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!

what movies has she done? I think she was in Freaky Friday and the one with Jane Fonda, but she really hasn't even done anything notable, she is just like a Kardashian.

By Marko

How about INMATE that has a nice ring to it.

By francisco siqueiros

No much you can do about your last name... one is .. should be proud of it.. if not ,well..how about moving to mexico and get siqueiros as a last name? Thats a nice one. here you can party, drink. and nothing about provation and all that applies. just ask the spring breakers.. they can have as much fun as they want without problems.. you can buy yourself a house in mexico and have fun the way you like.wont even have to deal with those dumb papparatzies anymore.
