Lindsay wants to lose her 'Lohan,' mama Dina says

There's no denying Lindsay Lohan is sufficiently notorious that her first name is enough for most of the chattering public to know who they're chattering about — and now the starlet is ready to shed her Lohan baggage and just be "Lindsay," her mom says.

At the same time the other Lohan ladies, Dina and Ali, intend to change their surnames to Mom's maiden name, Sullivan, the once-and-future Dina Sullivan told PopEater on Friday.

After comparing Lindsay to Oprah and Beyonce, a family friend  invoked the specter of Michael Lohan, calling the name change "a way for them all to start over. No one in the family want anything to do with Lindsay's father anymore, and that includes sharing a last name."

Ouch.

No mention was made of what might happen to the last names of Lilo's younger brothers Michael Jr. and Cody.

Papa Lohan might have more to worry about right now. He was charged with misdemeanor domestic violence Wednesday after being arrested Monday on suspicion of assault. Though police didn't release the alleged victim's name, Lohan ex-fiancee Kate Major told RadarOnline on Tuesday that she'd been pushed and shoved. "I didn't touch her," Lohan told Radar.

Major (who for a while dated Jon Gosselin) filed a police report against her then fiance in July, alleging that he'd shoved her over a chair and kicked her during an argument. The charges were dropped in August at Major's request.

Meanwhile, attorney Shawn Chapman Holley told prosecutors Wednesday that Lindsay — see, that works, just the one name? — wouldn't accept a plea deal regarding the grand theft charge she faces for allegedly taking a necklace from a Venice boutique.

"Though many advised her to follow the safe route by taking 'the deal,' the truth is, Ms. Lohan is innocent," Holley said in a statement obtained by L.A. Now. "[S]he has a strong defense; and we are confident that a jury will listen to the evidence fairly and acquit her."

A preliminary hearing will be held April 22.

It wont make a difference! we already know who you are and what you did and youll probably be forgotten by the time anyone doesnt know anymore, Lynds. So suck it up and get a life! getting a new name is hardly there....and I doubt this story will make any more famous or any less of a letdown...change your life instead of you name!!!!!!!!

Instead of ditching the last name she needs to ditch her mother. Get real, Lindsay, you have no career left last name or not.

There's a slight problem. The stars she's giving as examples are actually stars with unusual names, and add to that a high level of one & only recognition.

Lohan doesn't qualify-she's still just a celebu-tard wannabe with a few acting credits and mostly lots of bad behavior in the press.

This doesn't make her talented, successful, or one-of-a-kind.

Who cares?

Lindsay doesn't remember Jackee (Harry) who dropped the Harry and when she was popular, it was FINE. But, she probably doesn't want to be Lindsay you know the one with the drug problem, Lindsay the one who's new mugshot is up..Cher can get away with it. You can't.

Lindsey the loser loses her last name which is no big loss at all for such a loser already...har, har...

I can understand completely why she wants to disassociate herself from her creepy father, but a name change is only cosmetic. She has to grow up and stay out of trouble, and those things start between her ears, not on a piece of paper. I'm not gonna hold my breath.

Bring something to the table worth being remembered for and the name is secondary.
