Lindsay Lohan has long refused to talk about her dad, but singing about him is another story. Her upcoming single "Confessions Of A Broken Heart (Daughter To Father)" Is all about Michael Lohan, who's doing time for assault and DUI. Another first: Lindsay will direct the video. "She has a great understanding of the material," says label president Tommy Mottola. How sad.
