Lindsay Lohan wants some attention. Because even though she’s “sober” now (and that’s still in question, at least for me), Lindsay is still an unmitigated famewhore. And crack-birds of a feather flock together. So now we know that Lindsay has been dating “handsome Texan football star” Matt Nordgren. I don’t know who he is, but he and Lindsay both want everyone to know that they’re dating now.
Out of rehab and living relatively drama free in New York City, (well, except for Dina Lohan’s DUI) the latest on Lindsay Lohan is decidedly wholesome: she’s dating handsome Texan football star Matt Nordgren.
Lohan first met Nordgren, 30, a former University of Texas football star who played one season with the Philadelphia Eagles, and then starred on the 2011 Bravo reality show Most Eligible Dallas, seven years ago.
While Nordgren has been linked to former The Bachelorette star Vienna Giardi and former The Hills star Audrina Patridge, he’s has been with Lohan of late.
“We’ve hung out,” he recently told Page Six. “But I have been a friend trying to support her for many years now.”
And it seems to be working.
“She’s completely sober now,” he added. “She’s in a great place and working hard and meeting with all the right people.”
It appears that he’s one of them. The Dallas native is a a partner in his family’s energy conservation firm Nordco, Inc. and has been good for her, according to one pal.
“She is very happy and very committed to staying sober,” says the Lohan friend. “He drinks but not irresponsibly and not in front of her. He is close to her whole family.”
Oh, I get it. He played one season and then he became part of an ensemble reality show? Yeah, that sounds about right for Lindsay’s “official” boyfriend. If anything, it sounds a bit too “high class” for her, considering Matt probably has a nice family and he’s probably not a crackhead. I wonder if Matt minds that Lindsay still has some kind of relationship with Vikram Chatwal?
And of course, we also have a funny/sad story about Lindsay being totally OVER her mother’s cracked-out drama. Birds of a crack-feather.
Lindsay Lohan has had her fair share of legal troubles and was released from rehab in July, but her mother Dina‘s recent arrest for drunk driving really has the Mean Girls actress angry, sad and upset, RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned. In fact, while filming for her eight-episode docu-series on OWN earlier this week, and eyewitness tells Radar Lindsay was on the verge of tears over her mother.
“Lindsay’s really pissed about her mother. She even said her mother ‘is a f**kin child and she needs to be supervised,’” a source close to the starlet told Radar. “She looked like she wanted to cry. She said, ‘And you wonder why I can’t take advice from these people,’ referring to her mom and dad.”
Lindsay’s father, Michael, also has rap sheet that runs at least five mug shots deep.
“Lindsay said it’s pretty pathetic when your mom contacts you with an apology for doing the exact same things you’ve done and claims she’s so sorry blah blah blah,” the source continued. “Basically Lindsay thinks her mom is a complete hypocrite.”
As Radar exclusively reported, Lindsay wasn’t exactly surprised by Dina’s arrest and is beginning to realize what a bad influence she is on her sobriety.
“Since being released from rehab, Lindsay has had limited contact with her mother because Dina can be a bad influence on her daughter’s sobriety,” the source said. “Dina will say she is the last person that has a problem with booze, but she does. Lindsay loves her mom, but she is putting herself first, and her recovery, which is a very good thing.”
Lindsay, 27, and her siblings have even begged Dina to enter rehab in an effort to battle her addiction. Prior to Dina’s arrest, a source told Radar, “Lindsay has been worried sick about Dina lately. She knows Dina has been out drinking and she sees how much her own treatment helped her and so she has been begging her mother to go and get help.”
I’ll say it again: ET TU, CRACKEN? If anyone should be in Dina’s corner, it should be Lindsay. Dina has lied, enabled, pimped, lied some more and obstructed justice all for her cracked-out daughter and this is the thanks she gets? Wild animals show more loyalty and family togetherness.

Wow, what an illustrious and exciting dating career he’s had! -snicker-
I don’t care what anyone says, this chick is over. The best she can hope for is the occasional cheap straight to DVD gig or a guest spot mocking herself. I never thought she was an actress. Nothing she has done as an adult was anything other than embarrassing.
Texan Football Star? Really? Playing one season does not a football star make. Someone needs to stop blowing smoke up these peoples asses. Now if you’ll excuse me I have to go make an “appearance” at Target and buy some toliet paper and fabric softener that Im “promoting” at the moment.
