Lindsay Lohan and dad call 'truce'

Michael Lohan has called a "truce" with daughter Lindsay.

The 48-year-old parent has vowed to stop criticising Lindsay, 22, and her girlfriend Samantha Ronson after previously threatening to release "emails, texts, depositions and audio tapes" which would show Samantha was only with Lindsay for her money.

However, Michael has now revealed he regrets his past behaviour, and feels the new year is the perfect time to mend his relationship with Lindsay.

He said: "There is a truce between Lindsay and I, so please stop adding any fuel to the fire. I respectfully ask that all sources, so called friends and mouthpieces refrain from any more comments or suggestions on her blog."

The blog post on Michael's new official site MikeLohanOnline.com is the latest development in Lindsay's notoriously difficult relationship with her father.

Earlier this week, Samantha responded to Michael's claims that she had written a post on Lindsay's MySpace page accusing him of fathering an illegitimate child.

After Michael saying he was "99 per cent" sure Samantha had penned the blog - in which 'Lindsay' blasted Michael for keeping the third child a secret - Samantha responded: "Ha! That's funny, but I don't ghost-write MySpace blogs. Good thing he left that one per cent window open so he wasn't 100 per cent wrong for once."
