Dina Lohan Named “Top Mom”

This is such a dumb publicity stunt.

On Tuesday night, Dina Lohan will be honored by a Long Island-based “charity,” the Mingling Moms Organization, as a “Top Mom.” The term “charity” is used extremely loosely here, as I checked out their website (I’m not linking to it because I refuse to help drive traffic there), and it appears to be mostly a social club. They charge for attendance at their luncheons, which are “so unique because we are the only luncheon/lecture series designed especially for mom and baby!” And I couldn’t find a hint on their website of any of that money going towards anything even resembling a charity. Please feel free to correct me if I’m wrong. But I think I’ll amend my prior statement — the term “charity” is used extremely incorrectly here.

Anyway, Dina Lohan will be honored for exceptional mothering skills, because it takes a lot of guts to be the only person willing to look the American public in the eye and claim that your daughter does not have a drug or alcohol problem when she has been basically pissing Grey Goose since she was 17. It’s true, Dina: your daughter does not have a drug and alcohol problem, at least not in comparison to you.

Other moms “honored” are:

Rae Stern, mother of shock jock Howard Stern; Lillian Robinson (Eddie Murphy); Ann Iris Guttenberg (Steve Guttenberg); Betty Seinfeld (Jerry Seinfeld); Shelley Stevens Herschlag (Natalie Portman); Amy Hughes (Olympic skating gold medalist Sarah Hughes); and Eileen Connolly (“Entourage” star Kevin Connolly).

“My mom’s a bit more normal,” Connolly laughed when we told him his mother would be honored alongside Dina Lohan. “I wouldn’t have a career at all it wasn’t for her. She’s my favorite person in the world.”

Congrats, Dina. You should celebrate with a drink or eight, and at least half a bottle of Valium. You know, like a normal Tuesday.

  • Eileen Connolly seems like such a great mom. Despite all his success, Kevin Connolly is still very loyal to his mom and worries about the bad press he sometimes gets because he says his mom reads it and worries about him. Remember that even celebs have moms. She’s probably getting a kick out of being honored with Dina Lohan.

  • So this has nothing to do with being a good mom – just being the mom of someone famous. I see.

  • All stage moms should be taken out back and shot. I have seen so many unhappy kids on film sets over the years. It really is abuse.

  • I wish my mom was Dina:)
    Woken every day with breakfast on the bed made by a man I never met in my entire life, who’d just banged my mom, because he was really drunk and she said she was me. Isn’t that every girl’s dream?
    On the other hand. My REAL mom would never take plastic sugery to look younger, in a desperat try of gaining some fame. Dina does not look younger. She looks like a woman her age taking plastic surgery to look younger. Actually that makes her look older. Nice work, Dina!

  • She deserves the honor. She’s probably one of the top donors to the charity. What she lacks in parenting skills, she makes up for in donations…and skeevy-ness.
