Lindsay Lohan fires mother Dina as her manager

[MaryJane]

It’s official: Lindsay Lohan is cleaning house, and she’s doing so by removing the negative influences from her life — starting with her #1 enabler: her mother, Dina!

In her first interview after leaving rehab, Lindsay spoke exclusively to OK! to say she was cutting out former party pals like Samantha Ronson and Britney Spears. But sources reveal to OK! that the 21-year-old actress didn't stop there.

“Lindsay fired Dina as her manager,” an insider revealed. “She is livid about all this press her mom is doing on this NYC apartment that she’ll never even live in; Dina even gave Access Hollywood a tour of the apartment two nights ago.”

“I am doing my best to surround myself with good people who have their hearts and minds in the right places,” Lindsay told OK! “That’s what I plan on doing.” Dina, apparently, is not one of those people. The elder Lohan has long been under fire for taking on the role of party pal as opposed to mother, and picking loser roles for Lindsay as her manager in films like Just My Luck and Herbie: Fully Loaded. That’s right – blink and you missed them. Thus are the results of bad motherly and manger advice.

What will become of Dina without Lindsay to fall back on as her bread and butter? Dina recently made Lindsay a sacrificial lamb when she signed a six-episode reality show deal for E! by promising that Lindsay would star alongside her. “No one wants Dina without Lindsay” the source told OK! flatly. “They tolerate her simply to get to Lindsay – the REAL star in the family. When Lindsay found out about the show, she went mad at her mother. She is upset her mom would use her name and sign off on paperwork involving her career without even consulting her. The two haven’t even spoken in weeks except to fight.”

As Lindsay weeds out the negativity in her life, one can only hope she’s truly on the path to recovery. As she told OK!, “Everything is different when you have a clear mind and focus on the right things.”

Are you listening, Dina?

Maybe she is really serious and will pull through this. I hope she will, she's so young and it's sad to see drugs take another life.
I feel for her, I have been right there.

Now that's one of the smart moves she should have made a long time ago. Please let her hire someone decent who isn't out to take Lindsay for another ride, and who has the stomach to handle her addictive personality.

May this be true. I'm hardly a fan of Lindsay, but her mother is obviously one feral toxic force than should be resigned to a trailer far far away.

[pacific breeze]

^^She is the ultimate grasping stage mother.

[Laxmobster]

At least she recognized her mother wasn't a good influence. Although I have to wonder about how she feels about her father's interviews every other week...

[kchal]

I'm worried that she is going to hire the dad now - he is just as bad IMO

[VenusInFauxFurs]

Her dad needs a good kicking too.

[curlysem]

good for her.

Well TMZ is saying the story isn't true:

Dina and Lindsay Are Just Fine, Thank You Very Much

With Lindsay on the road to recovery at an outpatient facility, reports are surfacing that she's cited mother Dina as a source of her troubles. TMZ has learned this is completely untrue!

According to one mag, Lindsay supposedly fired her mother Dina as her manager. An "insider" claims that mother and daughter have not spoken in weeks.

We contacted Lindsay's rep who tells us, "Dina remains Lindsay's manager and, more importantly, her mother."

Is that a gospel choir I hear?

[Lily]

Even if she has fired her mother, she's still going to fail.

[pacific breeze]

^^I am not that certain. I prefer to give her a chance. It costs me nothing and it puts good energy out there for her.

“I am doing my best to surround myself with good people who have their hearts and minds in the right places,”

. . . plus her worthless father.

Seriously, this girl's parents seem to be like 99% of her problem.
