Pitbull gets sued

Pitbull had everyone partying to his No. 1 single “Give Me Everything,” except for Lindsay Lohan. The actress has filed a lawsuit against the Miami rapper, claiming that the song disparages her name.


TMZ reports that Lohan is upset over the lyrics on which Pitbull makes reference to her jail stint. “Hustlers move in silence, so I’m tiptoein’ to keep flowin’/ I got it locked up like Lindsay Lohan,” he raps on the Ne-Yo and Afrojack-penned smash, which appears on his latest album Planet Pit.

In her lawsuit, Lohan claims that “the lyrics, by virtue of its wide appeal, condemnation, excoriation, disparaging or defamatory statements by the defendants about the plaintiff are destined to do irreparable harm to the plaintiff.”

She states that she is “a professional actor of good repute and standing in the Screen Actors Guild, is suing under the New York civil rights laws, which protects people from having their name exploited for commercial purposes.”

The suit seeks to prevent broadcast of the song and asks for unspecified damages.
