Dina Lohan

Dina spoke to TMZ in more than a 20 minute interview taped in three parts about how Michael Lohan is hurting not only Lindsay but their other four children.

“It’s time now that someone has to speak out for my children because I not only have Lindsay, but I have four children who have to go to school everyday, and my son’s in college, gets ridiculed on the lacrosse field, so you know, it’s just got to stop,” Dina Lohan told TMZ in a phone interview.

Throughout the interview, Dina says that the tapes he has released are old – they are from before Lindsay went to rehab - and they are edited to be twisted the way he wants them to be.

When asked how Lindsay feels about what her father has done now releasing the audio tapes, Dina skirts the question mostly, but says they “all” feel very hurt, betrayed and scared. The whole family, including Lindsay, has security to keep Michael Lohan away.

Dina also is adamant that Lindsay is doing well.

“Lindsay is fine now, she’s wonderful,” Dina says.

The TMZ hosts very nicely tell Dina many people are rooting for Lindsay, but says there are many who are worried about Lindsay and how she’s doing, especially seeing her in the clubs night after night.

Dina made it perfectly clear that Lindsay is 23 and can go to clubs, but says Lindsay does have problems from a lot of the things she witnessed growing up.

Dina also goes deep into her past as a victim of domestic abuse.

“Lindsay knows in her heart that I’m a victim of domestic violence,” Dina says.

“She saw him hit me, she saw him slit his wrist in a bathtub full of blood, she saw him do things,” Dina told TMZ, saying the damage and pain is there, and it has to come out.

Dina also said the paparazzi makes it hard when they are following girls like her and Britney Spears around 24/7, ready to “push these kids over the edge.”

Because she had a criminal protection order against Michael during the times when these phone calls were made (when he was ordered by law not to contact her), Dina says the police or DA may be able to file charges. And don’t forget, Dina says, he’s behind on his child support too and they are looking into enforcement of that as well. She wouldn’t mind a gag order either.

“To me, it’s so hurtful to my children more than myself. I don’t care what he says about me. A child goes to a parent in a weak moment, and for them to eliminate that worldwide and do that to your own child is just inconceivable to me,” Dina told TMZ.

Dina also confirms that Lindsay hasn’t spoken to her father in months – and the only reason why he saw her a while back (after her burglary?) was when he barged into her hotel room.

After listening to Dina Lohan talk to TMZ, what do you think? What do you think Michael Lohan will do now?

Despite Lindsay’s mom Dina Lohan’s critical interview with the New York Post, Michael Lohan said he will do what he has to do to help his daughter.

“As far as Lindsay is concerned, if she goes into a rehab, I will stop,” he told RadarOnline.com exclusively. “But if the lies continue and the prescription drug use doesn’t stop, neither will I.”

Michael Lohan said he started his battle to help Lindsay privately but was forced to go public “like Martin Sheen and others.”

“I wasn’t going to let people hear Dina’s drunken rants about Lindsay, and I certainly wasn’t going to let people hear anything about Lindsay, but now that Dina and Lindsay continue to lie and deny their problems, and even make up stories about me, NOW you will see and hear Lindsay’s calls and texts. I am NOT the liar, they are. Hopefully then, they will realize how deceptive and in denial they are and finally realize that lying and denial are part of their addictions,” Michael Lohan told RadarOnline. “I am sorry I had to take this route, but I have tried and tried to help Linds and I have been lied about long enough.”

Meanwhile, Lindsay’s recent Twitter rant about her father  makes it clear how she feels about him right now.

I know Lindsay fans just hope that her father isn’t right, though many fans think Michael Lohan  could approach the situation less publicly.

Lindsay says she was inspired by Richard Branson, the billionaire businessman who hosted the Virgin Unite event which benefits the Eve Branson Foundation.

“I am a very big fan of the things that Richard Branson does,” Lindsay said. “I met him in Dubai (at the opening of the Atlantis, The Palm in December 2008, I guess). I really respect that he incorporates charity in all that he does.”

Lindsay says that she will go to India before Thanksgiving for the BBC documentary — but they are still working out the times and dates.

“It all happened actually when I was in Dubai. I like to support charities. I think it’s important to have a voice when you do have one and you can make a difference,” Lindsay said. “It’s on the trafficking of children and women in India.”

