t say anything that would suggest she is inspired by Lohan. The other girl that you record having sex is an allegedly virginal teen starlet (at least she plays a teen, but the player learns she’s much older) and her costar (also an older person playing a teen). That most definitely is not Lohan.

  33. Bess says:

    I think Lindsay is hoping for the easy money from a quick settlement.

    Also, she thinks she still looks incredibly sexy in her self portraits.

  34. shellybean says:

    She’s been pretty quiet lately, you have to give her that. Maybe she’s partying on the down-low, I don’t know, but she’s kept her shit fairly tight for several months now. I think that’s a record. So no, I’m not going to make fun of her cooking or her food. At least she’s doing something normal, like cooking and eating.

  35. Reid05 says:

    I’m not even looking at her- can’t keep my eyes off of the disaster that came out of the oven! This cooking/entertaining idea is not a good one. Say what you will about Goopy, her anal a$$ would never turnout a such a horrifying looking dish!

    • Nina W says:

      Oh Spare me, every table in America had a similar looking casserole last Thursday, and they all looked like brown glop. I don’t eat that marshmallow crap but otherwise she gets a pass from me. Better this than drinking and driving.

  36. Elizabeth says:

    OT, but any of you guys watch The Canyons since it came out on DVD? Watched it with a friend this weekend.. girlfriend looks 45 instead of 27(?). Plus, all around awful writing, acting, etc in that movie. I had a free rental so I wasn’t too upset 🙂

    • Debbie says:

      Was it so bad it was funny, at least?

      • Elizabeth says:

        Ehhh. I don’t know. Some of it I found funny but it was a bizarre and violent film. Normally violence really bothers me but it didn’t with this, probably because the acting was so horrible.

  37. Debbie says:

    Girlfriend needs a cash infusion and I presume she’s all out of Vikram Chatwals.

  38. Noel says:

    Of course she is. Shawn Chapman Holly needs to get paid! And those 8 million dollars in unpaid legal fees are about to go into collections!

  39. Bread and Circuses says:

    There’s something Lindsay-ish about the eyes of that drawing, but the rest of it is mostly Kate Upton. Pretty blondes are ubiquitous in LA, so it’s quite the feat of narcissism for her to think that character is modeled on her.

    Well, at least Lindsay isn’t trying to imply that she’s a serious actress and this damages her image somehow–nope; she’s a crackhead famewhore and how dare they portray her as such without paying her!

  40. jwoolman says:

    Hope they go to court and blast her out of the water for this, sticking her with their legal fees. This is the same silly person who thought she was the only person in the world named Lindsay. She will continue with these frivolous suits until it’s no longer profitable, so more people have to refuse to pay her off to stop bothering them. This might mean she’s running low on stunt casting opportunities.

    I think the game actually credits the models used, but Lindsay didn’t bother checking that. If the character doesn’t frequently stick her fingers in her mouth- it’s definitely not our Lindsay!

  41. weleasewodewick says:

    Did anyone else notice the bruising to her inner left elbow top pic.? Track marks anyone.?

  42. Blackbetty says:

    I think the GTA girl looks like Leo’s ex Bar, does anyone agree? Lindsey must be high on something to think she looks that good.

  43. Jolene says:

    It looks more like Fergie.

  44. skeptical says:

    ok we need to all write fanletters or something to Rockstar and tell them to not roll over for the Cracken. Wouldn’t it damage their image if they gave in to her?

    Come on, Rockstar! Don’t pull an e-trade!

  45. Woohoo says:

    It’s true indeed she was shooting for Elle Indonesia. I worked in a lifestyle magazine in Indonesia so i’m friend with the editor and the behind-the-scene photographer. Guess what, they were disgusted by her.
    Apparently, on the 1st day of shooting, the cracken stood them up after 3 hours of waiting. She didn’t feel like shooting so she rescheduled to the day after. The next day, she stood them up again. After hours of waiting and drama. When the photoshoot is finally happening, she let them come into her apartment. My friend said she didn’t wear any undergarments so her private bits were just hanging out. Lotsa dramas with the paparazzi, she had a fight with someone, and of course she ruined the borrowed clothes. BUT, despite all the drama, she was not a bitchy person and not hesitant on letting the team peek into her (messy) NYC apartment.

  46. Emily says:

    She only wishes. That cartoon looks just like Candice Swanpoel (sp?) to me more than anyone else. If someone should sue it would be VS.
