Lindsay Lohan Can't Go Home For The Holidays

Looks like this Thanksgiving is shaping up to be a turkey for Lindsay Lohan. The currently rehabbing actress is being forced to spend the holiday in treatment instead of with her family on Long Island.

"As of now she's not coming home," a family source exclusively tells E! News. "She's not allowed to. But Dina's still trying to get her home."

How's that going?

So far, no dice.

Lindsay has been awarded day passes away from her Betty Ford-supervised home in Rancho Mirage for good behavior, visiting her West Hollywood condo and doing a photo shoot for a clothing line. She's even made amends with her father, Michael, who has been paying visits to her. But it is unlikely she will be spending the holiday with him, either, according to the source.

Per a court order, Lohan must remain in treatment until Jan. 3, and is not permitted to leave the state without permission from the judge.

Lindsay Lohan -- Daddy Benz Over Backwards

Lindsay Lohan's dad went above and beyond to celebrate his daughter's new driving privileges -- in fact, TMZ has learned, Michael Lohan gave her his own Mercedes Benz to drive around in.

As we first reported, the L.A. County Probation Department and officials at the Betty Ford clinic restored Lindsay's driving privileges Monday morning -- and to make it clear he trusts her, we're told MiLo donated his own set of expensive wheels to the cause.

According to sources, Michael dropped the convertible off Monday night at Lindsay's sober living facility -- and Lindsay is free to drive it as she pleases.

Guess that means she'll be picking up the groceries for Thanksgiving.

Lindsay & Michael Lohan's Emotional Reunion

Lindsay Lohan reunited with her estranged father Michael on Sunday when the two took a trip to a local Palm Desert, California shopping center.

“Michael and Lindsay were at the mall for quite a while, but spent most of their time in a jewelry store,” an eyewitness told Radar Online.

Michael dropped Lindsay off at the Betty Ford Center and returned to the store. “He purchased something Lindsay had her eye on and seemed overjoyed by their reunion,” they said.

“She appeared genuinely happy to be spending time with her father,” the source said.

After completing roughly five weeks of rehab at Betty Ford, Lindsay will undergo therapy with Michael, in an attempt to get to the bottom of the bad feelings she has toward her father, Radar Online has learned exclusively.

"Michael is prepared to do anything to get it right this time," said another source.

Lindsay Lohan Working With Bill Clinton Advisor?

Lindsay Lohan has a candidate in mind to be her sober coach, and she's a former advisor to President Bill Clinton, Radar Online is exclusively reporting.

According to Lindsay's dad Michael, the Lohan family is trying to ensure Lindsay's sobriety by surrounding her with positive influences.

"When Lindsay gets out, I want to have the right team of people around her, not the Hollywood types who leached on her in the past," Michael told Radar Online.

Michael is campaigning for clinical psychologist Iris Martin, who has an M.S. from the University of Pennsylvania and according to the biography on numerous books she's authored, created "Corporate Therapy," which was used by Clinton for key domestic and global initiatives.

"It's people like Iris Martin who was Bill Clinton's personal analyst for over eight years who we need to be involved in Lindsay's new life," Michael said.

"I have been in touch with Iris to get her in touch with Lindsay to be part of her new life."

As Radar Online previously reported, the 24-year-old has gone over 100 days without failing a drug or alcohol test.

"It is people like Iris and her attorney, Tom Hanson, who is also Robert Downey Junior's attorney, who will lead Lindsay on the right path," Michael said.

"I hope Lindsay takes my advice and doesn't get caught up with the other people who have had nothing but a negative influence on her."

Although it's unclear what qualifications Martin has as a sober coach, she authored of the best-selling book From Couch To Corporation which won the "One of the Most Important Books in Psychology" Award by the American Psychological Association.

A Los Angeles judge ordered the troubled starlet to stay in the drug rehabilitation program at Betty Ford until at least January 3, 2011, after she tested positive for cocaine during a random drug test in September.
