Lindsay Lohan is finally out of rehab. Below, we’ve developed a 10-point program to get her back on top where she belongs. 1. Lindsay Lohan ‘s father is hoping his daughter’s post-rehab encounter with her Freaky Friday co-star Jamie Lee Curtis will mark the start of the troubled actress’ comeback. Sources extremely close to Lindsay tell us she spoke to Sam this week and explained she had “no idea” she was moving in to the condo directly next door …  and apologized for the surprise. It seems like someone was being very generous to the 24-year-old actress who is fresh out of rehab. To top things off, she could be charged with probation violation after a fight with a staff member in rehab. The 24 year old has endured a notoriously tough fall from grace since she shot to fame as a Disney child star, with numerous stints in jail and rehab over the last few years. Namely, her mother, father and ex-girlfriend Samantha Ronson . Lindsay tweeted , “Thanks @Trevkgimotors and Amber at Germanindependent.org for the ONYX range rover” Earlier in the week, Lindsay used a magazine to shield herself from photographers after going for a workout at the gym.

Lohan had a chance encounter with Curtis – who championed the actress’ talents after starring alongside her in 2003 – in Los Angeles on Tuesday, and her father is convinced the meeting symbolises a change in his daughter’s fortunes. She needs to dye her hair red again. 3. All the people that were in Lindsay’s life when things were going well, when she was in Freaky Friday, Mean Girls, are now coming back into her life. If leggings don’t work, we know Lindz likes root beer. Don’t, and we mean DON’T, open a rehab center, like her miserable mom said she was planning on doing. Actually, she shouldn’t listen to ANYTHING her mom says.

Lohan was aware Sam lived somewhere in Venice, Ca but she didn’t know how close her new pad was to Ronson’s home until family members saw the DJ pull in to the garage next door on Monday. Now after Lindsay’s father went through all the trouble of moving her in we’re told Lohan is considering moving out of the place after learning Sam was “pissed” at the situation. Due to conflicting reports as to whether or not Lindsay Lohan is actually out of rehab right now, we aren’t entirely sure where in the world the troubled starlet is at the moment. Not letting her recent rehab stint get her down, Lindsay was casually glam in black sunglasses and a scarf, riding in the passenger seat of a car as she smiled and adjusted the rear-view mirror. It sounds like a reasonable enough idea: leave rehab and get the heck out of town. Even tho we don’t where where she is, I can tell you where her personal belongings are … in her new Venice, CA swanky beachfront apartment . And though Holland is “no longer cooperating with the investigation and does not wish to have charges filed,” according to the Riverside sheriff’s office, “It is expected that this investigation will be sent to the district attorney’s office later this week.” In an interview with TMZ, Holland claimed Lohan and two other female Betty Ford patients left the facility without permission and declined breathalyzer tests upon their return. The Palm Desert Police Department was investigating an alleged battery between Lohan and Betty Ford Center staff member, Dawn Holland , but told ET that Holland’s attorney notified them that “she will no longer be cooperating with the investigation and does not wish to have charges filed.” However, the police department will send their findings from the investigation to the District Attorney’s office saying that it was determined that Lohan “violated several aspects of her probation, including the battery.” Lohan’s lawyer, Shawn Chapman Holley , responded to the police department’s statement Tuesday, saying, “The important, yet limited, investigatory role of the police to gather facts and collect evidence is well-established. Holland claimed Lindsay became belligerent, pushed her and snatched a phone from her hand, straining her arm. When Holland requested that Lohan take a Breathalyzer test, the actress reportedly pushed Holland, who then tried to dial 911.

As you can see, Michael Lohan was on hand to help move some BIG boxes from Lindsay ‘s old apartment into the moving trucks … but don’t be fooled. It will be up to the district attorney’s office to determine whether charges will be filed.

Why, it’s none other than celebrity DJ Samantha Ronson … who, wouldn’t you know it, used to date Lindsay Lohan a few years ago. Betty Ford employee Dawn Holland was fired the same day she went public with claims that Lohan threw a phone at her and yanked another phone out of her hand, causing a sprain after a confrontation at the famed Rancho Mirage, Calif., clinic. That is only expected to worsen with her recent legal troubles. “Because we have the Coachella Valley, there is nothing new or novel to Riverside County about handling celebrity (cases),” Zellerbach said. Holland stated that Lohan was acting “out of control” and had alcohol on her breath and refused to take a Breathalyzer test when she was caught coming home past curfew. Unfortunately for Lohan, 24, her former paramour is none too pleased with her new neighbor.

