She replied: “Because I don’t work for them anymore.” Prompted for more specifics, she noted, “There’s legal things going on; I can’t really discuss it.”

After hiring Lohan last year, former Ungaro CEO and President Mounir Moufarrige told WWD, “Designer-led fashion is likely not to be enough. It’s a slow process going the traditional route.”Moufarrige stepped down last December and declined to comment on Lohan and Ungaro when reached on Monday.

Lohan was not present at the Ungaro fashion show during Paris Fashion Week. The brand’s owner, Asim Abdullah, told WWD that she is not involved with the collection.

Designer Estrella Archs, who teamed up with the 23-year-old actress for the widely-panned collection last year, also said Lohan has nothing to do with her second Ungaro collection on Monday.

The singer/actress joined the label last year as its artistic advisor, but her first catwalk show received scathing reviews, with Emanuel Ungaro, the founder who is no longer connected with the company, even saying Lohan’s collection was a “disaster.”

Lohan isn’t making a great impression with fashion labels lately. Last week, she was turned away from the Dior Show at Paris Fashion Week after arriving late. She was seen walking back at her hotel after being denied entry.

Lindsay Lohan is suing the financial company E-Trade, insisting that a boyfriend-stealing, “milkaholic” baby in its latest commercial — who happens to be named Lindsay — was modeled after her. And she wants $100 million for her pain and suffering, The Post has learned.

The actress filed a lawsuit yesterday in Nassau County Supreme Court over the commercial that debuted during the Super Bowl this year.

The ad — part of a series starring babies who play the stock market — features a boy apologizing to his girlfriend via video chat for not calling her the night before.

“And that milkaholic Lindsay wasn’t over?” the baby girl asks him suspiciously.

“Lindsay?” the boy replies, just before a baby girl sticks her head into the frame and slurs, “Milk-a-what?”

Lohan’s lawyer, Stephanie Ovadia, said the actress has the same single-name recognition as Oprah or Madonna.

“Many celebrities are known by one name only, and E-Trade is using that knowledge to profit,” Ovadia said.

“They used the name Lindsay,” Ovadia said. “They’re using her name as a parody of her life. Why didn’t they use the name Susan? This is a subliminal message. Everybody’s talking about it and saying it’s Lindsay Lohan.”

Ovadia wants an injunction to force the spot off the air, and the Lindsay camp wants every last copy of the commercial.

Chris Brown, a spokesman for Grey Group, which produced the spot, is throwing cold milk on the controversy, saying it “just used a popular baby name that happened to be the name of someone on the account team.”

Ovadia said E-Trade has violated Lohan’s rights under New York state civil-rights law and used her “name and characterization” in business without paying her or getting her approval.

The lawyer said that since the spot was seen by hundreds of millions of people watching the Super Bowl and Winter Olympics finals, the firm has garnered great profits.

She says Lohan is owed $50 million in exemplary damages, plus another $50 million in compensatory damages.

E-Trade could not be reached for comment.

The 23-year-old’s role as “artistic adviser” for the French designer house has come to an end after only producing one collection, reports Reuters.

The Mean Girls star’s efforts with Ungaro designer Estrella Archs received poor reviews from critics during Fashion Week 2009.

Archs’s new line sans Lohan has apparently been praised by the fashion industry.

“This whole thing with Lindsay,” Michael Lohan told the Herald. “I just want her to get better. To get help. The hardest part is that everyone can see what’s happening and they do and say nothing. She went from being one of the biggest, if not the biggest teen movie star of all time, to reducing herself to doing events for $100,000 or less.”

He said the “Mean Girls” and “Freaky Friday” star is a shell of her former self. He blames drugs.

“I was out with her in L.A. when her place got robbed. I got her in a hotel,” he said. “Here’s this girl crying in my arms and it’s like a vacant body. I don’t care if she’s 23. She’s my kid. I want her to get better. I’m not going to bury my daughter.”

He says his daughter’s plummeting fortunes aren’t entirely to blame for his unexpected trip to the hospital, though. He says his ex-fiancee is also responsible for driving up his blood pressure.

Lohan, 49, said he has a history of heart problems and takes nitroglycerin to keep his pressure in check. He said his pills were lost when he did laundry recently, and he hadn’t yet refilled the prescription.

He was planning to fight Pittsfield native Todd Poulton Saturday in a Celebrity Boxing Federation match in Sturbridge, but when an emergency medical technician took his blood pressure during a prefight physical, it registered a staggering 172 over 124.

“He told me ‘You’re about to have a stroke,’ ” Lohan said.

Lohan said after resting in the hospital for a bit, his blood pressure dropped. He said while he was still feeling some tightness in his chest and shortness of breath, he checked out and headed home.

“I signed out of the hospital against medical advice and now I’m on my way,” he said. Lohan said Massachusetts doctors recommended he get tests to see if he required a stent or an angioplasty. He said he wants his own doctor to have a look at him first.

Lohan said the heart scare hasn’t ended his career with Celebrity Boxing Federation and he hopes to step into the ring soon.

“I’m an idiot!” he said. “Even if they tell me not to go to the gym, I’m still going to go to the gym.”
