When Michael Lohan returns home from his trip to Boston this weekend, he'll have a present waiting for him -- courtesy of the lawyers at TLC.
Lohan tells TMZ he has been subpoenaed to testify in TLC's breach of contract lawsuit against Jon Gosselin. Lohan says he was contacted by a process server on Friday. He says he told the process server he was out of town, but that he accepts the papers and that she can leave them at his house.
Michael says he hasn't seen the papers yet.
TLC is suing Gosselin, claiming he broke his deal with TLC when he began taking money to appear on other shows and talking about "Jon & Kate" without proper permission.
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.
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."
There was a d-bag dad summit in Pennsylvania this weekend, as Michael Lohan paid Jon Gosselin a visit.
Topics covered during the momentous meeting included: alienating your children, fame-whoring your way to the bottom and how to bad mouth your ex and come out looking worse.
You gotta hand it to 'em -- the Lohans sure do take nice mug shots.
The cops just released this snazzy mug of Michael Lohan, after he was arrested last March for allegedly threatening to off himself and his fiancee after she tried to dump him.
Michael pled not guilty to aggravated harassment yesterday. He's sure a good-looking dude.
Depending on how a court decides, Lindsay Lohan could have a great excuse for her nuclear breakup with Samantha Ronson: "I learned it from you, dad!"
Michael Lohan,Lindsay's pop, pled not guilty to second degree aggravated harassment yesterday after he allegedly threatened to kill himself and his fiancee, Erin Muller, when she tried to dump him back in March.
Cops tell us Michael surrendered himself for arrest on April 6 in Suffolk County. MiLo is due back in court next month.
Fun fact: If Lohan's arrest had happened two months earlier, he'd have been in some serious trouble -- the terms of his parole for a 2004 assault bust just ended in February.
Lindsay Lohan and Sam Ronson looked especially tight at Rite Aid in L.A. yesterday ...and speaking of tight, it looks like daddy Michael Lohan's lips may be belatedly following suit.
In a post on his website this morning, Michael writes "There is a truce between Lindsay and I, so please stop adding any fuel to the fire. I respectfully ask that all sources, so called friends and mouthpieces refrain from any more comments or suggestions on her blog."
This, from the man who had been on a trash-talking tirade against Sam and his own daughter for the last week.
P.S. -- on the "sane scale," Sam Ronson seems to register at a respectable level ... Michael seems to be off the charts, and not in a good way.
Michael Lohan officially announced his engagement last night to some young chick named Erin -- and being a famewhore father of a famous starlet must pay well, because check out that ring....though it's probably cubic zirconia.
Michael Lohan refuses to give Samantha Ronson any credit for keeping Lindsay clean because he says it all comes down to LiLo's love for the man upstairs. Who knew?
Michael Lohan in NYC looked to make a few things clear -- his daughter Ali's boob job is bogus and that stingy paternity test is still pending.
But the best news -- Michael says he hasn't been approached to be in the second season of "Living Lohan." Which hopefully means -- we will never see a second season of "Living Lohan."
... Starring Michael Lohan! Sorry. We were all ready to get the dirt from Mr. Ms. Lindsay Lohan on his daughter when all hell broke loose thanks to a perfectly-timed sprinkler system at the Social Life Magazine House in the Hamptons.
MiLo blasted LAPD Police Chief Bratton for being a hypocrite, which would have meant something if it had come from anybody other than him.
Harvey Levin You're not the only one who thinks T.O. isn't doing that well this season... http://su.pr/5bNNfP