When Lohan’s dad, Michael, was moving things into her new place, “Samantha walked out of the building next door,” a source tells UsMagazine.com. A few days later, however, on Sept. 27, she voluntarily entered rehab at Betty Ford. Calls to attorney Davidson as well as Lohan’s publicist and manager were not returned. BUT … now that Lindsay and Sam are neighbors, I suppose it’s also in the realm of possibility that the ladies could become friends again … maybe more (perhaps the rebirth of L. We’re told Lindsay doesn’t want to break the lease which would cost her big bucks but she also doesn’t want to “ruffle any feathers.” Still, with literally millions of dwellings in L.A., we gotta ask …

Davidson says Holland – who alleged that Lohan was “out of control” earlier this week, causing a sprain in her right arm and hand – sympathizes with Lohan. The two share a similar struggle: They’re both recovering addicts. Lindsay Lohan’s mum Dina is backing her daughter ’100 per cent’ over her bust-up with a Betty Ford worker. That top has to be a violation of some kind, however . She said: ‘I stand behind my daughter 100 % … the whole thing with the woman is a little sketchy.’ Dina added: ‘With all the fabulous employees they have, it’s unfortunate that someone with this kind of background gets through.

Though they wouldn’t comment on the nature of the probe or if it were directly related to that apparent scuffle between the “Mean Girls” actress and a Betty Ford staffer, the news comes just a day after the center fired the employee for giving an on-camera interview with gossip website TMZ. Experts believe the interview could violate state and federal medical privacy laws that prohibit medical personnel from discussing the treatment of patients. According to Lohan’s camp, she met a friend at the Viceroy Hotel in Palm Springs, Calif., on December 11 to get her hair done . According to TMZ , Dina Lohan said Holland’s claims that Dina was instructing her daughter to decline the breathalyzer during a phone conversation are false. LiLo, who was sent to rehab after serving 13 days in jail for violating her probation in an ’07 DUI case, claims Holland was so abusive she made her cry. Lohan’s attorney, Shawn Chapman Holley, has declined comment on the incident, but said it was the actress who called police. “When patients come to the center for treatment, they come to a safe place where their identity is protected, where anonymity is safeguarded,” the Betty Ford Center said in a statement.

Ultimately, it’s up to Judge Fox.  Worst case scenario for Lindsay … back in the pokey for 6 months. Heroes ‘ baddest bad girl, Ali Larter , gave birth to a boy on Monday in Lalaland, her rep tells UsMagazine.com. Holland alleges Lohan hurt her bad enough for her to go on workers’ comp. “I don’t see any criminal prosecution, but I do see some investigation to see whether this is a systemic problem or just an isolated incident with one wayward employee,” Cron said.

My house was in foreclosure. Davidson said his client was only discussing a police report she wrote and filed with sheriff’s deputies, alleging the criminal act. The Hartford Courant says police have arrested two young gents, Alexander Hernandez , 19, and Santos Padilla , 21, after finding them hiding in closets in 50 Cent ‘s Farmington, Conn., manse. Cops found Hernandez sipping Fiddy’s vino. Lohan’s attorney, Shawn Chapman Holley, said in a statement that it was the actress who made the 911 call to alert authorities to the incident . She’s looking for money and fame. Holley did not provide further details. Blige , Jay-Z , and Bruce Springsteen about performing. . . . Zsa Zsa Gabor ‘s better half, Prince Frederic Von Anhalt , glued shut his right eye Tuesday after mistaking a bottle of his wife’s nail glue for eyedrops, says CNN. “I stand behind my daughter 100 percent,” Dina Lohan told TMZ. “The whole thing with the woman is a little sketchy.”

Dina says, when she was speaking with Lindsay, she was merely trying to comfort her after what the employee did to her.  Lindsay claims Holland berated and grabbed her. Dawn Holland, a chemical technician at the Betty Ford Center, told TMZ that on Dec. 12, Lohan and her roommates tried to sneak back into their sober living residence after curfew but were caught by security. The situation arose as Lindsay and two other girls were on a pass. Lindsay was getting her hair done while the other two girls went their own way. Meanwhile, no charges have been filed in the matter against Lohan, who has been in the rehab center since September. When it was time to get back, Lindsay and the two girls had a problem meeting up, to which they wound up being 10 minutes later back to the property. “Lindsay and the other two girls tested negative for drugs and alcohol.” After a trip to the emergency room, she “found out I have a severe sprain to my arm and my hand.” Holland refutes Lohan’s claim that she initiated the altercation, saying, “I did not touch the woman.

