Lindsay Lohan Parents Ordered To Therapy

The warring parents of troubled actress Lindsay Lohan have been ordered to undergo family therapy by a New York judge.

Dina and Michael Lohan are currently battling over the latter's visitation rights to their two youngest children Aliana, 13; and Dakota, 11.

Former investment banker Michael was released from a New York state prison in March (07) after nearly two years behind bars for driving under the influence.

Michael is desperate to see Aliana, Dakota and his eldest kids Lindsay or Michael Jnr, but claims his ex-wife has violated the deal and has failed to make requisite child-support payments.

Nassau County Family Court judge Stacy Bennett ordered the couple to stop speaking negatively of each other in front of their kids and undergo counseling at a hearing on Monday (25Jun07).

Bennett also ordered Dina to allow Michael to have more frequent phone privileges with Dakota and Aliana.

The pair will return to court for a progress hearing on 6 September (07).

Following the hearing, Michael said, "They were my entire life. I miss them tremendously. I'm happy that I'll be reunited with my children, which I should have been a long time ago. It's in the best interests of the kids, I believe that God has his hand in this."

The pair exchanged insults, with Dux claiming Lohan family members are scared of Michael and "didn't sleep at night, even when he was in jail".

Stupid Dina Lohan Visits Lindsay, Forgot Court Hearing

Lindsay Lohan's mother Dina has angered a judge in Nassau, The Bahamas by missing a court hearing to visit her daughter in rehab in California.

Dina Lohan was due to appear in Nassau County Family Court to arrange visitation rights to her two youngest children - daughter Aliana, 13, and son Dakota, 10 - with her estranged husband Michael.

Dina's lawyer Warren Quaid told the hearing his client was preparing to fly to California to visit Lindsay in rehab.

Dina Lohan Lied About Professional Dancer Past

Lindsay Lohan's mother Dina lied about being a professional dancer with prestigious stage group The Rockettes, according to reports.

An investigation carried out by The New York Post found no trace of the star's mom during a thorough search of the dance group's records - and it seems the famous mother also made up her claims she appeared in the theatre and television ads.

A source tells the paper, "It's like claiming to have a degree from Harvard when you don't. It's a big deal to be a Rockette..."

"Look in Sag (Screen Actors Guild). Look in Aftra (American Federation of Television&Radio Artists). Dina isn't a member... She never did a Broadway show. She never did ads."

WTF Dina Lohan's Reality Show?

Lindsay Lohan's mother is set to star in a new reality TV show with her youngest children, Ali, 14, and Cody, 11.

Former actress Dina - who is renowned for her fame-hungry tactics - is in talks with entertainment network E! to star in 'Momager' in which she will attempt to launch Ali and Cody as stars.

A source told the New York Post newspaper: "Can you believe that? She totally messed up Lindsay by making her a 'star' and living vicariously through her - and now she's going to do the same to the other two?

"How can E! do this? Those kids should be in school having normal lives, the life that Lindsay didn't get to have."

Dina - who once dubbed herself "the white Oprah" - has been working as a guest presenter for 'Entertainment Tonight' to give the show "exclusives" with 20-year-old Lindsay.

The first piece she did was while the 'Mean Girls' star was a resident in the Wonderland rehab centre, and the second saw Dina work as a red carpet interviewer at the 'Georgia Rule' premiere.

Dina Lohan Thinks Lindsay Is Just Misunderstood

Lindsay Lohan's mother Dina has hit back at reports her daughter is an out-of-control party girl, insisting the Mean Girls star is simply "misunderstood".

The actress, who completed a month-long stay in rehab to battle her drink demons earlier this year, is frequently criticised for her wild lifestyle - particularly after photographs showing the star allegedly snorting cocaine in a hotel toilet emerged last month.

But her mother Dina is adamant the 20-year-old's reputation is over-exaggerated by the media, and believes Lindsay is just enjoying the perks of the entertainment industry.

She says, "This (premieres and parties) is the fun part of the business. She'll be 21 in a few months."

"Regardless, of course, as a parent, you set boundaries and scold them. But there are these dark stories - she is so misunderstood. All she wants to do is act and have a somewhat normal life. When you're 20, it's normal to want to go to The Ivy, to go to the hot stores, She can't live in a bubble."

Photographer Suing Lindsay Lohan

Lindsay Lohan Sighting In NYC

Actress Lindsay Lohan is being sued by a photographer for allegedly injuring him with her mother's car.

The 20-year-old was "negligent, careless and reckless" while driving a BMW on 13 March in New York, according to legal papers filed in the city by snapper Giovanni Arnold on Thursday (10May07).

Arnold claims he "sustained severe and permanent personal injuries" in the incident and was financially disadvantaged as a result.

The suit also names Lohan's mother Dina, but doesn't specify the amount in damages being sought.

No accident report was filed at the time of the alleged incident, although police were on the scene at the time.

During an interview with US chat show host David Letterman on Wednesday (09May07), Lohan was asked if she had run over a photographer's foot.

She replied jokingly, "No, but I should. The guy completely faked it."

What's Wrong With Lindsay Lohan's Face?

Dina Lohan, Calum Best and Lindsay Lohan

Lindsay Lohan hosts Nylon Magazine and DKNY Jeans Present Nylon Magazine's Young Hollywood Issue. I wonder if something happened that night? Could it be that her ex boytoy Calum Best was at the same party? I don't think that's the reason since she's all clinging to him but she looks pretty pissed about something.