That’s some good snarking!
They made it seem like he was an up and coming football star. He played one season years ago…
Not only is he not a football star…he barely even played. He was 3rd or 4th string backup qb.
That is the guy. It was called Dallas Single or something. Thought he looked soft for a football player. No legit athlete would date Lindsay. He also went out with Sonya Morgan or one of the real housewives, so it makes sense now.
😀
I never understood why people say she’s so talented. Anything I’ve seen her in I feel like she’s snickering at the camera, going “I’m *acting*! See me *acting* like this character?”
Yep, she’s done as an actress IMO.
ha ha, he’s a famewhore too. they are perfect for each other. As for the rest, I just wish this family would go away.
While I agree with everything about all of these people, the one thing I don’t understand is the criticism that she’s turned her back on her mom. Everyone has said for years that she needed to cut off both parents for years, for exactly the reasons Kaiser mentions. So when she finally does, you give her flack for it? Of all the things to criticize her about, limiting her relationship w her mom is the smartest thing she’s done in years. Even if she is still an a-hole.
I don’t get the criticism either. If Lindsay is truly serious about staying sober (and I have my doubts like many people) then she needs to put some distance between herself and her mom since Dina is a threat to that sobriety. That is one of the things they tell you in rehab, that you have to disconnect from the bad influences in your life, especially when you are just out of rehab and at your most vulnerable. Sometimes that means distancing from family members as well.
I’ve been sober for 7 years now and had to make those difficult decisions as well. I can’t see this as throwing her mother under the bus – IF Lindsay is serious.
I agree – cutting off her mother is a GOOD thing. She needs to concentrate on herself first before she can help anyone else.
I can understand it. Backing off of a relationship with her mother because she finally realizes what a bad influence/enabler/pimp Dina is makes sense. Throwing Dina under the bus for doing the exact same things (drunk driving and obnoxious entitled behavior) Lindsay has done seems a bit hypocritical.
Agree. Her mother has enabled her daughter for years, and maybe The Cracken is finally waking up to that fact. Dina cares about Dina and the lifestyle her famous daughter was able to give her. I don’t think Lindsay should be criticized for turning her back on her. Did her mother care when her daughter was repeatedly in rehab or court? Did she make an effort to sober up in an effort to help her daughter’s sobriety? Did she stop making excuses for her in an effort to keep the cash cow functioning? No, no and no. This is actually the best move Lindsay has made in a long time. Maybe there is hope yet.
I agree that if Lindsay really has turned her back on Dina, it’s the smartest thing she’s done in years. Michael Lohan is probably the source for this little piece of news and we all know that he has his own sick agenda.
Also, Lindsay hasn’t cut off her other party buddies like Vikram, that Saudi guy and her old roommate. She has been seen out and about with all of them.
I hope Lyndsay continues to throw her mom under the bus – morning, noon, and night. Any “taking care of” Dina has ever done, was to keep the money maker rolling. She would have been better off raised by wolves, and I don’t get the criticism.
ITA, I mean sometimes you have to stepaawayay from those you love to work on yourself first. Lindsay seems to finally be getting it and it just seems like no one wants to give her any credit for trying.
+1000!
I don’t give her shade for not wanting to be around her mother, but I will give her shade for her hypocritical remarks about her.
Yeah she is, but pretty much everyone’s a hypocrite. Its easier to criticize others than to look at ourselves, and it’s easier to express wisdom than to use it. I thinkIf she ever gets it together, she can be an amazing role model, maybe, and an inspiration to other addicts. Who knows?
I think the criticism is about the fact that she’s being a bit mercenary about it – judging from the fact that she hasnt cut out the legion of other enablers, it would appear that she’s shding her mother because it’ll make her look more serious about getting sober, rather than the real thing.
I agree. If she’s ever to get better, she needs to stop playing the family dynamic that Dina and Michael have set up for themselves and their kids. So, hopefully, she really HAS “thrown her mother under the bus” and is trying to move away from that.
I’m super late to this post, but I agree 100%.
While I’m not yet ready to believe Lindsay is truly committed to her recovery, she is absolutely correct to distance herself from Dina. If she is serious about sobriety, she needs to cut out all the enablers and addicts in her life. I applaud her from putting some space between herself and her obviously addicted mother. Just had to post that I don’t get the criticism, either. Keep up the good work, Linds.