div class=”post” meebo:title=”Probation Dept. Key Player in Lindsay’s Freedom” meebo:description=”Good news for Lindsay Lohan … TMZ has learned the L.A. TMZ has learned the L.A. County Probation Department won’t go after her for the alleged battery at the Betty Ford Center … unless she’s convicted. Dawn apparently smelled alcohol on Lindsay and attempted to do a breathalyzer test on the 24-year-old, which she strongly refused to partake in. The woman, Dawn Holland, prompted a police investigation after alleging that Lohan assaulted her when she confronted the troubled star on her return from a visit to a bar this weekend. She spoke to celebrity website TMZ.com about the incident, claiming that Lohan, 24, pushed her and threw a phone at her as Lohan flew into a rage after being caught drinking. Holland claimed Lohan assaulted her when she tried to call police. CNN reports that Gabor once hurt her eye in a similar fashion when she accidentally applied crazy glue her eyelashes. And Lilo says she wanted to take a breathalyzer to prove her story, but Dawn didn’t let her. I am not willing to risk my job over any patient.” Whoops!

Von Anhalt removed the glue from the bathroom after the incident to ensure it would not be repeated. The centre regularly tests her for drug and alcohol use and Lohan could be in more trouble for violating the terms of her probation if she tests positive. TMZ claims it has video footage and witness accounts that back up Lohan’s version of events. “I literally think I look bad in every picture,” she said, “I don’t know, who feels good looking at themselves?” She also mentioned that she hates watching her own films. We’re told the Probation Department has not made a recommendation to the judge on violating her probation based on the breathalyzer test at least not so far. Ultimately, it’s up to Judge Fox.  Worst case scenario for Lindsay … back in the pokey for 6 months.

A judge overseeing her probation for a 3-year-old drunk driving case has required Lohan to remain at the rehab centre until Jan. 3. Fox has scheduled a hearing on Lohan’s progress for Feb. 25. This Just in . . . l Lindsay Lohan is being investigated for allegedly assaulting a female staffer at the Betty Ford Center, where she’s been in rehab since September.

And she’s not the only one there with problems. Anna Chapman , however, did not pose for the magazine, which instead obtained private boudoir photos from an ex-boyfriend. No further details were available. The actress’ lawyer released a statement, saying that Lohan called the police, but did not provide further details. Lohan’s lawyer said the actress called the police emergency number. The actress pushed her, the woman claimed, and later pulled a telephone from her hand, resulting in a sprain.

Ms Holland said she was trying to get Lohan to submit to a breathalyser test when the actress became belligerent, pushed her and snatched a phone from her hand, straining her arm. “She was very angry and out of control,” says Holland. Riverside County sheriff’s deputy Herlinda Valenzuela said Lindsay’s case would be presented to prosecutors, who would decide whether she should be charged. Fox has said that it would be possible for Lohan to be placed on informal probation should she remain trouble-free before the hearing. Prosecutors had been seeking a six-month jail term after the actress failed a drug test within weeks of being released early from another court-ordered rehab program. Lohan’s stint at Betty Ford is her fifth stay in rehab and her second this year.

Palm Desert police conducted a battery investigation at the scene at about 1 a.m. on Dec. 12. “The victim desired prosecution,” says Sgt. Sept. 24: Lindsay Lohan arrives at a court hearing in Los Angeles after failing a court-mandated drug test. Lindsay Lohan ‘s clean streak may have met its end. “The incident is being investigated as a misdemeanor.” A source close to Lohan, 24, says the actress denies pushing the woman first.

Police arrived at a Betty Ford Center facility early Dec. 12 in response to incident involving Lohan, the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department said in a statement to ABCNews.com. Riverside County sheriff’s Deputy Herlinda Valenzuela said officers responded to a call on Dec. 12 shortly after 1 a.m. for an incident involving Lohan. It all comes back to Lindsay’s Beverly Hills DUI arrest in 2007 a crime for which she’s still on probation and the probation doesn’t terminate until August 2011. It isn’t known whether she had been drinking; the Betty Ford Center regularly tests patients for alcohol and drugs.

No arrests were made, but an investigation is ongoing. TMZ is reporting that Lindsay says a staffer put her hands on Lindsay after the star arrived about 10 minutes late for curfew. As we previously reported, the BFC staffer wants Lindsay prosecuted for criminal battery. Lohan was reported as a suspect in the investigation.

