Lindsay Lohan’s mom, Dina Lohan, is being honored as mom of the year. Dina, who fancies herself “the white Oprah” and recently considered her 14-year-old daughter, Ali, her plus-one in Vegas, has been named one of the “Top 20 Long Island Mothers of Celebrities” by Mingling Moms, a Long Island-area organization.

Dina is scheduled to attend to pick up her award in person May 6, a decision that comes as no surprise to those who know her. “A shot at more publicity? Please. Of course she’ll be there,” said a source who has known the Lohan family for years.

Other moms being honored include Jennifer Lopez, Carol Baldwin (mom to the Baldwin brothers) and former “Karate Kid” Ralph Macchio’s mom, Rosalie. The source said that Dina is taking her award quite seriously. “With her reality show, this couldn’t be better timing, especially from a publicity standpoint,” said the source.

The prize-winning guardian has extended her wisdom to fellow showbiz mum Leticia Cyrus in the wake of her 15-year-old daughter’s recent controversial Vanity Fair photoshoot.

She says, “I don’t know Miley’s mom, but you know, just say strong and keep your head up. And she’s (Miley’s) talented and stay focused.” She adds, “You know, and be her mom.”
