Lohan's mother: Lindsay is misunderstood

Lindsay Lohan's mother Dina has hit back at reports her daughter is an out-of-control party girl, insisting the Mean Girls star is simply "misunderstood".

The actress, who completed a month-long stay in rehab to battle her drink demons earlier this year, is frequently criticised for her wild lifestyle - particularly after photographs showing the star allegedly snorting cocaine in a hotel toilet emerged last month.