Fox warned he’d send Lohan to jail for up to six months if she got into trouble.

One of the terms of the probation is “obey all laws” and if Judge Elden Fox decides LiLo committed a battery at the BFC, he could send her back to the slammer for 180 days. The investigation is currently ongoing. Earlier this year, she served two prison stints for violating her 2007 DUI probation. One of the terms of Lohan’s probation is to abide by all laws. A violation could send her back to jail. As of Tuesday, Beverly Hills Superior Court Judge Elden Fox, who’s overseeing her case, has not been notified, according to a court source.

The troubled starlet is now at the center of a criminal battery investigation following a Dec. 12 incident at the Betty Ford Clinic, in which a staffer is accusing Lohan of “hand-to-hand battery,” TMZ is reporting . Even now that Lindsay Lohan is in a treatment facility and doing better, drama still finds her. The alleged incident involved a female member of staff at the centre and the victim wants Lindsay to be prosecuted. The Palm Desert Police are currently investigating the incident, and may move forward with any charges they deem fit.

Lindsay Lohan was recently moved to the separate sober house after she was getting creepy messages from an unknown person. They said things like “I am watching you,” and it was thought that it was the former manager of Britney Spears.

div class=”post” meebo:title=”Lindsay Lohan Scared of ‘Psychotic’ Photog” meebo:description=”Lindsay Lohan knows the drill dealing with paparazzi but one photog has Lindsay scared stiff. Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ … there’s a photog who drives around in a Prius with tinted windows who follows her everywhere she goes, running up to her car and yelling at her every time her car comes to a stop. Lindsay Lohan knows all about doing things strictly to get the attention of dealing with the paparazzi, but feels one shutterbug has crossed the line. The actress, who is completing a three-month court ordered stay in rehab, was tweeting an advertisement for gift cards on her account all day on Wednesday to her over 1.4 million followers. TMZ reports that associates of troubled actress Lohan—who’s recently been receiving harassing phone calls and text messages while undergoing rehab treatment at the Betty Ford Center—believe that the person behind the calls is none other than Osama “Sam” Lutfi , the self-styled former manager of Britney Spears who glommed onto the singer while she was experiencing her own troubles. Apparently, Lindsay will tweet on your behalf for the right price. Lutfi was Britney’s sole confidant just before she was placed on a 5150 psychiatric hold .   Britney’s family believed Lutfi was plying Brit with drugs and taking her down a path of destruction.  Britney’s conservators eventually obtained a restraining order against Lutfi in 2008. He’s there EVERY day and doesn’t miss a beat when she ventures out. She belongs to a promotion network, Mylikes, where TaDa publishes its sale content. In at least one of the messages in question, Lindsay is warned to stay away from her mother, Dina Lohan —who shares a less-than-ideal relationship with her ex-husband Michael.

She belongs to a promotion network, Mylikes, where TaDa publishes its sale content. Lindsay is convinced the pap is “psychotic.” Lindsay is so upset, she’s asked her lawyer to go to court and get a restraining order against this pap and several others, but so far nothing’s been filed in court.

And the paparazzo isn’t Lindsay’s only headache.

div class=”post” meebo:title=”Lindsay Lohan Oops, My Top’s Down!” meebo:description=”Watch out world … Lindsay Lohan is finally back behind the wheel of a car. “Judge Elden Fox was very clear with his order that he wanted her to stay in rehab until New Year’s,” says a close source. Sources close to Lilo tell us the car doesn’t belong to her we’re told she’s using the BMW as a rental while the Mercedes her father gave her is being fixed up in the shop. During the course of the evening Michael claims he experimented with the herbal high. It was true on Thanksgiving. When asked where he and his ex-wife were when Lindsay, 24, was conceived, Michael told the Playboy Morning Show on Sirius-XM radio: “When Dina and I were in Switzerland. Dina wants her home, but her dad Michael is supporting whatever Lindsay’s treatment team is recommending.” You’re stuck in a chalet for three days so you’re going to have a lot of sex.” When further probed about which sexual position they were in when Lindsay was created, he quipped: “Don’t even want to go there – there are so many positions – actually probably on my hands and knees!” When asked about whether he had used cannabis – also known as pot – at the time, Michael claimed: “It was the first time I ever smoked pot in my entire life.” Meanwhile, it has been revealed Lindsay will be allowed out of the Betty Ford Centre for Christmas Day (25.12.10). But flying home to Dina’s? “It was never a consideration for Thanksgiving and it won’t be for Christmas.

