Dina Lohan To Be Honored As A “Top Mom”
I don’t know what those women out there in Long Island are drinking, but I think they’ve had a bit too much tequila in their iced teas, if you know what I mean. It seems that Dina Lohan, mother of perpetually off-the-wagon Lindsay and upstart Ali, is going to be honored as one of their “Top Moms”:
Right now, Dina’s daughter, Lindsay, is literally a poster girl for bad behavior. Her mug shot appears in liquor-industry ads as an example of a “hard-core drunk driver” who needs a Breathalyzer to stay off the road (even though the ads are against having the devices in every car).
Yet, Dina will be named a “Top Mom” tonight by a Long Island-based charity, Mingling Moms Organization, even though Lindsay went to rehab three times last year and was jailed for drunken driving and cocaine possession.
Mingling Moms president Erica Logiudice called Dina “such a dedicated mom . . . Through all the ups and downs of Lindsay, she has been by her side.”
Some of Dina’s fellow honoree moms are: Rae Stern, mother of shock jock Howard Stern; Lillian Robinson (Eddie Murphy); Ann Iris Guttenberg (Steve Guttenberg); Betty Seinfeld (Jerry Seinfeld); Shelley Stevens Herschlag (Natalie Portman); Amy Hughes (Olympic skating gold medalist Sarah Hughes); and Eileen Connolly (”Entourage” star Kevin Connolly).
Nothing like keeping standards high for other mothers to follow. But don’t get too excited…it isn’t necessarily for excellence in motherhood; in fact, pretty much all you need to qualify is a kid and a Long Island address (at some point or another):
“We’re just honoring celebrities’ moms on Long Island,†a spokesperson from Mingling Moms tells OK!. “It’s something for Mother’s Day. It’s a list of mothers from Long Island who have raised superstar children.†[...]
New mom Jennifer Lopez, who lives on the Island with hubby Marc Anthony and gave birth to twins Max and Emme in North Shore Hospital, will also receive the Celebrity Mom of the Year Honor for putting the media spotlight on the 118-mile long strip.
But these famous-by-association moms shouldn’t feel too special.
“It’s not just about the celebrities – it’s more about Long Island moms,†the rep says. “Over 1,000 Long Island moms will be at the Gala tomorrow evening as well.â€
I wonder if JLo will show or blow?
Seriously…what’s the point? I mean, if there’s not a lot of criteria for this, why bother with it? I live out here in the middle of a cornfield. Should I receive a “Cornfield Mom Of The Year” award just because I do? Or maybe Dawn should receive a “Scientology Bootay-Kicking Mom Of The Year” award? (Actually, maybe she should.)
The woman didn’t mention that while Dina has stood by Lindsay in her troubles, if Dina hadn’t been so busy whoring out her daughter instead of actually (oh, I don’t know) mothering her maybe there wouldn’t have been as many problems to deal with in the first place. So if they are honoring Dina Lohan with any sort of award celebrating mothers, then that is truly one of the last signs of the Apocalypse.

I agree about Dawn’s award

These yentas have way too much time on their hands. They need to find a worthy cause. You know, like their children.