Lindsay said she is kinda nervous about her upcoming trip to India, but not as nervous as her mom Dina Lohan.

“I’m a little nervous but I”m excited to do something like that. My mom is actually a lot more scared than I am. She doesn’t want me to go, she’s scared,” Lindsay said.

But for Lindsay, it will be worth it because it’s a good cause.

“I think that if you are in a position where you can say something people will listen to and make a difference — no matter what else gets said because I know I deal with that more than most people at this point — I think you should use it,” Lindsay said. “I think you should use your voice for the right reason. There’s no reason you shouldn’t. That’s what validates you at the end of the day. That when you get home and ‘oh, wow, I did something really good today. I feel good about myself’
no matter what – anything that happens. That’s what settles in.

I think what Lindsay said above is perfect. You, go girl!

Lindsay was wearing a short sheer black dress and eye-catching black heels. From the waist down, the dress appeared to be layers of tulle wrapped around her — with the material gathered on her backside.

E! Online interviewed Lindsay — asking her what she thought about the suspects in the the burglary of her home being arrested.

“[That's] the most awkward question you could possibly ask,” she told E! News. “Yeah, I’m talking to the detectives, but it’s nobody’s business but my own.”

“[I'm relieved] to an extent, but I don’t really know that much information,” she told E!. “I will know hopefully soon.”

When asked about her sister Ali Lohan being in the spotlight more, Lindsay was defensive.

“My sister is a good girl and she knows what to do,” Linsday told E!.

Lindsay Lohan’s

The interview was done during Lindsay’s time in Paris, where she preparing for the launch of the new Ungaro collection as her role as creative advisor.

Needless to say, the article is not very favorable for Lindsay.  The photo shoot by Ellen von Unwerth shows photos of Lindsay in her Paris hotel room with designer clothes thrown all over the place and in awkward angles. Honestly, to me, it appears they were trying to make her look bad or make her room look “chaotic.”  But  that’s just my opinion.

“I’ve always been really interested in, you know, the fashion industry, and I really have a great appreciation for designers, and all the work that goes into one piece of clothing, and how expressive it can be,” Lindsay told The Sunday time about her experience working with Ungaro before the fashion show. “This is more personal to me. It is more about who I am and what I want to say as a person through clothing.”

After hearing the mostly negative reviews from the fashion show, Lindsay had this comment:

“Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I didn’t expect everyone to be completely loving the collection. It is the same with everything I have done. I knew that people were going to target me. I am a target. I don’t know why I am, but I am, and I accept that. I just don’t pay attention to it,” Lindsay told The Sunday Times.”

Lindsay also had been spotted shopping at Dior and Curve. In these set of photos, Lindsay is wearing a trendy black trenchcoat over her black leggings, beige top and black jacket.

According to OK Magazine, Lindsay also attended the launch for Victoria’s Secret new scent “Velvet.”

At this event, Lindsay was quite talkative — saying all of the Lohan girls plan to pursue their gifts – shoes for mom Dina Lohan, singing for sister Ali Lohan and designing, acting and singing for Lindsay.

Here’s what Lindsay said about her sister when questioned if she gives her advice about her music career.

“I don’t really give her any advice. When we’re together she’s my sister. We don’t really talk about it. It’s just a lot of work and she knows that from watching me,” Lindsay said according to OK Magazine.

Lindsay said news for her mother’s shoe line took her by surprise.

“She’s excited. And she has great taste in shoes. Since I’ve been a little girl I’ve always known my mom to be in heels. Never in flats. So I would buy her flats and she would never wear them. They’ll all be heels,” Lindsay told OK Magazine.

Lindsay also had a lot to say about fashion and her role as the artistic advisor for Ungaro.

“I’m going back to Paris,” Lindsay said. “The next collection that they have is already in January. I was thinking about March — thinking that I have until March — and they’re like, oh no-no-no it’s January in New York. I was like, (gasp) okay… I’ll be back!”

Does that mean Lindsay is headed back to Paris really soon? I’m not sure.

Lindsay said she also is working on acting again and starting her music career back up.

“I want to play [silent film star] Clara Bow. I’ve been working for a while now, getting the rights to her life story. I have someone writing it,” Lindsay said.

Lindsay also told OK Magazine she would love to be on HBO’s True Blood.

