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!

Of all the things she could change--name, hair, fashion, toothpaste--I think I might have put behavior up there.

By mateo3030

Just when you think she's made it to the dumbest person in the world, she 'tops' herself!!!

Hahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!
She can't even spell 'Lindsey'!!
And mama 'Dina' sure ain't the brightest bulb on the tree either!!

I think all the Lindsays in the world should sue lohan for using their name. She has done nothing to improve it.

Elvis already did that and He is the only one that ever should.

By JEB BUCKINGHAM

I have a better idea, Lindsay. Why don't YOU drop singing, acting, and whatever else you do, and just go away?

By Rach

Dina's really using this to her own advantage, isn't she? Very sad that she's so willing split the family apart further.

By Ron

She isn't even pretty anymore. Maybe it's the drugs and alcohol that is aging her. These Hollywood kids have way to much time on their hands to sit around, think about themselves all time and get into trouble. Lindsay Lohan needs a real job. But only after she sits in jail for a few months. Can't wait to see that!

U ARROGANT NARCISSISTIC SACK OF BULL FRITTERS,,, WHO DO U THINK THAT U ARE? THE ONLY NOTORIETY IS FROM YOUR DAUGHTERS DISOBEDIENCE TO THE LAW,, YOU DO RECALL WHAT THAT IS FIRE CROTCH? HOW ABOUT THAT FOR A NAME.. STEALER OR SOME HEINOUS MONIKERS... u are over the top woman because you are NO lady think of others who wish to name their child that or just happily shove off somewhere

By Mrs V

Lay off your bad habits. Do something positive with whatever is left of your star power to help kids or a great cause and you won't need to drop the last name. What a stupid idea....

By Rini

Like mother, like daughter... Lindsay's crazy is starting to make more and more sense.

By Alan

If she wants a single name, then how about "Douche"? She can drop the "Bag".

she doesn't worth it.cute pretty.you've to learn about god you'll be ok inchallah

By Tara

Those who go by one name are huge stars, and generally very talented. Lindsay is not talented, therefore in no way cool enough for one name. Plus, Lindsay is too generic. Stars who go by one name have distinctive names. She's delusional.

By Roger

In a couple of months she won't be going by any names, she'll have a prison number.

By chaim

The truth be known children always go live with the abuser.

They need to find acceptance from the parent that is unstable

By alan

Lindsay Lohan? Lindsay? LiLo? How about "Useless."

By barbg

You can change your name, but you are still the same!!!!

Lindsay, Lindsay, Lindsay. If you spent as much time fixing your problems as you do being a fool, you might wind up actually contributing something to Mother Earth, Other than just sucking the Air it Provides. Grow Up !!!!! First Who in the Heck do you think you are. i have heard about one movie you made (never saw it) and 100 articles of your Tragic Messed up Life. I think you should drop both your names and call your self LOSER. Then everyone would know who you were. This is my personal opinion. GROW UP !!!!!!!!!

By Gregory

What a dysfunctional family! And, could the Mother look more haggard? What's the old expression, you can run but you can not hide!
