Lindsay Lohan SOBER Family Fun Night (So, Minus Dina?)
Lindsay Lohan is true to her word -- going out for some SOBER fun with everyone in her family ... except Dina Lohan.
Sources close to LiLo tell TMZ ... the recently rehabbed actress went to see "The Conjuring" in NYC with dad Michael Lohan, sister Ali, brother Michael Jr. and her sober companion Monday night. Afterwards they chowed down on Japanese food.
We're told everyone was stone-cold sober the entire night and they still managed to have fun. It's unclear why Dina wasn't a part of the shindig -- but we have a good guess.
Our sources say Lindsay's trying hard to keep her nose clean -- she's relying on little sis Ali for support, having already moved into her NYC apartment.
One day at a time.

Lindsay Lohan Bails On EuroTrip ... Thanks to Oprah
Oprah just spoke about her talk with Lindsay on "Good Morning America." Oprah said she warned Lindsay not to go to Europe because "it's very hard to not go to Capri and not have a Bellini."
Lindsay Lohan will NOT be going to Europe for a 3-week vacation like she planned ... because Oprah convinced Lindsay she'd relapse if she went, TMZ has learned.
TMZ broke the story ... Lindsay booked a one-way ticket to Europe while she was still in treatment, planning to reward her successful rehab stint with a lengthy vacation in the Old World.
Lindsay's flight was scheduled to take off tonight in New York -- with no return date set -- but sources close to Lindsay tell us, the actress just pulled the plug on the trip.
We're told Oprah -- who struck a deal with Lindsay to do a post-rehab docuseries later this month -- told Lindsay she should avoid the vacation so soon after rehab because the temptation to relapse would be too great.
We're told Oprah called Lindsay multiple times over the past 24 hours to convince her to stay put ... and Lindsay bought it, believing she needs to focus on her sobriety right now -- not jetsetting around the world. Impressive.
Also, Oprah was out signing autographs today and talked about her time with LiLo ...

Lindsay Lohan I'm NOT Cutting Dad Out of My Life
This is surprising ... Lindsay Lohan does NOT consider her dad to be a toxic influence -- in fact, she actually wants him to be a big part of her life while she focuses on rebuilding herself after rehab.
As we reported, Lindsay went on a friend-slashing massacre a few weeks ago while in treatment, putting together a list of the bad people she wanted to cut out of her life once she got out -- and Michael was NOT on the list.
We're told Lindsay actually wants to keep Michael around because she believes -- despite his glaring flaws -- that he's actually a positive influence on her ... and family is really important.
Even crazier ... we're told Michael was in the therapy session with Lindsay when she discussed the "bad" list. Her brother Michael Jr. was there too.
Which raises the question: if Michael didn't make the "bad" list, who did???

Lindsay Lohan Out of Rehab Headed for Sober Coach
90 days in rehab didn't make Lindsay Lohan modest -- 'cause she wasted no time showing off her legs moments after leaving Cliffside Tuesday afternoon.
Lindsay was sporting a huge smile, a blue print mini-dress, suede-fringe jacket and some major baggage -- a big blue one -- as she got into the SUV that picked her up from the Malibu facility.
Sources close to Lindsay tell us she'll be staying with a sober coach somewhere in Los Angeles for the next few days.
As we previously reported, Lindsay's telling people in her life she feels like she needs a transition period before re-entering the real world on her own.
Lindsay checked into the Betty Ford Center back on May 2 to begin her court-ordered rehab stay -- and transferred to Cliffside in mid-June.
Gotta say, so far ... she's looking good.

Lindsay Lohan I WANT MORE REHAB!
Lindsay Lohan is officially free to leave rehab Wednesday ... but she's decided on her own to stay longer ... TMZ has learned.
Sources connected with LiLo tell TMZ ... Lindsay has told them she will stay another 3 - 4 days because she feels she needs a transition period before re-entering the free world. We're told she'd like to stay in a "lower level, sober living house" which she believes will help her recovery.
It sounds like B.S. for sure, given Lindsay's many failed, insincere attempts in the past. But several people connected with Lindsay -- whom we trust -- say they're "shocked" at her conduct this time around. One source said, "It's like invasion of the body snatchers. She's a different person."
Lindsay is still moving to NYC when she leaves rehab, and we're told she's scared about the temptations she'll face, but claims she really wants to conquer her demons this time around.
Even the skeptics in her life think she's serious this time.

