Lindsay Lohan
Gossip

Ding, ding!

Again, Michael Lohan has come out swinging against daughter Lindsay, who he claims he's trying to help but is really just humiliating with each publicity-crazed outburst.

This time, in response to Lindsay's Twitter attack on him yesterday (for releasing recordings of her phone calls to him), he says she's just "grasping at straws."

Mmmkay.

"When she gets angry she lashes out," Michael says. Wonder why ...

Naturally, Michael is defending his release of the Lindsay phone call tape, saying he did it because she belongs in rehab and the end justifies the means, or something.

Hello? I've got some dirt on Lindsay! $20,000 and it's yours!

Unfortunately for Lindsay, Michael is so "upset" about his daughter "calling him out" on Twitter, he's planning to release "everything" he has on her. Compassionate.

That supposedly includes texts of what a great father he is. Riiiight.

Michael Lohan did own up to doing drugs, which Lindsay Tweeted about in her rant yesterday: "I got my life back on track. I want her to get her life back on track."

Not sure how trashing your girl on every site or program that'll have you is what we'd call "getting your life back on track," but whatever helps you sleep at night.

Shockingly, Lindsay and mom Dina have not been in contact with him since this feud erupted. Well, with the exception of the protective order her lawyer is seeking.

Embattled and troubled star Lindsay Lohan has once again utilized her preferred means of communication - Twitter - to respond to leaked phone tape that surfaced late Wednesday after her father sought to "prove a point."

Her estranged dad, Michael Lohan, has been trying to get Lindsay to seek help for her problems. He accuses her mom and his ex, Dina, of covering up the truth.

The truth being that Lindsay is an addict who is spiraling out of control. Says he. To any celebrity gossip magazine or TV program that will pay attention. Sad.

Seriously, we're not disputing that Lindsay needs help, big time. But to flat out humiliate your daughter, who hates you as it is, isn't the best way to reach her.

Anyway, after the release of the tape, which depicted a hysterical, out of control Lindsay wailing, sobbing and begging for Michael's help, Lindsay was irate.

Here's what she had to say on her Twitter ...

Below are Lindsay's Tweets about Michael's latest ploy for attention.

"Better to not even mention his name, he's a deadbeat dad. He's disgusting to do this. He doesn't deserve attention. He needs help.

the more you tweet about my ex father's antics, the more he will sell!

Please don't spread his cruelty, just ignore it because it really hurts my mom for me and my siblings. I'd feel the same if I were a mother.

she blames herself for staying w/him for so long, I'd beg her not to leave b/c he always threatened to kill her if she did

after disappearing, then coming home after being gone for several days while cheating on my mother & abusing substances.

Its so sad that I even have to share this w/everyone, but I haven't had a real relationship w/Michael Sr. In years. That is the truth. Xox

I just hope I can show others how to be strong through times & to be able to stand up for yourself and loved ones no matter what! :) *

Good news is, I haven't called him many times @ all - so, it will end sooner than later!!! LOL"

She's called him a lunatic deadbeat dad who uses her for publicity.

Now Lindsay Lohan has taken her crusade against her estranged father, Michael, a step further and asked her attorney to take legal action, pronto.

The reason? Three minutes of a recorded audio tape released by him today reveal the troubled star's heart-wrenching and desperate plea for help.

The Lohan tape is the first of several which were recorded from phone calls Lindsay and mom Dina made to Michael, who leaked it to "prove a point."

The tape reveals a tortured, inconsolable Lindsay who whimpers like a child as she complains about problems with family and ex Samantha Ronson.

At one point, she wails, “No one cares about me ... It’s about how they feel, not how I feel. It’s not about me. It’s never been, unless I fight for it.”

The alleged actress contacted her lawyer, Shawn Chapman Holley, Wednesday, to request an immediate restraining order against Michael Lohan.

B!TCH PLEASE: Train wreck Lindsay Lohan has had enough of her loudmouth dad and his so-called efforts to help her wreckalicious a$$, thankyouverymuch.

Don't ask us who records their daughter's phone calls on a routine basis, but whatever point he's trying to make, Michael is going about it all wrong.

Brutally embarrassing your little girl using the media as your personal mouthpiece? Not exactly the way to win her respect, guy. Just our two cents.

Michael has been selling his daughter out on TV, talking about her alleged drug use, calling her a sad, hollow person, saying she's gonna die, etc.

Chapman Holley is currently putting together a case against Michael and will decide in the near future which legal move makes the most sense.

Aside from getting a restraining order to get him to shut his damn yap, Chapman Holley could file a defamation lawsuit against Michael on Lindsay's behalf.