Oh my gosh! I watched that reality show with this guy. I can’t remember the name. It was on BRAVO and it was only one season. Single in Dallas?? Something like that. Anyway, this guy is a douche so I’m not surprised he’s with Lindsay. And he seems like a famewhore, so it’s a perfect match.
@ Mandy – I watched it too (ashamed to be admitting that). He acted like he was better than everybody because he played one year in the NFL. Wasnt he dating some young blonde girl at the end of the season?
I don’t even remember! But I do remember that I didn’t like him! 🙂
this guy is a tool. He was a backup at UT. Stats for college: 7 completions for 54 yds. 1 int. 0 tds for 2 yrs. He never played in the NFL. Liars stick together
It was “Most Eligible Dallas” right? I’m a bit embarrassed that I know that haha 🙂
yep, that was it! It was an awful show, I have no idea why i watched it!
Most Eligible Dallas. I’d rather see him with Courtney Kerr than LiLo.
She better not cross Dina because I’m sure Mama Lohan’s got all sorts of material she could sell to the tabloids and would if she felt betrayed.
Anyone who does a reality show that doesn’t involve any skill besides a pathological need to expose onseself is a famewhore. This guy is just using her to further his brand, whatever it is.
On another note, Lindsay needs some cardio to get some tone. Her ‘great body’ was only a byproduct of youth (and Adderall?) but if she wants to keep it, she needs to work.
At least she looks healthy and not skeleton-like. I’m sure she’ll get to the cardio in due time.
I do like your suggestion about Dina… that could be interesting. I could totally see her stooping to that level.
Frankly, Lindsay has NEVER had a ‘great body.’
That guy looks like a playah to me and I’m sure he’s loving the publicity “dating” her is bringing – it’s good for his “career”. I feel sorry for LL tho – I wish she could stay sober and focus on her career. I’m sure they don’t want her dating straight out of rehab………..
Thats a great point. No way her counselors want her dating already even if the guy was Jesus Christ himself. She is just not healed yet.
Her lips look like flubber.
And she needs to wear a bra, too. For someone as young as she is, she looks at least 10-15 years older.
yes my same thought…she doesn’t seems just to have a new boyfriend but also a new pair of lips!
It’s always all about Lindsay, isn’t it. When she gets arrested, everyone needs to come bail her out and make excuses. When Dina gets arrested, Lindsay whines because shouldn’t Dina have been thinking about HER sobriety? Ugh. Dina is getting what she raised.
Agreed. While I want Lindsay to stay far, far away from Dina, at the same time the new-and-improved (???) Lilo needs to learn to keep her mouth shut and quit making everything about herself. The sooner she learns to say “no comment” the sooner I’ll believe she truly wants to change and grow as a person.
IMO,people coming out of rehab are a bit of a mess. They bounce all over the place as they learn for the 1st time how to live a sober life. They have no clue how to do this, no idea how people get up in the morning and make breakfast because they haven’t seen 8 am for a long time, maybe years. So Lilo being stupid now and talking out of turn seems right on schedule.
Normally, I agree with you Kaiser, but not on this. Lindsay owes her mother nothing…she’s never been any kind of a real mother to Lindsay. If Lindsay has any shot at all to stay sober, she has to rid herself of the toxic people in her circle. Just because someone gave birth to you doesn’t mean they are good for you.
Yes, Lake Mom, yes, yes, yes.
Couldn’t agree more. After the damage Dina has done Lindsay as a mother, it’s LONG past time that Lindsay cut off support.
Agreed. Plus LLs reaction to Dina’s arrest is a healthy response. Dina is a bad influence on her sobriety.
Totally agree RMJ and Nick. This is perhaps one of the few healthy decisions that Lindsay has made in years.
Glad I scrolled before posting, because-
^^ This, 100%!!!! ITA!!
You are 100% right, Lake Mom! Lindsay had to be the breadwinner and likely the parent too in that toxic blood bond. The girl was raised by wolves.
Agreed! Lindsay needs to run from her family and not look back. I get that many people think family’s the most important thing, but in some situations it’s better to keep one’s distance.