Lindsay Lohan My Toxic Ex-Friends Are Dead to Me
Lindsay Lohan has made a list ... she's checked it twice ... and she's decided ... the majority of her so-called "friends" will be CUT from her life when she's sprung from rehab.
Sources close to the actress tell TMZ, Lindsay recently sat down at Cliffside -- where she's currently enrolled in a substance abuse treatment program -- and made a list of 100 friends ... who knew?
We’re told Lilo was inspired by a therapy session about "toxic friends and influences." Lindsay actually made 2 lists -- one with the friends she'll keep, and the other with the ones she'll ax.
According to sources, 80 people were on the "cut" list.
The big question ... did Michael Lohan get the chop?

Sources close to LiLo tell TMZ ... after her 90-day-court-ordered rehab finishes up she'll head to London for some R&R ... as the first stop on a European adventure.
We're told a gal pal of LiLo offered to take her as a gift for a "job well done in rehab". And since LiLo has some time before her OWN docu-series begins filming she jumped at the opportunity.
Our sources say she booked a one-way ticket and has no return date set (yet), but hopefully it's before she's scheduled to film.
Lindsay believes the trip will give her some privacy during her post-rehab days.
Plus, it's Europe ... what could go wrong?

Lindsay Lohan Dina Drunk Dialed Therapy Session
Lindsay Lohan's mother has been banned from participating in her rehab treatment after a drunken phone call a few weeks ago ... TMZ has learned.
Sources tell us shortly before Lindsay's birthday, July 2, Cliffside rehab facility got Dina on the phone -- so LiLo could have a conversation with her.
But we're told the person from the clinic who spoke to Dina believed she was hammered, and quickly nixed the idea of letting her speak to Lindsay.
Furthermore, we're told the rehab team felt it would be best for LiLo's treatment if she stopped talking to Dina altogether for the rest of her stay.
Attempts to reach Dina were unsuccessful.

Emma Roberts Friends Worried She's the Next LiLo
Emma Roberts' recent domestic violence arrest came as a SHOCK to the public ... but not to some of her friends ... who fear the actress is headed down a deep, dark path a la Lindsay Lohan.
Sources close to Emma tell TMZ ... over the last year Emma has dug herself deep into the L.A. party scene. We're told it all started after she broke up with "Glee" star Chord Overstreet -- she began going out all night, hitting the clubs and surrounding herself with people who don't keep their noses clean.
Our sources say a lot of Emma's friends don't know how to help her because Emma won't acknowledge the change in her behavior.
Indeed, we're told after her arrest ... Emma wouldn't talk to her friends about it, acting like nothing happened. Her friends are convinced ... a night of partying contributed to the brawl and the arrest.
TMZ broke the story ... Emma was arrested in Canada earlier this month, after she allegedly gave her boyfriend a bloody nose during a blow-out fight. Sources connected with Emma say it was mutual combat. The matter was dropped after her BF chose not to press charges.

Lindsay Lohan to Oprah $2 Mil For My Thoughts!
Lindsay Lohan's guts don't come cheap, because we found out she's spilling them to Oprah at a cost of around $2 million.
Sources close to Lindsay tell us ... The Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN) has been negotiating with Lindsay for 4 months. The plan -- an 8-part docu-series about Lindsay's struggles, her career and her plans for the future -- but we're guessing it's mostly about her struggles.
It's a better deal for Lindsay than just taking her top off. For that ... Playboy paid her a measly $1 mil.
Ironically ... Lindsay's latest rehab stint may have scored her more cash, because of the drama and interest created around almost going to jail, firing her lawyer, going to Betty Ford, bailing from Betty Ford ... and on and on.
Sources tell us ... Lindsay actually signed the deal at Betty Ford.
Lindsay got some perks from Oprah as well -- as in TWO fully-paid assistants and a stylist.
Substance abuse can pay handsomely -- Who knew?
Hey, we interviewed Lindsay for free -- check it out!

