Lindsay Lohan Banned From Mama Dina's Reality Show

Lindsay Lohan’s ever-so-thoughtful mother Dina has banned her daughter from appearing on upcoming TV reality show Living Lohan, believing it will damage her career.

The eight-part series will follow the 45-year old manager as she tries to break her other two children, 14-year old Ali and 11-year old Cody, into the fame game.

However, those hoping to catch a glimpse of the original star Lohan sibling needn’t bother tuning in. Dina has banned her from appearing.

She says: "I told Lindsay I don't want her on the show right now. Doing reality TV would almost be taking a step backward as far as her career."

Lindsay's father, Michael Lohan, has previously warned the Mean Girls star to stay away from her mother's reality show, fearing Dina would use the 21-year-old to further her own career in the entertainment industry.

But Lohan's mother insists her intentions are genuine: "I did this to defuse the rumours about my family. The media has just been so horrific to us over the past two years. I just want to get the message across that we are a normal family."

The new reality show will premiere in the U.S. this weekend.
