There's no doubt left that Michael Lohan has taken over control of daughter Lindsay's life and career - not after today's OK Magazine report that Lindsay has fired her mother Dina as her manager. Bastard 1, Bitch 0.
According to a source, the last straw in the Lindsay/Dina professional relationship was Dina's shameless use of her connection to Lindsay to advance her own would-be TV career, and specificially some recent stuff Dina has been doing with an apartment she picked up in New York for Lindsay. The source said:
[Lindsay] is livid about all this press her mom is doing on this NYC apartment that [Lindsay will] never even live in; Dina even gave Access Hollywood a tour of the apartment two nights ago.
Dina also commissioned a former Trading Spaces designer to work on the apartment - and of course took the opportunity to do a photo-op. This was not quite as bad, however, as earlier this year when Lindsay was on her first rehab stint and Dina decided it would be a great idea to bring Entertainment Tonight cameras with her when she went to visit. The bottom line is that Lindsay has plenty of reason to be mad at Dina. However, I have to ask - would all this have come to a head had Michael not wormed his way into the situation, visiting Lindsay in rehab and talking to her and, I think, coaxing her away from her mother and into his camp?
Lindsay sure does a good job of acting like an independent-minded young woman who can take care of her own shit, but I wonder how capable she really is. I wonder how long she'd survive without mommy or daddy or someone there to handle all the details for her. It seems to me like, the more freedom she's had, the more she's tended to fuck things up. At least, unlike Britney, she seems willing to listen to other people. The question is whether she's listening to the right people - but when your choice is between Dina and Michael Lohan, maybe there is no right person.
