Lindsay Lohan has been spending  more time in New York City

The actress' dad Michael has blasted the party-loving crowd that Lindsay has been spending time with in New York City and blames their "misguided morals" for her recent bust-up with her mother Dina and her public spat with a Congressional aide.

Venting in an email to the New York Post newspaper, Michael wrote: "I am very upset with the crowd around Lindsay. My advice to ALL the negative influences in Lindsay and my other children's lives is, this time, you have crossed the line and bitten off a lot more than you can chew!

"My family will not be subject to your misguided morals and ways! There WILL BE changes!! Just watch. (sic)"

Meanwhile, Lindsay's mother Dina is urging her daughter to get a permanent order of protection against Michael, but the starlet thinks the measure is too harsh as it would ban her from even receiving calls, texts or emails from him.

The 'Liz & Dick' star said she was "done" with her father after he betrayed her trust by making public a conversation they had about her fighting with her mother because the showbiz matriarch was allegedly on cocaine.

Lindsay, 26, insisted: "I told my dad a really hurtful and untruthful lie about my mom. She was not on cocaine.

"Daughters have fights with their moms. It happens a lot. It's normal."

Michael is adamant that Dina is the parent their children need protection from, telling TMZ.com: "I suppose Dina got wind that I want the court and Child Protective Services to investigate her!"

 “Many believe he is pulling away because he thinks it was Scientology that split him and Katie up.”
Should Tom cut all ties with Scientology then insiders believe Katie would consider reconciling her relationship with him.

The source explained: "If Tom truly leaves, Katie would reconsider. She was in love with Tom, he was her childhood crush, it took a lot of strength to break free. But now she has peace of mind but no love.”
