Lohans Vow to Keep Family Secrets

0806los.jpgFollowing their Nassau County Family Court appearance yesterday regarding visitation rights, Michael and Dina Lohan held a joint press conference to let the press know they will no longer be talking to them. In fact, The Daily News reports that Dina's lawyer said the two want to keep their lives private. Presumably they mean starting now, but everyone with basic cable is given a weekly (albeit edited) glimpse into Living Lohan on Dina's reality show, and Michael blogs about it for OK! Magazine. Still, the two would like to control the press and dim the spotlight on the family's little secrets (even if everyone can see their most famous daughter's private MySpace profile).

"They really want the press to stay out of their lives," said Eugene Russo, Dina's lawyer. "They're doing what's in the best interest of the children. They would appreciate if they are allowed to participate in the childrens' lives without the press."

As the two left - separately - Michael told reporters they will stay mum.

"We've decided to keep everything out of the press," he said. "She will keep her sources from saying things. I'm not going to have anyone say anything."

On that note, after the closed door court appearance, someone said the "lengthy off-the-record conversation about claims that Dina is blocking Michael from seeing his four kids" was extremely encouraging, however, Michael Lohan is accusing Dina of not including the two younger kids in the court-ordered visits, and has shown up drunk a few times. The two will be back to court on July 14th.

Arts and Events?

I wouldn't care if I never heard anything about these people again.

Starting....now! Okay, now! Wait - one more press release to let you know we're really serious, aaaand...now!

Lohan Family Secrets = total contradiction.

So the only good and entertaining parts of their lives is off limits? Basically, they want people to watch their boring mundane lives so they can make money off people watching their boring mundane lives. That's not going to cut it in reality television. We need Britney spears cutting her hair off and going crazy. we need anna nicole smith ODing and talking like a cracked out whore. We need Sumthin taking a huge shit on the floor of Flavor of love 2. If people aren't dying, pooping, slowly decaying and debasing themselves for the masses then it's pretty worthless television.

Will they be drivings VW's in the series? I think Dina needs to get a stiff one before she gets older looking than her daughter.

The Lohans reminds me of when I was a small child and would go find my mother and say, "Don't tickle me, Mommy! Ok? Ok, don't tickle me, Mommy!" until she, you know, tickled me. Like I so obviously wanted.

When vowing to the press that your private lives are off limits--except for that reality show and tabloid blog--it's always best to set the right precedent by making the announcement via a press conference.

in other words ... they'll have tell-all books coming out soon.

Lindsay is like 40 years old. Why are they still going to family court? Never mind, I don't care.

Stop marketing these Subprime Lohans.

Is that an old picture? Lindsay hasn't looked that cute in a while.

How about the two feuding Lohans settle things with a classic Burr-Hamilton style debate in Weehawken? It would probably generate some good ratings, too.

Dina takes the cake when it comes to being a hypocrite. Want the press out of your lives and then have a fake "reality" show on the E! channel!? Dina, you are completely contradiction yourself.

Go continue being a slut with your children and only care about the green stuff.
