THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF DISNEY: Blimey. Lindsay Lohan's dad seems to be putting the pressure on her and her mum to take part in some gory reality TV show, according to the New York Daily News; he's apparently sent a letter suggesting that everyone takes part "...otherwise we go full-boar [sic] and the lawsuits start, the kids get subpoenaed, forensics are done, witnesses are called in, the press gets involved and people go to jail for fraud.

We love the idea that he's trying to suggest that you can go to prison for refusing to take part in reality TV - doubtless Germaine Greer's Big Brother walkout would have had her on Death Row in Papa Lohan's world.

The treatment for his proposed series is a hoot, too:

A new reality TV series ... of the biggest star in Hollywood and her family. ... Behind the scenes with Lindsay on the set, in the recording studio and just being Lindsay! Follow her mom, Dina, as she visits Lindsay, negotiates deals and assumes her role as mother. ... All while Lindsay's controversial dad, Michael ... deals with legal problems.

"Join the Lohans ... as they go through what could be one of the decade's most controversial celebrity divorces. ... Will celebrity and millions of dollars tear them apart? Or will they beat the odds and put their life and family back together?"


Sounds horrific, doesn't it? And what company in their right mind would touch such a nasty, intrusive, hurtful idea? Oddly enough, according to New York magazine, good ole Family Values Disney is who. Dick Cook, Disney chair, is reported to have agreed to meet with Lohan to discuss his ideas. Let's hope they can get to make it before Fox rushes Celebrity Suicide out and MTV's Yo! Stab Your Momma makes it to air.