“I’m obsessed with True Blood,” Lindsay told OK Magazine.

By the way, it appears that Lindsay has deleted some of her recent tweets about on-off girlfriend Samantha Ronson’s family. The only one that remains is this Tweet from Monday:

@samantharonson what happened?

According to this paperwork, it appears so. Check out this video of Michael Lohan discussing the cease and desist order. (He does discuss Lindsay a little too in this video)

Dated Oct. 5, the letter from Stephanie G. Ovadia & Associates in New York is addressed to Mario Lavandeira aka Perez Hilton.

The letter says the firm has been retained to demand that Perez Hilton refrain displaying renderings on photographs or pictures of Michael Lohan as they are causing him “distress, embarrassment, annoyance and harm to my client.”

The firm asks that the photos and tags superimposed on the renderings, which can be interpreted as obscene and/or defamatory, be removed because they have not be authorized by Michael Lohan.

Basically, Perez Hilton’s blog likes to computer-draw little pictures or words around celebrity photos. I’m not a lawyer so I don’t know if anything will come of this. I’m sure a lot of celebrities would like it if these words disappeared from their photos on his blog. For example, he calls The O.C.’s Mischa Barton “Mushy,” which irritates the crap out of me.

Here is one recent example of Perez’s drawings on Michael Lohan’s photo, this one with Jon Gosselin.

By the way, here are links to a couple more of Access Hollywood videos where Michael Lohan is discussing his claim that Lindsay is addicted to prescription drugs, and then one with Dina Lohan at her shoe line announcement discussing her husband’s claim and another one where she says leave Lindsay alone.

Dina Lohan

 ”I don’t go — like my ex  on national television and make things up. He’s estranged from Lindsay; he doesn’t know what’s going on in her life. Michael doesn’t talk to her,” Dina Lohan told the New York Post.

Dina Lohan was speaking at a conference where her new shoe line collaboration with I Love Shoes! was formally announced.

And the fact that Michael Lohan doesn’t play much of a role in their children’s lives has Dina Lohan justifably angry at her ex.

“I’ve had full custody of all my children for the last 10 years. He has been incarcerated for some of that time, so whatever is going on in Lindsay’s personal life is our business. And for him getting paid to say things about her when he’s five months behind in child support is wrong,” Dina Lohan told the New York Post.

 ”I can’t change Michael to make him do the right thing — that’s up to him and God. But it is hurtful for a child for her own father, whom she has no relationship with, to say things in public about her like that,” Lohan continued.

When asked by the newspaper if Lindsay has an addiction problem, Dina said she has no idea what her ex is talking about and can’t comment on everything he says.

Lindsay’s mom said Lindsay also was hurt by criticism for her role in the Ungaro fashion line.

 ”The critics can say whatever they want, but Lindsay is a genius,” Dina Lohan said.

Lindsay and Ali  Lohan both play a limited role in the new shoe line, Dina said, noting that Shoe-han won’t be the name of the line.

 ”We are not going to announce the name so every Google and MySpace buys the domain name. Lindsay is signed to Ungaro, but she will definitely have input because she is so talented,” Dina said.

More than anything, Dina wants the press to let her personal life stay her personal life.

“Leave Lindsay alone. Let her be a real 23-year-old. Let her grow, and let her artistic abilities flourish. Stop judging the Britneys and the Lindsays. They are very creative girls, and that is a gift from a higher power of God,” Dina said.

“I’m thrilled. I couldn’t be more thrilled to be part of such an amazing team of people and collection. And it’s only going to get better, better and better,” Lindsay said during a press interview.

When questioned about what she thinks about those who say she doesn’t have the experience to do the job, Lindsay says everyone is entitled to their opinion.

“They probably will but everyone is entitled to their own opinion. But Estrella and I are doing great things, so that’s all that matters,” Lindsay said.

Here, Estrella Archs and Lindsay talk about how excited they are about the launch:

“I couldn’t be happier. It’s just seeing everything together,” a very excited Lindsay Lohan said during the interview. “We’ve been in the office over there until 1 (a.m.) in the morning – and 3 (a.m.) – it’s just – a dream.”

When asked if Lindsay could see a lot of “herself” in the collection – she said it both Lindsay and Estrella -as they both like to wear the same thing.

“It’s incredible – everything that’s happened tonight,” Lindsay said.
