Michael Lohan & NeNe Leakes War Of Words

October 23, 2009 By Holly Stafford Leave a Comment

Another war of words erupted on “The Insider” last night, this time between attention seeker Michael Lohan and “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star NeNe Leakes.

Lohan has been speaking out to the media alot lately, saying that he wants to petition for his daughter’s Lindsay Lohans‘ conservatorship because he believes she is addicted to prescription drugs. Lohan appeared via satellite on the show, and Leakes barely let Lohan have a chance to defend himself for his public actions, though that still didn’t stop him from lashing back at her. She accused him of being a sell-out parent who is trying to make money on his daughter, calling him things like a “toxic parrot” and “manipulator,” but he denied the claims.

Per NY Daily News:

“I believe you’re just trying to make money off of Lindsay,” Leakes said. “You’re always in the press.”

Lohan responded, saying he hasn’t made any money off of his daughter and that he’s the only one trying to help her.

“I’m not going see my daughter die!” he said. “You have Michael Jackson, you had Heath Ledger, Adam Goldstein. You can go back to John Belushi, Anna Nicole Smith, and even Elvis Presley. It was prescription drugs that killed these people. I’m not going watch my daughter die.”

Undeterred, Leakes continued, threatening him physically. “Do not make me come after you,” she warned. “I will eat you alive.”

“Do something worthwhile and promote Nutri-System,” says Lohan. “Give your chair a break and move your fat a** outta there!”

Guess we know now where Lindsay gets her “Oh, well she’s fat” comebacks from. Leakes then takes it another step farther, telling Lohan to ‘go hang out with Jon Gosselin.’ Bah-Zing! Their war of the words ended with Lohan taking off his mic and leaving his chair, abruptly ending the interview. Come on now… we’re all adults here, aren’t we?

It’s been a rough couple of weeks for Daddy Lohan, who is reportedly about to get served with a restraining order by Lindsay. This comes after he made it public knowledge that he hoped stage an intervention for her whose alarming appearance and erratic behavior has left him sure she’s been popping pills and drinking in excess. Lindsay didn’t appreciate her father’s heart-to-heart with the tabloids and obviously Leakes didn’t either! But in the end, its Papa Lohan who looks like the bigger man, as he’s issued an apology to Ms. Leakes.

Per The Insider:

“I apologize to the producers of ["The Insider"], the viewers and even Miss Leakes for coming back at her, for her attack on me, in the inappropriate manner I did. I do however wish I had known she was on the panel because then I would have known what I was in for and I would have handled things differently. To begin with, she may have children, but none in a crisis situation. Second, for her to call me a broke a** when I am not, but she had a house in foreclosure and 2 cars repoed [sic], I would have addressed that as well. This show was about helping my daughter and owning up to my part of her life and why I have taken these measures. Not a personal attack on Lindsay or me. I am sorry for my conduct and I hope Ms. Leakes is for hers.”

Take this with a grain of salt – Knowing him, its just another way to keep his name floating about. Pick up on the cheap shots in his so-called apology? Check out the video above for your LOL’s of the day!

Lindsay Lohans’ Dad Planning Intervention

October 9, 2009 By Holly Stafford Leave a Comment

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

September 29, 2009 By Holly Stafford Leave a Comment

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.
