At the premier of Georgia Rule, which stars her daughter alongside Jane Fonda and Felicity Huffman, 44-year-old Dina interviewed celebrities on the red carpet as a special correspondent for Entertainment Tonight (ET).
The fact that Dina has ambitions of becoming a TV star was recently revealed by OK! Magazine which reported she has her eyes set on Rosie O'Donnell's spot on "The View".
However, what is interesting is there may be a quid-pro-qua involved in the assignment handed out to Dina by ET.
"Dina wants to be a TV star," says a Pagesix source. "But 'ET' may just be hiring her so they can get the Lindsay exclusive."
Lindsay Lohan has not spoken with the media since London's News of the World published photos of Lohan doing drugs just 20 days after checking out of rehab.
Dina has used her daughter's travails to her advantage earlier too.
While Lindsay was at the Wonderland facility in L.A, Dina rode a plane with ET cameraman to visit her daughter.
"She was so angry there were cameras there," said a friend of Lindsay's. "And people at the rehab center were infuriated."
Interestingly, Lindsay's former BFF Paris Hilton's mother Kathy has also been trying to cash in on her daughters travails. According to a Daily News source, following the sentencing of her daughter to 45 days in jail, Kathy Hilton has been reaching out to NBC and TV celebrity shows, pitching an exclusive interview with Paris and her.
