Welcome Back, Lohan

Watch out, world. Today at 9 a.m. ET, one Michael Lohan reentered society.
Was it only two years ago that Lohan began his stretch at New York's Collins Correctional Center after convictions for, among other things, drunk driving and attempted assault on his brother-in-law with -- and this is truly inspired -- a shoe? Those two years proved to be crucial in the life of Michael's daughter, Lindsay, as she's attempted to make the transition from Disney darling to serious actress with more than a few detours into tabloid territory along the way.
As it turns out, though, Lindsay isn't the only Lohan with a flair for the dramatic. Or, overdramatic. It seems we can expect great things from Michael -- if you consider a reality TV show based on his post-prison exploits and a self-help book "great things." It seems Lohan senior will pick up right where he left off before entering the slammer by continuing to film a pilot tentatively titled "Hollywood Dad."
Show producer Brett Hudson says Michael, a "changed man" who was ordained as a minister while behind bars, is a creative guy with a lot to offer -- including a pitch for another reality show in which he and Lindsay would be put on a desert island along with Paris Hilton, Jessica Simpson and their dads. Oh, and this:
"And he's got other ideas, like going out on Sunset Boulevard and giving a prostitute a hundred dollar bill -- not for sex, but for her time so he can talk to her and try to save her. He wants to make things right with the world. And especially with his family."
Oh. Kay.
Daughter Lindsay is reportedly open to a reconciliation with pops, despite the negative publicity surrounding some freaky public missives and reports that he bragged to other inmates about being intimate with Lindsay's "Herbie: Fully Loaded" stunt double.
We'll be watching.

Now, I really feel sorry for Lindsay.

With Lindsay's dad saving prostitutes and Tom Cruise as Jesus of Scientology this world will be a better place to live in. Here I was thinking this year for celebritology wouldn't be as good as last year. Silly Petal, silly silly girl.
I'm torn as to which one makes me want to upchuck more. Lindsay's dad getting it on with his daughter's stunt double or Joe Simpson and the references to his daughter's breasts.

Petal said what I was thinking, don't know which is creepier, Papa Joe or Papa Lohan. :-p

I'm pretty sure Lindsay's dad wears pleats.
PS. Lizzie, I was dumped for being open about my pleats-hating. Whoever said clothes are something you can change about a man was dead, dead wrong. Oh well, all for the better, as I was also failing to overlook the chain necklace-outside-the-shirt, too.

Any man who slept with his daughter's stunt double and bragged about it should not be allowed to become any kind of ordained minister.
not bluto, I hear you on the pleats thing. Almost as bad as those tassle loafers.

Not Bluto: You were too good for that relationship. You can only tolerate a bad dresser for so long.

That is creepy about the stunt double
Posted by: ack | March 13, 2007 1:54 PM
This guy is a great character. He's got all the tragic flaws there in one creepy package!
Was he put in jail for hitting the uncle with the shoe, or something else?
I just hope he's had a vasectomy.

Okay - this almost certainly has to do with living in South America, but can someone PLEASE explain that "editorial cartoon"? I assume that he's the one that did it, but what is it ABOUT? Or - yeah, maybe this is it - maybe it's supposed to be an abstract slightly random paradox in the New Yorker style??

I never said I wasn't a petty, petty woman. I can't stand cargos either. And if you insist on wearing them on the weekend, ditch the belt and untuck the shirt, k?
Posted by: not bluto | March 13, 2007 2:57 PM
Not Bluto, hang in there. I was able to successfully wean Mr. Liz off of pleated pants. The trick is making him think it's his idea.
Posted by: Liz | March 13, 2007 3:55 PM
not bluto,
I'm with you on the pleats but the cargos. Come on, that's a lot of storage in one pant. Oh, don't get me started on the tucked in shirts.urrggghhh. I saw a guy this past weekend had a polo shirt tucked into his jeans. urrrrrgggh.
Barb,
I hope it's more than a shoe. Can you imagine him in the joint?
LiLo's dad: What are you in for?
cellmate: Armed robbery, What are you in for?
LiLo's dad: battery with my Kenneth Coles
cellmate: Kenneth Coles, really? You're a bada#$ dude.

I really think I'm going to have to start a fashion woes of DC blog- I'm not even close to a fascsist (haha), don't get me wrong, I'm just really mean.
And BTW, Paula Abdul is out of control. But at least she's not in one of those 90s poet shirts this week. Jeez.

OK that bit about the stunt double is probably the most disturbing thing I've ever heard (in the last 5 min).
