Lindsay Lohan looked like a flashback to her younger self in her cheerleading costume and vinyl skirt on the set of Ugly Betty in NYC yesterday. She seemed happy to be back to work, but her personal life is still a little rocky. Both Lindsay and Samantha took to their MySpace blogs to respond to her father's comments about Samantha's influence. Lindsay lashed out about her father's addiction to fame saying,
DRUG FREE
Current mood: betrayed
Category: LifeIf you have something to say to me, say it to my face- that's what i have believed my whole life- don't be a coward and say it to others first, let alone all the media in the world- i think we know where the rest of this blog is going...
If you guessed it had to do with my father- then you guessed right! It really hurts, because i have tried- after all that my mother and siblings have gone through, i really tried to make things work- For the hope of having a father again-wanting things to change- even though people have said, some people will forever remain the same.
Having said that- the people were right, and he is yet to change- but this time, without his daughter by his side- He has become a public embaressment and a bully- To my family, my co-workers, my friends, and a girl that means the world to me (its obvious who that is).
To read the rest of what Lindsay has to say, as well as Samantha's response, just read more.
He has no idea what is going on in my life because i have chosen not to involve him in it- His recent attack on my life and my loved ones is simply for an ADDICTION THAT HE HAS- FAME. Why he feels the need to comment on anything in my life that i may want to keep private, is beyond comprehension- If he really cared about me and my life, then he would learn to respect my wishes by staying out of it.
Samantha has not and would never sell me out. Nor has my mother, who is wonderful.
This further proves that any information that my father has about me or the people in my life is internet based- and about as accurate as a page six item.
I'm not going to engage any further, though i probably could go on...
I have said enough, i have a therapist, and it is not the the camera man at x17.
Meanwhile, Samantha also took to her blog to respond to Michael — even going so far as to say he's just sad LL likes her more than him — and deny any rumor of a tell-all. Sounds like Michael has gotten himself back to square one in terms of repairing things with Lindsay, and now that everyone's said their piece, maybe they can all move on.

For once, I actually agree with Lindsay. If her father has any issues with Samantha, he should speak with Lindsay privately. Otherwise, he is just confirming his daughter's (and everyone else's) belief that he has an addiction to fame and trashing his family.
1what a shame..
2I agree with Lindsay as well. It is sad that a father would do something like that.
3LL's parents are both sad. At least her mom is making things up. Poor girl.
4I meant ISN"T making things up. oops
5well - you knew that LL was going to fight back. it's really sad when parents try to get the spotlight that their kids have. at least lindsay isn't shy to say that she's not doing what he is implying and that SR isn't doing what he's implying. it's a shame that he is sinking to those levels, but oh well. what can you do right?
i think that he should take a lesson from the spears clan. daddy spears stepped in to HELP his daughter instead of hurt her, and see how things are turning out there. if their relationship wasn't the best before - it's GREAT now - and that's how parents should be with their kids.
6Well said...
7i think that what she said was well put. and yes its sad when any fam makes the spears clan look good- but at least the spears clan rally's around their children and tries to help them.
8poor LL
9I agree with Lindsay....why he has to talk to the media and not in private????? he is a shame....
10drama drama drama....
11What kind of father would do something like that? Poor Lindsay...
12It was about time.Wellsaid LIndsay.Yeah.You see?She works and looks great,happy and healthie.She looks setled and focused.He managed to get her upset,yet this time she has someone around her who is there.Go girls.
13all I hear is the teacher from Charlie Brown when these people make statements - wa wa wa wa wa...bottom line: her dad's nuts, married an insane chick, had kids that obviously need therapy (at least 2 of the kids do)...it's sad but it's no different from the millions of dysfunctional families...hopefully, these morons will go into a room together, let it out and stop using the media b/c that's laaame
14so dman true jaan_black.
15*damn
16Thank god most dysfunctional families (mine included) don't feel the need to play it out in the media. Horrible.
17Good for her! I like the bit about her therapist not being a camera man!
18why should every father in Hollywood do this to his family? why should not they just keep it private? , as much as i wish to work in that career as much as i see ho do they live famously by the money and the fun they have as much as i am afraid of the wrong thing i see on their way , what a confusing Hollywood life
19I think these two responses were extremely warranted and very well worded. I hate to admit that I'm starting to warm up to these two.
20This airing your laundry in front of everyone is just so pathetic.
21I do feel sorry a little bit for LL
well said by both girls, but i did have a little giggle at lindsay saying her mother would never sell her out
22Her father is pathetic Brian. Such a L O S E R!
23i kinda feel sorry for her
24This girl had no chance with the parents that she has. They are both just terrible and Dina Lohan is every bit the fame wh*re that Michael Lohan is. They are both using their daughter. Shame.
25What an unfortunate *sshole her dad is....pathetic! It's really too bad. I agree with Lindsey completely! Her response is perfect and if I were her I'd leave it alone from her. He'd only get off on her saying anything more.
26*here
27Lindsay's father is the biggest tool I've ever seen. I feel very sorry for her that she was stuck with this no-good bum as a father.
