Michael Lohan sort-of acknowledges Lindsay’s gay; takes it back

Michael Lohan sure is managing to steal a lot of attention away from Dina, especially considering this week is the premiere of her new crap-ass show Living Lohan. The Lohans have a very Charlie Sheen/Denise Richards relationship. You’re constantly trying to figure out who you hate more, and who’s the bigger liar. Although to Dina Lohan’s credit, I’ve never heard any insinuations that she used to be a prostitute. Oops.

Dina is all over the talk shows this week, trying to pimp her new show/defend her parental pimping. It’s not going so well. While you could argue that any publicity is good publicity, that’s not really the case when Dina Lohan touches something. Dina has furiously been denying that daughter Lindsay and Samantha Ronson are anything other than really good friends, despite their constant lip locks. However Michael was a little more realistic – at least for about eight minutes – and told Us Weekly that it’s obvious the two are in a relationship.

Michael Lohan isn’t playing dumb when it comes to his daughter Lindsay’s close relationship with deejay Samantha Ronson. Days after photos of them nuzzling necks in Cannes, France, surfaced, he tells Usmagazine.com in an e-mail their relationship “is evident to anyone with half a brain.”

Still, he adds, “Just like the [topless] Marilyn Monroe spread, Linds is my daughter and there are just some things a father doesn’t want to see or hear, regardless of whether they are true or false.” His daughter, 21, “is a big girl, and she can make her own life choices. Then it is between her and God.”

Michael — who volunteers for a Christian-based rehab organization — couldn’t help but take a swipe at his ex Dina (who just debuted her new E! reality show). “Maybe her mother’s life revolves around the tabloids and reports, but mine doesn’t,” Michael says. “I am into setting a good example and doing good things that don’t deceive or exploit my kids.

[From Us Weekly]

I think I’d be able to take what Michael Lohan says a little more seriously if he’d stop promoting how wonderful he is. If he just responded without sounding like he’s trying to sell himself, I might not want to slap him quite so hard.

Us Weekly and OK magazine are in some kind of feud. OK is reporting not just that Michael never made those comments, but that Us made them up, “In a desperate attempt to gain readers.” Oooohhh, snap OK. They claim to have a real interview with Michael, in which he denies ever acknowledging Lindsay’s gaiety. Yes I used that word that way on purpose. I’ve decided that’s how we describe Lindsay’s convenient level of gayness.

“I never said anything like this,” Michael explains. “I’ve never even looked at the pictures of Linds and Sam, so how can I comment on this?”

Referring to his daughter’s recent revealing pictorial in New York Magazine, he continues, “Just like the Marilyn Monroe pics, I’ve never looked at these photos either. This is just another way of some evil person spreading a vicious rumor to try to hurt my relationship with my daughter Lindsay.”

[From OK]

That’s coincidental, since Michael (or someone posing as Michael) referenced the Marilyn Monroe pictures in the Us Weekly article. I don’t see how admitting his daughter is in a lesbian relationship would hurt his own relationship with Lindsay. Considering how self-righteous her father is, it might relieve her that she could talk openly and honestly with him about it. It’s clear to everyone with eyes that Lindsay and Samantha are in a relationship. And frankly it might be one of the better decisions Lindsay’s made in a while.

Here’s Lindsay and Samantha carrying groceries back to Samantha’s house in Los Angeles on May 16th. Images thanks to WENN.

    I don’t care one way or the other if LL is gay or not. It seems like she is doing all of this more for PR than her actual feelings for Samantha. But if they are happy together, so be it.

    Isn’t it about time for her to resume her spot at the beach?

  2. ER says:

    If anything she’s bisexual. This week it’s SR, next week who knows. She’s been linked to a trail of male celebs as well.

  3. AC says:

    why does lindsay have to ” BE GAY ” or “COME OUT” she’s obviously not a lesbian as she’s been in love with men before. If she were to come out now and then eventually get into a relationship with a man again then everyone would be all “oh look whos straight again” blah blah blah. She’s in a lesbian relationship for now… that doesn’t mean she’s GAY. I hate all these black and white labels. She obviously feels safer with her female partner right now as being with men hasn’t worked out so well. Maybe she’ll stay in that relationship for ever or maybe not… i don’t think she should come out one way or the other. But denying she’s currently in a lesbian relationship is silly.

  4. vdantev says:

    This is just an opinion based on personal experiences, not a statement of fact: There are no bisexuals, just selfish empty people who have to have it all. Most of the people I’ve met who claimed to be bi were walking talking personality black holes constantly pulling everything around them into themselves and never ever satisfied. Thus it is with Lindsay Lohan.

  5. Ron says:

    Even if “everyone” knows, there is no obligation for a celebrity to come out. Everyone knows Jody is gay but it has not been publicly acknowlegded becasue then it seems to be all you are ever asked about and it eclipses your work. As an actor, I would never want my personal life to eclipse my work. Maybe, Lindsay has learned a thing or two in the past few months. Let’s hope so.

