Los Angeles (E! Online) - There's about to be a new woman in Lindsay Lohan's life.
Doing his part to keep the family name in the headlines, Michael Lohan has confirmed to E! News that he popped the question to longtime girlfriend Erin Muller.
"We picked out a ring, but it's not official," the 48-year-old Lohan patriarch said. But although Muller, 24, has accepted his proposal, and he's not exactly keeping the nuptial news under wraps, he says he's holding off on officially announcing the engagement until "some family issues are resolved."
Which begs the question: If confirming to a major media outlet doesn't constitute an official announcement, what does?
Lest any conspiracy theorists think tensions with his famous daughter are the family issues in question, Lohan was quick to clarify that his cancer-stricken father's failing health is "the real reason."
Not to mention that other small outstanding concern, namely his possible paternity of 13-year-old Ashley Kaufmann, allegations which surfaced earlier this year.
"We're waiting for the paternity test and my father's situation to be resolved."
The girl's mother, Kristi Kaufmann, alleged that Lohan fathered Ashley during an affair when he and Dina Lohan were briefly separated. While he has donated his DNA, the sample has yet to be processed pending the appropriate court order.
But while Michael Lohan may be holding off on an announcement, he didn't show the same restraint when it came to the ring. Muller was photographed donning the major bauble over the weekend at the Mercedes-Benz Bridgehampton Polo Tournament.
Meanwhile, the elder Lohan took a timeout from touting his new leading lady to addressing a couple of others that have been around awhile.
First off, he took aim at Lindsay's steady sidekick Samantha Ronson.
"I'm not happy," Michael Lohan says. "Ever since [Lindsay] got out of rehab and all these people came back into her life, things haven't been right.
"People like Samantha Ronson don't need to be around Lindsay. She shouldn't be dragging Lindsay around nightclubs. Who was Samantha Ronson before Lindsay Lohan? She was nobody. She is using her for her own gain. All these people have inserted themselves into her life like parasites, and it's not right. I'm done with them."
As for his ex, Dina Lohan? "Dina is a kiss-ass. She's just nice to everybody, trying to be friends with everyone, just so she can be on Lindsay's good side. And it is wrong. She should be a mother first."
We're waiting to hear back from the former missus. We're sure she'll have nothing but hearty congratulations and happy thoughts for her ex.

"Summer Update and My New BFF!
Current mood: excited
Hey everyone,
Hope you're all having a wonderful summer. This is actually the first summer where I didn't just lounge around in St. Tropez or a private beach somewhere–I didn't take a vacation this summer because it's been non- stop work.
I've been shooting the show, editing it, traveling to Europe to promote my handbag line and fragrance, designing my fall collection for my shoes and clothing line, and working in my studio on a new album. So professionally its been a very successful and productive summer. My favorite part of the summer has been the time I've gotten to spend on tour with my love Benj We always have the best time together and he's played some shows in some pretty rad places: Orlando for example, so we got to go to Disney World, which is always a blast! He's such an amazing boyfriend and so talented too…I love watching him perform on stage, so hot!
Loves it!
Life couldn't be better; I have a great boyfriend and a new best friend. I'm so excited to announce that I've wrapped taping of "Paris Hilton's My New BFF." I've been LOVING every moment in the editing room, and am sitting there literally in tears, every day, laughing so hard at all the priceless moments from the footage. Also I'm thinking that a lot of the crazier scenes might just end up on the DVD….there is so much footage and even though some will be edited out as all shows must do, I want you to be able to see it and laugh as much as I have been!
When I was little I loved playing with dolls. Now that I'm grown up, this show concept has given me my own real live dollhouse by having the BFF contestants. Imagine all the trouble and fun I could cause all at once just with a text on my blackberry, from me to them…I'm sure you and your friends do a lot of my communicating by text–it's crazy to imagine how important that has become. I will admit…I love texting So it was naturally part of taping the show with the BFF contestants…I can't wait for you to see how we used the messages throughout the show.
These kids are gonna blow your minds and touch your hearts with what they go through and reveal. They were sweet and fun and a little crazy! Ha…I can't wait for you all to see the drama of having these girls and guys living under my roof. It was definitely an experience I will cherish forever and never forget. I made friends that I will have for a lifetime.
Wednesday, we all got together at a hotel in LA and shot the casting special that you will all get to see in the next few weeks on MTV. I really wanted you guys to be introduced to these kids and see some sneak peeks from the show. It was so much fun to see everyone again. We had a great time. I took lots of pictures, so I'll post them soon. And because I had so much fun doing this one, I decided I need to find my new British BFF…Everyone knows I love LA. But London, watch out – I'm coming to town and bringing my fast-paced life with me. I'm in the UK all the time, but of course I can't bring all my friends, so I've decided to look for a new BFF across the pond. I need a best friend who is hot, who can keep up with me, and most of all, who is real and won't be a backstabber. I'm not leaving London until I find that amazing girl or guy who can meet the challenges of being my British bestie!I am so excited! London is one of my favorite cities in the world. Or should I say, favourite. Click here for more info if you live anywhere in the UK!
I love you guys! xoxo Paris

MIAMI — Paris Hilton didn't do enough pledging for a 2006 sorority comedy, according to a lawsuit filed Tuesday.
Worldwide Entertainment Group Inc. filed the lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Miami, alleging the 27-year-old model-actress-heiress owes $75,000 in damages for not fulfilling promotional obligations. Hilton entered into an agreement in 2004 for the production and distribution of the movie "National Lampoon's Pledge This!," according to the lawsuit. Hilton starred in the film and received credit as an executive producer.
The Miami-based concern said it paid Hilton and her company, Paris Hilton Entertainment Inc., $1 million for "Hilton's acting services" and for "reasonable promotion and publicity" for the movie, which was released in 2006 and featured Hilton as the president of an exclusive sorority.
