tmz .Erin Muller says she found a GPS tracking device attached to the undercarriage of her car two weeks ago ... and Erin tells TMZ she believes her ex Michael Lohan is the one who put it there.
Muller claims her dad found the device -- which can track the whereabouts of her vehicle in real time -- while he was checking for an oil leak.
Muller says when she showed cops the device, they told her it's the same kind they use to track their own vehicles.
According to Muller's lawyer, cops are investigating the situation as a felony eavesdropping case -- and, as a result, Erin says she's so paranoid that she's going to have her apartment swept for bugs.
Maybe her whining wasn't just baby talk after all.
An inside look at the making of E-Trade's "milkaholic" Super Bowl ad that drew Lindsay Lohan's ire revealed that the baby's name was changed from "Deborah" to "Lindsay" as they transformed the tot into a tramp.
The intimate glimpse into the Madison Avenue sausage-making process was provided by an Esquire magazine reporter, who was granted access to meetings at Grey Group as they hashed out the details for the spot.
According to internal documents obtained by the magazine, workers at the Fifth Avenue ad company can be seen brainstorming on Sept. 10 about a cutting, but FCC-friendly, word to describe a trollop of a tyke named Deborah.
YOU'RE SO VAIN: Notes from the Grey Group ad firm show how their sloshy "Deborah" character became "Lindsay" -- in a reference actress that Lindsay Lohan (above) thinks is about her.
But less than three weeks later, in a document from Sept. 28, Deborah's name is crossed out and replaced with "Lindsay," according to the mag.
In the final version of the ad -- which La Lohan took as a jab against her hard-partying image -- a girl baby is video-chatting with her baby boyfriend about why he didn't call the night before.
The girl asks, "And that milkaholic Lindsay wasn't over?"
"Lindsay?" the boy asks innocently, before "Lindsay" pops up and slurs "Milk-a-what?"
Lohan's lawyer, Stephanie Ovadia, said that "when the name changed from Deborah to Lindsay, the words [to describe her] also changed."
On the same page as Lindsay's name is a slew of sleazy descriptors including "gutter hound," "fish face," "rug burn" and "skanky cake."
Earlier descriptions of the Deborah character -- before they settled on "milkaholic" -- included "slee-otch," "cockadoodle" and "leaking diaper."
Lohan filed a $100 million lawsuit in Nassau County Supreme Court this week, claiming that E-Trade's use of the boyfriend-stealing baby was a direct attack on the actress. "We think it's obvious," said Dina Lohan, mom of the "Mean Girls" actress.
"[The notes are] horrific. This just proves our point. Oh my goodness, I can't even read this, it's so disgusting."
But Grey's creative director, Tor Myrhen, was asked whether the name referred to Lohan back in December, months before the scandal.
"Not at all. I don't think we even thought of it at the time," Myrhen said, according to the magazine.
"Every aspect of that commercial was discussed in endless meetings with E-Trade. But we decided to keep it."
E*TRADE is firing back at Lindsay Lohan's claims that the online investment company ripped-off her name and likeness in its "Lindsay is a milkoholic" commercial.
E*TRADE issued the following statement to TMZ -- "We believe the claims are without merit and we intend to defend ourselves vigorously in this case."
The investment company says its commercial was meant to be "witty and memorable."
The commercial features a baby named Lindsay -- who gets accused of being the "milkoholic" other woman in a baby love triangle.

Dina Lohan is said to be furious that her troubled daughter won’t stop talking to the press about her drug and alcohol problems.
“Dina’s actively plotting Lindsay’s acting comeback, and keeps telling her that continually bringing up her problems scares away the studios,” a source divulged.
Dina also ain’t happy that Lindsay keeps blaming her father, Michael Lohan, for the problems in her personal life.
“As for Michael, nobody hates him more than Dina, but she tells Lindsay that even mentioning his name just gives him more ammo to shoot off his mouth,” said the source.
^ Well, she was Karl's girl there for a year or so, he always mentioned how much he liked her and all, and at some point I guess after the LA Chanel Cruise Show he cut her loose and has never mentioned her again or had her anywhere near his or any Chanel events....I guess it relates to the CFDA Dinner that he brought her to in NY where they sat with Anna Wintour and the ultra powerful- and Lindsay proceeded to go to the ladies room about 15 times; Anna evidently was heard to tell Karl 'She's your guest, if you can't control her...' That was it...And with Karl ,if you make an enemy of him, God help you...He would have no problem with publicly turning her away if she tried to attend his show...Big mess...![]()
I figure rather than this Dynasty soap opera drama that we suppose these people live, it's more likely "What shall we do to-morrow?/What ever shall we do?" Eliot Waste Land revulsion, horror, and boredom, but with better food, nicer clothes, and fancier locales than what we're filling in our time with.
