Michael Lohan is, again, showing his fathomless concern for his (famous) daughter's welfare by making not exactly wild claims to the press:

"I'm going to get her off the prescription drugs that she's on. I hate it when people talk about illegal drug abuse... because it's not just drinking and illegal drugs that kill you. Prescription drugs can destroy and kill a person and are sometimes harder to stop (just ask Robbie 'I've got a new album in the works, read about my near death prescription pill experience in today's SUN!' Williams). Look at Heath Ledger and Michael Jackson (and almost Robbie Williams)... You know why Lindsay's not acting in feature films right now? Because she can't. Because the girl with all the talent is hidden and buried deep inside this fungus that's grown because of the prescription drugs. She can't be herself. When you hug her she's, like, vacant inside. When she kisses or holds me I get chills, and not in a good way-in a bad way." 'Cause fathers should always get chills 'in a good way' when they're kissing their daughters.

Usually I'd argue that, perhaps, Lindsay's vacant in Michael's presence for self preservation purposes. However, squinting at those recent photos from Paris Fashion Week, it's blatantly apparent that Lindsay's lifestyle, prescriptive or otherwise, is taking more than its toll.

Moral of the story is, if you've been burdened with self-serving sycophants as parents, pills alone won't help.
