It’s completely wrong that I keep looking at photos of Dina Lohan and my instant reaction is “Lindsay doesn’t look so bad today.” Not only does Lindsay look older than her mother, Dina looks like the younger, prettier sister. What is it about the Lohan genes? All the women look like 40-something cougars, no matter what age they are. Are they all born with a martini, a spray tan and a pack a cigarettes?

Anyway, for today’s Lohan update, we have an interesting piece from Page Six. While the first reports indicated that Lindsay could get a cool million for her first post-jail interview, Page Six’s sources claim that Lindsay could be getting paid for a variety of pre and post-jail pieces, and perhaps even a jailhouse diary. Oh, there are also some sketchy quotes from Beef Jerky, Esquire in here. They’re really funny!

Lindsay Lohan may soon be on her way to prison, but her legal woes are turning into her biggest payday in years. Bids for the troubled starlet’s pre- and post-prison interview are now coming in at over $500,000. Major TV networks — which technically don’t pay for interviews but often get around that by paying for pictures — are putting in bids by joining forces with weekly magazines to score the big jailhouse chat.

Meanwhile, an increasingly desperate Lohan was close to signing lawyer Robert Shapiro, who defended OJ Simpson in his murder trial, in a bid to overturn her 90-day sentence, which is to start July 20.

A source told Page Six, “The irony is Lindsay is in demand. The bidding is over $500,000 for the rights to the pre-jail interview, the prison diary and the first chat when she is released. But Lindsay is still convinced she’ll get a reduced term — even if she has to go to rehab afterwards for longer. She has spoken to a number of lawyers over the weekend. She’s even seeing a psychic for guidance.”

On Saturday, Lohan met with Chicago-based lawyer Stuart V. Goldberg, who told us, “Her life is a perfect storm. I think she is a wounded child. She is very fractured. She is overwhelmed. She doesn’t seem to have full awareness of what’s going to befall her. No client recognizes the gravity of the situation until they hear those bars close. You have to numb yourself to exist under the gaze of 3 billion eyes every day.”

Goldberg said he advised Lohan to move out of Los Angeles, “away from bad company, and to somewhere like New York or Chicago, where she’d have a better chance at complying with her probation.”

But he said, “I feel she would be better served by a local attorney, and I think she’ll go with Robert Shapiro.” Shapiro’s office did not return calls last night. Mike Heller, who is negotiating some media offers for Lohan, told us there was “huge interest” but declined to comment further.

It’s sad that the most profitable thing Lindsay has done in the past five years is simply be UNFAIRLY forced into prison. FREE LOHAN. Ugh.

Also – TMZ claims that Lindsay is trying to kick some of her prescriptions before she goes to jail, which I don’t believe. They say that Lindsay has quit Dilaudid, the painkiller she was taking after her oral surgery, and that she’s only currently on Adderall and Nexium. Right. I don’t believe that for a second – I believe that Lindsay is so delusional, she really thinks she’s not going to jail, ever, and that she should take as much stuff as possible while she’s still free. Whatever.

Here are some photos of Dina at In-N-Out last night. Damn, she looks so young compared to Lindsay:
