Michael Lohan Could 'Never Imagine' Lindsay Dropping the Family Name

By Christine Fenno Posted Mar 26th 2011 08:06AM

Yesterday, PopEater reported exclusively that Lindsay Lohan hopes to follow in Madonna's footsteps by dropping her last name. At least, that's the plan according to her mom, Dina Lohan.

Michael Lohan says: No way. The family patriarch -- recently accused of domestic violence by ex-girlfriend Kate Major -- popped up on CNN's sister network Friday night, firmly denying rumors of his famous daughter's name change.

"I don't think it's true at all," he told Headline News' Jane Velez-Mitchell in a satellite interview (watch the video after the jump.) "I would never imagine any of my kids changing their name, especially Lindsay."

He calmly insisted he had no idea why his ex, Dina, would announce such a thing. "Could it have to do with the drama with Kate?" he hinted. "You never know." He added, "With all due respect....Dina has said a lot of things over the years that have never come to fruition."

The name-change report isn't the only thing he was eager to deny during the interview.

Lohan also wanted to explain his side of the story regarding Major's report filed with the Sheriff, alleging that he got physical during a recent quarrel.

"Well, this was all premeditated, and we have evidence," Lohan said. "Kate left messages for people saying she was planning on having me arrested, because she wanted some money. I've been supporting Kate for over a year and a half, when no one else would do it, not even her father....I wish Kate the best. She really needs some help."

Mitchell pressed Lohan about Major's claim, and asked, "Did you hit her?", to which he replied, "Absolutely not. As a matter of fact, I'm the one who got cut." He rolled up his sleeve to show dark scratches he claims he sustained in the dispute.

"I called the police department first," he said, "and she raced there in her car while I was walking there to press charges...and they wouldn't even let me file a report."

Then, unintentionally justifying why his daughter might reasonably want to drop her surname, he griped, "They just arrested me on the spot, like they do Lindsay. You have the Lohan name, and you're gonna get nailed for it."

He vowed to stop talking to the media months ago and I swear he's been yapping MORE since then than he ever was. I wish he'd go away. You don't see other celebrities' parents running to the media or trying to land their own reality shows. Gross.

"I've been supporting Kate for over a year and a half,"

With what? Does he have a job no one knows about?

By Ron

Please make this horrid family go away

If Michael Lohan was smart, he'd drop Lindsay from the family!

By Patti

Cracks me up...yeah, why doesn't he? Bringing fame isn't the same as bringing notoriety to the family.

By New York

If Michael Lohan were smart (which he isn't) he would fall off the face of the earth & never be heard from again. He is a baffoon. Such a sicko. He has anger issues & is an abuser. He is a huge part of this family's problem. I I were Lindsay I would change my name & move as far away as I could & start over. She is so young. Don't let your sicko family drag you down anymore. Get the help you need. These are two people who should never have had children. Disgusting people.

Lindsay should just change her last name to Skank and disappear.

By airbarney2001

With a name like Skank you could never truly disappear.

ok, LINDASY LOW-HAM, HOW ABOUT THAT??

By Trouble

I would be hard-pressed to determine which of the Lohans is the most pathetic. . . .maybe we could vote.

By racingred

This family is an absolute TRAIN WRECK. They should move out of the country and go into seclusion. It is so funny that Michael Lohan makes these grandiose statements that he will NEVER speak with the media again, and now he is doing it more than ever. Just so incredibly sad.

Why do parents think they can parent after 18? They need to live or they'll be f'd up retards. Like Lindsay!

Lindsay should drop him from the family.

By Hmmm

I hear Michael and Dina are going to get back together. Kind of like Billy Ray and his current wife have done in the hope that it will bring the family back together and Lindsay won't drop their name.

By Nicole Colantoni

The entire Lohan family is horrible and would do the world a service by going away forever. As bad as Michael Sr. is, I think Dina is the most delusional, despicable, and the most disliked. Lindsay is a train-wreck unto herself, for whom there are no words.

who gives a s--t

By RC Vickerman

Lindsey Lohan will changer her name soon to Inmate Lindsey!

By sandy

I don't understand why this family is taking up space in the media.
