Lindsay Lohan is let go from film; Perez Hilton lets it fly on Twitter

Lindsay Lohan has been dropped from the film "The Other Side," TMZ reports, in what the movie's director David Michaels calls a choice to "move on." Perez Hilton, however, shows little sign of moving on when it comes to LiLo.

The filmmakers' choice may have something to do with whether Lohan is "bankable," according to a TMZ source familiar with the project. ("The Other Side" has been described as a mix of "Beetlejuice," "Alice in Wonderland," "Amelie" and "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest," to which we say, "perfect.")

Lohan told Gossip Cop on Sunday that she won't be meeting with her father, Michael Lohan, to discuss whatever it was that he wanted to put on the meeting agenda. Dad has given a big "or else" this time -- sit down with him and her sister Ali, and maybe a lawyer, or else he's going to court to push for a Britney Spears-type conservatorship.

Meanwhile, over the weekend, LiLo and Perez engaged in a Twitter spat, as Hilton on Saturday bombarded Lohan with links to his many blog posts about her and Lindsay on Saturday and Sunday soaked up fan support -- including some name-calling -- and tweeted that Hilton was simply seeking page views at her expense.

That Twitter barrage came as Hilton spent Saturday signing books with Mario Lopez and Emilio Estefan (Gloria's husband) at the Foxwoods Resort Casino in Connecticut. Then Hilton and Lopez later hit the resort's Shrine nightclub until closing time, with Hilton at one point jumping the VIP-table barrier to dance and take photos with fans on the dance floor.

Elephant in the room: The tattered fact that LiLo showed up at Perez's birthday party in March.

The Ministry just realized it doesn't have a "train wrecks" category and is saddened by that fact. You'll just have to follow us on Twitter (we're @LATcelebs) and hang with us on Facebook until new trains arrive at the station -- or derail nearby.

Michael Lohan is just plain crazy if he thinks any court will ever allow him to be the conservator of any other human being on this planet.

Lindsay obviously needs a lot of help, but I'm sure whoever ends up helping her will forbid that man from having any contact with Lindsay unless Lindsay asks for the contact herself.

Sorry, may not always like the way Perez does things, but gotta agree with him on Lohan. She's a mess and can't even make a scheduled court date without finding an excuse to bail. She'll be lucky to get "real" work ever again unless she shapes up. That said, do NOT let her father have control. He's the last person who she needs in control, but her mom isn't much higher. She needs someone from completely out of the picture if she wants to get better.

Please do the world a favor and lock up that milk-aholic Lindsay and throw the key away...better yet lock up Prissy Perez and low-life Lindsay away...seriously they won't be missed...

Lohan's dad just wants some more money---he's already run through the stash he's made off lindsey so far, and has lots of expenses. She needs to find a gig quick so he can stay in the green.

I posted this on another comment list recently, but I'll say it again on this one. "Perez Hilton" (or whatever his name really is) is an opportunistic sleazeball gossip hag with no conscience who makes money at the expense of celebrities shenanigans. But Hilton has officially and legally crossed the line with his Miley Cyrus photo. But a little jail time for him wouldn't make any difference, because he'd probably only use it as more publicity to further his "career".