Lindsay Lohan Back to NYC After Rehab For Better or Worse

Sources close to Linds tell us she's decided to set up shop in NYC when she gets out of Cliffside rehab in early August.
As we previously reported ... Lindsay was telling friends she was thinking about moving far from L.A. or NYC because there were too many temptations for a recovering addict, and too many paparazzi.
We're told the chunky middle of the U.S. of A. is no longer appealing, so she's going back to NYC.
What could go wrong?

Lindsay Lohan BIG Bday Plans ...With Her Lawyer
Lindsay Lohan is celebrating her birthday today with the one person in her life she can count on ... her lawyer Shawn Holley.
Sources close to LiLo tell TMZ ... Cliffside -- where she's currently in rehab -- denied the actress' request to have friends visit on her day of birth (i.e. today). Visiting days are only on Sundays ... rules are rules.
We're told LiLo's plan B was asking if she could leave the facility to get dinner with friends (with the DA's permission of course). Again she was shot down.
But all hope was not lost ... certain people can visit patients outside of visiting hours, like lawyers. And we're told Shawn is headed to the Malibu rehab joint to hang out with LiLo while she sulks over b-day #27.
As TMZ previously reported, LiLo was already pissed she'd be on lockdown for her birthday ... she wanted to have a huge party in NYC.
We'd say better luck next year, but y'know ...

Lindsay Lohan Terrified of Relapsing I'm Going Into Hiding!!!
Lindsay Lohan is going from reckless to recluse -- we've learned she plans to go deep into hiding after she gets out of rehab in August ... to maintain her sobriety.
Sources close to Lindsay tell us, she now realizes she's been powerless in combating her addictions, and says cities like New York and L.A. only feed her demons ... so she needs to get out STAT.
Lindsay's scheduled to get out of rehab in early August -- and we're told she plans to move somewhere in the U.S. where there are no paparazzi ... somewhere she can get back in touch with her true self. A little pie in the sky, but that's what she thinks.
Sources connected with her treatment claim the 12-step program has been working. We're also told she's deathly afraid of relapsing, and escape is her solution.
As for how long she wants to disappear, we're told Lindsay's not sure -- as long as it takes.

Lindsay Lohan $5 Mil Lawsuit On 'Rehab Hold'
Lindsay Lohan just learned a bad lesson while she tries to get her life back on track in rehab -- addicts get special breaks when they're sued.
As we reported, D.N.A.M. Apparel Industries -- which manufactured clothes for Lindsay's 6126 line back in 2009-2010 -- sued the actress for the massive $5 million sum in May, claiming her "drug-addled image" made the clothes unsellable ... and they lost millions as a result.
But in a twist of irony, Lindsay's "drug-addled image" just bought her more than a month to scramble a legal defense -- because D.N.A.M. has just agreed to a ceasefire while she's in treatment.
According to new court docs, D.N.A.M. won't serve Lindsay 'til she leaves rehab in mid-August "in a gesture of good faith and so as not to disturb her healing process."
FYI, the lawsuit's already been filed ... but the legal process can't begin until Lindsay has been served with the documents.
You'll recall ... Lindsay initially sued D.N.A.M. for $1.1 million, claiming the company licensed the 6126 trademark, but shortchanged her big time on hundreds of thousands of dollars she claims she was promised in exchange.

Tanning Mom Enters Rehab For Booze
45-year-old Tanning Mom has entered rehab for alcohol abuse, TMZ has learned.
Sources close to Patricia Krentcil -- who famously faced child endangerment charges last year after allegedly putting her 5-year-old in a tanning booth -- tell us she entered Lukens Institute in Palm Beach Thursday night.
We're told Tanning Mom realized she had hit rock bottom after she was placed in detox for 30 hours at an airport in Minneapolis last week ... for being way too drunk to fly.
Of course, TM has had a few public drunken incidents -- last August she was a wasted, stumbling, panty-flashing mess at a gay nightclub in NYC. 'Memba that? So it's not a huge surprise.
As for why she ended up at Lukens -- a rehab center endorsed by Michael Lohan -- we're told TM reached out to Michael about treatment because the two went to high school together ... and she heard Michael mention Lukens' unique treatment and success in a recent interview.
Krentcil will remain in treatment for 30 days.
