Lindsay Lohans’ Dad Planning Intervention

michael_lohan

Back on Tuesday of this week, Lindsay Lohan’s dad Michael took to the media to air some dirty laundry about his daughter, describing Lindsay’s addictions to popping pills in excess, such as Adderall, the anti-anxiety drug Zoloft, and several other bi-polar medications. Although, I’m pretty sure that is only part of her problem; she most likely chases her drugs with a couple swigs of Vodka and a few snorts of the white powdery stuff. But now, Michael is yaking on and on about how he plans to stage an intervention in order to save his daughter from all the evil in her life, provided he can tear his ex-wife Dina away from her new shoe line to help him out with his master plan.

Per Radar:

“I had a conversation with her, her mother and everyone…over the next couple of weeks I’m going to be doing things in a pretty public way,” Michael Lohan told RadarOnline.com exclusively. “But Dina has got to get on the same page with me. It’s a serious situation. You can’t just talk about it and tell me that you want to do an intervention and then do nothing. When Lindsay doesn’t adhere or listen to what I say about serious situations, I feel I have to speak publicly to put pressure on her,” he said. “If she doesn’t take my advice and do what I say…the more pressure I put on her, the more likely she is to eventually do the right thing.””

That sure is big talk from someone who is most likely the cause of all her emotional problems anyway. Yeah, sure you need Dina, but good luck with getting that intervention off the ground now that you’ve blabbed about it to the media. Lindsay can read afterall… I think! In the meantime, Dina has made it clear she wants no part of a public intervention, saying that she is outraged is going to the press about their daughter’s alleged drug abuse problems, and instead she is asking people to have more empathy for Lindsay.

Per Contact Music:

“If you’ve ever lived a day in the life of my daughter you would probably cry. It hurts and it’s sad that one of her parents goes on television and talks about her personal life – it’s personal. She’s doing fine. Whatever Lindsay’s issues are, they are family issues. If she stumbles, she falls and she gets up,” says Dina Lohan.

Does he really think he is going to help her by splashing her personal struggle all over the press? So far the crotch shots, the scolding letter from the movie producer, the video of her wailing in front of Samantha Ronson’s house and the many recent photos of her looking like a 42-year-old lush have not amounted to enough pressure to make her stop using drugs. Lilo is basically an immature, spoiled brat, despite her age. Attempting to shame her publicly will only make her stamp her feet, throw a tantrum and go on a drunken/drug enraged bender. Good one, Dad!

It Is Now ‘Jon & Kate Plus 8′ Minus Jon

Now that Kate has Jon out of her life, its about time to get him off her tv show! It a surprising yet hilarious announcement, Jon Gosselin has been dropped from “Jon and Kate Plus 8.” In other words, the womanizer has been fired from the show that made him a household name. The show will simply be renamed “Kate Plus 8.”

Per People:

“Given Jon’s recent antics, there was no way the show could continue to portray him as a doting Dad, not while all this other crap was going on,” a source close to Jon Gosselin tells PEOPLE.

I guess TLC had enough of Jons’ bed hopping and media whoring! After an initial ratings spike last spring when rumors of marital problems came about, the ratings have since dropped steadily after the show started up again in August. Jon won’t be out completely – it is being said he will still continue to to appear on the show, just on a less than regular basis. The show will now focus on their children and Kates’ role as a single mother. Jon has been rumored to be shopping around a reality show about him being a divorced Dad, while Kate recently taped a pilot for a talk show co-starring Food Network star Paula Deen in addition to filling in for Elizabeth Hasselbeck on “The View” during her maternity leave. Jons made it clear in the media lately that he’s less than interested in continuing with the show. But could he be having a change of heart? Jon is currently trying to ‘slow down’ his life a little bit, going as far as to trying to halt the divorce proceedings for 90 days to ‘regain control over the future of our family.’

Per PopEater:

“I regret my conduct since Kate and I separated … I used poor judgment in publicly socializing with other women so soon. Even though we were heading for a divorce, it appeared that Kate had been suffering from this divorce as much as I had. That’s why I asked my attorney to put the brakes on this divorce so I could try to regain control over the future of our family. So Kate and I could join on a cooperative course that would benefit our family — not destroy it,” Jon tells In Touch Weekly. “…it will enable Kate and me to restore our relationship as cooperative parents and to open up our lines of communication. I hope that she will be as receptive and enthusiastic as I am to do what is best for our family.”

Yeah, right Jon. Since when do you care about being a father, as your actions as of late show otherwise? His divorce halting announcement just so happens to coincide with being dropped from the show. Don’t fall for it Kate. A lesser role on the show means less money for Jon. He is just trying to make nice to get his cut of the deal back. He’s worried about being separated from the money not the family.

Christina Aguilera Talks About Her Abusive Father – Video

While she’s briefly touched on the subject before, Christina Aguilera is opening up a little more about some of the horrible things her family went through because of her abusive father. She talks about how the abuse by her father Fausto, who she is now estranged from, inspired her to use music as an outlet for her pain.

Per Contact Music:

“I witnessed a lot of unpleasant things – a lot of pushing and shoving and fighting and quarreling. Growing up I did not feel safe. Feeling powerless is the worst feeling in the world. I turned to singing as an outlet. The pain at home is where my love for music came from.”

Aguilera claims that her father terrorized her, her mother Shelly and sister Rachel, during the time that her parents were together. The abuse was so bad that Shelly says she even once found Christina with a bloody chin.

The singer’s mother says, “I scooped her up and said, ‘Oh my God. What’s wrong?’ She told me, ‘Daddy wanted to take a nap and I made too much noise.’”

Aguilera’s mother was eventually able to leave her violent husband, taking her daughters to live with their grandmother. Many years later, her father made his way back into her life, but the reconciliation was short lived. He’s begged for forgiveness from her, but Aguilera says she has no desire for a relationship with him, stating that he is not a ‘necessary’ in her life.

Natasha Richardson’s Skiing Accident May Be Fatal

We here at Hollywood Dame are very sad to report that Natasha Richardson has apparently indeed been declared brain dead after a traumatic head injury caused by a ski accident Monday in Canada. The “New York Post” is reporting the family gathered at her bedside last night to say their final goodbyes. The 45 year old actress’ condition has been described by doctors as a “leakage of blood between the brain and skull,” with Richardson’s family soon facing the decision on whether or not they should continue to administer medical assistance.

Via People:

“There is no chance,” said a family friend Tuesday night. “It is a fact that her heart is beating but she is brain dead. It’s not official yet, but they basically will detach her.”

As reported by TMZ, Richardson was unconscious, her pupils were non-reactive, and her skin was pale during her ambulance ride in New York to Lenox Hill Hospital. Her husband Liam Neeson held her hand and caressed her face the entire ride as he sat in silence. Their plane landed in New Jersey where medics on board told members of the ambulance team that Richardson was brain dead. Reps for the family have declined to comment, although her family is expected to release a statement today.

Heartbreaking. Our hearts and thoughts go out to her entire family at this tragic time.
