When Michael Lohan’s father passed away at the age of 73 last week, the ex-convict made a point to talk to the media about his kids and his horrible ex-wife, Dina.

Talk about being a media whore!!!

And of course, you’ll recall that Lindsay Lohan spent the day of the wake hanging out and shopping with her girlfriend.

Well, now it’s Daddy’s turn to talk to the media AGAIN.

Hey, he has to pay his bills, right?

Michael has told E! News that he is “set to call truce and reunite with his famous daughter and the rest of his offspring at a burial for his father, Richard.”

He says that although Lindsay was not present for the wake, she will be present for the final service.

Are you sure about that????

Daddy Lohan confirms, “She is going to be at the burial. All my kids will be there.”

Is that a cue for the media to show up????

They should just BOYCOTT the funeral and allow the non-media loving family members to pay their respects in peace.

But, surprisingly enough, Michael even has nice things to say about Dina Lohan!

Someone is trying to do damage control!

He says “And I can’t believe how great Dina has been. She has been wonderful. She has been the woman I married. She has been great.”

Is someone on drugs??????

And as for his dad’s remains, Michael continues to tell the media exactly what will happen, and when and where.

He says, “My father always wanted to be cremated,” he said. “He wanted to have his ashes sprinkled in our county in Cold Spring Harbor, in the harbor. That was his favorite spot. So that is what we are going to do. We are going to get on our boat with probably like 50 or 60 people and go out. We are just going to sprinkle them together as a family.”

And of course, what would a Michael Lohan interview be without more mentions of his daughter?

Michael says, “Lindsay is my daughter. Nothing will ever separate a father’s love from his kids. And that is all that matters. No one will ever change that.”

Sometimes you just need to learn to shut up!

John McCain’s Vice Presidential running mate, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, is EVERYWHERE these days.

In addition to being the topic of conversation at your office watercooler, she’s also on the cover of the new issue of OK! magazine.

Thankfully for her, this cover seems to be a lot ‘friendlier’ than the new Us Weekly cover she’s also on!

The Dalai Lama was admitted to an Indian hospital on Thursday after suffering some abdominal pains.

Eeeek. They must be pretty serious to warrant his hospitalization!

The Dalai Lama’s spokesman, Tenzin Takla, says “Since tests haven’t begun yet, we don’t know what the ailment is. Medical tests will start on Friday.”

He adds that the Dalai Lama was “admitted to hospital because of some abdominal discomfort.”

As for Mumbai’s Lilavati Hospital, its rep says the Dalai Lama “comes every six months for a routine checkup. Around a month ago, a checkup was conducted and he was in perfect health. There is no cause for concern.”

Takla also told the press that the Dalai Lama would stay a few days in Mumbai before returning home.

Recently, he’d just returned from an 11 day visit to France.

And, even though he usually travels for months each year, his trips for the next three weeks have been canceled. That includes trips to the Dominican Republic and Mexico.

Whatever it takes to get superior!

Let’s hope it’s really nothing serious and just some minor stomach pains.

We hope it’s true!

Apparently, saMANtha Ronson’s been telling people that she’s about to write a tell-all book about her life…a life that was pretty uninteresting to almost everyone until a certain Firecrotch entered the picture!

Well, Michael Lohan is convinced that the upcoming book is a good example of how saMAN is using his daughter, LezLo, to advance her profile and he doesn’t like it one bit!

Poppa Lohan says:

“I’ve shut up about this long enough. Samantha is using my daughter. People never even knew who Samantha Ronson was until she met Lindsay. She was just some Los Angeles DJ. And now she’s writing a book? I am at my wit’s end with this stuff. This is not in Lindsay’s best interest. Let’s just say I hope Lindsay starts opening her eyes and realises who the people using her are.”

Takes a ‘user’ to spot a ‘user’?

LezLo won’t like her estranged daddy talking about her girlfriend that way!

Pops Lohan also says saMAN pushed Lindsay off the sober wagon:

“Samantha drinks and passes the drinks under the table to Lindsay, and behind the scenes it gets worse and worse.”

On top of everything else, Lindsay’s dad says saMAN’s the reason the natural redhead hasn’t been working:

“My daughter isn’t working because she’s always with Sam. Even my ex-wife knows it. She just isn’t doing anything about it.”

Maybe it’s a ‘talent’ issue, Michael!

When contacted, Lindsay’s reps of course said everything Michael was wigging about is untrue.

