Lindsay to Drop 'Lohan' From Her Name, Says Mom

By Rob Shuter Posted Mar 25th 2011 09:19AM

EXCLUSIVE: Diddy did it. So did Madonna and Prince, and now you can add Lindsay Lohan to the list of celebrities who are opting for a single moniker, with the troubled star's mom, Dina, confirming to me that Lindsay plans to remove "Lohan" from her official name.

"Lindsay is dropping the Lohan and just going by Lindsay," Dina tells me, exclusively. "Plus, me and [younger daughter] Ali will be officially changing our last names back to my maiden name, Sullivan."

Lindsay had been thinking about dropping her surname for some time but at first thought no one would know who she was. It was only after the infamous Super Bowl E-trade advertisement referring to a baby as "that milkaholic Lindsay," that the actress knew she no longer needed it.

"So many of the greatest people in showbiz are known by just their first name. Look at Oprah and Beyonce. Now you can add Lindsay to that list," a family friend tells me. "And it's a way for them all to start over. No one in the family want anything to do with Lindsay's father [Michael Lohan] anymore and that includes sharing a last name."

The name "Lohan" is Irish, and Lindsay can trace her roots back to County Cork, as can the "Sullivan" family, according to Irish Central. She also has some Italian heritage as well.

Michael responded with a clear denial later Friday during a visit to Jane Velez-Mitchell's hit HLN show. "I don't think it's true at all," he said. "I would never imagine any of my kids changing their name, especially Lindsay."

Sure thing, Mike! I hope this will be the fresh beginning that the "family formally know as Lohan" so desperately needs!

Dina......I'm sure none of your 3 kids want to use your name either......being in denial of their bad behaviour is no excuse, you've been a terrible example to them all -- you need to wake up and learn how to say NO to your kids

By themeeker

I believe there are 4 children. Which is fine because that just makes her a bad mother 4 times instead of 3.

By Marc-eee

Some of the greatest people in showbiz.... REALLY.... And this useless talentless waste of air and space is including herself in that list... REALLY?! Please just go and od or something already so we don't have to put up with seeing this Long Island skank and her ridiculous family anymore... ENOUGH!!!!!!!

By Maria

Lindsay Lohan is 24 and her story is all over the news because she's a celebrity drug addict and allegedly, a thief.
Charlie Sheen is 45 and you would have had to be under a rock all week if you hadn't heard about his antics.
While................
Justin Allen 23,
Brett Linley 29,
Matthew Weikert 29,
Justus Bartett 27,
Dave Santos 21,
Jesse Reed 26,
Matthew Johnson 21,
Zachary Fisher 24,
Brandon King 23,
Christopher Goeke 23, and
Sheldon Tate 27..........
are all Marines that gave their lives for you this week. There is no media for
them; not even a mention of their names.

By candycet

thank you

By Alex

Exactly!! Bravo!!

By Bob

Well said Maria.. I have long held those same thoughts. These peoople make millions by how many illicit drugs they can use, and thats all you can find, or hear about. While the true hero is an underpaid pawn risking his life everyday over some dirt mounds

How did you find out the soldiers names and ages if not through the news media? Do you work for the government or something? This is the entertainment news at "Pop Eater." In other places you can read about what the stock market is doing. There is an appropriate place for everything. People don't have funerals in dance clubs.

Perfect! Thank you for naming them.

By Aften

I agree with "fatebender". This is not the time or place to mention the soldiers. This is the "Entertainment" section about actors. If I wanted to get an update on men in the service, I would have gone on AOL News to get the update!

Well said. Thanks for the reality check, Maria

Amen to that!

By Ron3853

Whether she has one name or two, she still will never get her career back. Maybe she get get involved in a project with Charlie Sheen after she serves he jail sentence.

Oh that would be sooo cool to have Lindsay on 2 1/2 Men with Charlie! We would get a great laugh...too bad it would be at her and not with her!!!

By Shawn

Who cares!!!!!!After seeing the e-trade,she said she knew, didn't she try to sue the crap out of them, and now she can thank them...hahahaha

By EH

What a joke. She thinks she's so special she only needs to go by one name. She is a "LOSER" and nothing will change that. She needs to drop out of sight and we would all be better off. She is wasting our tax dollars and it makes me sick to look at her anymore.

By Eric

WHO CARES.....

By tony

maybe she will drop the lindsay too and disappear.

By Anthony DiFranco

It is official, the Lohan's are the most disfunctional family in the world. Lindsay Lohan reminds me of a bad baseball team that is constantly in the process of rebuilding. When does the project get finished. I guess as long as the media considers her good press we will continuly have to see internet blurbs about her and her parents; who by the way take no responsiblity for their childs raising and recent problems!!

By lk

unlike madonna, cher and prince this cow is on the down career wise. she presumes a lot.
