The Lohan’s are a far cry from a normal suburban family (despite what Dina Lohan said during her appearance on The View yesterday) but the new reality TV series “Living Lohan” sure tries to depict the family as one.

And while Dina tries her best to convince America that she’s not as big of an attention whore as her eldest daughter Lindsay, all the editing in the world can’t hide her true colors.

Reality or not, the show seems scripted. The family is clearly aware that there are cameras on them at all times and are obviously playing up their act accordingly.

Even Dina’s ex-husband Michael Lohan thinks the show is a sham.

Michael released the following statement after watching the premiere of Living Lohan this week:

“If I were to look at things from a worldly perspective, I would probably have a lot to say about exploitation, hypocrisy and even deception.

“For now, let’s just say I'm still trying to figure out if this show is about managing Ali's career and being a “real” mother.”

We’re trying to figure that out too!

Who knew Michael Lohan (the ex-jailbird) would actually be speaking more sensibly than Lindsay’s so-called mom?

Do you think Dina Lohan is sincerely trying to help her daughter, Ali’s career or is she using her daughter to further her own career in the entertainment industry?
