Celebrity Justice
Lindsay Sued Over Wild Ride in the 'Bu

The three guys who say Lindsay Lohan held them hostage during an alleged alcohol-fueled drive have sued over the incident.
Launch docs
The incident occurred In July, 2007 after a party in Malibu. Ronnie Blake, Jakon Sutter and Dante Nigro claim an intoxicated Lindsay hijacked a car in which they were passengers and began an insane ride down PCH, "endangering all of their lives." In the lawsuit, filed in L.A. County Superior Court, the dudes claim Lindsay was "hostile," declaring she "didn't care about the risk of death" and saying "she was a celebrity...she could do whatever she wants." Back in July, one of the kids told TMZ, "It was pretty much the was worst night of my whole summer."

Lohan guys: Click to watchThe suit claims she blew red lights, eventually ending up at the Santa Monica Police Department where she was arrested for DUI, her second DUI bust in less than 90 days. Cops say they also found cocaine. Lohan pleaded guilty to being under the influence of cocaine and no contest to reckless driving and driving with a blood alcohol level of .08 or higher. She eventually served one day in jail.

The suit seeks unspecified compensatory and punitive damages.

Her lawyer, Ed McPherson, told TMZ the suit is "absurd," adding, "These guys had the night of their lives, playing with the radio and leaving the vehicle at one point and getting back in."

31. So where is the harm? These guys all survived with no injuries. Are they going to claim they are mentaly affected from the experience? If they had beenin an accident then they might have a claim. As far as breaking the law goes...the judicial system found her guilty on several charges, and she served the time. Is one day enough for that? NO...I would have done 6 months for the same crime, but when a judge drops the gavel the story is over. Either way these guys are major douchebags, and I hopr they do not get a dime. You want money out of this? Write a book.

37. Surely these fellas calmed themselves during their joy ride by chatting about how much they had enjoyed Herbie.

38. Lindsay Lohan is the one who should have had a trial and gone to jail for a few days
.But not Britney or Paris. they did not do much.

But didn't Lindsay also walk into the police station with Coke in her pocket?
She really should have been locked up. They went wayyyy too easy on her.

39. As a man these sniveling cry-babies embarass me. You three are nothing more than media whores who apparently hope to capitalize on her fame and misfortune. I guess being stockboys at Wal-Mart wasn't good enough! Oh well y'all probably will get a couple of thousand dollars to shut you whiners up. I predict that within six weeks of recieving your money one or two of thse "men" will be arrested for DUI.
