"Top Mom" Gets Reality Show

Not long ago, I wrote about Dina Lohan, Lindsay Lohan's mother, receiving an award for being "Top Mom" from a mother's group in Long Island, New York. Now Dina and her daughter Aliana (she goes by "Ali") have their own reality show called "Living Lohan." The show, which is on E! Entertainment Television fives an inside look at what it is like in the life Lohan house. I'm sure that everyone is familiar with the feud the Lohan clan has with Michael Lohan (their father). Michael is not part of the show, but OK! magazine has given Michael a part of his own: to blog about each episode. It is interesting to see that the Lohan family has decided to have this show, considering the dreaded impact that Hogan Knows Best had on the Hulk Hogan's family. (Speaking of which, do you hear that Brooke Hogan had an accident yesterday? Unlike her brother, Nick Hogan, who wasn't wearing his seat belt when he got into his accident, for which he was sentenced to eight months in jail, 500 hours of community service, and five years of probation, Brooke was wearing her seat belt and no one was injured. I should note that it appears that Brooke's accident was not her fault.)

It is interesting to note that Lindsay did not make an appearance during the premiere, but she was discussed by her mother and sister on a nonstop basis. Dina has stated that Lindsay would not be part of the show, much to the chagrin of the critics and the media. The reason that Dina provided is that Lindsay is "too good" for the show. If Lindsay participated in the show, then it would be taking a step back in her career, rather than advancing it. Since Lindsay was discussed, Michael needed to chime in and let the world know that Lindsay and Samantha Ronson are "engaged." According to Michael, they plan to have a commitment ceremony at Dolly Parton's Dollywood in Tennessee. Personally, I went to Dollywood when I was a kid and could never see it as a romantic place. Am I wrong? Does anyone have any different recollection of the place?

“Top Mom” Award Given Just Before Mother’s Day to Dina Lohan (Lindsay’s Mom) – But Is It So Wrong?

On Tuesday, Mingling Moms, a group designed for mothers with babies up to 12 months old in Long Island, New York, held its “Girls’ Night Out” party where it presented several awards, including the Top Mom award. The Top Mom award was awarded to Dina Lohan, Lindsay Lohan’s mother.
Quite a few articles that I have read have questioned the selection of Dina Lohan. However, my thought is why not? Lindsay’s life, similar to that of Brittany Spears, has been quite chaotic recently. Between the drugs, alcohol, partying, and violations of the law, Lindsay’s life has been a roller coaster. However, is that Dina’s fault? Lohan is currently 21 years old and is definitely quite the adult. Look at Aliana, Lindsay's sister. Although she is a lot younger, she hasn't done anything yet that is similar to Lindsay's behavior. Dina has always been concerned about her daughter’s safety. In fact, last year, Dina compared the paparazzi’s treatment of her daughter to that of Princess Diana. It is true that Dina has acted more like a sister than a mother, but nowadays, with kids shunning their parents, isn’t it better to participate and know what is going on in your child’s life then being clueless? I realize these are two different extremes, and the preferred answer is somewhere in between, but clearly Lindsay wouldn’t have allowed that. So if you were a parent and were faced with the option of either participating and possibly providing some but not a lot of guidance or having no clue what is going on in your child’s life, which would you choose?
