Lindsay Lohan Set to Celebrate 30th Birthday While Mom Is Stuck in Hospital

The party must go on — or something like that. Lindsay Lohan’s not going to let a little thing like her mom being hospitalized with a mystery illness prevent her from enjoying a lavish birthday bash. The actress, who turns 30 on Saturday, July 2, is set to ring in her next decade in Greece over the weekend despite the fact that Dina Lohan has been in the hospital for nearly a week.
According to TMZ, the 53-year-old momager was brought in on June 24, complaining about severe stomach pains. After a workup of MRIs and CT scans, doctors are still baffled as to what’s causing the symptoms, which have now progressed to her back and neck as well. They’re managing her pain with medication, but there’s no indication they’re any closer to figuring out its source.
In a recent snapshot from her hospital room, Dina flashes a smile and holds up a hot-pink smiley-face toy, but she can’t be happy about missing her daughter’s dirty-30 celebration in paradise.
The fete is allegedly being thrown by Lohan’s fiancé, Russian real estate mogul Egor Tarabasov, so it’s safe to say it will be quite the social event. And Lindsay has likely been looking forward to it for a while.

Asked by Vanity Fair how ringing in the big 3-0 will be different than other birthdays, she mused, “I am actually celebrating it — I thought I would be hiding when I realized I was turning 30! It’s different because the way I live my life is different, which I am very grateful for.”
For the record, Lindsay isn’t the only one Tarabasov has made an impression on. Back in March — before the Russian heir and LiLo were engaged — Dina gushed to ET, “We love him. He is a sweetheart.” The couple dated for a mere five months before Tarabasov popped the question, and they made their red- carpet debut at the Caudwell Children’s Butterfly Ball, looking like the poster-couple for young people in love.
When Vanity Fair asked about how she was feeling about turning 30, the star red-head revealed a more reflective side of herself than she has in the past.
“I am in the process of writing a book, and I am very excited to share my personal experiences in life and how to overcome obstacles,” she mused. “I hope that my words will connect with those who need some guidance when [or] if they are in a tough place. I am grateful that I have a voice, which I can now feel comfortable using as a platform to let people know that we all have ups and downs in life, and we can all come up from the downs if we get in touch with our inner self and spiritual side."
Her own spiritual journey, however, may have to wait until after this weekend.
