aligned with her legal and management team in an effort to get the
embattled starlet to go to rehab,Y! News is exclusively reporting.
"It's apparent Michael continues to be very focused on getting
publicity for himself. Lindsay's team is in no way aligned with him or
his actions," Lohan's rep, Steve Honig, tells source.
As we previously reported, several of Lindsay's friends have confirmed
that the Liz & Dick star is partying and out of control as her father
Michael attempts to put the star under a conservatorship.
"People who party with Lindsay have confirmed her excessive partying
and getting wasted," one source in Los Angeles told Radar. "They act
one way to her face, but have been telling different stories behind
her back.
Meanwhile, the family war between Lindsay's parents continues to rage
with Lindsay and their other children caught in the middle.
The war between Michael and Dina has been ongoing, but a source in Los
Angeles confirms to Radar that Michael does not want control of
Lindsay's money.
Counters another source, "Michael may have the best intentions towards
his daughter, but it's going to be virtually impossible for any judge
to sign off on a conservatorship because Lindsay doesn't meet the
criteria for it at this point. Lindsay is able to take care of
herself, and doesn't appear to be suffering from any serious mental
health issues.
Even if Lindsay is doing drugs and drinking, as her father contends,
that isn't enough for a conservatorship. It would be much better if
Michael took actions out of the glare of the media to stop the
constant chaos."
