Dina Lohan shopping memoir all about Lindsay

Dina Lohan, the mom of Lindsay Lohan, is working a memoir and has allegedly been shopping it to publishers. She reportedly has high hopes for a “best seller.”

According to TMZ, which got its hands on a draft of the memoir’s prologue, the book delves heavily into Lindsay Lohan’s substance abuse problems and the hard-partying ways that have led to her downfall. The prologue also apparently needs a good copy editor.

“I blamed [Lindsay’s] friends, her career and her handlers for an new found life-style of partying excessively,” the chapter, which was written with the help of a ghostwriter, reads. “Drinking, drugging and behaving irresponsibly became Lindsay’s way of daily living — and it tore me up inside.”

Lohan claims in the chapter that she had hesitations about sending Lindsay to Los Angeles with only a chaperone but didn’t feel that she could “deny my daughter the chance of a lifetime.” She also says that when Lindsay began getting in legal trouble, she felt helpless.

Lohan tells Gossip Cop that reports the book is negative are notuntrue. “I would never do a negative book about my child,” she said adding that it would be “all positive.” She also said that the memoir is in the “if and when” stage.

If Lohan’s tome is ever published, she would join the wide ranks of celebrity parents who have written tell-alls about their children.

Jennifer Aniston didn’t speak to her mom, Nancy Dow, for years after she wrote “From Mother to Daughter to Friends: A Memoir,” which dissected Aniston’s marriage to Brad Pitt. Lynne Spears published “Through The Storm” in 2008, outing daughter Britney for having lost her virginity at age 14. Eminem’s mom, Debbie Nelson penned a tome called “My Son Marshall, My Son Eminem: Setting the Record Straight on My Life as Eminem’s Mother.” And Bill Hudson, father of Kate Hudson, wrote “Two Versions: The Other Side of Fame and Family” which will be released on Oct. 31 and apparently refers to his daughter as a “spoiled brat.”
