Lohan family 'plan intervention'
Lindsay Lohan's father Michael has said that he is planning to stage an intervention to save his daughter.

Michael, who recently claimed that the star is addicted to prescription medication, revealed that he and her mother Dina are concerned that the actress needs to seek professional help.

Radar Online quotes him as saying: "I had a conversation with her, her mother and everyone. Over the next couple of weeks I'm going to be doing things in a pretty public way.

"But Dina has got to get on the same page with me. It's a serious situation. You can't just talk about it and tell me that you want to do an intervention and then do nothing."

It has been suggested that Lindsay is dependent on a cocktail of different prescriptions, including Attention Deficit Disorder medication Adderall, anti-depressant Zoloft and pills to treat anxiety and bi-polar disorder.

Michael added: "When Lindsay doesn't adhere or listen to what I say about serious situations, I feel I have to speak publicly to put pressure on her. If she doesn't take my advice and do what I say... the more pressure I put on her, the more likely she is to eventually do the right thing."