Yeah, she’s TOTALLY sober!

NBC’s got some explaining to do!

We cheered when Australia’s Matthew Mitcham, the only openly male gay athlete who competed at the Beijing Games, scored Olympic gold.

However, we’re jeering at NBC because - unlike their coverage of hetero athletes’ relationships - the network never mentioned the Aussie’s boyfriend/longtime parter during their coverage of the Mitcham story.

NBC did not mention Mitcham’s orientation, nor did they show his family and partner who were in the stands. NBC has made athletes’ significant others a part of the coverage in the past, choosing to spotlight track athlete Sanya Richards’ fiancee, a love triangle between French and Italian swimmers and Kerri Walsh’s wedding ring debacle.

What’s up with that, NBC?

Gay relationships = not the same as straight ones????

Can’t wait ’til November!

According to Fashion Week Daily, Brad Pitt photographed Angelina Jolie and the six kiddies at their chateau in France last week for the November cover of W magazine!!

Ange in a photo alone with 6 kids? She must be a super wrangler!

This is reportedly Poppa Pitt’s ‘inaugural turn’ creating a magazine cover, although photography has been a longtime hobby of his.

This also marks the second time W has scored a highly-coveted Pitt/Jolie exclusive.

Remember that 2005 W magazine spread titled Domestic Bliss?

That was hot!

Someone in New York is pretending to be Lindsay Lohan’s manager.

As if that weren’t bad enough, Shady McShade is also claiming to be Gossip Girl star Blake Lively’s manager.

The “manager” calls himself Roy Cohen and has reportedly been booking parties and shopping sprees for both actresses, which obviously never take place.

Cohen has been calling stores like Gucci and Prada and requesting private store viewing sessions.

He even called the Empire Hotel and claimed that Blake Lively and some friends would be stopping by for a party.

But neither LaLohan nor Lively have showed up to any events scheduled by Cohen.

Lohan’s publicist says of Cohen, “He doesn’t rep Lindsay or Blake and no one knows who the creep is.”

Maybe people should confirm things before believing a phone call????

It doesn’t look like Ricky Martin’s new twinsies will be getting love from the celebrity rags!

Top editors ” target=”_blank”>revealed that they’re ‘backing off’ the Ricky twins story:

“We aren’t jumping like we usually do. We don’t think he is going to tell the backstory, so the whole thing just seems kind of icky.”

Enriquitta’s rep claims they’ve received inquiries from various media outlets, but wouldn’t comment on whether they’re negotiating.

Yeah, right!

Someone will probably end up running a photo of the new daddy and babes, but they’ve been deemed unworthy of a cover!

Another editor said:

“When someone seems like they are hiding something, it’s a big turnoff to the public, who want to share in celebrities’ lives. No one really cared about Clay Aiken becoming a single dad, either.”

Two disses, back-to-back. Loves it!

You gotta be open to be loved!

Bad news for Superman wannabe Shaquille O’Neal.

A Fulton County woman from Georgia has taken out a restraining order against the NBA star!

According to the 23 year-old female, Alexis Miller, Shaq has been stalking her!

Yesterday a judge approved the request after Miller made claims that Shaq threatened her with bodily harm.

She says he also made harassing phone calls to her. He’d call, breathe heavily into the phone, and would then hang up.

Crazy!

Miller’s an “independent music artist” who goes by the name Maryjane. She also says that Shaq threatened to ruin her career by having everyone in the industry turn on her.

Is this chick just making the allegations to try and get publicity for her “music career”????

Apparently this all occurred after Miller ended her “intimate relationship” with Shaq last month.

Shaq has been ordered to stop all contact with Miller and must stay at least 200 yards away from her and her 19 month-old baby at all times.

Shaq’s due back in court on September 4th.

Something smells fishy here!

The wannabe Oprah is working feverishly to build his own empire!

Ryan Seacrest has signed a new multiyear deal with Comcast Entertainment Group, which owns the E! channel.

The new deal expands his TV and New Media production biz across the cable giant’s networks.

The agreement gives Comcast first-look rights to all of Seacrest’s projects through August 2011.

Hopefully they’ll start creating better shows than…. Denise Richards: It’s Complicated.

That shit stinks!

The new deal reportedly includes a new advertising relationship between E! and Seacrest’s radio properties as well. As most of you know, Ryan’s radio empire includes the syndicated American Top 40 and the Los Angeles-based On-Air With Ryan Seacrest.

Ryan’s rolling in dough!
