Lindsay Lohan is rather attached to her Twitter account. Attached in a way one should never become attached to a social network. Attached like a chocoholic to their very last Rolo, if you will.

The star can often be found on Twitter taking utter leave of her senses. That is to assume that she had any senses to begin with, but there are only so many hours in a day and we have to start somewhere.

She tells Twitter her intimate secrets. She shares her hopes and fears. She uses ellipses and exclamation marks in a manner that suggests she fears a shortage of both. She goes on 140-character rants in a manner that makes you glad she doesn’t have over 100,000 people reading her lunacy. Oh dear, hang on a minute.

Lindsay has been ranting a whole lot on her Twitter lately. Damn near daily. In fact we can assume she’s going on a rant right now. Listen. If you prick up your ears you can probably hear her mobile phone screaming in pain at having the snot beaten out of it with the constant updating.

Lindsay has been using the site as a means to reach out to longtime love Samantha Ronson. That is an oddity. We’re quite sure that at some point while dating someone you might be allowed to have their phone number. Better yet, you may even be privy to their home address. As such you could harass them on their doorstep, rather than making a fool of yourself online. Then there’s the saga with her own father, Michael Lohan, a man whom she labelled “a lunatic”.

The former actress turned total non-druggy – who has probably never tried drugs at all because they’re dangerous and yucky – is getting a bit of a reputation. She is becoming known for going on rants about her loved ones and then deleting the evidence. Thankfully Lindsay doesn’t seem to know about fancy-schmancy things like Print Screen and Copy and Paste. She has no idea her messages live on, even after she hits the delete button.

People reported on some of the messages Lindsay wrote about her father:

“My father is a lunatic & doesn’t even deserve such a title since he’s never been around in my life other than when he’d threaten me & my family,” Tweeted Lindsay, who just finished shooting the thriller Machete opposite Robert DeNiro. “He should be where he has always put himself after verbally abusing and physically abusing people all my life-behind bars.”

There’s no getting away from how Lindsay feels about her father. He is seeking conservatorship of her giant mountain of money, which is bound to cause friction. No – he wants conservatorship to stop her accidentally poking herself in the eye with sharp objects. No – he wants control over her so he can stop her from going on Twitter all the bloody time.

From Radar Online:

“As far as Lindsay is concerned, if she goes into a rehab, I will stop,” he told RadarOnline.com exclusively. “But if the lies continue and the prescription drug use doesn’t stop, neither will I.”

Whatever he wants, he is refusing to stop going to the press until Lindsay caves in. He’s been in the press almost every day for the last week. Taking that into account, we think Lindsay should cave in and stop kissing Gerard Butler or whatever she’s doing right this second and do as her dad says.
