Dina Lohan is about to get what she always wanted: her own TV show.
Dina - who has ridden the coattails of her eldest daughter, Lindsay, for years trying to become famous - is in talks to do a reality show with E! tentatively titled âMom-ager,â in which sheâll try to turn her youngest children, Ali, 14, and Cody, 11, into stars.
An insider fumed, âCan you believe that? She totally messed up Lindsay by making her a âstarâ and living vicariously through her - and now sheâs going to do the same to the other two? How the [bleep] can E! do this? Those kids should be in school having normal lives, the life that Lindsay didnât get to have.â
Dina, who refers to herself as âthe white Oprah,â has been trying for more than a year to get an on-air TV job. She most recently appeared on âEntertainment Tonightâ to give the show âexclusivesâ with troubled Lindsay - once when she was in the Wonderland rehab center and the other time at the âGeorgia Ruleâ premiere.
Dina failed to return our calls and e-mails, and so did reps for E! and Lindsay.
Meanwhile, Lindsay is at the Promises rehab center in Malibu and âmay stay for more than a month,â a friend said. That might not sit well with the man claiming to be her lawyer, Mike Heller, who is promoting her 21st-birthday party in July at Pure.
A Lindsay friend says, âMike Heller claims he is her lawyer, but he is not. Blair Berk and Jason Sloane are. He arranged for this party at Pure and got paid hundreds of thousands of dollars for it, and now wonât call it off. He says Lindsay doesnât want him to - of course, she doesnât. Sheâs turning 21 - but if he really cared about her, he would cancel it. A girl just out of rehab should not be hanging out at Pure.â
The friend added, â[Heller] is treating her birthday like a carnival - heâs selling tickets to the public and insists on telling media outlets that the party is still on and speaking for her. Her lawyers are thinking of getting an injunction against him.â
Heller, who is a lawyer, told Page Six that heâs not Lindsayâs lawyer, but repeatedly referred to her as âmy client.â He said:
âI care about Lindsay, but itâs her decision whether or not to have her party, and she wants one. I am not selling tickets, and I donât need her to line my pockets. I have my own money. I already got paid by the club, so I donât care if itâs canceled or not.â
