Dina Lohan, Mother of the Year?
May 06, 2008 11:30 AM
So what if she raised a girl who racked up two DUI arrests and three rehab stints before her 22nd birthday? Dina Lohan's still a "Top Mom."
The Mingling Moms Organization, a charity based in the Lohans' native Long Island, N.Y., will honor the woman who bore and bred Lindsay as a "Top Mom" tonight along with fellow celebrity moms Rae Stern (Howard Stern), Betty Seinfeld (Jerry Seinfeld) and Shelley Stevens Herschlag (Natalie Portman).
According to Mingling Moms president Erica Logiudice, Dina and the rest of the honorees are being recognized for their "behind-the-scenes" contributions to their children's "tremendous careers."
While some might wonder why the mother of one of Hollywood's most notorious starlets is deserving of a parenting award, Logiudice defended Mingling Moms' decision.
"It's not all Dina's fault. It's not always the mom's fault when the child goes awry," Logiudice told ABCNEWS.com, pointing out that Dina was busy with a bitter divorce while her daughter was running her Mercedes Benz into trees and maybe snorting cocaine. "She's been with Lindsay through her ups and downs. She is a mom, she raised a major celebrity out of Long Island, and we're proud."
Dina, 45, plans to attend a dinner tonight to accept her award, but Lindsay, 21, won't be by her side. She's busy shooting a guest spot on an upcoming episode of "Ugly Betty" … and presumably, trying to make her mom and the rest of Long Island proud.

Shame on this group....this women is an embarrassment to all hard working mothers. Mothers that go with out so their children can have the best. Mothers who are working 3 jobs to pay the bills and put their kids through college. Not running around partying with their children. Shame on Mingling Moms. Who would donate to anything they are working on. What a joke.

augustina: Lindsey was NOT 18 when she started drinking and drugging. She was spotted doing these things much younger but her mom decided to turn a blind eye to it because she was afraid of being cut off from her daughter's millions when she turned 18. God Forbid she would have to go out and get a real job! She is going to turn her younger daughter into the same train wreck that Lindsey became.

Just goes to show the world even if your children turn out to be trashy, in rehab and wild, you can always fool someone into giving you an award.... makes me laugh.

The Fact Of the matter is, this whole award is a sham/publicity stunt. Rae Stern TURNED DOWN the invite, but they still put her name out there.

What I find interesting is that this spokeswoman claims Dina is not responsible for Lindsey's screw-ups ("It's not always the mom's fault when the child goes awry") but they still want to give her all the credit for Lindsey's successes. How convenient.

Lindsey turned out just like mom....a trashy selfish whore.

I'd do Lindsay. Not her mom. Wait...I'd do anyone. But we won't have sex. Just oral copulation.
