(CBS)  It sounds like the ultimate stage mother's dream: Lindsay Lohan's mom Dina gets to be the star of her own reality show.

"Livin' Lohan," which debuts this summer on E!, will follow Dina as she manages Lindsay's hectic schedule, while helping her other daughter, 14-year-old Ali, "jump start her music and acting career."

The network didn't say if Lindsay Lohan will be seen on the show, but in an announcement Tuesday said that her 11-year-old brother Cody and 20-year-old brother Michael will be featured.

"The Lohans are one of the most intriguing families in the entertainment industry today," said Lisa Berger, Executive Vice President, Original Programming and Series Development for E! "This is a family that knows how to roll with the punches and come out on top. Dina is an incredibly hard-working, passionate mom that I think our viewers will find both relatable and highly entertaining."

Dina Lohan is certainly entertaining to gossip bloggers who often bash her for seeming like a hanger-on rather than a strong maternal influence in her troubled daughter Lindsay's life.

The 45-year-old New York native was slammed for going to clubs with her then-underage daughter, telling Star magazine that Lindsay's friends call her "The White Oprah," and, according to the New York Post, lying about having once been a member of the Radio City Rockettes.

To the Executives at E!: Stop this *** shoot of an idea; Dina needs to be a mom first since it seems she''s lacked this human trait from early on. People will only tune in for the train wreck that will be.

Agree, doubt this show will last 1 season. Most of the garbage on these train wrecks is common knowledge, not sure why "E" would waste its time....

Truly disgusting!

They are not "intriguing", they are one of many train wrecks in Hollywood and she is one of a zillion mothers trying to cash in on their children''s talents because they have none of their own.

She helped ruin one kid - she wants to ruin the rest?

Way to go "Mom".
