Dina Lohan has four children with her ex husband. Her eldest daughter Lindsay has been in rehab three times without success, has two drunk driving arrests, multiple car accidents, is facing several different lawsuits and is alleged to have stolen items from friends and acquaintances. Lindsay is all of 21 years old.

Dina Lohan's other kids include singer Ali, 14, who says she wants to be just like Lindsay. Ali appears with her mom on an upcoming reality show on E! to air at the end of this month.

Dina has made a lot of excuses for her daughter Lindsay's behavior, saying that a lot of it is due to the environment she's in and that "she's from an addictive personality genetically."

Both Ali Lohan and Lindsay Lohan were signed with the Ford modeling agency at the age of three. Dina says in general "I was in the business, and I'm going to help them. You don't like that? I'm living the American dream." Maybe you can assume that applies to toddlers modeling as well.

As for how Dina was in "the business," she claims to have been a Rockette and to have done work on Broadway, but unless she was on the stage crew none of those claims are true. She was found to have fabricated most all of her show business past.

So it's amusing and probably a publicity ploy on the organization's part that a Long Island mother's association, "Mingling Moms" has declared Dina Lohan one of the top 20 mothers on Long Island. Of course, the same group -- Mingling Moms -- also gave Jennifer Lopez an award for being a great mom, and she hasn't been a mom for three months.
