What is Going On With Lilo?

Here we have Lindsay Lohan looking ever the fashionista as she is spotted leaving her hotel in downtown Manhattan not that long ago. Yes she always seems to look great, but there are some concerns that she has been hitting the nightlife a little hard, and using prescription meds to ease the hangovers. And a little too much it seems, but that’s only what her father is saying. In fact he is so upset about his daughter that he has threatened to actually kidnap her if she doesn’t smarten up and go to rehab again on her own. Continuing his crusade to get his daughter Lindsay sober, the desperate dad threatens to abduct the ailing actress. Is this parenting? Or is he just trying to control his daughter again, in what the entire world knows now is one of the most turbulent public relationships a father and daughter can have. But it’s true. Michael Lohan is stepping forward to deliver the best damn fathering he can to his drug-addled daughter Lindsay. Of course, because this is Michael Lohan, who can’t do any parenting properly, that fathering would be a kidnapping threat. Michael sent a statement to the paparazzi agency X17 saying he’s hoping a judge will award him what’s known in the prestigious Entertainment Tonight School Of Lawyering as The Jamie Spears–a conservatorship over Lindsay’s financial and legal affairs, like the one Britney Spears is currently under. However, a man of compromise, he’s willing to settle for a little forced confinement.
“If I can’t get a conservatorship, then I’m going to take her to an undisclosed location and get her straight. But I know I’m gonna get charged with kidnapping.”
Yeah, because good parents weigh the odds when seriously considering taking their adult children against their will. And as you can imagine, Lindsay’s response is a hell to the no.
“Lindsay is actively getting a restraining order, her lawyer has already been contacted. She’s scared. This is really serious.”
Lindsay was in court on Friday to explain why she’s only about halfway through her alcohol education classes, a condition of her probation after she was charged with a DUI in 2007. She was given an extra year to complete the classes, to successfully complete her terms of probation. But of course, since he has nothing else but a potential kidnapping to put him in the news, Michael has been doing the talk-show rounds, attempting to embarrass her sober…or something. He also took his struggles to the first name in paternity tests, Maury Povich, on Friday.
“I’m not going to bury you, you’re gonna bury me before this is over,” he said to his estranged daughter through the camera. “I’m gonna do anything and everything I have to save your life, whether mom likes it, the public likes it, or anyone.”
Well, public, do we like it? For my two cents, it seems like this crusade is more about Michael than it is about Lindsay. But hasn’t it always been? But, to quote a source from Star’s current cover story on Lindsay’s non-exercise related “ROCK BOTTOM!,” “she could easily end up murdered.” So I guess we should pay some grudging respect to Michael for at least attempting to do something, even if that something is ride his daughter’s coattail into the nether regions of trash TV. Michael Lohan. What WILL he think of next.
