Lindsay Lohan’s lawsuit against ‘GTA’ makers will likely be thrown out of court

After cracking her way through the Hamptons and Manhattan for several weeks, Lindsay Lohan is back in London. These are photos of LL outside the Chiltern Firehouse on August 23rd. We just didn’t get around to publishing them until now, because the VMAs and Emmys are way more important than Lindsay being a loser. When the Cracken is in New York, all of the New York papers and gossips are primed to feed us gossip about her crack shenanigans, but that’s rarely the case in London. I wonder if she’s still the same cracked-out mess at the Chiltern Firehouse as she is in, say, 1Oak. Probably. It’s just the London crowd is slightly more discreet.

I guess she returned to London to live with her shady “investment banker” boyfriend, the one with children. And she’s probably “rehearsing” Speed-the-Plow too. It’s going to get worse before it gets better, you know? The play doesn’t go on for another four weeks or so.

Meanwhile, remember how Lindsay filed one of her cracked-out lawsuits against the makers of Grand Theft Auto? She sued them because of the character “Lacey Jonas,” which LL thinks is based on her alone. Well, the GFA makers want the lawsuit thrown out of court (I would have said “laughed out of court” but in reality it’s probably “cracked out of court”) and they want the Cracken to be FINED. Oh, this will get good!

The makers of the popular video game Grand Theft Auto V not only want a Manhattan judge to toss Lindsay Lohan’s lawsuit against them, they want her fined for even bringing it. The “Mean Girls’’ actress sued manufacturer Take-Two Interactive last month, saying it used her image for character Lacey Jonas without her permission.

But Take-Two says the only physical similarity between Lindsay and Lacey is that they’re both young blondes. While Lohan also said the five-minute scene involving Jonas mirrors her life, Take-Two snips, “The portrayal of a Hollywood figure being chased by paparazzi, of course, is hardly unique to Ms. Lohan. She also alleges that Grand Theft Auto V features a hotel similar to the Hotel Chateau Marmont of West Hollywood, where she once resided,” the game-maker says. “This allegation underscores the thinness of Ms. Lohan’s claims: GTAV is a parody of Los Angeles, so it is unsurprising that it features similar buildings.”

Lohan should have known better than to file the suit because a similar one she filed against rapper Pitbull, claiming he improperly used her arrest in song lyrics, was tossed, Take-Two argues in its demand for sanctions.

“The complaint is a bad-faith filing and abuse of the court system and should be dismissed,” Take-Two huffs.

Lohan’s lawyer did not return a message seeking comment.

Yep. I hope it does get thrown out of court and I hope Lindsay is fined. She can’t continue this way, suing companies every time they make a reference to a cracked-out “blonde.” And she’s just doing it in the hopes that the companies will throw her some money to get her to go away. I love that Rock Star Entertainment is like, “We’ll fight this in court!!”

    Dare I say she doesn’t look so rough? Looks like the ratty extensions are out, too.

  2. Brin says:

    She’s such a grifter.

  3. Jackson says:

    Thrilled to see companies not give in to her. I hope her ass gets a nice, fat fine. And tick-tock, Lindsay, because the next month is going to go by fast….go learn those lines!

  4. claire says:

    She should get fined. It’s not based on her. It looks nothing like her. She’s been shown the proof, I’m sure and she just wants to scam her way to a paycheck.

  5. Macey says:

    She’s back in NY but supposed to star in that play that starts in less than 4 weeks? I hope her understudy is ready for her big break b/c she’s going to get it.

    Im surprised Page six didnt mention that fact that the model that posed for the image was also paid and credited on the game.

  6. krastins says:

    is…is Speed the Plow even gonna happen with her? I don’t hear anyyyy news on it, and she doesn’t seem to be interested in doing anything that doesn’t involve snorting or drinking.

    • CatJ says:

      This weekend’s Daily Mail shows a photo of her at “rehearsals”…. Wonder how well that is going..,

  7. Patricia says:

    My husband got GTAV for Christmas and I watched him play it. Sometimes I do that, watch a game like movie. I even played a little myself but I suck haha.
    Anyway I actually DID think of LL for that character because the character is a damn mess, and LL is the first person I think of when I think “mess”. But that’s where the similarity ends.

    • Jem says:

      I always found it funny that she identified perfectly with a slutty, cracked-out mess on a video game. She points it out almost like she’s proud of it: “Hey, that’s just like ME!” The girl is truly, madly, deeply, clueless as hell.

    She just loves suing people doesn’t she?
    Re older boyfriend either he already kicked her to the curb or it wasn’t true in the first place. Radar reports her rep denies she has a boyfriend and sources says she prefers women :

    “Lindsay Lohan ‘Still Prefers Women’ Despite Rumors Of New Boyfriend, Friend Claims
    Lindsay Lohan’s rep has denied recent reports that she was in a relationship with older man Patrick Mahony, saying, “It is not true. She is single.” But that’s only half of the reason why the story was false, RadarOnline.com has learned. According to an insider, Lohan still prefers to date women!

    “She is single, that is true,” a source close to Lohan tells Radar exclusively. “But don’t expect Lindsay to get into a relationship with a man anytime soon. Lindsay prefers women over men.”

    “She was in several relationships with some really high-profile women and she prefers to be with women any day over men,” the source tells Radar

    Indeed, though Lohan claims she is “straight,” she’s said, “I like being in a relationship with a man, but there’s something just different about it with a woman. … I have made out with girls and had a relationship with girls.”

    When asked about her trysts with such high-profile women as Samantha Ronson, the source told Radar, “Lindsay likes men for sex. She is definitely open about this. But when it comes to her romantic side, Lindsay loves women.”

    A Cracken’s gotta hustle …

  10. eliza says:

    Glad this filthy trash was denied of another free money grab to feed her habit.

  11. Anon33 says:

    She looks like a MORE cracked out Axl Rose here…if such a thing is even possible.

  12. Sumodo1 says:

    I never noticed til now: Lohan has a lazy left eye.

  13. MisJes says:

    This trick. Not long after this lawsuit was filed, it was proven a false allegation by both the gamemakers AND the model who the character was actually based on (and who is credited as such in the game). And Blohan STILL didn’t take the suit off the table! She deserves to be fined, absolutely.

    I’m so glad that Take-Two and Rockstar aren’t playing along with her despicable and delusional legal games, good on them! I suspect that all along she knew she would never win this case, but was hoping that they’d just throw some settlement cash her way so she’d piss off.

    Let’s hope Lawsuit Lindsay has to pay the other side’s legal fees plus a fine for filing yet another frivolous lawsuit. She will just keep doing it otherwise.

  15. Goodnight says:

    I’ve played that mission in GTA V and it has nothing to do with Lindsay. All you do is chase a limo and catch up with it to take pictures (while causing a pap to crash his bike). The character looks nothing like Lindsay, and from what I remember you don’t chase her to or from the hotel that looks like the Chateau. It didn’t even cross my mind for a second that the character was based on any one celebrity. It was clearly a parody of all cracked out young stars.

    Go Rock Star. Crack down on the Kraken.
