Lindsay could be dead in a year, says dad

"She needs long-term rehab," he told Grazia, referring to her alleged painkiller addiction. "I fear the worst. Look at Elvis, Anna Nicole Smith, Heath Ledger - who was a close friend of hers.

"It could be a year, a month, a week - who knows? She has a plethora of medicine you can't mix and can't drink with."

Lilo has already had several spells in rehab after being arrested for drink driving a few years ago - but a judge recently told her to 'get serious' about going to an alcohol education programme for her probation.

Lindsay, understandbly, is grossed out that her dad chose to tell this to a magazine rather than to her directly.

"I'm so hurt that someone who calls himself my father needs to use the press to communicate with me," she said.

"I have not spoken to my father, nor have I responded to his threatening and erratic messages over the last several months.

"It's so sad that he needs to stay in the media spotlight by using my name and making up excessive lies. He should instead try to be a real father."
