Cher, Madonna, Lindsay

Lindsay Lohan would like you to know that she is dropping her family name and will join the tiny galaxy of megastars known only by one word.

"So many of the greatest people in showbiz are known by just their first name. Look at Oprah and Beyonce. Now you can add Lindsay to that list," a family friend tells me. "And it's a way for them all to start over. No one in the family want anything to do with Lindsay's father [Michael Lohan] anymore and that includes sharing a last name."

Fortunately, California's prisons already use a handy inmate numbering system, so this change will not be problematic. Call her TAFKALL.
