Lindsay Lohan has skipped her grandfather’s wake, going shopping with Samantha Ronson instead.
Lindsay’s father Michael is feuding with her after he called her girlfriend Samantha Ronson a ‘parasite’ who is using Lindsay to further her career.
The irony was not lost on Lindsay, who told Access Hollywood that her father saying he was ‘out of control’ and needs to stop speaking out in the media about her friends and family.
Samantha Ronson also hit back on her blog saying that Michael Lohan is ‘desperate for attention’.
Michael Lohan declared that Dina would be the one keeping Lindsay from her grandfather’s funeral and wake, but Lindsay’s public shopping spree probably suggests that she made up her own mind about going to her grandfather’s wake, and getting her picture taken elsewhere while it was on. She could have just stayed quietly at home. Michael originally said:
Michael told America’s OK! magazine: “My father just, literally, died in my arms. I notified all my kids and my lawyer notified my ex-wife Dina’s attorney. Let’s see if she has the decency and respect to bring my kids to the wake and funeral.
“THIS will show her true colours! Thus, not even a call. But that’s par for the course with Dina! She didn’t even send a card or visit when he was sick.”
I think this says a lot more about Michaels ‘true colors’ than anyone else’s. How much does your family dislike your media whore personality that they won’t even come and pay respects to the dead? The family must really be at odds to be miss a funeral, it makes many divorces look tame by comparison.
Lindsay Lohan is shown on 8/31/08, the day of her grandfather’s funeral, out shopping with a male friend in NY City’s Soho neighborhood.

My god she needs to waer a bra! I guess she is just gonna have her tatas rearranged when they hit the ground.
The entire Lohan family are total media whores. Every last on e of them
-
I read that headline as ‘Lindsay Lohan skips father’s funeral’ and for one small moment, the sun came out.
-
I’m not a Lindsay fan by any stretch, but she definitely made the right decision. If her lout of a father really cared about his family — including his own dad, whose death Michael’s using for his own fame mongering purposes — he’d keep this entire matter private. Even Dina seems like a saint compared to this shithead, and that’s quite a feat.

Nothing says “family” likes bitchy quotes to OK! magazine.

Kaiser: LOL!! You nailed the whole family perfectly!
Well, who could blame Lindsay? It was so obvious that Michael “the sleaze” Lohan was using his father’s funeral as a publicity stunt. Disgusting.
I wonder what he planned to do if Lindsay DID show up? Stage a big huggy-kissy reunion for the cameras? Pose her with his same-age fiancee? Write a nice article for OK! magazine detailing how he tried to guide her into decency and righteousness, and she (ungrateful spawn) did not listen??
Maybe by now the negative backlash towards Michael Lohan’s media antics will be convincing him to keep his mouth shut (at least for a while). -
Am I the only person in the world that sees this as disrespectful of her grandfather? Who thinks that, even if you want to skip the funeral, it might have been nicer to have stayed home out of sight during the short time it was occurring?
-
No you’re not, syko. That’s what a normal person in similar circumstances might have done. Lohans? Other rules apply.
-
What a brat she is, NOT for avoiding her father but for not paying respect to her grandpa. Shame, shame, shame on her. I’ve been in her same situation, but I went to the funeral. Deceased people oughta be respected!!!!
-
Agreed, Syko & Geronimo.
-
My Dad neglected to inform my sister and I of our Grandmother’s death. Does this mean my Dad is worse than Michael Lohan?
-
Megan, very few dads are worse than Michael Lohan.
-
I think she did the right thing. Which is more respectful? Letting the funeral be dignified and a proper place for the family to say goodbye or turning it into a media circus and photo opp for the attention-whoring Michael, denying the other members of the family their right to grieve in private?
Not only that, but I wouldn’t allow that man to manipulate me via the media either, if I were her. I could see her attending if he had called her up and invited her but to make the comments that he did and expect her to show were beyond belief.
-
Right on, dovesgate.
I don’t think it’s disrespectful to not attend a funeral when the obituary was announced in OK! magazine. (Well, not the actual obit - you know what I’m saying.)Besides, if Lindsey’s grandpa is in anyway cognizant of this earthly realm, I’m sure he understands the circumstances and appreciates her and her family’s private reflection and respect. And if he isn’t cognizant, what does it matter?
-
We dont know what her realionship with her Grandfather was like. She may not have gotten along with him,if he was anything like his son, who could blame her for staying away from the media circus it would have turned into had she gone.
-
I’ve got no problem at all with her skipping the funeral, that probably avoided a media circus. It’s just the giggling, giddy shopping spree at the time that’s disrespectful. Some people (maybe 10 or 12) still see her as a role model.
-
for once, i actually agree with syko and geronimo. she should have stayed out of sight during this short period of time
-
Disrespectful bitch..I’m just sayin…
-
Usually a sad event like a funeral allows people to put past issues aside and realize what is really important, sad she’s not mature enough to see that.
