Dina Lohan’s ‘Top Mom’ honour brings bad press to mommy group

NEW YORK—The founder of an organization that honoured Dina Lohan as a “Top Mom” says things “spun out of control” when the media focused all its attention on the tabloid magnet. Mingling Moms, a networking group for Long Island mothers, celebrated Lindsay Lohan’s mom and others with famous children Tuesday night at its “Girls’ Night Out” party at Carlyle on the Green in Farmingdale, N.Y.
“It just spun out of control,” Mingling Moms president Erica Logiudice told reporters on Wednesday. “The press is welcome to be there — I mean, we want it to be out there. But what they did was they kept badgering me, `Why Dina Lohan? Why Dina Lohan?’” Logiudice said Lohan made the cut in an online survey asking voters to select Long Island’s top 20 moms of celebrities. The moms of Alec Baldwin, Natalie Portman and Mariah Carey were also nominated.
Lohan was swarmed by reporters at Tuesday’s event. The celebrity Web site TMZ posted video of Lohan with the headline “Dina Lohan Massacres Mother’s Day.” When asked what advice she’s given her actress-daughter Lindsay, Lohan responded: “Just to stay yourself and just to be honest. ... And if you do something, we’re all imperfect, and if you make a mistake, you’ll make up for it.”
