Dina Lohan's pain -- she fears Lindsay Lohan might die like Princess Diana

[SuperHeroTights]

March 21, 2007 -- Lindsay Lohan's mother compares her booze-addled daughter to Princess Diana, warning that if the paparazzi keep chasing the young actress, she'll end up dead, too.
"Look at me," Dina Lohan said in the latest Harper's Bazaar, in which she talked about her daughter's run-ins with celebrity photographers. "Diana will happen again."
The mom also worked hard to get across another message - that she's a superstar herself - as she gushed about the glamorous life she leads thanks to her troubled daughter's celebrity.
"I'm living the American dream, and you can go . . ." she exclaimed after Harper's asked her what she would say to critics of her parenting techniques.
In the interview in the April issue, the 44-year-old Lohan described how she's more like a sister to her fire-haired daughter - going out to clubs with her and even wearing her old Prada jacket and Jimmy Choo boots.
"If you can button it and clip it when you're in your 40s, you're going out," she said as she put her hand in the air to solicit a high-five from the Harper's reporter.
Lohan vamped for the magazine in a series of sexy shots in which she showed off her freckly figure and dancer's legs in some decidedly unmatronly dresses, sipping champagne in a limousine.
From a glance, she almost could be mistaken for Lindsay.
The elder Lohan said she sometimes introduces herself as her daughter's personal assistant. She even once lied about her identity to George Clooney.
"I don't want them to know I'm her mom," she said. "It's a whole 'nother demographic. People just go dark."
She also had plenty to say about the other panty-less members of the "Bimbo Summit" - Paris Hilton and Britney Spears - who have spent many nights table-dancing and tossing back libations with her daughter.
"Some of these kids are just lost," she said.
But not so lost that we shouldn't worship them, apparently.
"They're the American dream," she also said. "They're the Trumps of the little world, these kids."
She also expressed her respect for Paris Hilton's intellect.
"Paris is a really smart girl, and she's come really far," she told Harper's. "Paris' mom was wonderfully embracing to me. You know, you can't blame parents for kids."
Lohan - a Long Island resident who had Lindsey with jail-bird daddy Michael at age 23 - also asked the public to cut song siren Britney "some slack."
"I love this kid, and I feel so badly for her because I'm a mom," she said. "The girl is a beautiful kid. She married some guy just to get out of the limelight. Cut her some slack.
"Her mother, I'm surprised she didn't come forward. I'm not gonna sit back and go, 'You're gonna trash my kid?' "

She also whined about the way the press has been treating her and her daughter, who has been in rehab and AA meetings.
"We're just so misunderstood," she said, adding that her cocktail-tippling daughter is not an alcoholic. "Noooo! She is just a 20-year-old who had to reel it in," she said, apparently forgetting that the legal drinking age is 21. "And she's from an addictive personality genetically. And in that world, they give you things like candy. Hurt your ankle? 'Let's give her something.' "

Dina Lohan: 'I'm Not a Party Mom'
WEDNESDAY MARCH 21, 2007 04:50 PM EDT



Sure, Dina Lohan has gone to Bungalow 8 with her daughter – "Lindsay would drag me, literally drag my loser butt there," she says – but she insists she's no party mom.

"Oh, the party mom, the party mom, the party mom!" Lohan, 44, says in the April issue of Harper's Bazaar. "Whoever said that, my ex-husband or whatever, I'm not the party mom! You throw enough pasta on the walls, some pasta's going to stick, okay?"

Why the media fixation on her club-hopping image, then? Lohan suggests that it's because she looks like one of Lindsay's heroines, Ann-Margret. "If I looked like a tire, they wouldn't even give a damn," she says. "And I'm not that hot, trust me."
Lohan also lashes out at the suggestion that Lindsay, who checked into rehab in January, is an alcoholic. "She is just a 20-year-old who had to reel it in," she says. "And she's from an addictive personality genetically."

That doesn't mean, though, that her family deserves its image: "We are not a bunch of screwups," she says. The fact that she sometimes sips Montrachet in front of her daughter? "It's not a weird, freaky thing. No, we're normal. It's normalcy."

Dina also reveals that she led a couple of interventions for Lindsay in the past and tried to convince her daughter to go to rehab.

"But that's not for the public to know," she says. "Like if your child's in high school and they have a bulimia problem or they're ADD, you're not going to stand on the stage and go, Oh, my kid's screwed up. I'm sorry, that's disgusting."

On Wednesday morning, the New York Post and the cohosts of The View expressed skepticism about Lohan's comments, which a rep for the manager mom rep says has Lohan upset.

"The woman is honest," the rep tells PEOPLE. "Just because the New York Post and Rosie O'Donnell take everything out of context? There's nothing bad there. Dina's doing the best she can with what she has. [She] has three other kids. No one ever talks about that."

The spokesperson had no comment on behalf of Lindsay Lohan.

Take care of your daughter, act instead of whining to the press! It seems that not only is she from an addictive personality in genetically, but also from some attention-whoring family genetically.

