It feels like we've been doing hourly updates on World War III (a.k.a. the war of the Lohans), and here's the latest. Michael Lohan has now spoken to ABC News, and he claims to have texts and phone conversations that prove he's the good guy, and he continues to stand by his belief that Samantha Ronson is bad for his daughter Lindsay. However, even if you've been following this story as closely as we have, you might need a little refresher.

First, Lindsay's father Michael spoke exclusively to X17online after reports that Sam was penning a tell-all book. He said Sam was "using Lindsay to further her career," called her a control freak and even suggested that Lindsay had fallen off the wagon with drugs and alcohol.

A few hours later, a very upset Lindsay told Access Hollywood, "He's out of control...I want him to stop hurting and talking to the media about the people I love." Additionally, Lindsay and Sam fired back at Michael on their myspace blogs this morning, calling him a coward and a public embarrassment among other things.

And now, here's what Michael had to say to ABC:

    "Who's out of control? Whose life is out of control? Give me a break. Going from place to place, being dragged around by Samantha so she can make more money off of Lindsay being there when she spins...She's gone from making $7 million to less than a million a movie. Who's out of control? I go to church. I go and help people in rehab. That's control. How can she say I'm out of control?"


Michael claims that Lindsay's mom Dina initially thought Samantha was a bad influence on Lindsay, but now she's hiding her feelings because she wants to continue to share the spotlight with her 22-year-old daughter.

Michael continues:

    "I want Lindsay to be in a good place. When I started looking at what Samantha was doing, dragging Lindsay to clubs, drinking around Lindsay...Samantha is one of the biggest problems in her life. That's what Dina told me. I'm reacting on what Dina said, but then Dina steps out of the picture because she wants to look like the good guy. Dina's a two-face. She wants to try to look good and stay on Lindsay's good side instead of being a good parent. I don't give two hoots about my relationship with Lindsay as a friend. One day she's going to turn around to me and tell me, 'Daddy, you were right.'"


However, it looks like Linds wants nothing to do with her dad, as she's made very clear on her MySpace blog. In her post titled, "Dear Mr. Lohan" the starlet writes, "His recent attack on my life and my loved ones is simply for an ADDICTION THAT HE HAS - FAME. Why he feels the need to comment on anything in my life that i may want to keep private, is beyond comprehension - If he really cared about me and my life, then he would learn to respect my wishes by staying out of it."

Michael now claims to be on the verge of releasing text messages and recorded phone conversations with Lindsay and Dina that prove he's telling the truth. "If they're going to say I'm lying, I'm out of control, I'm going to show that they're lying and they're out of control," he said.
