Lindsay Lohan: Life in pictures

MAMA LOHAN

If you can’t be a real Rockette, being a fake Rockette is the next best thing -- or at least that’s what Dina Lohan figured when she fabricated a story about her time as a member of the high-kicking wonder group.

Dina is a favorite target of gossip rags, mainly because she seems like such a lousy mother; she’s often seen partying with her 21-year-old daughter. When Dina, the self-proclaimed “White Oprah,” expressed her desire to join "The View," gossip bloggers delighted. They called Dina “The Orange Oprah,” in reference to her spray-tanned skin.

Here, Lohan is flanked by her sister Ali, left, and her mother, Dina, at the premiere of her film "Just My Luck" in May 2006.
