New York, December 18, 2007 – Lindsay Lohan’s father Michael Lohan donned a keffeya and sat on straw in the middle of freezing cold New York City on Tuesday evening – he was playing Joseph in something called the “2nd annual Times Square Nativity Scene”.  When someone suggested adding a nip of alcohol to the cup of coffee in his hand, Lohan, who spent time in jail for, among other things, DUI, quipped, “The last time I did that, I ran into a telephone pole”. 

We’d received numerous press releases touting the photo op, which lacked explanation for the whole thing. It turns out that the Times Square Nativity Scene is put on by Project Dance, which is involved in “faith-based arts movements”, according to their Web site. 

Michael Lohan reportedly found religion while in prison. Evangelists and local church members joined Lohan at the Nativity scene.
