Lindsay Lohan continues to fight back after her father Michael shared old phone chats between the two of them with the press.

Her medium? Twitter, naturally.

“He’s a deadbeat dad. He’s disgusting to do this,” she wrote Thursday morning, noting, “he needs help.”

Her dad’s phone-tape leaks Wednesday, she says, “really hurts my mom for me and my siblings.”

The 23 year-old actress recalls the troubled home life and marriage between her father and mother Dina. “She blames herself for staying w/him for so long,” she says. But Lindsay begged Dina not to leave, she says, because “he always threatened to kill her if she did.”

Her father, she adds, would often disappear for several days — “cheating on my mother” and “abusing substances.”

The troubled star laments “that I even have to share this w/everyone, but I haven’t had a real relationship w/Michael Sr. In years . . . I just hope I can show others how to be strong through times and to be able to stand up for yourself and loved ones no matter what!”

In the tape Michael released Wednesday, his eldest daughter is sobbing, “No one cares about me . . . It’s about how they feel, not how I feel. It’s not about me. It’s never been about me, unless I fight for it.”

Lohan has been campaigning in the press for Lindsay to get treatment for drug and alcohol abuse.

Matthew McConaughey is looking forward to his forties – insisting life gets better the older he gets.

The Sahara star turned the big 4-0 on Wednesday and spent the day reminiscing with friends and family at a wild house party.

But the actor isn’t concerned about approaching middle-age – branding himself a “late bloomer” who’s got so much to look forward to.

On his MySpace blog, he writes, “The 30′s were good to me and I’m really looking forward to my 40′s, ’cause I’m a late bloomer. Got everything I need for a perfect 40th…a happy and healthy lady, son, and another baby on the way.”

Johnny Depp is eyeing the chance to go traveling with Angelina Jolie – he is in talks to step into Tom Cruise’s shoes in The Tourist.

Jolie stepped up to replace Charlize Theron in the remake of 2005 French thriller Anthony Zimmer after the South African beauty was forced to drop out.

Cruise was also slated to star, but pulled out of his part to team up with Vanilla Sky co-star Cameron Diaz in a new movie.

Aussie actor Sam Worthington was reported to have accepted the role, but has since dropped out – and Depp has now been lined up for the lead part, according to Variety.

The film tells the tale of a female agent on the hunt for an elusive ex-boyfriend, who becomes a wanted man.

Kristen Stewart has claimed she is a lesbian.

The 19-year-old actress refused to be drawn on rumors that have repeatedly said she is dating her ‘Twilight’ co-star Robert Pattinson, 23, and says she is going to come up with different ways of avoiding the question.

When quizzed on the rumours, she told Entertainment Weekly: “I’ve thought about this a lot. There’s no answer that’s not going to tip you one way or the other. Think about every hypothetical situation: OK, we are. We aren’t. I’m a lesbian. I’m just trying to keep something. If people started asking me if I was dating my other co-star Taylor Lautner, I’d be like, ‘f**k off!’ I would answer the exact same way.”

The actress also insisted she would have answered the question honestly if it hadn’t been turned into such a “big deal”.

She added: “I probably would’ve answered it if people hadn’t made such a big deal about it. But I’m not going to give them finding an answer. I know that people are really funny about ‘Well, you chose to be an actor, why don’t you just give your whole life away?!”

Kristen admitted she and the British actor are “close” but just friends.

She said: “I understand why you would assume that, when we lean on each other for support, there must be something more.”

Chris Brown is still scared of the public reaction to his assault on ex-girlfriend Rihanna – he’s convinced most people want to see him in jail.

Brown pleaded guilty to beating the Bajan beauty after a party in Los Angeles in February and was sentenced to five years probation, community service and ordered to stay away from the singer for the entire probation period.

He admits that although most of his fans have stood by him, he fears the general public would prefer to see him sent to prison for the attack.

He tells MTV, “(My fans) love me and support me. (But the public) don’t want to see me do anything… they wanna see me kind of, basically in jail.”

Chris Brown: The Interview will air on Friday – the same day as Rihanna’s TV tell-all on talk show 20/20.
