Dina and Lindsay: "We're Just So Misunderstood"

Dina Lohan wants to set the record straight: She's not -- not, despite appearances --a party mom. "Whoever said that, my ex-husband or whatever, I'm not the party mom!" she tells Harper's Bazaar in an interview in its April issue.

But she's not afraid to admit that she's living large -- "I'm living the American dream, and you can go ... " -- and that being 44 years old and the mother of four doesn't mean being a stay-at-home frump. "If you can button it and clip it when you're in your 40s, you're going out," she says. And there's little doubt, as TMZ has observed, that she does.

Still, Dina has plenty of mothering to do as well, what with Lindsay, one son in at an unidentified "great" college, another playing soccer in Italy this summer, and young Ali, who's following in big sis' footsteps. This even means holiday dinners every year for friends and family -- who always come first.

Dina also reveals that Lindsay's tried to set her up with various guys, particularly those in showbiz, but that she's demurred every time: "Linds, who am I going to marry? Like, an actor? Not happening." But Dina expresses admiration for some of her daughter's contemporaries in young Hollywood: She says Paris Hilton "a really smart girl" and calls Britney Spears "beautiful."


But Mama Lohan -- whose own daughter is easily one of the most paparazzi-hounded stars around -- also shares a dark prediction with the mag: "Look at me. Diana will happen again," referring to Princess Diana's tragic car crash while being chased by lensman. And as a result, Dina wishes Lindsay would quit the movies, though she admits, "If your daughter is a talented artist, you can't say, 'Stop drawing.'" Ultimately, however, people may just never get them: "We're just so misunderstood," laments Dina.

The only ones who misunderstand the Lohans are themselves. Both of them of complete publicity whores! They are both lying, inconsiderate, delusional, talentless, babbling hags!

I am the mom of 2 sons, ages 18 and 20. It is not my job to party with them. It is my job to help support them financially and emotionally. Their job is to get thru college and become good adults. Dina is an idiot wannabe. Lindsay is heading down the wrong path.

Yeah whatever! She's probably begging her daughter to set her up on dates with celebrities.
Get a life honey and act your age!

Dina needs to start being a MOTHER to Lindsay and stop trying to be her sister--older, haggard, rode-hard-and-put-away-wet sister at that. Who with any sense goes clubbing with their UNDERAGE alcoholic daughter? Oh yeah, Lindsay's the one who pays the bills and Dina can't afford to tick off her meal ticket.

Misunderstood my ass, the only problem you have other than just tell a flat out lie is you're a bad mom. Call Virgie Arthur and she'll tell you that she was so misunderstood. First, stop trying to be your child's friend first before you be her mother. Another thing, stop leeching off her your daughter and go get a job and be example like real mother are. Third and last, I can see why Lindsay is in trouble when her mother is one of the only persons on EARTH who thinks Paris Hilton is smart and Britney is beautiful. Get your eyes checked and see a shrink!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lindsay Lohan is an artist who has achieved more success than most of us will ever know. Accept that she is American Royalty, you'll sleep a lot better with your place in life.

Is this woman totally delusional, or is she just afraid to tick off her meal ticket?
What mother praises her daughter for being a party-whore who pukes in limos after going through rehab? What mother holds Britney and Paris up as paragons of virtue?
This broad isn't a mother -- she's a hanger-on who knows a good thing when she sees it. Too bad she's offering up her daughter as the sacrifice. Grow up Dena... be an example to your daughter instead of her buddy -- something you should have been doing for the last 20 years.

Oh, Waaaaaaahhh to both of you. Life goes on. If you crave attention, then expect all that goes with it. If you don't, then stop going to places where celebs go to be seen, like the Ivy. I feel no pity towards either of you. If the paparazzi wasn't chasing you, you'd be chasing them, I'm sure.
