It's Official: This Summer, We'll Be Living Lohan

After trickles and teases for months, E! has announced the deets on the show we've all been waiting for, the tentatively titled Living Lohan.

In a scenario that seems part-exposé/part-career-launcher, Dina Lohan and daughter Ali, 14, will be the focal points of the show, which will take us into their Long Island homestead and follow Dina as she manages the fam and her younger daughter's career. According to E!, despite the family's recent traumas (divorce, Lindsay's struggles), "Dina is determined to help each of her four kids fulfill their dreams and refuses to live in fear of what others may think, despite being under the paparazzi microscope."

Despite the obvious concerns about the younger Lohan girl following in her sister's footsteps, Dina is "more experienced this time around," E! says, "and will do everything she can to protect Ali from the pressures and temptations of young Hollywood."

Adds an E! exec, "Dina is an incredibly hard-working, passionate mom that I think our viewers will find both relatable and highly entertaining."

While "passionate" might not have been my word of choice, I might, just maybe, check out the show when it launches this summer. Will you be tuning in? — Anna Dimond

Isn't E! also doing that show with Denise Richards wh0ring her kids? E! has become the tv channel equivalent of a sleazy lawyer who sues a guy in a wheelchair for scratching his car when the lawyer ran into the guy knocking him out of his chair.

No, I will not be watching.

I tend to not watch programs designed to let pimps whore out children.

And that is all that Dina Lohan and her ilk are, a bunch of children whoring pimps.

Here we have yet another glaring reason on the ever growing list of reasons why I dont have cable or satellite TV.

Does E stand for excrement? Ejecta?

I'm sorry, but this an example of, and I quote "everything she can to protect Ali from the pressures and temptations of young Hollywood." ??? So by throwing her into a reality series that follows her every last move, ultimately glamourizing her life, this is somehow protecting her? Right... I can really see the logic in that one! Why not protect her by giving her a NORMAL life, you know, one where you aren't followed around by cameras everywhere you go.

In every picture I've seen of Ali Lohan, she looks older than Lindsay. The girl's friggin' 14 years old, for crying out loud. Let her be (and look like) a teenager for once!!

I have a great title for the show:
"Pimp my child." With apologies to MTV.

... relatable and highly entertaining.

Uh no, disgusting and manipulating, yes. Just what I want to see--a 14 year old girl, turning into a bitter 45 year old woman in less than a heartbeat. Another one of the must NOT see shows. I sincerely hope Dina isn't bucking for mother of the year award--she won't get it.

Uh huh- sure. Every kids dream is to be scrutinized and criticized 24/7 by the media via a reality show. The only thing Dina seems determined to do is screw this one up as badly as she did the first.

I beg to differ. Dina isn't a child whoring pimp...she's a child-pimping whore.

I will definitely not be livin' la vida Lohan. The day that I find Dina Lohan "relatable and highly entertaining" is the day that my family will have me committed.

Ali looks like a mini-Angie Harmon (and, as for tuning in, not if it was the only thing on TV).

It looks like poor Ali needs to eat a hamburger more than she needs to be in a reality tv show. :O
I'll definitely be passing on this awful exploitation. That goes for Denise Richards' show as well. What are these "moms" thinking?
