Michael Lohan Moves to L.A. to Help Lindsay

Michael Lohan has moved to Los Angeles to be with his troubled daughter Lindsay. Whether she approves or even knows about this is unlikely, but good for him!

The douchenozzle says he moved from N.Y. to L.A. this week, to be closer to various celebrity news media outlets Lindsay, who's undergoing rehab and therapy.

Remarkably self-aware for once, M-Lo knows Linds would rather be left alone in a room with Sam Ronson's dog than talk to him, but hopes that will change.

Will Lindsay Lohan even speak to her father Michael in L.A.?

As she becomes "clean and sober," the elder Lohan says their long-troubled relationship may turn around. We wouldn't hold our breath, but here's hoping.

Michael blames the wedge between him and Lindsay on his ex-wife and her terrible mother Dina, saying, "If wedges hadn't been put between us and people didn't use children as pawns, many problems suffered by children wouldn't happen."

Harsh, but true ... and a tad ironic coming from Mike.
