Michael Lohan must be hoping that his daughter reads the tabloids because he is talking to them about Lindsay Lohan on a daily basis.

The former prisoner is trying desperately to be part of the 20-year-old's life and is conducting interviews about her downfall with countless publications. The latest is with US Weekly magazine where Michael has continued to advise Lindsay to cut people out of her life - everyone except for him.

The estranged father told the magazine that he is thankful that the "Mean Girls" star is in rehab but wants her to continue making changes.

He said, "I'm glad she's there and trying to get help. I hope she stays away from Samantha Ronson and all the people who have been negative influences.

"That includes the bodyguard, the assistants... Lindsay needs to clean house. She needs to get God back in her life and put her family in her life. She's gotta start all over again from where she started when she was at her best."

Michael believes that he is kept away from his eldest child because of his relationship with her.

He continued, "[Lindsay's camp's] afraid of my relationship with Lindsay. You see, this is the problem. Unless they start [including me], Lindsay is never going to get better."

Since being released from prison, Michael has been building his profile as a minister. He said he rediscovered religion while locked up.
