Lindsay Lohan is trying to pull a Beyonce and go by just one name because according to her mother, Dina Lohan, she plans on dropping “Lohan” from her name and will just be going by Lindsay from now on.
Dina says that “Lindsay is dropping the Lohan and just going by Lindsay, plus, me and [younger daughter] Ali will be officially changing our last names back to my maiden name, Sullivan.” Meanwhile a family friend, yeah we all know this family friend is just Dina herself, goes on to say:
“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, 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.”
Lindsay should just change her name to her prison number because she seems to spend more time in trouble with the police than she does with on movie sets. In other news Lindsay is apparently furious that Samantha Ronson was spotted kissing a girl the other day and Lindsay is planning on confronting Sam as soon as she gets off a plane to New York later on today.
Dina Lohan sat down with ’20/20′ reporter Chris Cuomo for an in-depth interview about her daughter Lindsay Lohan‘s struggles with addiction and the felony theft charges the actress is facing in California.
Dina reveals to Cuomo that she has been aware of her daughter’s troubles for some time. “I knew early on, I just didn’t tell anyone about it,” Dina says. “It was a personal situation.”
So basically, all that enabler stuff was correct. This woman is truly worthless.
“I saw it visually, what was happening. You know, I’m around my children. I was around Lindsay a lot, and I saw what was happening,” she tells Cuomo, noting that Lindsay’s troubles began almost immediately after the then-18-year-old movie star’s move from her native Long Island, New York, to Los Angeles in 2004.
“She’s a young girl struggling. You know, she’s not perfect. She’s learning as she goes, but she’s learning under a microscope, so I can’t even imagine how that is,” Dina says. “I believe [that Lindsay doesn't drink anymore], and I think it’s gonna be a lifelong struggle with addiction. But I think she’s gonna be OK.”
Dina says she believes Lindsay’s most recent stint in rehab, her fifth in less than four years, was successful. “I really think she was at a maturation level that she now understands what she needs to get from it. She grasps that.”
In a separate interview this morning on ‘Good Morning America,’ Dina praised Lindsay’s experience at the Betty Ford Center.
After violating her probation in a 2007 DUI case, a judge ordered the actress to jail followed by a lengthy stay at Betty Ford.
Lindsay was released from the center in January but soon after found herself in trouble again, this time for allegedly stealing a necklace from a Los Angeles jeweler.
The company is called Defiant Pictures and they are set to start production on a movie called “Growing Defiant.” The film will start shooting in early 2011 and will star Michael Lohan Jr.
According to the company, the movie “tells the story of three life long friends from upper middle class Long Island, who delve into the underworlds of heroin.” We’re told Dina is “really excited to tell this story.”
Michael Jr reportedly left school last October to shoot a movie role. I’m beginning to think Dina is actually worse at parenting than Michael.
Lindsay Lohan is currently in court to see whether or not she will be heading back to jail or rehab, but we will get to that later when the verdict comes in. For now let’s talk about somebody trying to murder Michael Lohan.
According to TMZ, Michael was attacked by a man in his 50′s or 60′s outside his home in Santa Monica last night and he cut his throat with a knife.
Michael told the police that an hour before the attack he received a threatening phone call and then when he went out to get some cigarettes the a man came up behind him and so started the attack.
The older man was wearing an all black track suit, he first started to choke Michael before pulling out some kind of shank and sliced Michael’s neck and arms.
Michael then fought the older man off, who ran away. Police came to the scene and began taking statements and stuff, they thing the motive behind the attack is because the man didn’t want Michael to show up at Lindsay’s court hearing today.
I know I shouldn’t laugh at any kind of violence but I did.
One of the biggest statement makers ever, Michael Lohan, has just made another statement to announce that he will no longer be making statments. Here is what he said…
“After serious thought and conversation last night, with someone who means alot [sic]to me. I am making this statement and fully intend on living by it.
With all due respect to those who have both gotten on my nerves for reporting things that weren’t true, ( as well as things that were), I want to make a public statement that I will not be commenting on ANYTHING relating to my daughter Lindsay, or ANYTHING my ex wife Dina, or any ‘sources’ related to her, might say.”
