Michael Lohan Apologies for Celebrity Gossip Leaks

Cue the violins for Michael Lohan.

A sorrowful voice mail left by the ex-convict to daughter Lindsay Lohan has hit the Web. In the audio clip, Michael apologizes to his daughter for constantly talking to the press about her life. His bad!

Here are excerpts from the message:

I know that you were annoyed that I gave an interview and my need to comment about the people you are around... Honey, I'm sorry. I am telling you, I just love you. And I promise you, I absolutely promise you, I will not mention your name in the press, at all, ever again.

Michael Lohan loves attention more than his family.

One of the reasons why I got so concerned is because we used to talk all the time. We were always texting, and then the texting was sporadic. You weren't returning phone calls, so I was concerned.

Look, I love you, honey. Please, please don't do this anymore. Pick up the phone and talk to me. Everything from now on is between you and me [with the exception of this voice mail, which I leaked to make me look sympathetic]. And I promise you, I will not go back on it, I will not break my word...

Will Lindsay take Michael up on his word? Do you even care if she does? And what does possibly illegitimate daughter Ashley Kaufmann think of all this?
