Lindsay Lohan’s mom Dina, who once was rumored to have received manual stimulation under the table at a restaurant, who lied about her nonexistent past as a Rockette, and who also owed up to telling George Clooney she was Lindsay’s assistant instead of admitting to be her mom, sure takes the high road when it comes to her daughter. She is said to have called up the mother of Lindsay’s ex boyfriend, snowboarder Riley Giles, and to have chewed her out in response to a tell-all interview Riley gave British paper News of The World after Lindsay unceremoniously dumped him upon returning to LA from rehab in Utah. How did Dina insult Riley’s mom? She called her a bad mom. I wonder if it was all filmed for her reality show in which she’s shown exploiting her other two children.

Lindsay’s recent ex, Riley Giles, sold the story of their relationship to Britain’s News of the World on Dec. 23 for a rumored $120,000. That so steamed Dina that she got on the phone to his mom, reports Us Weekly.

“Dina insulted her parenting,” says a source.

Ouch!

And the Daily News has more evidence today that little Lindsay is scrapping for cash. They say she is predictably getting paid around $50k for toting around the tobacco cessation product Arriva, although both Lindsay and the company deny that any money has changed hands. She’s also supposedly begging her friends for money again. Along with being seen looking cuddly with three different men in Italy in a 24 hour period, she was also observed toting a Prada shopping bag. I wonder where all her money is going? Maybe a reality show is next on her agenda, too. It’s slightly less demeaning than whoring yourself out for money, although that seems to be easier for Lindsay than doing any real work as an “actress.”

Along with being honored for her “contribution to film,” at the film festival or “a way to bring tourism to our small town” in Capri, Italy, she was also named the worst actress of the year in a poll by AOL Moviefone for her performance in I Know Who Killed Me, and her other film this year, Georgia Rule was runner-up for waste of money for a movie ticket. The Razzie nominations haven’t even been announced yet this year. Keep begging Lindsay, and maybe you better hold on to those purses a little longer before you buy new ones.