[Soth]

Umm.........

No more drugs for Dina

[Lani]

god what a money grabbing loud mouth bitch. if she spent more time looking after her daughter and lss time riding lindseys coat tails maybe lohan would have turned out a lot better.

[MissKat]

She needs to start acting like Lindsay's mother and stop trying to be her best friend.

[ediebrooks]

Agreed. This woman is in painful denial about her age. Nothing wrong with being young at heart, but her daughter needs a mother, not a partner in crime. No publication should interview this shallow woman or give her the time of day.

[DitaPage*]

I feel for Lindsay. I have a mother like this and it sucks. Most people think its cool to have a mother who dresses and acts like you, but it really isn't.

[jeri]

No wonder Lindsay is so fucked up. I realize at some point you have to take responsibility for your own actions but the young woman has terrible role models at home.

[Merlot-N-Bali]

"I'm living the American dream, and you can go . . ." she exclaimed after Harper's asked her what she would say to critics of her parenting techniques.

Niiiiiice.

[buttmunch]

She's a rotten mother but not because she 'sips Montrachet' in front of her kids. I have wine or whatever in front of my kids and I don't think it makes me a bad mum. Now, if I snorted coke with them, that would be another story entirely.

[crackho]

THIS is exactly why I actually feel some sympathy - SOME- for LL.

[pinkberry]

Doesn't she have two kids under the age of 18 to worry about more. I feel sorry for them. Their mother is too busy shopping, partying and taking care of Lindsay's career(of what is left of it).

[nycgirl]

she's ridiculous........what can you say about this? I mean its past ridiculous, its sort of disgusting that she feels SHE is the one 'living the american dream'- she lives vicariously through her daughter and treats her kids like cash cows...they're a source of income to her

[Novice]

Trying to give her some class? & shift the blame early on for her young death?[/COLOR]
"Look at me," Please look at me, go on look at me!!!!! Dina Lohan said in the latest Harper's Bazaar, in which she talked about her daughter's run-ins with celebrity photographers. "Diana will happen again."
The mom also worked hard to get across another message - that she's a superstar herself Did I already say? LOOK at ME!!! - as she gushed about the glamorous life she leads thanks to her troubled daughter's celebrity.
"I'm living the American dream, and you can go . . ." she exclaimed after Harper's asked her what she would say to critics of her parenting techniques.
In the interview in the April issue, the 44-year-old Lohan described how she's more like a sister to her fire-haired daughter - going out to clubs with her feeding her alcohol & drugs to get her in the tabloids & hiding her underwear and even wearing her old Prada jacket and Jimmy Choo boots.
"If you can button it and clip it when you're in your 40s, you're going out to score more drugs because I'm obviously on hulicinogens," she said as she put her hand in the air to solicit a high-five from the Harper's reporter.
Lohan vamped for the magazine in a series of sexy shots in which she showed off her freckly figure and dancer's legs in some decidedly unmatronly dresses because she can't tell mutton from lamb but the photographer had to take anti-emetics to stop himself puking, sipping champagne in a limousine.
From a glance, she almost could be mistaken for Lindsay because she's always snorting coke too.
The elder Lohan said she sometimes introduces herself as her daughter's personal assistant. She even once lied about her identity to George Clooney to try to get laid.
"I don't want them to know I'm her mom," she said. "It's a whole 'nother demographic. People just go dark because I have this reputation for exploting my kids."
She also had plenty to say about the other panty-less members of the "Bimbo Summit" - Paris Hilton and Britney Spears - who have spent many nights table-dancing and tossing back libations with her daughter.
"Some of these kids are just lost and we need to keep them that way for tabloid inches!," she said.
But not so lost that we shouldn't worship them, apparently.
"They're the American dream," she also said. "They're the Trumps of the little world, these kids."
She also expressed her respect for Paris Hilton's intellect.
"Paris is a really smart girl in comparison to me, and she's come really far," she told Harper's. "Paris' mom was wonderfully embracing to me because she didn't realise how manipulating & abusive I am to my bank accounts... sorry kids. You know, you can't blame parents for kids because that would mean I have to take some responisibility."
Lohan - a Long Island resident who had Lindsey with jail-bird daddy Michael at age 23 - also asked the public to cut song siren Britney "some slack."
"I love this kid, and I feel so badly for her because I'm a mom," she said. "The girl is a beautiful kid. She married some guy just to get out of the limelight. Cut her some slack.
"Her mother, I'm surprised she didn't come forward. I'm not gonna sit back and go, 'You're gonna trash my kid? when she's getting so much fab publicity, no matter that she's completely fucked up' "

She also whined about the way the press has been treating her and her daughter, who has been in rehab and AA meetings.
"We're just so misunderstood," she said, adding that her cocktail-tippling daughter is not an alcoholic. "Noooo! She is just a 20-year-old who had to reel it in," she said, apparently forgetting that the legal drinking age is 21. "And she's from an addictive personality genetically.
