Parole officer throws Lindsay Lohan's dad Michael a hook, nixes his celebrity boxing match

November 19, 2008 - Michael Lohan's past is keeping him from doing some good in the near future.

The shady celebrity dad won't be boxing in the much-hyped charity match that was set for Monday in Long Island because his parole supervisors won't let him.

"Mr. Lohan was convicted of assault, which is a violent crime, and is currently under parole supervision until February of 2009," said Heather Groll, a spokeswoman for the New York State Division of Parole.

 "We do not feel that participating in a violent activity, such as celebrity boxing, whether it is for charity or not, is appropriate for his rehabilitation. It is inappropriate for a person on parole to engage in the same type of behavior that landed him in prison in the first place."

Lohan told the Daily News Wednesday he is "very disappointed," but understands the decision.

"I've been on parole for almost two years now, and being that everything has gone so well, I didn't want to cross the line in any way with them."

The 48-year-old dad of actress Lindsay Lohan was arrested in 2004 for attacking his ex-wife's brother with a shoe at their Merrick, L.I., home.

While awaiting sentencing, he was charged with driving while intoxicated and aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle. Lohan spent two years in jail.

Last month, he auctioned off a chance to box him for charity. Lohan was set to enter the ring against Bob Venero, president and CEO of Future Tech Enterprise in Holbrook, who pledged $30,000 for the honor.

Lohan says the bout with Venero, who calls himself "The Humanitarian Hit Man," will go on in March, when hie parole ends.

And he's already challenging someone else to a fight. The music producer brother of Lindsay's girlfriend Samantha Ronson recently called Lohan a "sad, pathetic loser" for slamming Samantha's hygiene and fashion sense.

"After the comments and threats that Mark Ronson made recently, maybe he wants to fight me for charity," Lohan said. "I'm definitely willing to step in the ring for three rounds with Mark Ronson."

Venero, 40, will still take part in the Fight for Charity at the Hilton Long Island in Melville Monday. He'll box an accountant - and he'll pony up the $30,000.

"I honored my commitment because it wasn't Fight for Charity's fault, so I still kept that in," vowed the businessman-turned-boxer.

Lohan Calls Barack 'Colored' in Chat

November 12, 2008 - Barack Obama's historic win proves most people in this country are moving on from a terrible past of racism.

Looks like Lindsay Lohan didn't get the memo.

In an interview with "Access Hollywood" on Monday, Lohan had the ultimate cringe moment when she called President-elect Obama "colored."

When asked how she felt when Obama won, she answered: "It's an amazing feeling, you know. It's our first colored president."

Lohan supported the Chicago senator during his campaign, but the Obama camp - who were seemingly wary of any celebrity support - did little to use the singer's endorsement.
