Carvel Denies Dina Lohan A Cake!

Where to begin! First off: Carvel gives VIP ice cream lovers special Black Cards. That is pretty amazing in and of itself, but this story is about Black Card holder Dina Lohan, mother of Lindsay.

While shopping for an ice cream cake for her son Cody's birthday in East Meadow, NY yesterday, mama Lohan handed over her Black Card, only to have it confiscated by an employee. She explained the embarrassing incident to RadarOnline:

“The shop assistant said, ‘Do you have I.D.?' Next minute he he grabbed my arm and took my card and held it hostage and wouldn’t give me the cake! This guy was crazy! Four cop cars showed up, there’s a police helicopter over head and this guy makes it seem to the cops that I’m trying to use a stolen credit card—and for what? Over a free ice cream?!””

Apparently all the Lohans have Black Cards, and Dina had accidentally grabbed her daughter Ali's. While the employee stood strong for a while, insisting it was not her card, he eventually caved—but not without a fight. He told Lohan, "You can have the card, but you can’t have the cake!" Carvel has apologized for the incident, but notes that it was Lohan who called the cops in.

The starlet's mom says, "It just shows how we get treated so much worse than regular people.” Hmm, maybe if you didn't go around flashing your fancy Black Carvel Card and referring to the rest of us as "regular people" in the press, this wouldn't be happening?

Update: The Carvel Ice Cream Black Card is totally real—here's Carvel's statement about the Lohans' abuse of the coveted card.

Dina, like her daughter, is a fame whore, and perhaps several other types of whore.

Cookie Puss looks suspisciously like Fudgy the Whale turned on his side and doctored up a bit.

Now that you mention it, I've never seen the two of them in the same place. Like Adam Duritz of Counting Crows and Zach De La Rocha of Rage. Things that make ya go hmmmmmmm.....

I read the story headline (and associated picture) to mean:

"Carvel denies making a cake that represents Dina Lohan"

...i thought it was going to be a joke in reference to Lohan suing e-trade for the baby milkaholic "connection".

"[I]t was Lohan who called the cops..."

I wonder what she said to get four patrol cars and a fucking helicopter to show up.

And all this at Carvel. Yikes.

Wow. She felt entitled to free ice cream and called the police when she didn't get it? I can't believe the police didn't arrest her for wasting their time with her self indulgent nonsense.

"I can't believe the police didn't arrest her"

If they'd done that, they wouldn't have gotten the autographs and the pictures with her.

That was me. Sorry.

It's sad to think of celebrities carrying around cards like this, they must have a million of them if they carry one. Though I guess the real point is that they get to hand them out to their non-famous relations and friends.

carvel gives out special black cards to celebrities entitling them to free ice cream.

thats even mor disgusting than celebrities thinking their media whoredom makes them deserving of free ice cream.

free ice cream, carvel is expensive, if anything the rich should have to pay for ice cream.

but as usual the world is upside down, you become rich and famous and for some strange reason you no longer have to pay for things that most of us cannot afford on a regular basis. sad.

(FYI i can afford carvel, but the quality is not always consistant so its a treat but not always happy with what im handed.)

the world is a sad place, when some celebrity makes news for not getting a carvel cake...i feel more sorry for baby hitler.

LOL what? Why is Dina in possession of Ali's card? She's 16 years old. She can't keep her own cards on her person?

And yeah, monumentally stupid is right.
