Michael Lohan showed up at the Betty Ford Center today to try to see his daughter Lindsay, and although he was turned away -- believe it or not -- there's still hope Michael might get inside. 
As we first reported, Michael is trying to visit Lindsay as part of Betty Ford's "Family Week" -- and he is technically family.
Sources say Michael was turned away by a guard at Betty Ford who referred him to someone in charge of the "Family Week" list.
We're told Michael went to his nearby hotel room and made the call -- he's waiting for a call back. .

>Does anyone in this family work for a living? Momma and Papa seem to have all the time in the world to court the media and travel from place to place. SandraD
Michael doesn't have a job. He earns his living by calling the press and selling all these stories about Lindsay. Do you really it was a coincidence that a photographer just happened to be standing out front? He'll be sobbing to some magazine about being not being invited to family week. Michael needs to worry about himself and not running around worrying about everyone else

This guy is a loser!!!!!!!! He doesn't care about Lindsay, he just wants to be in the spotlight. If he really cared for her, he would respect her wishes and leave her the hell alone!! Maybe once she's better she'll agree to talk to him but that's up to her!!!!! She should get a restraining order against him if she really wants him to stay away from her....
