BMW means ‘bad man whining’
In other Lindsay Lohan news, the actress and her mother have been sued by freelance photographer Giovanni Arnold who claims the “Georgia Rule” actress hit him with a car in New York. Arnold claims he “sustained severe and permanent personal injuries” when he was struck on March 13.
Arnold was seeking unspecified monetary damages “for his pain and suffering and his lost wages.” Arnold’s attorney Marc Mauser says Arnold was in front of the BMW when Lohan put it in drive, throwing him on the hood and then the ground. He said the actress stopped to check Arnold before leaving.

Graff filed her suit in 2005, claiming that Hilton had spread “vicious lies” about her.
