You really have to ask yourself what kind of man goes after his daughter’s partner publicly?  In an email to X-17 online Michael Lohan says of Samantha Ronson:

“I don’t believe that the recent blogs posted by ‘Lindsay’ were written by her” and touted, “There is a lot more to Samantha than meets the eye. Not that what we see is so pleasing anyway . . . what’s with this ‘person?’ Look at the way she ‘dresses.’   “Once more, she uses her middle finger more than she uses words. Have you ever seen her apartment? For God’s sake, when she runs out of toilet paper she tells people to use the cardboard roll. (I was told this firsthand).”

He’s such a gentleman, no?

And in response, Lindsay Lohan’s rep released this statement (from Lindsay) to PageSix:

“My father obviously needs to be on medication to control his moods. He is out of line and his words show how much anger he has, and it’s dangerous and scary as it reminds me of how he treated my mother and I my whole childhood. He needs to be stopped. This is yet another reason why we aren’t speaking.

“I am in a great place in life,” Lindsay continued. “I have overcome a lot and have been able to learn how to enjoy and appreciate my life in every way possible. I’m proud of myself for being able to make a change in the past year and a half.

“My past is behind me, and that’s final. There’s nothing more to be said. All the false accusations that people try to make are simply because there’s no story when things are calm and good.

“But they might as well let it go because their lies don’t affect me anymore. Samantha is not evil, I care for her very much and she’s a wonderful girl.  “She loves me, as I do her.”

It’s a shame a young girl has to defend herself constantly from the press, but worse, from her father.  What his fiance should realize is this:  if he’s willing to publcily attatck his own daughter, what will happen if things go sour for you two?  And why would you want to marry a man who does this in the first place?

The lovely Diane Lane and Richard Gere attended the New York screening of their film Nights in Rodanthe.  The plot according to imdb:  A doctor (Gere) who is traveling to see his estranged son sparks with an unhappily married woman (Lane) at a North Carolina inn.  Its release date is September 26, 2008.

Also at the premiere:  Harry Connick Jr. and his wife Jill, Ice T and his wife Coco, Gere’s wife cary Lowell and Viola Davis.

I think the smoochy, kissy, kissy picture of Richard Gere and his wife is nice and all.  She obviously has forgiven him for fawning all over that Bollywood actress a couple of years ago in which people wanted to behead him for.  If my husband did that, first of all I’d wonder how the hell he knows a Bollywood actress (like is he living a double life as a Bollywood actor or something? and really how did I mis THAT) but then I’d feel less guilty about stalking the likes of Kiefer, Viggo, etc.  Who’s kidding who?  I don’t feel guilt bout it now.  Tee hee.
