E*Trade isn't going to make things easy for Lindsay Lohan now that she's filed a $100MM suit against them—she claims they defamed her in a commercial by calling a baby named Lindsay a "milkaholic." The company has been fighting to get the suit moved to Manhattan, where their headquarters are located, arguing that Lohan does not reside at the address she listed (in Nassau County at her mother's home).
The company's lawyer told the judge, "She really lives in Los Angeles," which he backed up with newspaper reports outlining her West Coast antics over the years (as well as a copy of her LA driver's license and proof she rents an apartment there—when she can afford it).
According to the NY Post, Lohan's lawyer had little proof she lived in Nassau County, just a five paragraph affidavit from the actress, stating: "When work permits, I spend time and reside in Nassau County."
In other Lohan family news: Lindsay's father is planning on opening a nightclub in the Hamptons (because as TMZ noted, "Nothing reunites a family torn apart by drugs and booze... like a nightclub.") He claims it could become a "family enterprise," and hopes to get his son involved as a manager.
