RUNNING LOHAN EXCUSES

Poor Dina Lohan. Not only does she have to put up with having a daughter like Lindsay, now she is obliged to have a film crew follow her and her family around and record their every waking moment. Why would she do such a thing? Money? Having a taste of the spotlight and loving it? No, the poor dear was forced into it.

She whined to PageSix.com...

"We're doing it, because it's not going away. We're going to find a way to navigate through the waters of that, tabloidisim and just try to have a career and be successful. There's no protection like the old days."

Dammit, the good old days! Those days where someone had to be talented to be followed around and photographed (which means that Dina's daughter could be flashing her mimsy all around Hollywood and no one would give a damn).

Dina has spent the whole of her life pushing Lindsay towards stardom and reaping the benefits by exposing her opinions to the press when her daughter began to unravel, so she has some brass neck to complain about the situation now.

Still, there's a silver lining as she can now forge her own career, whilst pretending her next victim, sorry daughter Ali, is the star of the show.

"Tabloids and reality shows are not going away. If they know who Ali is as a person, it's better."

The simple truth is, if you lie down with dogs, you get fleas. Though if you lie down with one of those Pekingese, they will almost certainly try to have sex with your leg in the middle of the night. Really.
