Lindsay Lohan just unloaded on her father -- slamming Michael for releasing the audio from a personal phone conversation between the two of them.
Linds posted the following message on her Twitter page:
"My fathers such a loser & those recordings are from years ago.
To release personal things is foul enough, but to edit them. I used to think That he needed the book for dummies on learning how to be a father.
Haha-he's needs the book for dummies on HOW TO BE A MAN."
As we previously reported, LiLo is working on getting a restraining order against Michael -- and her lawyer could also file a defamation suit on her behalf.

Lindsay Lohan has now asked her lawyer to take legal action against her dad, stat.
We've learned Lindsay contacted her lawyer, Shawn Chapman Holley, yesterday, asking her to get a restraining order against Michael Lohan, who has been selling his daughter out on TV, talking about her alleged drug use.
Chapman Holley tells TMZ she's putting together a case against Michael and will decide which legal move makes the most sense. Aside from getting a restraining order, Chapman Holley could file a defamation lawsuit against Michael on Lindsay's behalf.
Chapman Holley is also getting in touch with authorities in New York, trying to find out if Michael may have violated a criminal protective order.

Lindsay Lohan is not trying to get a restraining order against her dad ... but we've learned mama Dina is angling to do just that.
Our sources say Dina Lohan has been contacting Lindsay's lawyer, the effervescent Shawn Chapman Holley, ever since LiLo's last court appearance last month.
We're told Dina has asked S.C.H. to go to court on Lindsay's behalf and get an order keeping dad away from daughter. We're told Chapman Holley made it clear ... Lindsay is an adult and can apply for a restraining order if she wants, but Dina has no business in Lindsay's business.
Shawn Chapman Holley told TMZ Lindsay has not -- repeat NOT -- asked her to get a restraining order.
It's pretty clear -- Lindsay can't stand her dad ... at least for now. But she's not taking it to court.

Lindsay Lohan doesn't have a lock on getting in trouble -- her bodyguard got detained yesterday in West Hollywood.
Lindsay was at her favorite watering hole -- Chateau Marmont in West Hollywood. Outside the hotel, there was a barricade -- we don't know why. Deputies from the L.A. County Sheriff's Dept. were enforcing the barricade, when a man -- reportedly Lindsay's bodyguard -- tried crossing the line.
The dude was detained and later let go.

Lindsay Lohan and Sam Ronson shopping for Rolex watches was a really big hit on the Internet ... at least with whoever was using the computer seized from suspected Hollywood Hills Burglar Bunch member Nick Prugo.
We took a few screen grabs of sites visited on the seized comp -- and noticed there was a lot of interest in LiLo and Sam's watch shopping spree at Philllip Jewelry in Beverly Hills back in February.
LiLo's crib was allegedly robbed by the Burglar Bunch months later -- as we previously reported, we also found a picture on the computer of someone wearing what could be one of LiLo's stolen timepieces.

Once again proving how out of touch he is with his daughter, Michael Lohan went on the Maury Povich show today and delivered a televised message to LiLo in which he insulted her ... and then promised to "save her life."
First Mike called Lindsay a "hollow person" ... then claimed there was "nothing left in her" -- and finally said he "couldn't even look at her."
Then, after the dramatic plea, Michael actually had the stones to say, "I hate to speak out publicly like this..."
Right....
FYI -- Today's show was called "You're 14 ... Stop Lap Dancing and Trying to Get Pregnant."
Stay classy, Michael.

Sporting freshly fumigated weaves and looking somewhat lucid, Lindsay Lohan and Paula Abdul stood upright next to each other while at the same event in L.A. on Monday.
No word if they exchanged coherent sentences.

One of the suspects in the Hollywood Hills Burglar Bunch is already turning on her fellow suspects -- blaming everyone but herself for the celebrity stealing spree.
TMZ spoke with Alexis Neiers, aka Alexis Taylor, who wasted no time pointing her finger at suspect Nick Prugo saying, "I know for a fact Nick did all of these burglaries. He did every single burglary, he told me this after the police let him go. Nick is blaming people, trying to get the blame off himself."
Alexis then described the roles of the other four suspects, "Rachel Lee was his main accomplice and they brought Diana Tamayo into this. Diana, Nick and Rachel did the burglaries together. Roy Lopez was the one who sold the stuff they had taken ... and he's friends with Courtney Ames and that's why she was arrested."
Alexis finished up by explaining how she got caught up in the investigation, saying "The only reason they came to my house was because they thought I was holding property for Nick, they even searched my house and found nothing. I'm innocent in all of this and feel terrible for all the people who got robbed."

TMZ has learned cops suspect 19-year-old Rachel Lee is the "master mind" of the Hollywood Hills Burglar Bunch.
Lee was arrested in Las Vegas yesterday -- and law enforcement sources tell us she is suspected of organizing a plan to steal cash, jewelry, clothing, luggage, purses and other personal items from several major Hollywood celebrities, including Paris Hilton, Orlando Bloom, Lindsay Lohan and Rachel Bilson.
We're told when Lee was busted, cops impounded a variety of items from her father's Las Vegas home -- including two laptops, photographs of a partially nude woman, photographs of Lee's friends, more than two hundred $100 bills, a Korean passport and a vial of marijuana.
Sources also tell us cops found a series of items that may have been taken from various celebrity homes. The items include a hat linked to Lindsay Lohan, jeans linked to Rachel Bilson and partially nude photographs linked to Paris Hilton ... no surprise there.
We've learned Lee told the arresting officers she discovered she was a "person of interest" in the case from "watching TMZ."
We're told Lee has denied being involved in any of the burglaries. She's currently behind bars in a Clark County, Nevada jail.

Lindsay Lohan's stolen watch may have reappeared -- possibly on the arm of one of the people accused of taking it.
As we've already told you we got the data from the computer Nick Prugo had used during the alleged spree of the Hollywood Hills Burglar Bunch.
One of the images is a Google search for Lindsay Lohan/Blue Rolex. There's also a Google image search for Lindsay Lohan Rolex.
Police believe one of the celebrity targets was Lindsay Lohan. She had watches, among other items stolen from her home.
The image above is from the same computer, showing someone sporting a blue Rolex. One of Lindsay's reps says it well could be LiLo's watch.
If true, the Burglar Bunch is both bold and stupid for the photographic braggadocio.

TMZ has obtained computer data that seems to link the Hollywood Hills Burglar Bunch to several stars whose homes were hit.
Take a look at this Google Map, isolating the Hollywood Hills home of Orlando Bloom (see yellow thumbtack). The Map was on a computer used by suspected burglar Nick Prugo. Bloom's home was burglarized on July 15 and hundreds of thousands of dollars in watches were stolen. Law enforcement sources tell us they believe the Burglar Bunch hit Bloom's home, in addition to a string of other celebs in the Hollywood Hills. The Map could be a smoking gun.
Nick Prugo and the other suspects used the computer to store photos and videos, showing off jewelry and possibly plotting various burglaries. The computer in question had been stolen from a Los Angeles businessman ... cops believe it was stolen by the Burglar Bunch. The LAPD seized the computer -- but it appeared to have been completely scrubbed so it was returned to the owner.
The owner, however, hired a computer expert who was able to recover a treasure trove of possible evidence linking the Burglar Bunch to various star victims.
Prugo, along with three other women, have been arrested in connection with the burglaries of Lindsay Lohan and Audrina Patridge, both of whom had jewelry stolen from their homes.