Although she will be given a day release, the ‘Machete’ star will not be allowed out the state of California; a ruling which has reportedly upset her mother, who lives in New York and wanted Lindsay to spend the holiday with her at the family home. The troubled 24-year old’s good behavior at Betty Ford has earned her short shopping excursions and trips to her Los Angeles home. “Dina hasn’t agreed to be anywhere under the same roof with Michael ,” the source said. She is expected to be released from rehab in January. As we first reported, Betty Ford was reluctant to let Lindsay drive at all because they thought paparazzi would follow her … creating a dangerous driving environment. But now she’s free to drive as much as she wants … as long as she’s sober.

LOVE this quote.” Cruise starred in Vanilla Sky, a 2001 film directed Cameron Crowe about a publisher whose life changes after a car crash with a jaded ex. Lohan meanwhile, has reportedly returned to the Betty Ford center where she is continuing treatment until January 3. Perhaps her brush with the outside world has rekindled her love of social media. Before heading to rehab, Lohan made some now-infamous tweets, including one on September 18 where she admitted failing a drug test before she headed back to rehab. I am working hard to overcome it and am taking positive steps forward every day. I am testing every single day and doing what I must do to prevent any mishaps in the future” she continued.

Lindsay Lohan has quit her gig as the lead role, Linda Lovelace on the upcoming flick, Inferno .  Word has it that she wants to focus on getting better and that doing the movie wasn’t the right thing for her anymore. Lindsay Lohan won’t be playing 1970s porn star Linda Lovelace in “Inferno.” Writer-director Matthew Wilder said his production team is in negotiations with another actress and will make an announcement soon. Another day, another piece of seemingly bad news for Lindsay Lohan.

She won’t be doing the film. “Ultimately, the impossibility of insuring her and some other issues have made it impossible for us to go forward.” Some media reports said the 24-year-old starlet quit to focus on her court-ordered rehab for drug addiction; others said Wilder wanted her replaced. We’re told Lindsay felt the project no longer felt right but that her and the director, Matthew Wilder, remain on good terms and hope to work together in the future.

The “Mean Girls” star is expected to be in rehab at the Betty Ford Center in California until at least Jan. 3. UPDATE : A rep for Lindsay adds says that Lindsay is “concentrating on her recovery” and calls the decision to leave the film “mutual.” Tags: Lindsay Lohan The actress has become more of a tabloid mainstay than box office draw since a pair of high-profile arrests in 2007 led to a drug and drunken driving case.

Lindsay Lohan can’t even get work in a “porn” flick. The damaged actress, who was set to star as 1970s “Deep Throat” porn star Linda Lovelace in the biopic “Inferno,” was canned because she’s too “high-risk” to work with, director Matthew Wilder said yesterday. “We are withdrawing our offer from Lindsay Lohan,” Wilder told E!. While it may seem a harsh strike against Lohan 24, who is currently in rehab at the Betty Ford Center in California, the director says it’s not personal, it’s business. We’re told Lindsay felt the project no longer felt right but that her and the director, Matthew Wilder, remain on good terms and hope to work together in the future. I’m sure there are those who warned her about signing on for such a controversial project, but I have a feeling that her faith in the filmmakers will pay off for her career. With Lindsay Lohan tossed, Wilder and his team must now turn their attention toward finding a suitable replacement with presumably a big enough name to draw interest. This actress will need to embody the persona of a woman whose appearance in the film Deep Throat turned her from a virtual no one into a celebrated icon within a few short months, not to mention be immediately compared to Lindsay Lohan. The film was hyped as Lohan’s big chance at a comeback after her hot career flamed out amid her battle with drug addiction. “Ultimately, the impossibility of insuring her, and other issues, have made it impossible for us to go forward.”

As we first reported, Lohan was hoping to get permission from Betty Ford to head back to NY for the holiday, so she could be with her mother and the rest of the family.

