Diddy. Madonna. Cher. Prince. Oprah. Beyonce. Lindsay Lohan either fancies herself on par with these celebrities, or really hates her dad, or a combination of both, because she’s gonna ditch the “Lohan.” “Lindsay is dropping the Lohan and just going by Lindsay,” her mom Dina Lohan tells PopEater , and that’s not all. “Plus, me and [younger daughter] Ali will be officially changing our last names back to my maiden name, Sullivan.” NO, LOHAN, JUST LINDSAY : Felon would also work … Lindsay had been thinking about dropping her surname for some time, Dina says, but at first thought that no one would recognize who “Lindsay” was. It was only after the infamous Super Bowl E-trade ad referring to a baby as “that milkaholic Lindsay,” that the actress knew she no longer needed it. Ironically, she bitched, moaned and even sued over that, but whatever. “So many of the top people in showbiz are known by one name. Look at Oprah and Beyonce. Now you can add Lindsay to that list,” a family friend said. More importantly, “It’s a way for them all to just start over. No one in the family want anything to do with Lindsay’s father [Michael Lohan] anymore.” MiLo has not yet commented, but he’s got a lot on his plate. Like felony domestic violence charges. Dropping the Lohan might not be so bad, Linds …

Actress will now go to trial; a preliminary hearing is set for April 22. By James Montgomery Lindsay Lohan Photo: David McNew/ Getty Images Lindsay Lohan will not accept a plea deal in her ongoing felony grand theft case, deciding instead to go to trial. That’s according to TMZ , who reported Tuesday that Lohan — charged in early February with felony grand theft after allegedly taking a $2,500 necklace from a Venice, California, jewelry store — had met with her lawyer, Shawn Holley, and opted not to take a plea being offered by the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s office. She will now proceed to trial before Judge Stephanie Sautner; a preliminary hearing in the case is set for April 22. Late last month, Lohan was told by Judge Keith Schwartz that had she accepted the DA’s deal — reportedly six months of jail time — she would have been found in violation of her probation and would serve time. “I don’t care that you’re Lindsay Lohan,” the judge added, bluntly. “One of the things about me is that I treat everybody the same,” Schwartz said at the time. “What I look to in sentencing is, ‘What is the prior record?’ In this particular case, there has been so much speculation in the press [that] I’m just going to tell you a couple of things: If you plead in front of me, you are going to jail. There might be an issue about the amount of time, but if the case settles here, you will be going to jail.” By going to trial, Lohan now faces both jail and prison time — jail if Judge Sautner decides she’s violated her probation, prison if she is convicted of grand theft — but the actress has long proclaimed her innocence on the theft charge, tweeting that she “was not raised to lie, cheat or steal” and saying in TV interviews that she “feels great.” In March, security-camera footage showing Lohan trying on jewelry and texting appeared on “Entertainment Tonight,” who had apparently purchased 45 minutes of tape from the jewelry store in question.

Charged with involuntary manslaughter, Dr. Conrad Murray will likely argue that Michael Jackson killed himself with a lethal dose of Propofol. Even if that were true (and it’s a stretch), it still wouldn’t get Murray off the hook. The treatment he gave MJ was suspect for myriad reasons. To that end, Murray’s lawyers just filed documents pointing fingers at none other than Dr. Arnold Klein – Jackson’s longtime doctor and friend. Murray claims that Klein addicted Jackson to Demerol and other powerful narcotics. It’s part of his plan to establish Michael as a lost cause physically . Murray’s legal team claims Klein fueled MJ’s addiction as recently as 2009 by giving him scores of Demerol injections in the months prior to his death. He may have a point there. In the months before Jackson died, Dr. Arnold Klein gave Jackson 51 Demerol injections. But is it relevant to the case? The docs claim it is for this reason: “Due to Mr. Klein’s actions, Mr. Jackson became physiologically and psychologically dependent on Demerol.” Murray’s team says Dr. Arnold Klein , who is also the rumored biological father of MJ’s kids Paris and Prince, “is a relevant, highly material witness.” Dr. Conrad Murray …

Lindsay Lohan is facing felony grand theft charges and is on probation for a prior DUI arrest, but why let that stand in the way off a good ass time?! She has ’til Friday to accept a plea deal and a (relatively) short jail sentence, otherwise she’ll be bound for an April trial. It’s a lot for her to digest. That’s why she channeled her inner Rebecca Black over the past week, hitting seven hotspots in a four-day span and just partyin’, partyin’, yeah! On Thursday at Riff Raff, an onlooker says LiLo was “with a girlfriend, clutching onto her signature can of Red Bull. She was definitely in a partying mood.” Also Thursday, LiLo hit up SL and 1Oak where a clubgoer says Lohan wasn’t drinking, but “was in a great mood having a good time with friends, dancing.” Adds the clubgoer: “She was under a microscope because people were waiting to see if she was going to drink, but she didn’t.” Yeah! You show ’em girl! An insider at one of Lohan’s other stops says the actress was back to her old ways , however, and that it’s only a matter of time before trouble follows. “Saturday night at Beauty & Essex, Lindsay was with her brother and sister,” the source says. “She was ordering and drinking cocktails, texting nonstop.” She was also “taking pictures and acting a little crazy.” Drinking or not (Lindsay says she doesn’t drink, period , but no one can really believe what she says), can she get in legal trouble for her nightlife antics? It’s a gray area for sure. A prosecutor could very well collect evidence that Lohan’s been frequenting these places as grounds for a probation violation. On the flip side, the definition of a place where alcohol is the chief item of sale is sometimes murky, especially if the establishment is also a restaurant. As for how Lohan’s recent habits could affect her recovery, you don’t have to be an expert to see how the star’s current lifestyle could get problematic. Drinking, partying, being a klepto . Jail’s a callin’. [Photo: Fame Pictures]
