Lindsay Lohan's mother Dina Lohan is embroiled in a war of words with U.S. TV journalist Anderson Cooper, after he mocked her 14-year-old daughter Ali on a live show.
Cooper took a swipe at the star of reality TV show Living Lohan, while guest hosting U.S. morning show Live with Regis and Kelly on Tuesday.
After dismissing the E! network show the newsman suggested Ali "looks to be about 60," adding "She allegedly wants to be a singer and/or actor-slash-performer of some sort, striptease person, I don't know."
The comment outraged Dina, who has hit back at Cooper, telling Ok! magazine "People are just cruel! This is bad karma for him."

Starr's publicist, Elizabeth Freund, told the Associated Press Tuesday that the drummer/singer walked out of the studio after the show's producers refused to compromise by cutting back the chat time on the program. A spokeswoman for Regis and Kelly said that Starr had been informed of the time requirement for the song when he was booked last November.
