Okay, so I don’t understand why everyone is so all over Lindsay Lohan about not attending her grandfather’s wake. The announement that he had passed away came almost mere moments after the latest very public battle with her father and he mentioned in one of his press releases that he expected everyone to be in attendance at the wake. So instead of going and making a bad situation worse, Lindsay instead went shopping with her girlfriend, Samantha in New York. And I don’t know what the big deal is!! From eCanada,

“Lindsay Lohan has decided to skip out on her grandfather’s wake, and instead went shopping with gal pal Samantha Ronson.

Lindsay Lohan’s relationship with her dad is going downhill fast.

A week after he verbally attacked Samantha Ronson, Lohan decided to fight back.

The Sun stated that she was going to skip her grandfather’s funeral.

It was reported that Lindsay Lohan spent time with Ronson in New York City shopping.

This is being seen as a real low move by Lindsay Lohan, showing the big problems that exist in the family.”

Yes, big problems exist in the family but I don’t think that Lindsay going to the funeral would have changed that. Michael Lohan is doing what he always does except this time it’s in one of the most abhorrent of ways. He is trying to control Lindsay yet again and this funeral gave him the perfect chance to corner her into a one-on-one confrontation. She has made it extremely clear that he will not be included in her life so why would she purposely go somewhere that she’ll know he’ll be?

Is that really the respectful funeral everyone had in mind? Instead of celebrating the life of the deceased and paying final respects, it becomes a show-down between Michael and Lindsay? Because everyone knows that’s what it would have turned into. There’s no rule that says that you need to be in a funeral home to remember those you love, talk to them, and say goodbye. I think Lindsay did the absolute right thing and people need to start giving this girl a break!

Just as everyone predicted, Michael Lohan has come back to the media after his daughter Lindsay accused him of being out of control and a media hog. This is especially interesting to me because from the reports that I read, it was Samantha Ronson that talked the most trash about Mr. Lohan and while Lindsay posted some harsh words of her own, she allowed her girlfriend to have most of the joy. It just seems even weirder to me because you would think that the person you lash back out against is the person that said the worst but, I guess that wouldn’t get enough media attention. As usual, what he says makes absolutely no sense as it is reported by The Pop Crunch Show,

“Michael told ABC News late Thursday: “She’s (Lohan) gone from making $7 million to less than a million a movie.

“Who’s out of control? I go to church. I go and help people in rehab. That’s control. How can she say I’m out of control?”

He adds, “I want Lindsay to be in a good place. When I started looking at what Samantha was doing, dragging Lindsay to clubs, drinking around Lindsay… Samantha is one of the biggest problems in her life.”

“That’s what Dina told me. I’m reacting on what Dina said, but then Dina steps out of the picture because she wants to look like the good guy.”

“Dina’s a two-face. She wants to try to look good and stay on Lindsay’s good side instead of being a good parent. I don’t give two hoots about my relationship with Lindsay as a friend. One day she’s going to turn around to me and tell me, ‘Daddy, you were right’.”

Michael, several things are wrong with this.

1.) I’m fairly certain Lindsay will not come back and say that you’re right.

2.) Although you may not care about your friendship with your daughter, you should care about your relationship with her as your daughter - which you don’t. Trust, loyalty, a sense of being there for each other are all elements of friendship but you must have them in a parental role as well.

3.) If you’re so insistent on making us all think that you don’t see dollar signs when you look at Lindsay, stop telling us all what she makes!! And then act disgusted by it!!

4.) Going to church and helping people in rehab are both good things. Neither means that you have control or that you’re a good father.

5.) It was once Samantha entered the picture that the bar and public drunk scenes were taken out of it.

I would think that someone who was so ripe on getting the media involved would prepare something to say that made a little more sense and was a little more mature.

Michael Lohan should know better by now to not run to the media with gripes about his daughter - especially when it involves her girlfriend, Samantha Ronson.These two are an extremely strong force when together and Lindsay’s dad - of all people! - should realize that they will not simply lie down and let you walk all over them. Of course, because it’s Michael Lohan that we’re talking about, I’m sure he’s foreseen this media war and the prospect has overjoyed him. He recently lashed out at the two, specifically Samantha and she stays on course by attacking him through her blog. Here is what Celebrity Dirty Laundry reported her blog had to say,

“I really don’t want to say anything because I feel like he wins. ‘He’ being the man who is so desperate for attention that he goes to the media whenever possible. I know I am being used, I am just a pawn - easy to sacrifice to feed his addiction. I am not standing in his way - I am not the reason he has no contact with his daughter - he is. His need to throw a tantrum for the whole world to hear is.”

