From the inbox comes a press release whose subject line pretty much says it all: "Highest Bidder Gets a Chance to Knock Out Lindsay Lohan's Father Michael In Charity Boxing Match." It goes on to explain that Michael Lohan, subject of many hate-blogs posted by Lindsay and her good friend Samantha Ronson on their MySpace pages, is putting himself on auction to highest bidder to box three rounds in the annual Long Island Fight For Charity. Ideally Ms. Ronson would get up there herself, but since that isn't happening (yet!), the charity suggests you submit an offer (starting at $5,000) to boxing(a)lifightforcharity(dot)com. Lohan himself wanted to get K-fed in the ring with him, but "there was no funding source." Who will benefit from the beatdown? Organizations like Family Residence and Essential Enterprises who help more than 3,000 individuals with developmental disabilities and/or mental illness.