Chapman Holley is also getting in touch with authorities in New York, trying to find out if Michael Lohan may be in violation of a criminal protective order.

This was pretty much inevitable. Whether she's tearing her dad a new one in interviews or snogging anything with a pulse, LiLo has never been one to lie low.

According to reports, she mauled Gerard Butler in full view of reporters over the weekend, a development that certainly won't sit well with Jennifer Aniston.

Well, it wouldn't sit well with her if she were actually involved with Butler (her co-star in The Bounty) which she probably isn't and never was. But anyway.

Lindsay partied at the launch of the Sol Kerzner Mazagan Beach Resort in Morocco. There, she opened up to OK!, confiding in the mag about life and love:

“I’m fed up of all the drama. I just want to find someone who loves me back. I feel like I’m going to have a heart attack every time I think about the break-up. I came here to get away from it all. I’m ready to have fun now.”

Jennifer Aniston's "boyfriend" Gerard Butler nailed Lindsay Lohan! Anyone surprised? Well, about the Lohan part. We doubt Gerard and Jen are or were an item.

Not long after that inspiring quote, she was locking lips with Gerard Butler. Looking fantastic in a slinky, black dress, Lindsay made her move on the Scot.

She put her Trilby on his head, turned up his collar and started dirty dancing. They ended up in a corner kissing, followed by more dancing and flirting.

Lindsay told us: “He’s hot, he’s mine! I’ve got no ring on my finger so I’m gonna have lots of fun. This is the most romantic place in the world after all.”

Then they were seen leaving together in a golf cart. Way to go, Gerard on becoming the latest in a long line of men (and women) to see Lindsay Lohan nude!

Yesterday, we chronicled the rise and fall of Lindsay Lohan, train wreck in the making. Lately, her estranged dad, Michael, has been discussing this deeply personal topic to anyone who will listen and pushing for her to get the help she needs.

To say she remains unmoved would be an understatement.

Lindsay Lohan has taken to Twitter to slam her dad, following reports that he is seeking a Britney Spears-style conservatorship over her, among other things:

"My father is a lunatic & doesn't even deserve such a title since he's never been around in my life other than when he'd threaten me & my family," she wrote.

Scathingly, the starlet continued: "He should be where he has always put himself after verbally abusing and physically abusing people all my life-behind bars."

Lindsay, 23, also wrote that sister Ali Lohan, 15 going on 45, is concerned about Michael, who recently accused their mom, Dina, of covering up her addictions.

"It's so sad to get a phone call from my baby sister asking, 'why is daddy doing this?' Through tears. He crossed the line & hurt me & my family 4 the last time."

The Lohans take the term family feud to new heights. Or depths.

Last week, Michael Lohan claimed that he would air on ET taped phone conversations between himself and Dina, in which they discuss Lindsay Lohan's well-being.

Dina Lohan says she and Lindsay plan to prevent the tapes from going public: "We're going to stop it from airing. He is in violation of my order of protection."

"My attorney sent a cease-and-desist letter, and a copy of my order of protection I have against him. He is now in violation of my criminal order of protection."

"He harasses me, calls my cell phone, which he is not allowed to."

In response to Dina's disdain for him, Michael said "Look, I know sometimes in the past I've said things I shouldn't have. [But right now] I have to help my child."

Be that as it may, Dina says Lindsay is planning to obtain a restraining order against her fatherr. Says Dina: "[Michael] is desperate and spiraling out of control."

Lindsay Lohan used to be so cute. So fresh-faced, so innocent.

Now she's a slow-moving train wreck that's picking up speed.

The only question is when and where that train is going to crash, and if the result will be catastrophic. Can the coked-up engineer of this locomotive be saved?

Yeah. We know.

In just a few short years, she's gone from an adorable 'tween movie star to a shell of a woman whose Wikipedia page features a long, four-paragraph section called "Car Accidents, DUIs and Rehabilitation." That's never a good sign.

She's withering away, both literally and otherwise. That fresh, innocent face is long gone, a pair of comically enhanced lips all that remains in its wake.

Check out these Lindsay Lohan pictures from 1998-present and see how far she's come ... and not in a good way. We hope this photo montage inspires the people around her to step in and help before it's too late and she slips away:

In an epic battle for Worst Parent of All Time, Michael Lohan says he can prove that his ex-wife is covering up their daughter's myriad addiction problems.

He's got her on tape, he says!

"Dina is saying that I'm lying here - that Lindsay doesn't have a problem and that she's okay," Michael naturally lamented to the New York Daily News.

"But I have proof that Dina has told me Lindsay is on death's doorstep, that she doesn't have much time left. There have been frantic calls about this."

