Never one to shy away from the spotlight, Michael Lohan is telling anyone who will listen his opinion on daughter Lindsay's decision to star in a movie based on Charles Manson.

I really hope that Lindsay gets back to the kinds of films that led to her success. I'd like to see her do more mainstream films.

When you're the kind of star Lindsay is, you have to appeal to a general audience, not just a specific audience.

Look, Mike, we appreciate the concern, but we're not sure what LiLo needs is another Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen. And perhaps the reason she no longer appeals to a general audience is because she's a coked-out attention whore bound to end up back in rehab?