But we’re told BF wasn’t having it, so she’ll be in sunny California next Thursday.  We’re told Lindsay will spend the day at a home where Michael is staying, close to Betty Ford.  Michael wants Dina and the kids to come out and spend the day … but we’re told Dina’s not biting. Malin Akerman is the latest starlet to be attached to “Inferno”, the biopic about the late 70s porn star Linda Lovelace, based on her own memoir. Lohan’s separation from the project first came to light earlier today when TMZ reported she quit the project. Wearing her Ray-Bans to block out the desert sun, the “Georgia Rule” actress donned a blue buttondown top with black leggings as she loaded up on a few new items for her wardrobe. It might seem another signal that Lohan’s career has burnt out, but, then again, is this pink slip the best thing that could happen to the actress? (At least in a good long while.) Though the role would have garnered plenty of press for Lohan (like she needs it) — and biopics are generally a good way to capture the critics’ attention — perhaps a post-rehab Lohan would be better served straying as far away as possible from sex, drugs, and rock and roll. “We are currently in negotiations (with another actress) and working out the legalities of bringing her on board.” Ultimately Wilder said the issue came down to “the impossibility” of insuring the actress “and some other issues.” Lohan has been in and out of jail and rehab over the past year and is currently living at a sober living facility in Rancho Mirage, Calif. While it was first reported that she’d been let go due to her legal troubles, it has since been told the Lindsay opted out of the role to focus on her recovery. So Michael’s Plan B is getting the whole clan together for XMAS.

That’s the time for miracles, right?

Lindsay Lohan had been attached and many thought it could be a comeback vehicle for her after her roller coaster addiction and legal issues over the past year. Lohan, 24, was set to star as the infamous porn star, but the part is now being re-cast. He said he would not recast the role under any circumstance, even as Lohan’s legal troubles began to take over her life.

After an emotional reunion in rehab, Lindsay Lohan and Michael Lohan are back on speaking terms and have apparently turned over a new leaf. No, this is not April Fool’s Day! NEW YORK (Reuters) – Lindsay Lohan’s experience at the Betty Ford Center has led her to want to open her own rehab facilities for other young troubled people, the actress’s mother said on Monday. After seven months of estrangement, Lindsay Lohan finally spent some time with her dad, Michael on Sunday–and RadarOnline.com has the exclusive photos. These two are getting along. “Michael and Lindsay were at the mall for quite a while, but spent most of their time in a jewelry store,” an eyewitness told RadarOnline.com. “It was an emotional reunion… there were hugs, kisses and even a few tears when Michael and Lindsay first saw each other,” a source said . A COSTAR’S LOSS Jill Clayburgh is gone but not forgotten. “We take it one day at a time, addiction is difficult. She said: “She’s just a different person.

“They also went shopping at a local Palm Desert mall, where they were seen walking around together and at one point, were in a jewelry store,” the source went on saying. As a mother it wasn’t for me to come to tell the world … about her problem.” “That was for her to do,” she said. Gyllenhaal credits her iconic portrayal of a divorcee in 1978′s An Unmarried Woman with helping his own mother through divorce. She appeared genuinely happy to be spending time with her father.” Lindsay’s mother, Dina Lohan, also recently told “Today” ‘s Matt Lauer that it would be good for the 24-year-old beauty and Michael to reconnect. Yesterday, Dina Lohan went on Today and talked about how Lindsay is a different person now.

As a mother it wasn’t for me to come to tell the world about her problem. Beside revealing her opinion about the reunion during the interview, she also admitted that her daughter is an addict.

On why she refused to come forward with Lindsay’s drug issues in the past, Dina explained, “That was for Lindsay to admit. In the pretaped interview, Prince, 13, says he and his father often walked the beach early in the morning with Coca-Cola and candy. When asked about their time together, MiLo said: “I have pledged not to comment about anything relating to my daughter.” “However, what I will say is that I am an incredibly proud father tonight.

My daughter is progressing extraordinarily well.” Who is this man and what as he done with Michael Lohan?

Lindsay Lohan’ s mother says her daughter’s treatment for addiction at the Betty Ford Clinic is working.

Dina Lohan told Matt Lauer on Monday morning’s Today show that the renowned addiction center in Rancho Mirage, Calif., is “an amazing place” that has really dug into the actress’ problems and brought them to the surface. Troubled actress Lindsay Lohan plans to open her own rehab facilities once she’s completed her drug treatment, according to her mother Dina. The embattled daughter and father reportedly met at the Betty Ford Center in Rancho Mirage, California after 1 P.M. and the site obtained a number of the reunion pictures . A COSTAR’S LOSS Jill Clayburgh is gone but not forgotten. But the stint is working wonders for Lohan and, during an appearance on America’s The Today Show on Monday,  her mum hailed the treatment as a “life-changing” experience for her daughter. Gyllenhaal had no idea the screen legend was battling chronic lymphocytic leukemia while filming. “I think part of her sickness is what made her live her life . . . and really cherish the moments she had and cherish the people she was with,” said Gyllenhaal while promoting the film in New York.
