Lindsay Lohan was greeted yesterday by her father Michael Lohan who was carrying a gift of jewelry for her. Although it appears Lindsay is yelling at her father, she was merely showing him her teeth.

A while back she got her wisdom teeth worked on and she wanted to show dad.

Lindsay and Michael took in a movie together and afterward, he talked to the press about her. If you’ll recall, Mike gave a statement, saying that there would be no further statements?!? Yeah, we’re not surprised, either.

He said, “I want to make a public statement that I will not be commenting on ANYTHING relating to my daughter Lindsay, or ANYTHING my ex wife Dina, or any ’sources’ related to her, might say.”

In an interview with “OK!” magazine, Mike goes back on his word and has an entire conversation with a reporter about his day with Lindsay. He lied….unless, of course, he thought that conversation was going to remain between the two of them? Nooo, he can’t be that stupid….or can he?

Per OK!’s article:

You just got to see Lindsay after wanting to see her for a long time. What’s going through your mind right now?
I’m looking forward to seeing her again.

So do you plan on seeing her again?
(Nods like he plans on it, but won’t verbally confirm)

Why is it so hard to maintain a relationship with Lindsay?
The only problem is when you are in the public eye like we are, the entire relationship is under scrutiny so it’s hard. It’s harder for her.

What do you think Lindsay is going through in her mind right now? Was she happy to see you?
I know for a fact she’s focusing on herself. I see it more now than ever.

What do you think, as her dad, she needs to do to get to the right place?
Just think back to where it all started and it all began. She’s gifted.

What’s holding her back?
I think it’s just this business in general. They care more about themselves than the people around. People in this business can be very selfish. This is not about Lindsay because she’s a very unselfish person. As a matter of fact she’s a very giving person. But some other people don’t care what level they take someone down to.

So other people are taking her down. Why do people want to vilify Lindsay? Why do people judge her and not people who might be doing the same thing or having the same struggles?
She’s at the top. When you are at the top they want to bring them down.

What is it going to take for her to stay at the top?
Just being herself. Staying on the track she is now and focusing on being Lindsay. That’s it.

What do you think about the way she was brought being in the spotlight? Is that still part of the problem? Or is she over that?
It’s always a problem if you don’t deal with it the right way. This is not only about Lindsay. It’s about anyone in the spotlight. It’s harder. You are scrutinized more. You know there’s a lot more. A lot more people want to get in your life. It’s unfortunate but you have to be able to cut those people out. Say to yourself I don’t want those people.

What should she do next?
Focus on herself.

Lindsay spends long periods of time not talking to you. Why is that? Why not talk to you, then talk to you now?
I think divorce had a lot to do with it. It’s a very horrible thing but it happens at times.

Is Dina being realistic about Lindsay?
All I can say is I hope Dina means everything she says.

What are the next steps for you in this relationship?
Continue to be the person I am. I’ll never back down. I’ll never stop loving my kids.

He needs to give it up already. If she catches wind of this, she’ll probably ban him from visiting her. What do you think?