“After all the things said and the incidents which have transpired, I realize that no matter how wrong or right I may have been, at the end of the day, I was wrong for offending my ex wife and my children. Because of the spotlight and scrutiny we have been under, as well as my own “pride,” which has caused pain to my mother, (deceased father), brother, sisters and their sibling[s], I realize how my statements and actions have had a ripple effect on all of them. If it was me alone, it would be one thing, but I’m not. The things I have said and done, have cased hurt , pain and embarrassment for all of them.
That being said, I make this statement in humble supplication. And NO MATTER what accusations, lies or conjecture are disseminated to the public, about me, for the sake of the ones I love and with hope of creating peace, I WILL NOT respond , in ANY way, to what is said or done, to me.
MY family’s health and well being matters too much.
For the sake of those I offended, I apologize and ask their forgiveness. But even if they can’t find it in their heart to forgive, like I forgive them. I KNOW that God will have the last word and defend me in His own way.
So please refrain from from calling or contacting me.”
Right.

Lindsay Lohan is featured on the cover and in the October 2010 issue of Vanity Fair magazine, she gave an interview right before she headed to jail and as always it’s full of denial and placing the blame on to everybody else.
On denying abusing drugs: “I’ve never abused prescription drugs. I never have—never in my life. I have no desire to. That’s not who I am. I’ve admitted to the things that I’ve done—to, you know, dabbling in certain things and trying things ’cause I was young and curious and thought it was like, O.K., ’cause other people were doing it and other people put it in front of me. And I see what happened in my life because of it.”
On her alcohol addiction: “If I were the alcoholic everyone says I am, then putting a [SCRAM] bracelet on would have ended me up in detox, in the emergency room, because I would have had to come down from all the things that people say I’m taking and my father says I’m taking—so that says something, because I was fine.”
On the people she used to hang around with: “So many people around me would say they cared for the wrong reasons. A lot of people were pulling from me, taking from me and not giving. I had a lot of people that were there for me for, you know, the party.”
On wanting her career back: “I don’t care what anyone says. I know that I’m a damn good actress. And I know that in my past I was young and irresponsible but that’s what growing up is. You learn from your mistakes. I want my career back. I want the respect that I had when I was doing great movies. And if that takes not going out to a club at night, then so be it. It’s not fun anyway.”
On moving to Hollywood when she was young: “It was very go-go-go and I had a lot of responsibility; and I think just the second I didn’t have structure anymore I was 18, 19 with a ton of money and no one really here to tell me that I couldn’t do certain things … And I see where that’s gotten me now, and I don’t like it.”
If you smell terrible right now it’s not your co-worker farting, it’s just the strong stench of bullshit coming from Lindsay Lohan‘s mouth. Until this girl takes some responsibility for her actions she will always be fucked up.

Dina Lohan defended the way she raised her daughter Lindsay Lohan in an oft-tense interview with ‘Today‘ host Matt Lauer, saying she had to let the troubled actress go through personal trials in order to emerge a better person.
“As a parent, you have to let them go a little bit,” she said during the Friday morning chat. “When she went out to Los Angeles when she was 19, I had to let her live and fall and fail and survive. Without failure, there’s no success.”
Dina stressed that she does not condone Lindsay’s behavior — “You can’t make your child not go out and go to a club and not get behind the wheel of a car” — and confirmed reports that Lindsay will be released early from rehab, but declined to say exactly when.
Dina Lohan said her daughter, currently in court-ordered rehab, was doing “wonderfully” after 14 days in jail for a DUI probation violation. The showbiz mom blasted Judge Marsha Revel for going “overboard” with her sentence and reveled in her recent recusal of the case.
“The judge played hardball. Lindsay was in with alleged murderers and she’s become friends with a lot of them. Lindsay rolled with the punches and she’s doing wonderfully.”
So basically, everything was the judge’s fault. Clearly Dina Lohan is an enabler, and in complete denial. I don’t know who I loathe more, cause Michael Lohan is just as bad.
I seriously laughed when she accused Matt Lauer of reading TMZ.
