Lindsay Lohan and Father Michael’s Emotional Reunion

Lindsay Lohan reunited with her estranged father Michael at the Betty Ford rehabilitation center in California yesterday, RadarOnline.com reports.

It was the pair’s first meeting in seven months.

“It was an emotional reunion,” a source tells Radar. “There were hugs, kisses and even a few tears when Michael and Lindsay first saw each other. They spent hours together; it was not a fleeting encounter, this appeared well-planned in advance.”

The reunion was a shocker, considering LiLo’s recent comments to Vanity Fair — “I think my biggest focus for myself is learning how to continue to get through the trauma that my father has caused in my life,” she said over the summer.

The reunion took place around 1PM Sunday at the Betty Ford Center in Rancho Mirage, California, Radar writes. The site’s source says Michael’s visit came at Lindsay’s invitation.

“Michael turned up at Betty Ford with some gifts and items for Lindsay,” one insider says.

Asked for comment, Michael Lohan told Radar: “I have pledged not to comment about anything relating to my daughter. However, what I will say is that I am an incredibly proud father tonight. My daughter is progressing extraordinarily well.”

The elder Lohan recently sent out what he dubbed his “final statement” to the media.

In April, Lindsay called her father a “pathological liar” on Twitter, writing, “When will it ever end … it’s been going on my whole life with him — hasn’t he caused enough pain?”

Visiting ‘The Today Show’ on Monday, Dina Lohan told Matt Lauer that Lindsay could “absolutely” benefit from a healthier relationship with Michael.

‘Dallas’ 30 Year Reunion

The hit TV drama “Dallas” began thirty years ago and its stars are getting together for a reunion at the ranch.

Bobby, Sue Ellen and other members of the Ewing clan are getting back together for a “Dallas” reunion party.

Cast members of the popular prime-time soap opera that ran from 1978-91 will return to the Southfork Ranch north of Dallas on Nov. 8 to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the show. Several key actors, including Larry Hagman, Linda Gray and Patrick Duffy, have confirmed they will attend.

Hagman, who played central character J.R. Ewing, a scheming oil baron and cattle rancher, said he is looking forward to the event. “I may not be able to do the 40th,” said Hagman, 76, in an interview with The Dallas Morning News. “Thirty years is pretty good, and the show is still very popular.”

The reunion at the ranch in suburban Parker, north of Dallas, is open to the public. Tickets go on sale Aug. 22 and will cost between $100 and $1,000. The event will include fireworks, a country music concert, a question-and-answer session with the cast and tours of the mansion.

The show is perhaps best known for the “who shot J.R.?” cliffhanger that concluded the 1979-1980 season in which Hagman’s character was blasted within an inch of his life. (The shooter turned out to be J.R. Ewing’s sister-in-law, Kristin.)

“Dallas” featured the antics of a wealthy Texas clan that punched, slapped, drank, cavorted and schemed to gain control of the family fortune. The reunion promises to be tamer.

“Larry and I will have a bowl of Mueslix and a small shot of prune juice and be in bed by 9 o’clock,” Duffy, who played Bobby Ewing, told the newspaper. “We’ll let people file by the bed and watch us go to sleep. I think we can hang with the best of them until midnight.”

It’s amazing that it was that long ago.  Below is an undated photo from a recent reunion:

They’re even older now.  So are we.
