Lindsay Lohan responded to her father’s threats to more or less kidnap her by reportedly requesting a restraining order against him.

It all started when Lindsay Lohan made headlines for being reprimanded by the courts for not completing her alcohol awareness courses. Michael Lohan decided he was going to try to get his daughter in line.

“I’m going to see the judge this week – I can’t believe they didn’t drug test Lindsay when she went into court. If I can’t get a conservatorship, then I’m going to take her to an undisclosed location and get her straight. But I know I’m gonna get charged w/ kidnapping. Lindsay doesn’t even know; she thinks she’s herself but with all these prescription drugs and other stuff,” Michael Lohan said according to Perez Hilton.

Now Lindsay Lohan is saying she is scared of her father and wants to request a restraining order, according to People.com.

For the second time in three months, Lindsay Lohan’s Hollywood home was robbed, according to E! Online. Perhaps she could consider locking all her doors.

Early Sunday morning, three burglars gained access to Lohan’s property and entered her home through an unlocked door. Once inside, they apparently ransacked the house but didn’t nick her more expensive goods. Instead, Lohan posted on Twitter they stole only items of personal value – “just things that a certain old friend knew meant a lot to me,” Lohan Tweeted.

We are all familiar with this pandemic. We complain, gripe and moan about these starlets every move, but never admit that we revel in watching them struggle. We love them for their inability to maintain a clean slate, and in contrast, their remarkable ability to infiltrate our daily conversations.

5) Angelina Jolie

Why do females hate Angelina Jolie? There is one reason: jealousy. Not only did she steal Brad Pitt from his “golden marriage,” she also happens to be one of the most beautiful women in the world and has the nerve to be  happy with her ever-increasing family. Why do males hate Angelina Jolie? Because they can’t have her.

Music artists and movie stars never fail to entertain me (however, I do get easily amused). Whether I laugh with them (or, in most cases, at them) or actually pity their heartaches and failures (which doesn’t happen often)—I always look forward to the next celebrity hook-up/screw-up.

And the month of April did not disappoint. Here are the five best and worst moments in pop culture that made me grateful that such somewhat petty life moments in my life aren’t publicized for the world:

BEST:

5) Pink Reunites with H(e)art:

One can’t help but assume the following:

a) Pink’s estranged husband Carey Hart decided to give his relationship another try after watching the boyfriend/husband torturing, knee-breaking video his wife created for her single ‘Please Don’t Leave Me.’

Or

b) Pink and Carey realized that they are meant to be with one another, at least for another year.

Either way, I’m happy.

Granted, parenthood is complex.  Children need unconditional love, stability and guidance. 

When parents fail to provide any of those needs, you end up with the childhood version of Drew Barrymore.

Based on the number of celebs who have entered rehab in recent years, it’s obvious that more than a handful have some loose screws. While many blame a star’s inability to adjust to a lifestyle of fame and fortune for their problems, perhaps more responsibility should be placed on those who have raised them.

Before you leave me a 500-word thrashing on how I must not understand the difficulties of parenthood, realize that I am not claiming that any parent of a celebrity is a horrible person—just someone in vital need of re-evaluating their very questionable parenting skills.

Without further ado, here are parents of celebrities who, like many of their children, need some mental help:

In light of her recent breakup, 22 year old Lindsay Lohan decided it was time for something new in her life.

PEOPLE reports that a source saw the new tat which is a Marilyn Monroe quote tattooed in cursive on her inner-wrist. Monroe’s full quote is: “Everyone’s a star and deserves the right to twinkle.” The wording is also surrounded by stars. 

It is clear that the star idolizes Monroe. Last year, she recreated Monroe’s famous nude 1962 photo shoot for New York Magazine. She told the publication at the time that  Monroe was a “prime example of what this industry can do to someone.”

From time to time, I’m all down for some self-pity music. Once in awhile, I even like (some) lyrics that belt about broken hearts and broken dreams. But while some find such songs always comforting, others find an overuse extremely annoying.

I, of course, agree with the latter.

Let’s face it. We all have problems.  Some of us confide our hatred for life on our Facebook statuses or on Twitter (oh you know who you are).

Others, like myself, prefer to keep our sorrow to ourselves.

The best complainers are artists who whine about the roads they’ve paved. Oh and about the millions of dollars they earned. And about how their ridiculous fame is too much for them to handle, as though they had no choice in the matter.  

So, without further ado, here’s to the top five whiniest music singles (although there is many more) written by singers who, for one reason or another, think they have it a lot  worse than their fans.

(Warning: Do not be alarmed if Simple Plan takes up most of the five spots).

E! News reports that Linsday Lohan officially announced that her and girlfriend Samantha Ronson are on a break. Lohan tells E! that the decision was made Monday after a less than pleasant weekend with the DJ. The 22-year-old was not granted entrance into a Ronson family party on Friday. Ronson’s family members are supposedly to be blamed for these recent rumours for convincing the DJ that Lohan was “an outcast and a bully, or a wacko.”  

The couple had nearly been together for a year now. Ronson wrote on her Myspace Monday,  “Aura in pleasanton is very pleasant.”

It seems that everyone is dogging on Lindsay Lohan these days. In an attempt to save her dwindling career and make some cash to pay for her expensive taste and lifestyle, Lohan has been reported to have expressed desire to become a model.
Since the actress has been out of work since her last flick, I Know Who Killed Me, she has been reportedly trying to score acting gigs with little success. Sources report that she has been checking out modeling agencies like IMG to see if they would take her on and give her work.
