Celebrity parents are out of control.  Joe Simpson inks Jessica to any cheesy movie deal he can muster before her looks completely jump the shark. Lynne Spears daughter got knocked up at 16, and the other one “appears” for any bizarre reason in convenience stores or Starbucks always looking unwashed and unkempt.  Then there is Michael Lohan, the user and abuser who did his time in the pokey, and now has Jesus and career caveats working for his little Lindsay.

In “Extra’s” exclusive interview with Michael Lohan, he comments on the Spears’ family saga.

Lohan says, “People just don’t realize what it’s like to live under the whirlwind that families like mine and the Spears and other families out there are caught up in. It takes a lot to hold it together.” But he does offer some words of wisdom, saying “Stand together. Stand by each other and don’t let anyone come between you.”

Papa Lohan also clears up the new rumor that Lindsay is dating “Entourage” star Adrian Grenier, saying, “He’s a friend. She went over there for dinner one night over the holidays for an hour or so. They drank water and she went home.”

When asked how Lindsay is doing, Lohan responds, “She’s doing amazingly well.”
