Another day, another adventure. Except that Lindsay Lohan’s activities shouldn’t be qualified as “adventures” per se, maybe we should refer to them as “cautionary tales.” First up, Lindsay was fired from a new film she was supposed to start work on soon. The film is called The Other Side, and Lindsay was dumped for not being “bankable”. Funny, you would think she was dumped because she was a “train wreck”. Here’s more:

Lindsay Lohan was axed from a movie because she’s not “bankable” — this according a source connected with the production of the flick.

Lindsay was slated to star in “The Other Side,” a movie about a grad student working on a deserted island.

David Michaels, the writer/director, tells TMZ, “Our team simply chose to move on from Lindsay and we’ll soon be announcing a replacement.”

But sources connected with the film tell us the people financing the film were skittish about relying on Lindsay.

The movie also stars Woody Harrelson, Giovanni Ribisi, Dave Matthews and Alanis Morissette. And there’s this twist … at one point Brittany Murphy was attached to the movie.

Lindsay’s rep had no comment.

BTW — Lindsay was out at Chateau Marmont and Trousdale Friday night.

Lindsay getting dumped from a job is nothing new. Lindsay getting dumped in general is nothing new either – remember Sam Ronson? Lindsay tried to get up in Sam’s grill this week, accusing Sam of spitting in her face. Lindsay later pulled a “just jokes” and tried to act like it didn’t happen. Meanwhile, TMZ caught up with Sam and asked her about Lindsay, and Sam replied “she’s an angry human being” (video here). That’s the harshest Sam would go? Weird.

Anyway, remember how Michael came to Lindsay’s house with some sheriff’s deputies and chaos and crack tweets ensued? Well, Dina finally made a public statement about it, and it’s just… sad:

Dina Lohan is furious that her ex-husband Michael brought the Los Angeles Country Sheriff’s Department to daughter Lindsay’s apartment Thursday – and disputes his claim that the starlet is a bad influence on her younger sister, Ali.

“They scared the hell out of my girls,” Dina tells PEOPLE. “Ali called me hysterically crying. They were hysterical and petrified of him. I spoke to the [police officer] and said, ‘You don’t have a warrant, get out!’

Michael says he called the cops to perform a “welfare check” on daughter Ali, 16, because he was concerned about her safety. “Ali is being exposed to nightlife and the people Lindsay is surrounding herself with,” he told Hollyscoop at the time. She’s 16 and she doesn’t belong there. She’s a minor.”

But Dina says Ali and Lindsay, 23, are perfectly safe.

“Lindsay is absolutely, 100 percent, not [a bad influence],” she says. “Ali is amazing. She loves her sister. Would I let my daughter go anywhere that’s dangerous? I mean, come on, Ali and Lindsay need to be protected from their ex-father. That’s the dangerous situation.”

Though Michael says he wants to help his daughters, Dina thinks that by going public with his concerns, “he’s creating a worse situation for everyone.”

“Michael’s not well,” Dina says. “Nothing he does surprises me. He’s dangerous. He’s not going to be able to [intrude] again and get that close. Ali doesn’t want to see him again. She has a block on her phone because she was so petrified of him”

Bottom line? “He needs to pay child support and leave his kids alone,” Dina says. “I’m not going to sit idle and watch bad things happen to my kids.”

Look, I realize Michael sucks. I’ve never said anything different. He’s a disgusting human being, an abuser, a sociopath. But at some point, the whole “Michael is the devil, he’s the one with the problems in this family” argument falls flat. Yes, he has problems. But so does Lindsay, so does Dina, and so does Ali if she continues to spend time within this family.

UPDATE: Oh, sorry about this, I just now saw the backstory on Sam calling Lindsay an “angry human being”. Apparently, Sam and Lindsay were once again at the same club in LA (Trousdale), and Lindsay attacked Sam with a drink. Sam tweeted: “Just got a glass thrown at my head. … Hmmm – wonder who did it?” NYDN sources say: “It was ridiculous. Sam was sitting at a table, and Lindsay came up from behind and tossed an entire drink at her. Sam looked livid but just let it go. Why people even let Lindsay inside their establishments anymore is beyond me.” But the best part is that Lindsay crack tweeted after the incident: “Last night – never again – believe it or not she’s done with the club scene i’ve learned my lesson – sometime’s it just takes a glimpse of reality.”