28i hate michal lohan. poor lindsay and aww she said she means the world 2 her. aww. i love lindsay
29poor kid! there's nothing worse than having a bad parent, not to mention one that's also a public f*ck up like that. her blog was sensible and coherent sounding, so it seems like she's dealing with it well, even though her feelings are hurt. i wish her all the best!
30I have to agree with Lindsay on this one. I thought her dad made some big promise to her just a couple of months ago that he would NEVER talk to the press again about her. What a loser!!
31All of these people, LL, SaMANtha Lindsays dad are addicted to fame, if they werent? they wouldnt be on friggin myspace blogging about it, or walking around LA all day begging the Paps to be there.
32I agree with Lindsay, but in a sense she is also "talking to the media" about her relationships through her myspace blog. She KNOWS that people are going to read it if she posts something controversial, and it is just as bad (IMO) as Michael's comments to the press. They both need to chill out, spend some time away from each other, and keep their mouths shut.
33wow, way to go Linds, well said.
34California, yeah, you're right, but it's the old "She's young and doesn't know better yet" (Even though she should). Michael is a full grown freakin' man. He REALLY ought to know better at his age!
35Go Lindsay! I'd feel the exact same way if Michael was my father!
36her father is really a pathetic loser, trash talking people when he really doesn't know anything and has no part in lindsay's life
i feel like samantha is just defending herself and putting the word out there that she has no plans to ever sell lindsay out, and i actually have a lot of respect for what she wrote
i think all that michael said compelled lindsay to write a blog to state the truth and how disappointed she is with her dad
so i don't feel like either of them are trying to gain attention as much as they are trying to clear the air
37what a big hoha kerfuffle load of noise. hollywood really does think its important, i fight between some two bit starlet and an errant father. stop the press!!!!!geez get back to work michael and lindsay
38i-a
39need edit button. im typo queen
The last I checked, Samantha Ronson has never held an interview with paparazzi to discuss Lindsay's life. Michael Lohan on the other hand has them on speed dial. It's no coincidence that the the media went to Michael for comment after Lindsay "supposedly got into an accident in New York"; or after Lindsay "supposedly changed religions"; or after police chief Bratton ran his mouth; or after rumors started coming out about her relationship with Samantha...... Michael Lohan ALWAYS has a comment to the media about Lindsay's personal life. Samantha has never divulged any details.
There's a difference between fame by association, and fame by riding someone's coat-tail. Do you think Michael Lohan would even have the opportunity to partake in some cheesy a$$ fight for charity with Kevin Federline if he wasn't Lindsay's dad? Or write a column for OK! magazine? Hell -to the- no. And btw, his daughter is grown, Samantha isn't "dragging" her anywhere and she's definitely not forcing drinks down her throat. But sh*t, if I had parents like her, I'd want a drink now and then too.....
Saying that Dina Lohan needs to start being a mother MIGHT mean something if it wasn't coming from the biggest dead-beat dad on the planet. He has no write to accuse others of taking advantage of his daughter-- not until he stops being a spotlight father, and start being her dad. Unfortunately for him, he won't have the opportunity. He has NOT been in his daughter's life for some time now and has not been privy to the details of her life..... he has NO place to speak on what is right and what is wrong for her.
Her co-workers on "Labor Pains" and "Ugly Betty" ALL raved about her professionalism and kindness. Some co-workers pegged Samantha as the reason for her calm behavior of late. Many of her friends acknowledged Samantha as the one constant in her life and of the the few people who see Lindsay as anything more than a commodity. The same cannot be said for her father.
40Lmao, Hell-to-the-No, That is going to be my new saying, S!
Her daddy is definitely riding on the coat-tail. (He irritates me because he acts like my dad, only we're not celebrities.) Thanks for Sam's myspace profile yesterday. I added them, yay.
41As someone who has an alcoholic-sperm-donor-father who rides my (much smaller) coattails and would hurt me in a second if it meant it would benefit him, I get it and empathize. I just wished I understood while some people are like that. Unfortunately I too had to learn the hard way (he took out a cell phone in my name and didn't pay the bill) that some people never change.
42With those kind of Dads you can only forgive, let go, and keep your emotional space (no matter how much you want a father in your life).
no problem g1amourpuss [
Just an update..... Lindsay's grandfather just passed away (Michael's dad)..... of course, he went straight to Ok! Magazine to report it.
The wonder-man himself is also set to bring his ridiculousness to TV. I don't think I'm going to comment on this much longer.... I'm just getting sick to my stomach at the lengths he'll go to make sure he doesn't look bad in the spotlight. Putting his own image above his family. It is absolutely disgusting. Talking about Samantha "selling Lindsay out with a book"..... but he's ready to release hundreds of text messages and voicemails.

You are a sorry disgrace for a human being Michael. Let's not forget that Lindsay is only 22 years old. And she has siblings that are much younger.
Steph
43She finally seems happy and free he should really take a look at himself...apparently he is a nasty selfish man!
44too cute! I would love to see more of Lindsay like this.
