Lindsay Lohan's estranged father, Michael, hasn't exactly been a beacon of support when it comes to his daughter's life. He has repeatedly called her decisions into question and has appealed for her to enter rehab.

So we're a bit surprised that MiLo has suddenly come out as a champion of his lil' girl - for taking her clothes off in Playboy.

It was a "good move" for her career, MiLo tells Dr. Drew Pinsky on the CW gabshow Dr. Drew's Lifechangers. What career direction is that? Soft-core? "If she's happy with it, I'm happy with it."

MiLo knows his boundaries: He says he has no intention of looking at the Playboy pics. That would be weird. Transgressive.

"I heard it's classy," he concludes.

Maybe LiLo's career is taking off?

London's Daily Mail has published a photo of Lindsay Lohan conspicuously holding a screenplay in her hand as she walks through JFK International. Conclusion: LiLo's photo shoot has so helped her career that she has been offered film roles. Right. Quod erat demonstrandum.

Matt Damon slams President Obama

Matt Damon, who fervently campaigned for candidate Barack Obama, has been in the headlines lately for making a series of - frightfully well-informed and articulate - attacks on President Obama's policies. Once a proponent of visionary ideas, says Damon, Obama has turned into a mediocre politician.

"I've talked to a lot of people who worked for Obama at the grassroots level," Damon tells the new edition of Elle. "One of them said to me, 'Never again. I will never be fooled again by a politician.' "

Adds Damon, referencing a famous statement by Obama, "You know, a one-term president with some [chutzpah] who actually got stuff done would have been, in the long run of the country, much better." Obama once told Diane Sawyer he'd rather be a good one-term prez than a mediocre two-term one.

Matt Damon slams the Democrats

In his Elle interview, Matt Damon also discusses the Occupy Wall Street movement, saying that the liberal movement is proof many voters aren't satisfied with the status quo.

"People are literally without any focus or leadership, just wandering out into the streets to yell right now" because they are so peeved, he says. "Imagine if they had a leader."
