Lindsay Lohan ditches her surname
Bespeckled thespiatrix Lindsay Lohan has dealt a serious blow to the El Reg space paper plane bureau by announcing she's going to drop the "Lohan" and emerge as just "Lindsay". According to her mum Dina, there are two reasons for the rebrand: first up, loads of megacelebs like Oprah and Beyonce thrive on a first-name-only basis …

Celebutard?
Celebutard? I always thought it was "celebretard"... Though I suppose either way it gets the desired point across.
Paris, obviously!
It's a three-fer (or a three-way)
I think the idea behind celebutard is to combine celebrity, debutante, and retard (a "word" I eschew).
Retard
"I think the idea behind celebutard is to combine celebrity, debutante, and retard (a "word" I eschew)."
Indeed. Retard isn't AFAIK a noun and shouldn't be used as such, unless you happen to be a septic in which case it seems to be acceptable to use a nound as a verb or a verb as a noun or probably an adjective as either.
I seem to recall a Calvin and Hobbes strip where Calvin declares his liking for "verbing words". Hobbes replies that maybe one day they will be able to make language a complete impediment to understanding.
Re: Retard
It's wordplay. You know? It doesn't have to make perfect sense, but then I realise the audience we're dealing with here.
Apparently Michael has claimed that Lohan is "a name of integrity"
you can hear the laughter from 60,000ft
What above Earth are you doing at 60,000ft???
Sigh...
This is the P.A.R.I.S section, did you not get it?
Paris... well... as above, really - she always gets it
Possibly
Getting away from Lindsay Lohan? Sorry, I forgot, she's now rebranded. I'll start again with her new proper name:
Getting away from Lindsay, that's spelt T W A T.
I can think of lots of acronyms but none sadly for your space plane.
I was too slow and you beat me to typing just what I was thinking.
If this wasn't in the PARIS section I would have been very keen to point out that it isn't IT related (I never thought I would be saying that) and more importantly, that no one really cares what the useless, talentless and Z listed American chav does with her drug / alcohol addled life.
No, no, no
"Getting away from Lindsay, that's spelt T W A T."
No, no, that's staying close. You didn't pay attention in biology, did you?
What about this?
Lindsay = Low income notwithstanding, daring into space attempting yardage? Mmmm.. Not good enough, I could not find a better one with "y"
Maybe someone else can find a better one. Come on, Ubuntu comes up with even more ridiculous naming each release.

Just don't forget the salty fish payload.
The biggest problem with this plan
is that she's not a megacelebrity, but a two-bit actress of dubious ability and alley-cat morals.
That's only the second biggest
The biggest: Oprah, Beyonce, Lindsay. One of these names is not like the other.
you forgot Ernie
Oprah, Beyonce, Lindsay, Ernie. Only three have been on Sesame Street......and that's a true measurement of talent ;-)

You can get the best of the two worlds: Largely Inebriated Newspage Dares Sending Airplanes Yonder.
Previous PARIS coverage gives plenty of support for that affirmation!

Forget the space elevator, just have some bloke on the ISS with a bloody long yo-yo string.
He lets it down and you quickly clip a payload onto it as it comes within a few feet of th eground, then with a flick of the wrist it's on it's way orbit-ward.

I think Naomi is one of the better candidates
A lot of the other suggestions so far such as Keira Knightley, Natalie Portman, Anna Chapman, etc don't really have the right ingredients for "celebutard" status as I understand it.
For a viable candidate, we need:
* A colossal ego
* A lack of intelligence, or pretence thereof
* Regular newspaper articles detailing their latest screw-up or hissy fit
Possible others include:
* Being female (if we want to keep the PARIS, LOHAN, ?? theme running)
* An IT angle would be beneficial (the infamous Youtube video for Miss Hilton and the Blackberry incident would qualify Miss Campbell - couldn't really say for the former Miss Lohan)

I had to cheat and stick some of your sponsors in, oh and the plane needs to be orange for this to work, no thanks required!
I think...
It's because she doesn't like being known as LiLo!

Also, I had to Google miss Lohan. Quite pretty..... now if I could get her to wear some beer googles...
