Mother of The Year, Dina Lohan, has defended her daughter Lindsay's nude copycat photos of Marilyn Monroe. As you can tell from the comments on our post about Linday's photos, no one is impressed. In fact, we're all more than grossed out by them, and her ridiculous quote about blaming Hollywood for Heath Ledger's death. However, Dina had this to say:
"It was very tastefully done... I looked at it as art, and as Lindsay doing a character. So I don't look at them like it's Playboy; she was being a character. So if you look at it that way, you can look at it as a mother. Trust me, I wouldn't have sent my 14-year-old to the set [if the shoot was in bad taste]. And obviously Lindsay wouldn't do anything with her sister there, that was risqué.
"For Christmas, my girlfriends even gave her a Marilyn cookie jar. I think there's a sadness that Lindsay feels for Marilyn. Lindsay really saw it as a gift back to someone. Lindsay did 250 crunches before because she was nervous since she had never done anything like that before."