  6. CB Rawks says:

    “There are no bisexuals, just selfish empty people who have to have it all.”

    That’s a weird thing to say, as it sort of implies that the rest of us are being really brave and selfless by settling on just one gender. 🙂

    Most bisexuals would probably say that people’s personalities are attractive to them, and the gender doesn’t matter. At least, that’s what I’ve been told.

  7. amy says:

    while i appreciate that you mention that your claim that “there are no bisexuals” is based merely on personal experience, it is none the less offensive.

    being bisexual doesn’t mean you’re attracted to everything that moves. on the contrary, i find myself attracted to far fewer people than my purely straight or gay friends. (which is strictly just a me thing, i know)

    besides, i believe that sexuality is a gradient and is often fluid. i honestly don’t believe that many, if any, people are 100% straight/gay. this is why labels are so counter-productive.

    this illustrates the exact problems that bisexual men and women are faced with, often being excluded from both the straight world and the queer world. i could easily pretend to be completed queer since i’m more often attracted to women, but that would be dishonest since it is not completely unheard of for me to be with a man.

    anyways, sorry for the personal rant. but this is an issue that constantly goes unheard.

    as for lindsay, it’s entirely possible she’s bisexual, and it’s also entirely possible she identifies as a straight woman in a lesbian relationship (although from the info i’ve heard, this is not her first such relationship). anyways, we may never know. but either way, i’m glad she and sam are finally getting more comfortable publicly.

  8. vdantev says:

    So it’s now offensive to have to make a choice and adhere to it instead of wavering hither and yon like small tree in a strong wind. Interesting.

  9. StinkySol says:

    I’m almost entirely indifferent to everything LL does … but her smile in these pictures looks genuine and, while she may have a whale of a sense of self-entitlement, who doesn’t deserve to smile like that sometimes?

  10. DD says:

    vdantev – you seem to have a real problem with bisexuals. It sounds like you were dumped by one. Is that it? Your argument is stupid and you sound ignorant.

  11. DD says:

    if she’s bi good for her, why should she have to choose what gender she’s attracted to? So she doesn’t offend the likes of vdantev?

  12. elisa says:

    She actually looks…gasp…HEALTHY in these pics! And is going back to the red!

    If this is what dating Samantha Ronson gets you, Linds, I don’t care if you want to date guys, girls, or anything in between. It’s really none of our business anyways.

  13. Ashley says:

    So stupid.

  14. Ashley says:

    Maybe they’re just really good friends that like to stir up the pot and create small gossip controversey? Cant’ any of you see that? Why have a discussion about them at all. They are worthless. Gay or straight who gives a F***
    Samantha Ronson is most likely gay, but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t enjoy the publicity that comes with hanging around Lindsay pretending they are couple. It’s a game to them. They’re publicty whores. Would you expect anything less from them? I actually didn’t want to comment on Hohan at all for those very reasons. Maybe I’m just smarter than most people who read celebrity gossip.

  15. Hollz says:

    As a bisexual friend of mine put it
    “girls are fun to kiss, guys are fun to fuck”
    Ok, so she used more detail, and a few things about boobs.

    I actually have the complete opposite view of vdantev, believing there is no “gay” or “straight” but degrees of bisexuality.

  16. amy says:

    vdantev:
    i never once claimed that your sexuality was offensive; i merely claimed that your denouncement of my own was offensive.

    regardless, thanks to everyone else who has commented here thus far. and congrats to lindsay and sam on a relationship that seems to make them both happy.

  17. Ashley says:

    At least she’s not wearing those stupid leggings anymore. It seems like ever since she promoted her line of leggings she finally started wearing other clothes.

    You’ve now commented 3 times.

  19. Ashley says:

    There is more than one person named Ashley commenting on this. This is now just my third time, and I’m only commenting this time to prove to you that I only commented once. The comment about her stupid leggings was not me. The first time was a mistake/accident.) That’s why it was so short. Ask CB( they can prove it (since they like to track IP adresses of people who post here.

  20. yo folks i can’t wait 4 the expendables the movie to come out! It’s going to be awesome!

  21. lola says:

    Lindsay definitely needs a friend. What she doesn’t need is an inconsistant relationship to put her over the edge. This relationship (from what I’ve read.) doesn’t appear to be consistant. It’s off and on whatever it is.

  22. Wade Selover says:

    Hi there, You’ve done an incredible job. I will certainly digg it and for my part suggest to my friends. I’m confident they will be benefited from this site.

  23. Hello! This post could not be written any better! Reading through this post reminds me of my previous room mate! He always kept talking about this. I will forward this page to him. Fairly certain he will have a good read. Many thanks for sharing!