Agreed. My mom wrecked my credit by using my SSN to buy a car and then got it repossessed when I was 12. She’s been in debt all her life and spent most of it on her abusive boyfriends or drugs. I have a stable job and I refuse to give her money. I know where it’ll go but according to the rest of my family I ‘turned my back on her’. Right.
omg that’s terrible. Stick to your guns. You’re doing the right thing. The others are delusional.
We’ve got some relatives like that. The kind where you only give them gas station gift cards for “gas money” because you know cash will go to drugs.
Totally agree! I have been sober for 17 months and one of the first things I had to learn was to distance myself from triggers and some of those triggers can be people. Lindsey needs to put herself and her sobriety first. If her mother was a good influence, she wouldn’t have been drinking, just my opinion.
Congrats blueb! 17 months is great! I remember when I celebrated my first year of sobriety – I don’t think I’ve ever been prouder of anything in my life except having my daughter.
Good on you!
Yes yes and YES!!
THIS.
This site seems to often (always?) take the position that kids should always be “loyal” to their parents. I don’t know what the source of this is, but it is deeply wrong.
I agree with this 100%!!!!! Lindsay needs to cut Dina out of her life completely! No more partying with her, no more with supporting her financially – it has to stop!
If this holds out – if she actually walks away from her original peer group, including family, and makes meaningful long-term connections with a drug-free group of people – I might actually buy into her attempt at recovery this time. Time will only tell.
Hoping that she does, but to be fair, manipulative people like those in her family and that peer group (and to be fair, probably Lindsay herself) can make it very difficult to do so.
They’re all users, abusers and losers.
I’m gonna take Lindsay’s side on this one since her own screwed up life is due in part to being raised by a drunk self centered lunatic. She has every right to turn her back on Dina.
I LIKE that Lindsay is kicking her deadbeat mom to the curb. That woman continues to be a horrible influence, and of she wants to recover, she shouldn’t be associated with a fifty year old still.getting wasted.
the guy is handsome
stay on the sober path lindsay!!
much luve to our lindsay
hahahaha
OMG, I just now opened this.
Matt Nordgren! Are you kidding me! He starred in a reality show a couple of years ago about singles in Dallas. I find him REPULSIVE, full of himself, and about as SHALLOW as any human being alive. And handsome…not in my book. Perfect match.
He’s using her for publicity.
I remember him from Pre-Season a few years back and everyone was so high on him because VINCE YOUNG GUYS TEXAS PRODUCES WINNERS HOOK ‘EM HORNS WOOOO.
Yeah. About that. Still reminds me that 3.5 years is the average NFL career and not 14, 15 years like a Brady or a Manning. Sad.
Yes, Lindsay is SO over her mother’s shenanigans that the weekend after her DUI arrest they were both at a party together.
Heaux, please.
I disagree.
Lindsey doesn’t owe Dina squat: she’s supported her mother financially, was used by her, and never was parented by Dina.
If the ONE thing rehab may have taught her is to cut off mama then she’s five steps ahead of the game.
Not buying her turning her back on her momma story. And I still don’t believe she is sober. She is just partying under the radar.
I agree with you.
The stuff about LL distancing herself from Dina is right from the blow hole of Michael Lohan. Can’t believe anything that guy says.
ITA!!
Lohan Inc will spit out any story that they think will sell.
I disagree Kaiser, sorry, Lindsay is a sick person (an addict, yes), and yes she has tried and disappointed everyone time and time again, but imagine if she was ur family member for a second, wouldn’t you wish she would actually succeed in recovery?
Even britney at a time I thought she was lost and then she put herself back together (kind of), and is trying to live a normal life with her kids, isn’t Lindsay entitled to the benefit of the doubt?
I don’t know, I heard on the radio the other day someone asking: Do you think Lindsay will be sober 6 months from now? and one of the co-hosts said well, i give her two weeks, and the other one said: well, I think she’ll be dead. (and then they all had a laugh)
WTF? Is this now what we humans are reduced to? wishing that people fail miserably and get back to their usual ways?
I don’t care how many more times Lindsay fails, but at least she’s trying. She’s human and I hope one day she’ll get better, truly. What you say in every lindsay-related post is basically that you are waiting for her to f*ck up.
That’s sad.
Anyway I’m a big fan of the blog, and all, and I usually agree with you guys on most things you post about…
Very well said!
Very well said, I love this site and Kaiser is unlike any other gossip blogger, a feminist, BUT this rooting for Lindsay to fail is getting old. I hope she gets back on track and I think throwing her monster, I mean mother, under the bus is a great thing!
