Michael Lohan -- who spent three years in prison after being convicted of insider trading -- has a few words of advice for his daughter, Lindsay, who will report to jail on July 20 for 90 days.
"It's not going to be a good experience for her. Right now, she should be working on rectifying the situation and getting better," Michael, who has long maintained that Lindsay's troubles stem from a prescription drug addiction (which she has denied), told UsMagazine.com in NYC Thursday night.

"It's just a horrible experience. Twenty-three hours a day, she'll be locked up," added Michael, who spoke to Us after a romantic dinner with fiancee Kate Major at STK restaurant. "I'm going to get her out of that cell as much as I can. And Kate will be there, and we'll work to get her out of that cell as much as possible."
Michael says Lindsay, 24, is currently refusing to speak to him "because she knows I still want to throw her in [rehab]. I've been trying to tell her how much I love her, that I'm behind her, that when she's ready, I'm ready to help her."

Continues Michael, "If she would just realize that what she's taking is toxic.... Dina has denied that Lindsay is on prescription meds. Lindsay has denied that she is on prescription meds. Her friends have. Everyone has! And look at her! They're lying."
According to a TMZ.com report, Lindsay will be allowed to continue taking several prescription drugs while wearing her SCRAM bracelet and in jail.
Michael has a few words for his ex wife, too: "Dina should be concentrating on helping Lindsay get off of the prescription drugs instead of stealing Fudgy the Whales from Carvel!"

He says it was important for him to be in the court room when the judge sentenced his daughter.
"I had a feeling that Lindsay might go to jail and I wanted to be there for her, but I wanted to be there, more importantly, to submit the letter to the judge in hopes that she would just give her rehab, which she did consider and I appreciate that," he tells Us. "But at the same time, Lindsay is not a criminal. She is a woman with a disease. She really is. She needs help. She needs medical attention."
Tell Us What You Think
50Our system is barbaric. Putting people in jail who are sick is disgusting. America has the largest incarcerated population in the world. Yet the real criminals running goldman sachs, etc., steal billions on our backs.
Lindsay Lohan is hot! and sending her to jail just makes her even hotter, completes that bad girl image :P
On a more important note, I love this Sharpie font...lol
Why doesn't he shut up and leave Lindsay alone? I think he's there more for the publicity than helping his daughter. Lindsay wants nothing to do with this creep and I don't blame her. He was right about her taking meds but the fact that he runs to the media all the time to spill every detail shows that he loves the attention and will do anything to stay in the spotlight! I feel sorry for Lindsay because I would be a druggie too if I had a loser for a father.
NEVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVER DROP THE SOAP!!!
How on earth can this man give anyone advice? this is the most disfunctional family i have ever heard about. The mother in denial..the father a reborn know it all. all make me sick. fame and money cant buy happiness or buy you out of troubles. But it can buy you a carvel cake. The balls to even fight for a cake they can simply afford. but refuse to see their own childs addictions. DUH!
1. Keep your eyes down. 2. Keep your nose clean. 3. Don't drop the soap!!!
Lindsay refuses to grow up as well as her Mom and possibly her Dad. She won't listen to her Dad who if true with the above statements is right. She needs to see and face reality if she is every going to get better. She has very low self-esteem is what her problem is. As well as an addictive personality.
I wonder what this jackass was thinking publicly showing up in Cannes when she was supposed to be in court. One thing all citizens should learn is that when you screw up and are on probation, you do not tell the judge F. Y. Those words did not come out of her mouth, but out of her actions. She says she scared to death of jail. So is everybody else ... which is why we are in court on the day the judge orders us to be in court. She literally asked for this.
Shouldn't Michael Lohan be busy w/ his own life, a JOB & NO TIME to be running to different News outlets. This loser is ONE REASON LINDSAY is the way she is. Not to mention her MOM, who still acts & thinks she's 25 yrs. old!!!! PATHETIC
The only time this dumb a.s.s. is going to straight is when she is dead. She thinks all is ok as long as the drugs are prescription. So did Brittney Murphy, Michael Jackson, etc....The only difference is that the others had talent and were not garbage like she is. Don't keep blaming her parents. She is the lost cause because she wants to be. They may have aided in her becoming what she is, but she continues because she wants to not because her parents want her to. Hell, they would benefit more if she were making money. I don't feel sorry for any of them. Good riddance to bad rubbish. Now if we could just get the media to focus on something else and quit giving her coverage, we would all be much happier.
LL doesn't want to talk to Michael. He can't talk to her in private. It's either this way or no way. As a parent, does he dare not TRY in whatever way is available to him? It appears there is no good way with Lindsey. Cold turkey is best at this point, but she can't cure what she won't own.
Messed up father. Messed up daughter. Messed up mother. What a zoo. He is right she is an alcoholic addict. But he is also a self serving pile of garbage.
Michael is a user and abuser. He has a typical arrogant attitude while he was so much at fault and won't own any of it. He showed up at court for publicity. The Judge is giving her rehab after the jail sentence is over. Plus when you brake parole that is a criminal act in and of itself. So yes Lindsay is a criminal and I hope jail and rehab wake her up.
This is sooooo sad. As a therapist who has worked in addiction treatment, it does not appear she has hit her bottom yet. Jail time, if she even serves it, may not do it, and ordered rehab (although a nice try) will do no good unless she thinks she has a problem. The prognosis, at least from what we see in the news, does not look good.
She does not take any responsibility. I think that she will get out of the jail time. She is another Anna Nicole and her mom is her enabler. Who wrote all these BOGUS prescriptions for her anyway Dr. Conrad? They are killing her. Lock her up for 6 months or a year....no drugs, nothing. No fake dental pain, no ADHD, no sleep problems....nothing! No 4 shot espresso or Red Bull no nothing...Dry her out.
This girl obviously has some personal problems that she hasn't taken care of and sees drugs/alcohol as the momentary solution. She needs to grow up and face them. Looks like the coward ends up in jail
She won't serve any jail time, I bet my dinner on it! They'll book her put her in for about 1/2 hour and release her due to jail overcrowding. BUT, on the other hand, I did read that she is SPECIAL, and better than the rest and she will be given a PRIVATE CELL, so I guess then the jail overcrowding won't affect her. They should still throw her in with the rest of them, and make her serve ALL 90 days. That is the only way she would probably straighten up. Otherwise, her own private cell, her own bathroom, other than eating balony, what's the big deal. She needs to chill out, still think she won't be in there very long, unfortunately. Wow, she's ruined her life, she was a good child actress, she could have done such great movies, and she decided instead to be a party girl; such a waste.
He is such a loser..... The man is still using his daughter to continue getting media attention..... It's no wonder why Lindsay is such a mess..... She has serious Daddy issues and she is digging her heals in and self distructing to spite him...... If he had any genuine interest in helping her, he would do his fathering in private and not for the next media story for his pretentious efforts.... You can't try to start parenting when you child is a grown adult.... He missed that opportunity to guide her in life when she needed it most..... Her childhood..... What a pitiful excuse for a father.... And frankly, both parents need a good swift kick in the pants...... Lindsay needs to learn self respect and respect for others... She also needs to learn to take responsibility for her behavior.... Maybe jail will be the wake up call she desparately needs.....
