Celebrity rehabs don't seem like the most effective places. But maybe the one treating Lindsay Lohan has stumbled on a winning idea: if they can't cure you in two months, they'll lock you away in the middle of nowhere for a couple of days with the person who caused all your dependency issues in the first place. A grand idea. It's sure to be a success. IMDB reports:
Lindsay Lohan will be spending five days of "quality time" with her father Michael next week – in a secret location away from her Utah rehabilitation clinic, according to reports. The Just My Luck actress, 21, checked into the Cirque Lodge in Utah in early August to seek counseling following two drunk driving charges earlier this year. Her mother Dina Lohan recently insisted the star's third stint in rehab will not be coming to an end any time soon, despite reports to the contrary, and now ex-convict Michael says he will be whisking Lindsay away as part of the rehab center's out-patient therapy program. He tells the New York Daily News, "I'm looking forward to spending the next week with her. We've been in constant phone contact. She's in a great, great place now. I've never heard her so honest, contrite and focused. Lindsay is weeding out all the bad. She's taking a step back and reevaluating her life. What she tells – her honesty and openness – has brought me to tears. It's beyond words how proud I am of her." And Michael – who has become an ordained minister since being released from jail in March – hopes his visit will encourage Lindsay to kick her drug and alcohol addictions completely, because of his own experiences with illegal substances. A source says, "They believe Michael's the best person for Lindsay to be with now. Not only is he her dad – someone with her best interests at heart – but he's also someone who successfully turned his own life around after battling substance abuse."
We're not saying that Michael Lohan is a bad person–we've never seen him handing out crack lollipops at a pre-school or anything–but do you think that maybe he's not the best person to babysit Lindsay straight out of rehab, seeing as he seems to be the root of her fucked-up-ness? That's kind of like saying to a young Johnny Depp, "You're having bad dreams? Why don't you go spend a week in the wilderness with this nice man in the striped sweater. Don't be afraid of his knife fingers; they're harmless."

Oh, you don't know he had anything to do with her being fucked up. He seems to really care about her and looks to really have her best interestes in mind. I say lets give them both a break. I love her and hope she is well soon!!!