Lindsay also wrote on her own blog saying that her dad was “out of control” and she also clearly indicated that he is not in her life because she chooses it to be that way. In other Lohan news, Lindsay’s grandfather passed away today and Michael has seized it as yet another opportunity to launch attack on his former family. Instead of saying how much the man will be missed and that he will forever live on in their hearts, this is what Celebrity Rights quoted Michael as saying,

“My father just, literally, died in my arms. I notified all my kids and my lawyer notified Dina’s attorney. Let’s see if she has the decency and respect to bring my kids to the wake and funeral. THIS will show her true colors!

“Thus, not even a call. But that’s par for the course with Dina! She didn’t even send a card or visit when he was sick.”

It’s pretty clear what Michael’s intentions are and whether you like Lindsay or you hate her, one can’t help but feel sorry for her for having such a horrible father. It’s always too bad when the parents get more caught up in the fame-hype than the children but this seems to be a case of the extreme.

Well, while Lindsay Lohan’s mom, Dina Lohan has seemed to be trying to make peace with her daughter by making gestures such as welcoming Lindsay’s girlfriend, Samantha Ronson into the family publicly, Lindsay’s father is taking another tactic when publicly speaking about his daughter’s relationship. The Evil Beet quotes him as saying,

“I’m not happy,” he says. “Ever since [Lindsay] got out of rehab and all these people came back into her life, things haven’t been right … People like Samantha Ronson don’t need to be around Lindsay. She shouldn’t be dragging Lindsay around nightclubs. Who was Samantha Ronson before Lindsay Lohan? She was nobody. She is using her for her own gain. All these people have inserted themselves into her life like parasites, and it’s not right. I’m done with them.”

Okay, there are a few things wrong with his statement. The first is that two of the people who have used Lindsay’s fame to their own advantage more than anyone are her parents and mostly it has been her father. The second point I’d like to make is that Samantha Ronson has been amazing for Lindsay and not only has Lindsay stayed out of the papers except for a few pics of her filming a movie and this whole “is she or isn’t she gay?” thing, her life has been fairly boring, in comparison of what it was not so long ago. The third very wrong thing about Michael Lohan opening his mouth and showing everyone once again how stupid he is, is the fact that he made this statement just after announcing his engagement. What’s wrong with a divorced man getting engaged? Nothing - except that his fiance, Erin Muller, is 24 years old. That’s a short two years older than his daughter. You know - the one who’s making all the bad choices.

Lindsay Lohan and her father Michael clearly don’t get along but I don’t understand why they need to drag it out for all the world to see. Well, I can see why she does because someone has to defend her and clearly, that someone is going to be her. But what he’s doing now is just ridiculous and there seems to be no reason for it.

Michael Lohan has now told the media that Lindsay had every intention of going on a mission to India soon with the church he belongs to. Say what?!? It’s absolutely preposterous!! And Lindsay seems to think so too. From Celebitchy,

“I just wish that he wouldn’t go and talk to the media,” she said Friday on radio’s The Billy Bush Show. “It’s not attractive to me, it really upsets me and I wish he would stop. … I love my father. I just don’t know why he’s doing what he’s doing. It’s a weird situation, very odd.”

And for whatever reason, Michael thought that he had to fight back. He phoned back into the radio show saying,

“I think we can all see that her present so-called friends and management have her focused on the wrong projects and things,” he told me. “If Lindsay would just listen to me and follow my guidance, like she did when her life was on the right path, and before the people you see now that are in her life, I guarantee that her life would straighten out and she’d be back to being the gifted actress everyone knew and loved.”

Besides these ridiculous stories about Lindsay travelling abroad to preach to people, what kind of father says these things about his daughter? He’s basically telling people that she’s no longer talented in her career of choice and that no one likes her anymore. Oh, that’s nice.

It sounds to me as though he is trying to make excuses for his daughter and he doesn’t realize that he no longer needs to. Lindsay’s choices, good or bad, are in fact Lindsay’s choices. It’s what we call being an adult. Did he ever stop to think that forcing her to live the “good girl” life may have had something to do with her out of control rebellion? Whatever the reasoning, she has her own life now and what she chooses to do with it is no one but Lindsay’s decision. Why does a parent need to be told that?