Fantastic post, and I agree with every point. I feel the same way.
Dina pimped out Lindsay shamelessly, lived vicariously through her and treated her like a partying buddy, not a daughter. She did not ground her morally or mentally, just used her as her own personal ATM machine and drinking/drugging partner. If Lindsay is to remain sober she has to stay away from Dina and I’m sure her sober coaches have drummed that into her head during rehab. So I must disagree and hope that she stays far far away from that woman.
Is it me or does her boyfriend look old? He has like grey hair in that second picture. Or is it the lighting? I doubt Lindsay is ditching Dina.
Lindsay should not be in Dina’s corner. Lindsay should be as far away from both her parents as possible. The fact that she seems to be trying to distance herself from her mother actually gives me a tiny bit of hope for Lindsay’s sobriety.
Her mother not only enables Lindsay’s addictions; she pimped her out her whole life. Why in the heck should Lindsay be loyal? That would be the worst thing possible. Staying close to your parents is often exactly what you should not do. Lindsay’s parents are an extreme case of this.
Lindsay Lohan should throw her parents under a bus early and often. It is her only chance.
She is only ‘trying’ because she was faced with either jail or rehab, and chose rehab where she could keep those wooly,
flea-ridden extensions. However, if – and thre isn’t font large enough for that ‘if’ – something in rehab actually sunk into her arrogant, narcissistic brain, and she is actually intending to live a sober life, then that’s great. I’m saying that not because I think she’s talented or worth anyone’s attention – I’m saying it because I don’t want her to kill people while driving DUI/DWI/snorting/huffing etc.
I’m confused; is it supposed to be the same guy in both of those photos?
There is nothing worse than a former addict (cough cough Blohan) who suddenly becomes judgmental of others who need help. It seems old Blohan has forgotten that she was (and most likely still is) a crackwhore who also wouldn’t listen to people who told her she needed serious help.
Because of celebrities rehab just seems like a cop-out to me. What happened to having some self-control and strength of character? Why do you have to go live at a spa ?
Well It’s easy for you to say “what happened to self control”, you clearly have no idea what it’s like to be an addict.
Being addicted to something means ur body “needs” the stuff, like you need water and food to survive. You have to teach your body that it doesn’t need that stuff, and no not everyone has a strong will and the right people around them to help them.
So… i don’t know!!
I don’t understand your slam on Lindsey. If she wants to remain sober right now, she has to stay away from the bad influences and the enablers. Her mother is both. By staying away while her mother is drinking heavily, she is doing what is best for both herself and her mother. Maybe Dina will get help too if her family does not want to be around her.
Sounds like to me that, a has been loser has hooked up with another has been loser in a fleeting attempt to hold on to the past glory of along dead career.
Now, you can fill in the names of which loser is who.
Crack birds? Seriously, I just ruined a perfectly clean shirt. Brilliant!!
I almost suspect that Lindsay and Matt Nordgren are not so much dating as using each other for their own ends. Lindsay has a “docu-reality” series in need of some drama that a dating relationship might bring as well as he might be a possible beard and he is no doubt looking to get his name in the papers for a reality series of his own. The fact that this has been trumpeted in every tabloid and gossip blog makes me think this is nothing more than a business relationship.
Lindsay always has these “boyfriends” but they never ever come of anything. There is a report or she is spotted with them a few times and then we never see them again. i have come to the conclusion that a lot of it is just to keep her and their names in the press. I have never ever seen any of the men she supposedly date look like she is in a real relationship. Also the guy looks sleazy and is a reality star so that bodes well…
As for dina, i dont know how she can throw her mom under the bus for doing exactly what she did several times herself. If anyone should understand it should be lindsay.
Wonder how long they are going to pay him to be the “boyfriend”…..clicking all the right checks he’s single….white….so call football play (sport stars are the in thing for boyfriends now) rich or his family is….and Schzammmmmmm ! she the new America’s sweetheart and her football player boy friend… shades of Jessica and Gizelle and several others with their football player boyfriends ….LOL
You know how she like to be in on what trendy…….
Lohan has made her own bad choices, not all the fault of her dysfunctional parents. She continues to choose badly and act out as a way of life or a way to gain attention. Not everything is the fault of her parents, although I have no doubt they did not set good examples.