"And I'm going to prove that Dina is the liar, not me."

The whole world is about to hear it, too. Michael is set to air his ex's dirty laundry, via numerous voicemail messages, on Entertainment Tonight Monday.

Michael says he'll do "whatever it takes" to get Lindsay back on track. "I want her off prescription medication," he insisted. "I'm not going to stop until then."

"As the mother of my kids, I won't slam Dina personally," he said.

"But she has expressed to me that Lindsay is in dire, dire need of an intervention. And Lindsay needs to see that her mother is either lying to me or lying to her."

His recent public rant on Maury Povich and later on Access Hollywood in the past week alone - have left Lindsay quite unmoved. Will this stunt be any different?

We wouldn't expect it. Especially not with comments like this from pop:

"Dina says positive things about Samantha [Ronson] to Lindsay," says Lohan, "but then when Dina talks to me, she blames Lindsay's downfall on the Ronsons."

"If Dina and her cohorts want to keep lying, I could [keep exposing her] for a year - on many different subjects," Michael said, pulling his best Levi Johnston.

"My lawyers told me to keep every single conversation - and I did."

Earlier, we told you about how Lindsay Lohan sat down with the Sunday Times and lamented how she is a target and walks around with a bulls-eye on her back.

Well, these things are wont to happen when one forgets to put on pants.

Or in the case of her Sunday Times photo shoot, a top. Hey, at least she remembered to get herself half-dressed. Take what you can get, right? Baby steps.

Here's Lindsay, braless, in the aptly titled "Car Crash Couture" piece ...

A glimpse inside the life of Lindsay Lohan. It's like a little shop of horrors.

We have to say, for a walking train wreck who just got dumped by her label and is taking on fashion gigs for free, she actually looks pretty decent here.

Well, relatively speaking. And photo editing software can work wonders. But still, at the end of the day, the result is pretty positive with the bar set so low.

If you're looking for Lindsay Lohan nude, you're going to have to look elsewhere. Like club Avenue in NYC 2-3 nights a week. Just give it time. Patience.

Here are some more shots from the Sunday Times ...

Isn't "getting dressed with Lindsay Lohan" a contradiction in terms?

Lindsay Lohan may be a walking obituary, and a slow-moving train wreck that is hemorrhaging jobs almost as fast as pounds. But she says she's just a target.

Responding to the fashion critics who panned her debut collection for the French designer, Emanuel Ungaro, she says “I knew people were going to target me.”

“I am a target. I don’t know why, but I am, and I accept that. I just don’t pay attention to it," the singer designer actress party girl tells the Sunday Times.

She takes the same approach to being dropped by her record label.

“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.”

Except it's not. It's much worse than that.

Like a five-car accident stopping traffic on the side of I-5, one simply can't look away from the awfulness that is Lindsay Lohan, a wreck unraveling before our very eyes.

Combined with her hard-partying lifestyle, it's starting to take a tol, too. Audience members noted tears in her eyes as she walked the Paris runway October 4.

“It was such a surreal experience and I think I was emotional probably for the entire week, but when we walked out, it was a good feeling,” Lindsay Lohan said.

So what’s next for the 23-year-old wreck?

“I feel I am on the cusp of something new. I just need to be here.” However, she admits in the end, “I don’t know. I don’t know. I don’t like to think ahead.”

To a degree, you have to live for the moment. We respect that. We just hope that the poor thing has more than a few more tomorrows to look forward to.

Someone please save her!

Lindsay Lohan's life is going from bad to worse.

According to Fox News and the New York Post, the former singer Lohan been dropped by Casablanca Records, for which she used to create terrible music.

That's not even the only bad career news surrounding LL today. It was also revealed that her high-profile (and panned) fashion gig at Ungaro is a freebie.

Yes, Lindsay even paid for her own hotel and flight to Paris for her recent appearance for Ungaro's Paris Fashion Week show, and did a pretty bad job too.

She did come away with a ton of free Ungaro clothes, which provided her plenty of nice things to wear to future DUI hearings at least. Silver lining, right?

Apparently to afford regular clothes, or a mirror, Lindsay Lohan channels her inner homeless person out on the town. [Photos: PacificCoastNewsOnline.com]

What's an alleged actress to do when her main job is a glorified internship?

Are you thinking what we're thinking? Two things spring to mind:

1. Reality show.
2. Sex tape.

It could be happening. Well, at least option #1. According to reports, Lindsay Lohan was being followed by a camera crew in Paris at the Vogue party and later when she hit up a ton of clubs around the famed European City.

Then again, it could've just been for an episode of True Hollywood Fail.