Dina Lohan is not the most celebrated parent in the world, for her obvious missteps in raising her daughter, Lindsay Lohan. I’ve compared her in the past to some pretty classic screw-ups, such as Lynne Spears, and she’s definitely on my Worst Celebrity Parents list, which pretty much starts with Angelina Jolie. Yes, I know, shame on me for not promoting child collecting and pseudo political promotion. Anyway, Michael Lohan has re-opened his divorce case with Dina Lohan, because apparently she did not exactly fulfill all the agreements. From Us Magazine:

“Michael Lohan says he plans to reopen his divorce against his ex-wife Dina, claiming that she has made it “hard as hell” for him to see their three children.

“I gave her the family house, all the furniture and the $200,000 she owed me just so that I could see my kids and have a relationship with them,” Michael tells New York’s Daily News.

He says Lindsay’s grandparents also haven’t seen their granddaughter “even though my father is dying, and my mother was in a car accident on Easter.

“[Dina] told me, ‘It’s up to the kids if they want to see their grandparents,’” he adds. “But she’s made no effort to put them in touch or make this happen.”

Michael also says Dina’s upcoming E! reality show was — gasp! – his idea.

“It’s the exact same show I pitched,” he claims. “She even used my title.”

On Monday, Michael released a statement to Usmagazine.com, insisting that “Lindsay has NOTHING to do with me opening my divorce case or any other suits that are being filed against Dina.”

He said that “Dina uses people, gets what she wants and then turns her back on them or claims the ideas were hers all along. She thinks the law doesn’t apply to her or her family since they always get away with things and use Lindsay’s name to do it.”"

This is most likely the case, but whoa… Lindsay doesn’t visit her dying grandparents?! Wow, that’s harsh. Right, it is up to Lindsay, who is an adult, and Dina is an idiot who obviously refuses to be held accountable for anything; so why doesn’t this supposedly reformed party girl get off her ass and go see her family? Personal issues, maybe. I hope Michael Lohan fries Dina when this case re-opens. I’ve never liked the wench, personally.

Do you know, it’s funny, I keep wanting to type Riles Giley? What the hell? Anyway, Lindsay Lohan, known as Firecrotch to –most people, has broken up with poor Riley Giles, the guy no one knew until she picked him out of rehab, –a relationship destined to last, we all thought. From People:

“Lindsay Lohan and Riley Giles, the 25-year-old snowboarder she met while seeking treatment at Utah’s Cirque Lodge, have ended their relationship, sources confirm to PEOPLE.

“They’re over – they’ve broken up,” a source says. “They split after Thanksgiving weekend.”

Adds another source: “She is concentrating on her life and her career.”

Lohan, 21, checked out of the exclusive Cirque Lodge on Oct. 5. She had been there since August. (The breakup was first reported by E! News.)

A week after his daughter had left Cirque Lodge, Lindsay’s father, Michael Lohan, told PEOPLE about Giles: “He’s a great, great kid. If you met him, you’d like him.”"

Yeah, coming from Michael Lohan, that must mean a lot. A family famous for their dysfunctionality, approves of the boyfriend that Lindsay Lohan, their rehab-friendly daughter, found in “Cirque Lodge” which sounds like a hotel for clowns. Now that Lindsay Lohan and Riley Giles have broken up, I can’t help but wonder if we’ll be seeing Riley again, and what Lindsay’s next abomination will be.

Kate Moss is still planning on eventually moving away from Pete Doherty. You know, after all the heroin implants they’ve been through together…

Nicole Richie is whisked away to jail for a whopping four days for her DUI charges. I wonder how long before she gets a mysterious illness too?

Britney Spears takes her children for a vacation in Las Vegas without getting Kevin’s permission, as per necessary in their custody agreement; where Britney’s bodyguard beats the hell out of a photographer, and accidentally injures Britney’s toddler.

Bono and Penelope Cruz are getting all snuggly. They weren’t avoiding the spotlight at all; holding hands and smiling at the paparazzi, on Club 55 harbour beach.

Lindsay Lohan’s dead beat dad, Michael Lohan, has to pay Dina Lohan $500 a week. Couldn’t keep that cute Parent Trap act going, huh Lindsay?

Rumer Willis; daughter of Demi Moore and Bruce Willis, was caught in a drug bust in a Maryland hotel. Rumer however, has already been pretty clear about her level of class, when she was photographed eating condoms.

Angelina Jolie is miserable because her movie ‘A Mighty Heart’ was a box office failure, and made a mere $9 million on opening. Look out Brad, before she adopts some more third world babies!
